Grace-full Nail Polish Duo (Indies Down Under July 2021) - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

It's time for another round of Indies Down Under.  This month the makers are bringing us not one but two polishes!  I have the duo from Grace-full Nail Polish to share with you today so let's just dive right in shall we? 

  

Don't Stop Be-leafing is a burnt orange crelly base with multi colour ultra chameleon flakes.  This isn't my sort of colour.  The formula is nice and easy to use.  For my swatch I used two coats but I question if I should have done a third coat as it was a little see through at the tips for my liking.

Once And Floral is a deep pink base with ultra chameleon flakies in red, bronze and gold.  I love the colour of this one.  It is super sheer on the first coat but does build up on the second coat.  I used three coats for my swatch but would consider wearing it over a base colour or a tinted base next time.

These two polishes will be available via Indies Down Under.

Grace-full Nail Polish Gem Sparks (Indies Down Under May 2021) - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

Indies Down Under is back for their second month with another range of goodies.  I have this month's shade from Grace-full Nail Polish to share with you and it's a stunner!  Although I have to say it is so much better in person than in my swatches.  Theresa makes the trickiest polishes to swatch.

Gem Sparks is a multichrome that runs through blue-purple-green-teal.  This is truly a gorgeous polish and it's so shifty.  It's definitely better in person than in my pictures.  The formula is great and easy to use.  I did find it to be a little sheer on the first coat but it does build up nicely.  For my swatch I used three coats.

I know I have said this a few times now but this polish is stunning and so much better in person.  

Gem Sparks will be available from Friday May 14th until Wednesday May 19th from Indies Down Under.

Grace-full Nail Polish Under The Reef (Indies Down Under March 2021) - Swatches & Review

 PRESS SAMPLE

One of my favourite things in the polish world is the Aussie indies.  In fairness I haven't really tried many of the international indies which is why I say that Aussie indies are my favourite.  I made the decision many, many years ago that I would only purchase Aussie indies (purely so that my wishlist wouldn't be completely insane!).  Anyway, several Aussie brands are joining together to bring us Indies Down Under.  Every two months the makers will each make an exclusive nail polish colour, nail art or nail care item based on a theme.  These exclusive products will only be available for a limited time.  The first collaboration theme is Australiana and today I have the exclusive polish from Grace-full Nail Polish to share with you.

Under The Reef is a teal to blue shifty base with multicoloured ultra chameleon flakes.  I really like the colour of this one and the flakes!  The formula is great and applies evenly.  For my swatch I used two coats.

Under The Reef will be available on March 12th to 17th March on the Indies Down Under site.
