Sparkles by Julie True Blue

Sun

Good morning!  How was everybody's weekend?  Ours was crazy busy.  We had baseball and Mr. MLiP shot my little sisters senior pictures this weekend.  Of course we managed to choose the first day of the year to hit 100 degrees to go out and do this.  The four of us spent several hours hiking all over the Arizona State University campus.  Ugh!  I debated on posting today's polish because the indie maker is no longer open but ultimately I decided to go ahead with it.  She hasn't been closed that long and I see her polishes in trade groups or on blog sales so I figure people may need swatches still.  This is True Blue from Sparkles by Julie.  This is a gorgeous blue with little holo sparkles in it.  Two coats made it perfect and it was easy to apply.

I love everything about this polish.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on it during her close out sale thanks to a very sweet polish friend that I've made.  Sparkles by Julie was one of my favorite indies.  Now I need some new ones to stalk.  What is your favorite indie brand?  I'd love to take a look at it.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Sparkles by Julie Purple Pansy

Hey guys!  You all know that Sparkles by Julie is one of my favorite indies.  So I was terribly sad to hear she is closing up shop.  On the positive side she ran a great sale and a lovely friend of mine picked up a couple of her polishes I had been wanting.  Today I have Purple Pansy to show you.  This is a light purple with white and gold glitters in it.  Honestly I'm still not sure what I think of this polish on me.  The quality is good though.  This is three coats with topcoat.  I got all sorts of bubbles from my topcoat.  Not sure what caused it.  Both pictures were taken outside in cloudy conditions.

Like I said I'm still very undecided as to what I think of this polish on me.  However I do have  a few other Sparkles to show you still.

Until next time...

Sparkles by Julie Lost in Space

Happy Saturday lovlies!  Got a quick post today from one of my favorite indie makers.  This is Sparkles by Julie Lost in Space, a black base with many shapes, sizes and colors of glitter.  I used two coats of Lost in Space for this mani.  I then topped it with one coat of Gelous and topcoat.  I had a bit of shrinkage that is driving me nuts.  I haven't had a polish shrink in forever.

*I bought this polish myself during a Christmas sale.  Then I spent my savings on another Sparkles by Julie polish.*

Sparkles by Julie Bubble Gum

Sun

Hey all!  Sorry for the slight disappearance.  I caught strep from Mr. MLiP and then I had a bad reaction to the antibiotic.  Basically all I wanted to do was sit on the couch.  I have a quick post for you today showing Sparkles by Julie Bubble Gum.  Sparkles by Julie is one of my all time favorite indie brands.  Her polishes are very high quality and shipping is super fast.  This is two coats of Bubble Gum.  For the most part my nails were opaque.  There were a few spots that could have used another coat but I couldn't tell when I painted them.  Bubble Gum is a super girly pink with purple, pink and holographic glitters.

Strawberry Licorice from Sparkles by Julie

Good morning!  I have a quickie post today featuring a gorgeous polish.  Strawberry Licorice is a dark silverish polish with purple and holo glitters in it.  The picture is two coats of SL followed by a coat of Gelous and my Color Club topcoat.  The formula is really good.  Glitter came out with no problems.  You can find Sparkles by Julie on etsy or by clicking here.

I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday.  Sorry this is so short but I have to get my boys packed for vacation.  Otherwise they'll be gone for a week wearing only what they had on when they left haha.
