The first one I'd like to show you is Jelly Jeans Queen*, a dark blue-grey shade with an incredible blue secret shimmer. The secret shimmer in this one makes me reminiscent of Brian's Ruined Z, even though the base shade of this polish is deeper and more blue than his paintjob.
This polish caught my eye right away because the shimmer is really stunning in the bottle. It doesn't show up indoors, but it's definitely visible in sunlight (see last picture below). I think they did a great job on this color because it's muted and gives off a sophisticated vibe, but the shimmer keeps it from being boring. The color really changes depending on the light--sometimes it's more grey, and sometimes it's more blue.
The formula is a jelly-creme hybrid that dries to a creme finish, and they did an excellent job on it! I used two coats with NYC Grand Central Station for my top coat, and as you can see, two coats was enough to get it completely opaque. The jelly part of the formula gave it an impeccably smooth, glossy finish--free of streaks and other nuisances that can accompany a creme finish.
Nail the BYTCH Jelly Jeans Queen*
Prior to this brand, I hadn't tried any non-glitter indie polish lines because I was skeptical of their quality, but I'm glad this one proved to me otherwise! If you dig polishes with secret shimmer, I'd say this one is worth having in your collection. Currently, these polishes are sold on Nail The BYTCH for $6 a pop.
Have you tried any colors from indie polish lines? How does this one measure up?

Oohh pretty! I love the shimmer but, most of all, the brand name is tops :P
You should definitely try some a-Englands! I just bought my first and it's almost here (I hope) but everyone else speaks so highly of them I'm sure they have to be good.
Wow, what an honor to be chosen to review some polishes! This is a nice color!
love the polish, love the stacked rings.
I like the "Women Power" brands, also :D I thought I wouldn't like the brand because I hate when people refer to women as bitches, it's just too easy... But then they turned the topic into its opposite, and I think it's fun!
The color is very interesting for sure, the shimmer is soft but adds depth. Lovely ^^
The polish is lovely and I really like the brand name! :D Awesome! ...and that ring!! Love it ;)
I love denim shades, and the shimmer in this one is so pretty!
The secret shimmer is a nice surprise!
gorgeous! love your ring too!
Check out the second polish down in this post, called Purple Smoke..it looks just like the paint on the Z: http://contrarypolish.blogspot.com/2012/07/contrary-polish-swatches-and-bottle.html?m=0
I started reading your blog last night. I just now came across that post above while trying to see how to buy another polish on it, and it made me think of this post here about the Z, so I had to come back here and show it to you! :)
It does look like denim! I love the sparkle in that last picture. Wow.
