Favorite Indie Shades of 2014


Hi everyone! Yesterday, I covered my favorite mainstream shades of the year, and today I'll cover my favorite indie shades. This was infinitely more difficult, but I finally narrowed down my top fifteen choices.


Pretty & Polished - Fireflies This shade is just electric! I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it in the bottle!


Girly Bits - Save Your Scissors I just love this shade! It's such a fantastic purple, and the sparse glitters really make it pop without overpowering the base color.


KBShimmer - Scribble Me This I found that I just kept reaching for this glitter! It's like wearing graffiti!


Scofflaw Nail Varnish - Arcane Sugar This was such an easy pick for me. This is just such a beautiful shade.


Cirque Colors - Thicker Than Water I really love this jelly! It's jewel-toned and vibrant!


I Love Nail Polish - Black Orchid You knew this would make the list, didn't you?! This may go down in polish history as my all-time fave for vampy shades.


KBShimmer - A Raisin to Live I love this deep shade. The micro glitters pop so well in it.


Pretty & Polished - Black is the New Orange I am just crazy for this thermal! It demands attention!


KBShimmer - Let's Sleigh Together I'm so into muted tones, and this one is just perfect!!


Scofflaw Nail Varnish - Happy Little Tree How could I not include this little gem?! I am mad for these awesome glitters!


Girly Bits - Snafu I know, I know - I'm probably super biased here, since this is the collab shade for my third blogiversary, but it is such a great ethereal shade!


A England - Fotheringhay Castle How stunning is this shade?!


Cirque Colors - One More Time This glitter topper is fabulous. The satin white glitters paired with the black holographic glitters is just genius.


Pretty & Polished - Fields of Poppy I love this soft creamy coral, and the hint of holo is just great!


A England - Fonteyn This is another that I just kept reaching for all year long. It's just so dreamy!

Narrowing down my list of indie faves was super challenging! There have been so many amazing collections this year!! I'll see you tomorrow to close out the year with my favorite nail art designs of 2014! Happy Painting!
