A to Z of Polish - D is for Dollish Polish

Hi Goddesses

Wow, it seems a long time ago that I started this series.  I really hoped to be steaming through it, but each post takes soooo long to put together .... yup, that's my excuse.

So, brands that begin with D .... Dior - don't own any, Different Dimension - new indie maker, polishes look sensational, Dandy Nails - don't own any ..... but I DO own lots of Dollish Polish :)

Dollish was perhaps the first indie brand I feel hard for, and it's still a brand I have a lot of affection for.  All of Dolly's polishes are top quality, and if you're looking for an indie brand to try, she's a great starting place.   Her polishes apply perfectly, and whilst she does make a lot of glitterbombs, she does other types of polishes too.

In ye olde days, Dollish Polish used to sell on Etsy, and now she's moved to BigCartel, Overall Beauty and Llarowe.   She releases themed collections which have a whiff of nostalgia to them, and she has a genuine eye for what makes great colour combinations.

I can honestly say I have never been disappointed with a Dollish.  Sure, there have been some that once I've worn them I decided they "weren't me", but every single one has been made with quality and creativity.  

Here are some from the Crumpet vault -

Nice Scrunchie, Heather - pure 50s perfection

We're Gonna Need A Bigger Boat - blue + copper = sublime

I'm A Material Girl - pink girliness

Random Dancing - my favourite glitter of all time

Hip Hop Hippity Hop - pure sweet girliness

Putting On The Ritzzzz - a black and white glitter that's as good as any glitter out there

Zombie Flesh - green perfection

Deadly Nightshade - purple and green gorey awesomeness

I still have a few more Dollishes I've not managed to wear yet - jeez, I think I could do 365 Days of Untrieds .... sooooo naughty.

Enjoy xx :)

Independents Week - Dollish Polish - Nice Scrunchie, Heather

Hellloooooooo Goddesses

Well, we have something special in the House Of Crumpet today - my very first Dollish Polish.  And is it just me that wants to spell it Dollish PoLLish ?   Lol, just me.

Dollish Polish is a wonderful lady on Etsy called Dolly who has been making her own polishes for some time now.  They are all named after various themes (this one named after an immortal line in Heathers) and keep this a secret, but DP may be my favourite frankener of them all :)

Nice Scrunchie, Heather is exquisite.  It is an awesome red, just after it steps foot in Red-land (think: tomato soup).   More than anything it reminds me of bright red plastic, the sort you get kitchen utensils made out of.  Now, I don't mean that as an insult - I mean it as the sincerest form of flattery.  There is just something so kooky, retro and kitsch about this colour.    It also reminds me of the polish ladies used to wear in the 1940s - unashamedly red.

Throughout this polish there is also the softest scattering of holo, best seen in the bottle shots.  No sun in England STILL so I couldn't get it to come out to play.  This is a shy baby of a polish, a newborn, and you have to be in sufficiently bright lighting to see the holo, but when you do, oooooooh, tis pretty.

This applied flawlessly.  I did 3 coats but could have stopped at 2.  

Believe me, this is just BEAUTIFUL.  It's just sooooo .... oh I want to swaddle it like a baby and look after it forever.   Worse, I've been stroking the bottle.

Luckily, I have been a very BAD Crumpet, and I have several Dollishes to show you over the next few weeks.  This is my first, my newborn, and will always be special, but WOWZERS, wait til you see some of the other babies Momma bought!

Enjoy xx :) oh and go buy some here xx
