Indy's Indies Crunchy Leaves

Here is something quite special. Indy's Indies is another UK Indie, and Crunchy Leaves is one of her first polishes. I was lucky enough to win this in a give away, and I was delighted when she emailed me as this is definitely my favourite. It absolutely captures the spirit of Autumn, the combination of colours is perfect. There are gold, brown, red, purple and orange hexes, very small orange hexes, and green squares. I love that there is some green in here, I think it makes the whole combination really work. This really is Autumn in a bottle!
And then for a base, well what wouldn't work? I tried dark teal, dark brown, shimmery brown, green, deep dark red - they all worked. I am absolutely certain black and purple would look great too, and I think it would lovely with nudes, oh so much more swatching needed here!
Anyway this is where Leighton Denny Feel the Burn came in. It was sat on the side while I decided its fate and I thought, maybe I'll just give it a try. I wasn't sure it would give enough contrast but actually I think the 2 polishes work really well together, the green really stands out and the other autumnal colours blend beautifully. This is just one coat of Crunchy Leaves.

  1. Wow, doesn't it photograph well. I almost can't decide whether I prefer the pics or the real deal :). It catches the light so beautifully.
