Indie Fridays!: Star Crushed Minerals - Heavenly Gold + Deep Aqua Gold + Mango

Hello darlings!

I'm back again with another post for you and this time it's more indie polishes! I'll be showing you the remaining polishes in my Star Crushed Minerals collection.

Onto to the nails!

This first polish is called Heavenly Gold!

This polish is super unique in my stash, I don't have anything similar to this at all. When you look at this polish in the bottle, it just appears to be a silver polish with gold shimmer but when you put it on, it turns into this antique-y gold goodness!

The formula of this polish was oddly thick like last week's Star Crushed Minerals swatch. The polish is thick but it's easy to work and spreads fairly well. Just let the layers dry in-between. I'm wearing 3 coats of Heavenly Gold on its own with a coat of HK Girl's Fast Drying Topcoat.

Oddly enough, I like this polish! It's very different from the polishes I normally wear but I love the added rainbow-y glitters in there.

The next polish is called Deep Aqua Gold!

What you're seeing here is 2 coats of Deep Aqua Gold on its own. This polish and the one below it are more pigmented than all the others so they require less coats. Both of these polishes don't have the odd, globby formula either. This was super easy to apply!

This is another polish that is super unique to my stash and I love the green base with the aqua glitters. I don't understand why this is called Deep Aqua Gold though? The polish is green and I don't see or remember there being a gold aspect to it….But it's still a beautiful polish!

Lastly, is Mango!

This polish ended up being my favorite of all of the polishes! What you see here is 2 coats of Mango on its own, this dried fairly quickly on its own too. I ended up adding a gold stud to each nail and wearing these to my internship this past Wednesday!

I would describe this as a mustard yellow polish but my photos aren't totally color accurate. Mango is a touch deeper and a bit more orangey in real life, and it also has a faint green shimmer to it which my camera didn't capture.

I have to admit that I've been impressed by every polish I've tried from this brand. The colors aren't really ones that I would normally wear but I really enjoyed all of these! I had already worn all of these polishes at least once before swatching them for the blog. I would say that these polishes are more mature colors than what I'm normally used to wearing but I will totally be using these all again!
