NailPopPolish - My Indie Brand

Hi everyone,

Today's blog post is all about me!  Well not exactly me, but my own indie polish range.  You'll know I do reviews on here and share with you all other nail related thoughts that I feel like talking about but now it's time to talk just about my brand.
Remember an earlier post where I started to look into the world of indie polish and I shared with you the ones I found and some swatches of ones I had purchased?  That got me thinking into what you actually need to do to make your own.  I did a lot of research and found a site that sells the materials needed and after some trial and error I can say I think I've got the hang of it now!  I just recently opened up my own shop on Etsy and you can find me here trading under NailPopPolish.

I'm still new to the whole branding thing and I've been trying different avenues to get my name out there.  If you follow me on any of my social media I have been sharing a lot of pictures, videos and nail art using my own brand.  I've also sent out press samples to the lovely Mo from Pretty Quirky (Blog Here) and she shared some amazing pictures.  It is so wonderful to have such positive feedback on something that I created and I'm happy my creations are being liked!

I feel like I've done enough rambling in this first part that it's time to share with you some pictures and videos.

This is my most recent uploaded video to YouTube and in it I used my polish Milkyway (it's the bluey-purple sheen you can see).  I love the diversity of this polish.  This is actually how it looks in the bottle:

This is a topper polish so you will get a different effect over different base polishes.  If you want it to stay as close to the bottle colour you can get, apply it over white.  I also think this looks great over a french manicure for that beautiful sheen.

For the moment I have 2 collections and 4 misc polishes (ones I created and liked but didn't have a particular theme for).  You can find 7 in my Stars & Planets Collection, 3 in my Flowers Collection and 2 in my misc section.  I sell in 5ml and 10ml bottles and all my range is 5-free.

What do you mean 5-free?
You might have seen this come up in other polish collections (mainstream and indie) or even seen some saying 3-free.  This means that my polish does not contain the following; Toluene, Formaldehyde & Dibutyl Phthalate(DBP), Camphor and Formaldehyde Resin.  It is also cruelty free.

Here's one of my misc polishes, Sprinkles.  This one is a really fun topper that contains multi-coloured matte circles.  I wanted to create something different with this one and I think I achieved that.

This turned out to be a great macro shot of Forget-Me-Not as I managed to capture that golden sheen it has!  This one as I'm sure you can guess is from the Flowers Collection.  I am really pleased with this one as it comes out very opaque in two coats and when I first mixed it up I thought it might end up being a more sheer effect.  It took me a while to name this one which surprised me.  With my Stars & Planets Collection I had names picked out before I had the actual polish mixed up!

I created this nail art design recently and used Stellar over the black.  Stellar is a mix of two different sized silver holographic glitter suspended in a clear base and I can't get enough of it over black!  I am obsessed with all things shiney as I'm sure you can tell!  I have just placed an order for some different holo pigment to try out and I can't wait for that!  (That collection won't be available until 2016, so stay tuned for that!)

I don't want this post to go on for too long as I have so many pictures and videos I want to share.  Instead I will leave you all my social media links and if you want to check out more nail art and everything else nails you can :)
