Indigo Strippers

I kept telling myself not to get any polishes from Forever 21, but their polish section kept luring me in... until one day, I broke and purchased Indigo. I mean, just look at it! It's the perfect blurple polish with blue shimmer. I must admit it looks cooler in the bottle, but ain't that usually the case! Although it had a sheer jelly formula, the polish was definitely buildable. I used three coats, topped with NYC Grand Central Station in my swatches below.
By the way, if the blue shimmer seems to stand out more on my ring finger, it's not the polish--I actually tried stamping for the first time! It was quite a fail, but I left it on because it seemed hardly noticeable on the nails.






Love & Beauty Indigo

The name of this polish brings a funny story to mind. When I was in high school, one of my classmates told me that if he ever became a stripper, his stripper name would be Indigo. Completely random, right?! Well anyway, because of that incident, I've come to associate Indigo with strippers.

XXI polishes have a spot in my heart...there was a period of time where I'd stand there for ages trying to figure out which to get...

I now do that infront the China Glaze section at the beauty supply store lol

Anyway, this colour is SAO pretty. It looks great on you!

I love that color! I'm so jealous of all the ladies in the States, discovering these awesome & cheap lines of polish! That is a beautiful violet shade.
