This is an appreciation post, over a year ago I made a Reddit account only to follow a hobby I was into. Then this sub came across my feed and I was captivated. I was only using drug store nail polishes, I’ve never heard of any indie polishes then and it became a rabbit hole I was excited to dive into deeper. Now I’m hooked, and to be honest I haven’t looked back. All my drug store nail polishes are stored in a different shelve separately from my indie polishes and they’re dusty now.
I’ve gotta admit, I didn’t wanna paint my nails other than with indie polishes. Just recently I told myself to go back to where it all began, to the China Glaze, Sally Hansen, and Essies. I can’t believe I was being bougie.
Thank you to this community 💐🥲

I love when the old favorites still bring joy!! I never get tired of my old red cremes. 😁🥰
essie ethereal escape is one of my favorite toppers and I’m right there with you on the indie love, but that one is a classic!
