SPREAD INDIE LOVE BOX for December 2015 : Swatches and Review






Hi there, my darlings! This afternoon, I'm really excited to share with you my thoughts on a fantastic collaborative box, the Spread Indie Love Box, with which you can get a taste of various indie products all at once. Not just polish but nail care, bath and body and more. The makers involved change for each box so you get a really diverse selection of products each time. What a great idea, right?! I thought so too which is why I was really excited when the opportunity to review December's SILB came my way!


When this box arrived on my doorstep, even before I opened it, it smelled SO GOOD! And then when I got over my little frenzy of sniffing and actually opened it, the box was PACKED! And I mean, like full to the brim with goodies!




This month, the box contains 5 polishes, 2 beauty products and 3 extra little samples. Let's take a peek shall we?!




POLISH : This month features polishes from Blue Eyed Eyed Girl Lacquer, Cupcake Polish, Dollish Polish, Ever After Polish and Polish 'M--quite the assortment already!




A Bit Of Bubbly from Blue Eyed Eyed Girl Lacquer is a creamy taupe with pink and gold shimmer. This goes on a bit sheer with the first coat but levels out nicely with each subsequent coat--the swatches show 3 coats topped with 1 coat of Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat. The hidden shimmer in this one is so gorgeous at certain lights!

Only Got Ice For You from Cupcake Polish is a minty blue green with a linear holographic finish and tons of added silver flakies. Smooth, easy application and formula--the swatches below show 2 coats topped with 1 generous coat of Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat to finish the look. How absolutely divine is this shade--it looks like diamonds and ice and Winter magic!

Winter Solstice from Dollish Polish is an murky aqua blue jelly with blue and copper glitters and added shimmer running through it. Lovely application and formula--the swatches below show 3 thin coats topped with 2 generous coats of Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat to finish the look. I absolutely love the contrast of the blue and the copper! So pretty!

First Frost from Ever After Polish is a pale, blush pink holographic polish with light lavender undertones and a touch of added holo microglitter. This one did go on a tad streaky on the first coat but evened out beautifully by the second coat--the swatches below show 3 thin coats topped with 1 thin coat of Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat. So delicate and feminine, this baby reminds me of the first hint of dawn on a cold Winter's morning!

Feelin Frosty from Polish 'M is a shimmery pale slate gray linear holographic crelly with teeny tiny holo glitters in blue, pink and purple and added blue flakies. No complaints at all with the formula or application--the swatches below show 2 coats topped with 2 generous coats of Glisten & Glow's HK Girl topcoat to finish the look. I love, love, love this one--the gray is perfect for Winter and the flakies/glitters give it that extra little something!

BEAUTY : Two full-sized beauty products from Lou It Yourself and Handmade Natural Beauty is also included in this month's box and since I'm just getting into indie bath and body products, I was really thrilled!


Chestnuts and Brown Sugar Soap from Handmade Natural Beauty. Warm and toasty, this full-bodied soap just smells cozy! I can't think of a better way to express it!

EXTRAS : Last but definitely not the least, the box contained a few mini sample extras from Alter Ego, Love, Angeline and Sassy Pants Polish. Consider these little additions teasers, if you will!


Mani Bubbly in Champagne Fragrance Oil from Alter Ego Nail Enamels, egoSCENTrics, egoMANia, PUPPegos. I was particularly glad to see this in the box! Why? I've worked with Alter Ego before and I didn't even know she made bath products! And now I know!

Black Raspberry Vanilla cuticle oil from Love, Angeline. Now I'm not a big fan of vanilla but in combination with the black raspberry, it's so good! And the teeny tiny sample is just too cute!
