Hello,
After my last post chatting to you about indie polish, I have started to look more into who actually makes it in the UK and thought why not share my finds with you. One thing I noticed through my searching of indie polish is the number of holographic polishes made. I can understand why as I myself also bought holographic polishes from Dark Metal Lacquer. One thing I noticed though was the holographic effect on polishes from USA were much more prominent than those available in the UK. After doing research into how to create my own indie polish I found out why this is. There is a pigment called spectraflare and its holographic properties are amazing. However it is not passed as safe for cosmetic use in EU regulations so the UK indie polish makers cannot use this in products they sell. I actually purchased spectraflare a few years ago after reading a blog saying this is what they used to create a polish and tried adding it to a clear. Now thinking about it, it must have been an American or possible even an Australian blog I had read this in. Anyway I have digressed from the subject at hand!
So the first site I'd like to share with you is Rainbow Connection. This one has a variety of different indie brands in one place.
Rainbow Connection
What's great about this site is it actually also has international brands stocked here for sale! As you'll all know, there is restrictions in place that makes it very hard to order polish from out of the country as if it is found by customs it will be destroyed. Buying from here means you don't have to worry about that at all. This site also stocks Gelibility (I done a review on this product for my channel) which turns any polish into gel polish.
Another great thing about this website is the monthly themed box you can purchase. You all know I love the monthly boxes I purchase from Coloristiq and Nailboxuk, but how about a box that is strictly full of indie polish and the polish is specially created around a theme for said box?! Have a look here to see what I mean:
Paint The Rainbow
For the next website, there is Danglefoot Nail Polish. I found out about this one after a polish was included in a Coloristiq box. You can find Hayley's Etsy store here:

Up next one we have Dark Metal Lacquer. Now I have done a previous post going into detail of my purchases from Kami so feel free to go back and read that one for more in depth information. Check out her page here:

Moving on we have Freckles Polish, check out the website here:

These are the ones I've found so far, I'm sure there is more I haven't come across yet. If you know of any I should check out, please let me know! I'm going to try delving into polish making in the coming days as my products will be arriving very soon. I'll share with you how I get on and maybe in the future I'll be able to sell my own brand!
Until next time
Lyn
