No H8

 Since there has been a outbreak of what seems like hateful talk in the blogosphere, I figured I would paint my nails in honor of the No H8 initiative. So here's my No H8 post, because I feel like all of us in the nail polish world should stick together and not be hateful or spiteful.
This bullying issue is very close to my heart. I was emotionally bullied when I was younger, and I still don't feel like I truly got over it. I am still paranoid, and have lower than normal self esteem, but I am a fighter and am getting past this. However, I don't want anyone to ever have to feel the way I did. We must stand up and make sure that others don't have to feel abused and bullied ever. We need to bring positiveness and beauty to this world. :)

So in case you are wondering, Iron Clad Nails is an Indie brand, so this is under the Indie tagline as well, but isn't part of my Indie part series.
If you want to purchase some more like High Octane, she has an etsy site @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/ironcladnails.
Hope you enjoyed this, and remember No H8 is allowed!
Until next time, 
Peace, 
Rikya.

Election Day Special!



So today November 6th is election day, so I thought I would do something special on my nails. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures!




It's daring digits' unnamed blue, NotTooPolished's White Rabbit, and Ulta red. I figure I am covered for either side of the political spectrum~ :)

Until next time,
Peace,
Rikya

Indie part 4

Front label
Back shot of Eye of Newt
I was on a swatching roll, so here it is! 
NotTooPolished's Eye of Newt and Holly and the Ivy!



Side shot. How amazing is this?!
Bottom label


This looks amazing, and speaks for itself. The eye of newt is on the left, and holly and the ivy is on the right.
I love them both! Eye of newt reminds me of daisies, and Holly and the ivy definitely reminds me of ivy. I definitely will have eye of newt as one of my go to colors for spring!
Once again, if you want to buy either of these colors, go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/nottoopolished


Until next time,

Indie Polish Rings!

This is something that I have recently started doing, so once the polish makers get their rings that I am sending them, I will upload the pictures, so that all you guys can see them! :)

Coming soon....

Indie Part 3 (NotTooPolished White Rabbit)

As my indie parts continue, here is another installment with some more polishes from NotTooPolished!!
This time this is the ever wonderful  White Rabbit. As I hope you can tell by the pictures, its a grey shimmer base, with flecks of silver glitter, and more plentiful grey opaque flecks.
When I first saw this, I thought to myself, this is perfect for those winters days that you want to wear something darker, yet beautiful. It looks beautiful on the nails, and I had no problem with any of the glitter curling. 
Only one coat!
A back bottle shot!

A front bottle shot!

 How beautiful are these!









This is a picture of the Eyrie, layered over White Rabbit, with the thumb being just one coat of the Eyrie. SO pretty!
Once again, you can go purchase these and other lovelies by NotTooPolished on her etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/nottoopolished

Until next time,
Peace,
Rikya
