I'm Marbles for Polish!

Hey Gals!

I'm thrilled to introduce you to a new indie polish company!

The name of it is Marbles for Polish! These are a PR sample but the opinions are my own.

I have to say i am VERY impressed! The polish is highly pigmented and was opaque in one coat. I also found the glitter toppers to be very saturated and was satisfied in one coat. On to the visual stimuli!!


From left to right: Cosmopolitan, Lust, and Blue Hawaiian:

Cosmopolitan is a glitter topper with red circles, hexes and shreds. It levels well and the photos taken are without topcoat. This is one medium coat.

Lust is a part of the upcoming seven deadly sins collection. I should point out that my bottle was a prototype and the finished product is darker which I think is very fitting for Lust!

This is one coat with a top coat. To top it off I wore this three days before I had time to photo it!

Here are 7 things about me:




(Photo credit goes to : http://dianekress.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/pcostreatment/)


1.) I have PCOS. Its a nifty way of saying my hormones do what they want. I think this is worth bringing up because your hormones really do affect how cosmetics and polish act on me. I also think that more women should talk about this.


2.) In high-school I never wore makeup. I had good skin and didn't really get into all the glitz and glam. Right after High School I got my degree in Early Ed and taught preschool for 10 years. I learned a lot.


3.) Im one credit shy of getting my AA. After that Im taking a Bachelors in Computer Science Engineering. I'm horrible because I can't decide what I want to do. I like web design, Im having a ton of fun learning C++. I think I want to eventually make Apple Apps.


4.) In case you skipped that last point.... I'm a nerd! lol Seriously I love Sci fi, and fantasy. I read actual books in addition to text books. People tell me Im smart, but I know enough to know that Im not smart, just eager to learn.



(I don't know who made this original photo but If you do let me know so i can credit!)


5.) I have a polish addiction. Compared to others, my collection is small. I don't know the exact number but i have about 120 cataloged on Pinterest and about 50 that i haven't put in my inventory yet. Julep started my polish addiction. Before them I had about 6 bottles of it? I joined a group on FB called Julep swap, and that let to Indie polish which leads me to:


6.) I am a big supporter of anything indie. Books, Polish, Jewelry, art, clothing, and so forth and so on. Etsy gets me every time!


7.) I'm an avid supported of human rights. Boy, Girl, black, yellow, green, gay , straight, bi, whatever, I am for your rights. You can find out more about the Human Rights Campaign here :D
