Indie Swatches: Fanservice Nails

I've gotten a lot of indies recently. Usually as soon as they come in I wear them and take pics, but I haven't posted most of them yet. I'm going to try to clear them out this week. First up is the rest of my Fanservice Nails polishes. First up is Clownfish Driving a Sports Car.

Orange shimmer with opalescent glitter. This polish was not the easiest to apply, but wasn't awful. Anything with glitter makes hard clean up, and that was the case here. I still really like this polish. Next time I wear it, I'd like to put it over a red to bring out more red it. I think it'd look even better. This was two coats.

Next up is Gwen Cooper:

Gwen Cooper is a dark red scattered holo polish. It is absolutely gorgeous. It's like a England St. George's red sister. Applied like butter. I think this was only one coat.

And now we have Owen Harper:

Owen Harper is a white shimmer polish with red, yellow, green, blue, purple and silver glitter and larger purple hex glitter. White with glitter is really popular in the indie world right now and I love it. I love white polish and glitter, so I'm all for it :) This one applied really well. I got the purple hexes onto the nail without having to do any fishing.

Fanservice Nails polishes are available here for $11 each or 3 for $28. Ships super fast too :)

Fanservice Nails Tesseract

Tonight I have another polish from Fanservice Nails to show you! I finally saw The Avengers a couple weeks ago. It was amazing. When I was shopping around on Etsy and found one called Tesseract, I had to have it. 

Tesseract is a ice blue shimmer base with flakies. Perfect color for a Tesseract. This is two coats.

The VNL you see here wasn't at all visible in real life. I didn't notice it was there until I uploaded the pictures and had already removed the polish :/

I'm completely in love with this polish! I soo gorgeous. The last picture is with flash to help show off some of it's shimmery goodness :)

Fanservice Nails is available on Etsy here. They sell for $11 or 3 for $28.

Fanservice Nails: Invitation to Endless Wonder

I received my polish from Fanservice Nails a while ago and swatched them almost immediately, but kept forgetting to show y'all! This is Invitation to Endless Wonder. Like many indie brands, Fanservice polishes are references to nerdy thing. Unfortunately, I didn't know any of the references for this order of polish :( But I want to! They're on my list! This polish's name is taken from Warehouse 13.

Isn't the name just magical?! And look at the bottle shot! Gorgeous flakies in a purple base :) It's kinda like a kaleidoscope. I could just sit and twirl the bottle and watch it all day.

I applied two coats of Endless Wonder over Color Club Wild at Heart. It was what I was wearing when my polishes came in and I couldn't wait to put it on. I then took a bunch of pictures trying to show the color shift and it was just too pretty to edit down to less photos :) I plan to wear this soon alone.

Fanservice Nails has an Etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/yestimgunn?ref=ss_profile

Their polishes sale for $11 or you can buy in sets (3 for $28) to save a little money. I ordered my second set of 3 already! And I paid last night and they've already shipped! I love fast shippers.

Teal Tuesday: Ladies' Choice

Today's Teal Tuesday theme is Ladies' Choice which made me immediately think of this:

I loooove Zac Efron and this version of Hairspray. I was obsessed when it came out. If I'd had more time this holiday weekend, I would've done a mani inspired by the video, like those fabulous curtains in the back and those awesome paper lanterns...I'm gonna have to keep that in mind for a rainy day ;) 

I kept it simple and did two coats of Fanservice Nails Did I Fall Asleep?. This polish applied really well. It's a teal shimmer base with iridescent glitter and flakies.

I'd worn this a couple of day, so I did have some tip wear. And chipping on the ringer finger at the cuticle because I was picking at it :/

This polish was absolutely fabulous and I loved it. But my favorite thing? Removal. Usually darker polishes are a nightmare to remove because they stain your hands and nails and are super messy. These are my nails right after removing Did I Fall Asleep? without any special treatment:

 I removed it with Zoya Remove+ and felt with absolutely no problems. I only used 1/2 a piece of my felt pieces and I usually used at least a full one (sometimes two) to remove dark colors like this. And I only used one coat of nail hardener as my base coat! Excellent!

Fanservice Nails Polishes are available here. There are some wonderful polishes available. I've already worn all three I bought and loved them. I can't wait to buy more!

Mall Haul and Some Indie Nail Mail

Such a rhyme-y title! On Monday I had a whole day off work, so I decided to go to the mall. I hit up my favorite polish shops and got some goodies :) First up is Forever 21. I seriously controlled myself and only allowed myself to buy two bottles. I got a gorgeous metallic teal and a green glitter (which I'm pretty sure is a dupe of L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Purge).

And then Icing! I seriously love Icing polishes. I got 2 shredded glitter polishes and a crelly with iridescent glitter.

Icing Pre Game, Peachy Keen and Shredded

And I also picked up a mini set of neons with mirco glitter! They're so pretty and bright! I love them a lot :)

And then to The Gap. I think I can count on one hand how many times I've been to The Gap. But I really really wanted Gold Rush which is a dupe for Chanel Peridot.

Doesn't it look magical?! And look at it from this angle:

Blue/green!

Finally, I headed to JC Penney and got OPI My Pointe Exactly and Pirouette My Whistle. And they were only $6 each! They were labelled $8, so I was really excited haha.

Then after hitting up the mall, I stumbled upon Fanservice Nails on Etsy. I HAD to have these and I can't wait to try them out!
