Northern Star Polish; Sleepy Kitty and Inconcievable

Hello lovlies!

Today I am featuring yet again the always fabulous Northern Star Polish. The maker is one of the nicest I have befriended and always gets an A+++ in customer service from me :) 

I am featuring two of her current polishes. Initially I intended to include a third that was not sent to me for review, however it is no longer available so it will probably end up in a manicure post instead of here :) 

Sleepy Kitty is a glitter topper that contains matte silver diamonds, medium sized hexes and micro hexes. Hot pink mini matte squares and holo light pink butterflies, holo silver hexes , irredescent micro glitters and some medium sized holo squares. Did I miss a few? Probably. I love how diverse the variety of glitters included in this glitter topper are. It is a little thick and I kinda wish there were a few more butterflies so I would have an easier time of getting them onto my nails. In the photos I believe I am wearing about two coats. The density of glitter is pretty in between. It is definitely not meant to be worn on its own as an opaque glitter polish. I am wearing OPI Skull and Glossbones underneath Sleepy Kitty.  (Disregard the strange coloration of my fingers in the photos. I have been washing dishes by hand and my skin is reacting weird to it)

Inconceivable is a really beautiful dusty blue jelly. It is pretty opaque in three coats and dries pretty nicely too. I love the dimension you get from the multiple layers and pretty gold glitter (squares). There is less to say about this one only because it is less technical. I can list a million kinds of glitter... or just show photos :)

They are super gorgeous! 

Northern Star Polish goes for either $8.50 for a full sized (15ml)  or $5.50 for an 9ml size (a medium mini). 

I love how easy to apply both of these polishes are. Check out these and lots more beauties at Northern Star Polish on Etsy

Northern Star Polish

Hello everyone!!!

Today's swatches are sponsored by the amazingly talented Northern Star Polish!!! She sent me four polishes for me to swatch for you guys and a mini cuticle oil that smells amazing!!!!


To start off, the minis are 9ML!! That is so awesome because they are not as itty bitty as normal mini polishes. They have enough for a good number of wears, not just two or three like the all of the other indie ones. Which is perfect if you don't want or cannot rationalize a whole full sized bottle, but you know that you will want to wear it for  more than one or two times. The formulas were all awesome. They applied evenly and easily. I loved the colors and combinations that each had. I swatched all but Wuv, too Wuv over OPI's Skull and Glossbones because it is a great medium tone neutral gray that makes the glitters pop!


Kismets Kiss is an awesome glitter topcoat that has red micro glitter, small red and pink hexes, silver holo diamonds and grey and light pink hearts. It is beautiful on the nails but you do have to fish around for the hearts and diamonds. I think this polish would actually be easier to manage in a mini than a full sized like I recieved. I had to reallly roll the polish in my palms, Northern Polish uses Zilla beads a very large size stainless steel bead that could potentially shatter the bottle if shaken too violently. For future reference she includes three in each bottle, both mini and full sized. The beads help to kick up the sunken glitters effectively. Avoid storing this polish on its side or all the hearts and diamonds will get stuck to the walls of the glass.

I used the school glue technique so as to avoid having to deal with polish remover this time around!! Polish remover makes my cuticles all dry and yucky so I avoid it as much as possible. I also have been working in the Photography darkroom. Yay! More chemicals to wreak havoc on my hands..


Antares is a super pretty top coat polish that could hypothetically be worn on its own. It has blue green micro hexes, red and white medium sized hexes and large red star glitters. I love how it looks and the stars came out on their own with not too much fishing. If that isn't a win than I don't know what is! It applied evenly but was a bit thick because of how much glitter was packed into it. It was not a super "hungry" glitter but a few coats of top coat made it super slick and shiny.

This honestly was my favorite of the four. It contains hot pink and silver mirco glitters, silver hexes, red medium hexes,  pink and silver larger hexes. It applied beautifully, had a great jelly to it (I am wearing two coats here over a slightly tinted base coat) and the glitters were well distributed. I wanted to wear this color as long as possible so I could not do the school glue trick. The consistency  was relatively thin but not watery. I like a thinner polish so this was perfect for me. No major issues with having to fish around for the larger hexes either. If I could have chosen just one polish to receive in full sized it would have been this one!

Day Dream is a sheer purple jelly, VERY SHEER, that has purple and blue matte small square glitters, medium gold hexes and large blue matte square glitters. It applies well but the large blue squares are hard to get on the brush. I love it over Skull and Glossbones.

Nerd Lacquer GORAMMIT

          So this is my second ever Indie post.. and my first time wearing an indie glitter polish. I must say that I loved it! Gorramit is gorgeous! All of my friends who try to keep up with me and my polish obsession thought it was CG Hunger Games Electrify over a yellow cream... the right colors of glitter but not quite the variety! Anyhow, I love this polish; I was able to get full opacity in two coats. The glitter did not get chunky what so ever when I did a third as a test. I love that the application is very smooth, the glitter spreads across the nail fairly evenly, no dab and spread technique necessary! It wears very well.. I did however wear it with both the base coat and top coat from Revlon's Colorstay collection (which I love and will be reviewing both halves very soon!) This thankfully was not a hungry glitter, the Revlon TC is not very thick so it does not do well by the way of smoothing out gritty glitters. (SN gritty glitters make me twitch, it was one of the few reasons I like SV (seche vite) better than Revlon TC with Zoya Hurry up drops. )
            Anyhow, I really loved this color. ,It is beautiful, applies wonderfully and even more so wore well even with the horrors my nails are faced by on a daily basis!
    More often than not my Harry Potter buddies said that I was representing Gryfindor *gasp* because they say I am from Hufflepuff, they call me the Honey Badger because I have a generally unparalleled sense for finding amazing deals in our group of friends >..< and now you all know why I am a Hufflepuff. 
         But~~~~ on to the photos! This is VERY PICTURE HEAVY! I had a bit too much fun on this one. Oh well, enjoy! (I tried really hard not to make a mess of my cuticles this time around.. but I did take these photos before the discussion about my lack of clean up, I APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY FOR THAT!
