Hare Oceans of Alloys

Hello everyone! Good Monday morning! Not so good for me. I didn't sleep much last night but as Mondays go, it should be an okay one. It's breaking 60F today so spring is officially here!!

Today's post is another one of my polishes from my last Hare purchase during the Christmas season. I have to say, I'm not a huge purchaser of indie polishes yet but each time I try one of my Hare polishes, I get curiouser and curiouser about more of their polishes and other indies as well. This picture below was taken on the iPhone.

This is such a complex polish. It's hard to comprehend just how complex it is until you're holding the bottle in your hand and wearing the polish on your nails. You can see the copper and gold square glitter in the light teal jelly base but there are surprising flashes of green, purple, blue from small glitters that I suspect as being holographic glitters. The pictures below are taken on my actual camera. The colors look so different! I think the iPhone picture is actually more accurate...darn. So much for getting the pricey camera if I can't figure out how to get accurate colors on it.

This was a little bit of a pain to put on, as others have mentioned. It is thick and syrupy but I think it's worth it. This was two semi thick coats, simply because I couldn't get any thin coats until I put some thinner in it towards the end.

I have worn one other Hare polish and so far I'm impressed. Oceans of Alloys was sparkly and interesting and I can't wait to go through the rest of the Hare polishes I have!

Hare Why So Igneous?

Hey there, everybody! Hope everyone had a good week. I sure did....I'm done with my first trimester! That's right, I'm knocked up! All the large gaps in between posts, the complaints of nausea and fatigue, all cause of the first trimester misery. I had my ultrasound done this week and it was so much fun to see the baby bouncing and turning waving it's arms. So cute!!!

Ok, on to the polish. The next few posts are going to show some of the manis I did in the depths of my fatigue and nausea/vomiting. I'm surprised any of them turned out anywhere good enough to post. Giving myself a manicure was way more than I could handle most of the time and a lot of times I either walked around with chipped polish (gasp) or no polish. I must have slept half the day and the other half I was like a zombie. I'm not sure how I did full days of work this whole time.

Anyway, back to the polish again. This is Hare Why So Igneous? I got a bunch of Hare polishes right before Christmas and then didn't really get around to wearing any of them. They all look so pretty in their bottles! These are probably my first indie polishes aside from Cover Band Sticks and Stones from way back when.

I just love the way this polish looks now, when I see it in pictures. I had surprisingly better clean up than I remembered doing. I'm going to have to wear it again sometime, now that I can actually appreciate polish without throwing up. (It was a weird trigger. Maybe the smell?)

I wore it over Orly After Party, which in my opinion is a very underwhelming polish. Good for a black base, that's about it. I was not really impressed. Why So Igneous? on the other hand, a big fan.
