Was it a full moon yesterday or what? All sorts of cray blew up yesterday, and it all started with that crazy earthquake that woke me up at 6:30am in the morning. The rest of the day went down hill from there, but at least ended on a fun note when we went shopping for LO's Purim costume for today. She's going to be a fairy ballerina, complete with little wings to dance around with. Oh, and you betcha that I finished St Paddy's with a beer, after all, I needed it!
Today I have one of my polish picks from the TPF Indie Exchange called Indian Summer by Above The Curve. Unfortunately I don't believe it's available anymore as it was an LE released last summer. The base is a sheer fuchsia jelly that builds up to opacity in two to three coats, and within that squishy jelly is a multitude of glitters in all shapes and sizes, notably some pink circles, iridescent squares, purple and cinnamon hexes, and pink stars. I used three coats here to maximize glitter coverage and minimize VNL. I had no difficulty with application other than some mild clumping of glitters. It dries to a satin shine and needs a couple layers of topcoat to smooth the glitters down and add shine.

I don't normally wear pinks but I was drawn to this polish because of it's colorful mix of glitters that blend together beautifully. If I could paint LO's nails, this is what she'd be wearing with her costume today! Above The Curve masterfully mixes together glitters to create unique showstopping polishes. Currently she's got a ton of holos in her lineup, so be sure to check out her cartel site.
This is a very cute color! I'm starting to like pinks a lot more, especially when there's glitter in them. The earthquake woke my whole family up around the same time too, but I think my niece was the only one to sleep through it.
