Hey ladies (and possibly gentlemen?)!   I have another indie review for you tonight!  I'm so grateful to these amazing indie creators, for taking a chance on a new nail blogger to get their products out there.  I started following Laura, the co-owner of Polish Addict, on Instagram a few weeks ago.  And since then I have fallen in love with all the insane polishes she's put out.  I purchased my first Polish Addict, Gossip Girl, from her discontinued shop and I love it.  And she recently sent me one of her newest polishes for review!!

May 1st she is releasing her next collection, the Crelly Collection.  There are six colors in the collection, and they all have a milky white "crelly" base.  A "crelly" is creme-jelly base, that has a slightly opaque yet jelly base to it, and one of my new polish faves. It's very versatile.

So as I said before, the collection has 6 polishes.  From left are: Neon Nights, Standing in the Neon, Confetti Burst, Sweet Dreams, 20/20, and Fireflies.  

I received the fourth polish, Sweet Dreams.

So pretty right?!  It's got the milky white base that all the collection has, and it is literally PACKED with different glitters.  There are the glitters you can see in the macro shots I have here, the blue and green and purple squares, both big and small.  The hexes, again both large and small.  And then there is even more buried inside this treasure chest of polish.  There are also big black hexes, small green stars, and medium purple stars.  Along with tiny blue and green glitters.  There is so much going on in this polish!  And that's a great thing, because I never had to fish for glitters.  I have yet to find a square glitter, or hex other than black, it seems most of those have stuck to the sides of the bottle, but I love the dimension of the black hexes, they were such a surprise that I was not expecting.

First application of Sweet Dreams, in sunlight

This was three coats, topped with one coat of SV.  The polish went on very smoothly, no balding, and like I said, glitters in every swipe.  It builds really well and three coats is the perfect amount.  

Second application of Sweet Dreams, in light box

I hope I get into some of those different colored squares and hexes, but I will love this polish even if they never let go of the bottle wall.  I will definitely be stalking the Polish Addict shop come May.  And who knows, if I leave enough hints for Hubs, maybe I can open the full collection on Mothers Day? He'd be sure to get an amazing Father's Day present if that were the case ;)

Go show Laura's shop some love, support small businesses and indie polish companies!  You won't be disappointed.
