Fantastic Clash-Tastic

Indie Polish is, you guessed it, an indie polish brand that makes an array of amazing glitter polishes. They are always having flash sales to go along with their already great prices!!

This spectacular chunky glitter is Clash-Tastic! There's a lot in this polish, which is what makes it so FANTASTIC! Smaller red hexes, medium light purple hexes, large blue hexes (these are the hard ones to get out the bottle), medium magenta circles and tons of bright blue micro matte glitter (this is my favorite part I think). 


I started off this mani with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter-A-Peel. I layered one coat of Clash-Tastic over 2 coats of China Glaze Refresh Mint. I know what you're thinking: That looks blue! It is. I have a faulty bottle of Refresh Mint that looks like robin's egg blue. I've read some other bloggers have had the same issue. Go figure. Anyway, I topped this off with Sally Hansen Dries Instantly and then Essie Matte About You.


I love glitter polishes matted, don't you???


MACROS :)


I used a pointy orange wood stick to push down the larger glitters to help with lifting. Do you have any tips/tricks to applying these chunky type glitters?

  1. The base color is so nice, and so does the glitter but glitter polishes are so hard to get off it just makes me not want to use them. :(

  2. I get very frustrated with large glitter,and thicker stick on designs. because the taco(curl a little and stick up not matter how many coats of top coat you put over them.Then they snag on clothes and scratch skin.I've about stopped wearing large glitter due to the aggravation and time consumption. But mostly the curling up;that's the tip I need ya'll.

    1. You need to stick with reputable brands that test their glitter. Some glitter is not solvent resistant and will curl. I also use an orange wood stick to lightly push down the really big glitters to make sure they aren't sticking up at all because I have that snagging problem too. I did that with this mani and it worked really well. Hope this helps! :)
