Dead Set Babes nail polish: Marls

Yet another purple nail polish post from me because I've been loving it lately!

I was gifted this lovely subtle scattered holo polish with the cute name Marls and it happens to be the first ever indie brand nail polish I've ever tried.  I'm so mainstream really but it's never too late to kick the boundaries at least a little. Dead Set Babes is an Australian custom indie brand nail polish available on Etsy (here).  The product is Vegan, 5-free and cruelty free.

I was really pleased with the application and finish of the polish.  It had an easy to work with consistency, good medium sized brush and it dried very quickly without the need for a top coat.  The holo is quite subtle and needs to be fully appreciated in bright light and (naturally) the day I wore this it happened to be grey and overcast so I've had to rely on artificial light to capture the beauty.  I think I've done it justice though - such a beautiful grape with a kaleidoscopic shimmer.

    1. Yeah, I can't really remember the last time I wore a holo. I don't have many true holos anyway so that's part of the explanation :p

  4. I love a good Holo! This is a gorgeous shade!

    I'm so tempted to pick up some from Dead Set Babes; it's on my wishlist, only I just bought six holos from another Etsy seller so I have to be good for a while. :)

    1. So many polishes, so few hands! I'm trying not to buy too many polishes at the moment for that very reason too!
