Indie ABC-Challenge - Week 1: A-B-C-D

I´ve been wanting to do a ABC-challenge ever since I started this blog. Going through my collection, shelf by shelf, an pick out the polishes I need in alphabetic order... And here it is! I must admit it has taken me quite a few weeks to put it together. (I even got an excuse to buy some more polishes to fill out the gaps on certain letters, but I am so not ever going to admit that.)

Brand Presentation - Oopsie Daisies

The brand Oopsie Daisies is and Indie brand which has been closed down. Their Etsy shop page is still around but here are no polishes for sale there. The last post on their Facebook page was in December 2014. 
I got my hands on a few of the bottles second hand through the nail polish Facebook group. I sure am happy to have them!

Space Themed Nail Polish Week

What a stressful week it has been! They are close to tearing down half the building where I work which makes it a very noisy, dirty and smelly environment to work in. The workers even broke a window in one of the offices and who had to clean up after that? Me of course (since it is my job to do so).
This week is space themed! I don´t know if I have mentioned here how much I love the movie "Passengers". It´s by far the best movie I´ve ever seen and these four polishes remind me a little bit about the movie.

Kiko 288 - Pink Flamingo


Manicure: Two to three coats of "Pink Flamingo".
Note: This is the type of sheer crelly creme polish I don´t like. It covers pretty bad and looks too thick with three coats.
Grade: 2
