Today's challenge was "silver", I was really not sure what to do and was lacking inspiration for this. Especially since the theme was silver and I've been itching to try my new indie polishes that I won in Kayla's indie nail art contest. I won a gift certificate to Harlow & Co, and instantly went shopping ;) 

But when I went through my stash of polishes and supplies ideas came rushing in and I ended up having problems deciding which idea to use! So I did a skittle, to try and use all my ideas at once :p And it actually ended up being almost an indie mani, the only polish that is not an indie is the silver Depend polish.

I don't know, is this too much blue for a silver themed mani? I guess it does sort of scream "blue" more than "silver", but so what, these indie polishes are amazing!

Ozotic - 914 is a blue shimmer filled with scattered holo particles. I wasn't able to capture the holo effect with my camera, even with direct flash, and the sun is not planning to come out for the rest of this week. So you're just gonna have to make do with pictures of it still looking awesome ;) I used two coats for my middle finger, but I could easily have done with one.

I layered one coat KB Shimmer - Hex Appeal over one coat of Ozotic - 914. See how much glitter I got with just one coat? It could have built up to full opacity by itself, but I layered it simply because of lazyness. This is my first indie glitter bomb polish, I'm not really a fan of glitter bombs, but this one really is pretty cool!

I am pretty happy with this mani, I'm a sucker for skittles, I'm really loving blue nail polish at the moment and glitter is always great. 

I must say I'm very pleased with the shipping from Harlow & Co, it was really quick! I expected it to take a couple of weeks to arrive, but my package arrived in less than a weeks time. However, I'm not over the moon about their website, it took a while before I figured out how the brands were organized, and I do not like that they show so many products that are out of stock. It makes it more difficult finding the polish you want.

If you're in Europe, you can also buy Ozotic at NorwayNails.com.
