Sally Hansen XTreme Wear Indi-Glow

Hey everybody!  You may have guessed that life has gotten a wee bit busy for me lately.  If you did guess that, you'd be correct! :D  I have some hefty things on the horizon, namely taking care of my Mom after knee replacement surgery next week.  I wanted to try to squeeze in a post before things got too crackers...so how about a super-pretty jelly?

Sally Hansen XTreme Wear Indi-Glow kinda sneaked up on me.  I have only seen this in one Walgreens, ever.  I wasn't sure if it would be as pigmented as it looks in the bottle, when I opened it up and pulled out the brush, I knew I had to have it. :)


Isn't this pretty?  Indi-Glow is a true indigo, a deep violet blue full of delightfully squishy attributes.  It's also full of color-changing glitter that was impossible to capture on film.  Just look at the bottle shot, and that's what it looks like on the nail.  I'm wearing three coats, and application was pretty much perfect.


Of course, you know I'm always singing the blues (uh, no pun intended) when it comes to my jelly tip wear.  It's just always there, much like my famous non-friend, Mr. VaNeLi.  Indi-Glow isn't this transparent in real life either.  And it's crazy how the photos just don't show the plethora of glitter in this polish.  I guess you could say this photographic journey a la jelly was a total flop.

But I DID manage to get a pseudo-decent macro shot that (somehow) shows all the glitter.  Okay...just imagine this glitter not only being abundant, but glowing and color-changing as well! :D


Well.  Best thing I can say about this post is that my cuticles look fairly good.  You all might be glad you won't see me next week. :P

Indi-Glow is a part of the XTreme Wear Limited Edition Spring 2014 line.  I highly recommend it for anybody who is addicted to jellies! 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you all very soon. <3

  1. Its nice but I bet it would look better layered over a similar base color to it.

    1. I will try that...it's funny, but I never think to layer a jelly over another color.

  2. Yummy on that squishy jelly!! I will miss your nails and posts terribly but your Momma needs you and you are such a doting daughter for being there to take care of her!!! I think this is one of those polishes where Mr. VaNeLi is allowed to be in attendance ;-)

  3. Crackers...jelly...:D This looks pretty freakin' cool in your photos so I can only imagine the real life experience, lol. I actually went out and looked for this on my break today after seeing your fb post but alas, it is not at Fred Meyer. I'll have to go check my Walgreens and cross my fingerses.
    Love, hugs, and prayers for you and your mom <3<3<3 Come back when you can, Mo :)

  5. Hi Melissa, I am so so happy to see you here!!!!! And what a beauty you have for us - gosh I am floored!!! You certainly taught me a thing or two about jellies and while I used to wear it layered only, you showed me how gorgeous they look on their own!!! And this one is like a midnight sky with twinkling stars ! Deep space on your nails!!! Best wishes for your mum - I am sure all will go well!!! My thoughts are with you xxx

    1. Thank you dear. <3 I am wondering now if I should have picked two of these beauties up, because they are so cheap, and it looks like they are nowhere else to be found! It really is a special look that is rather indie-esque. :)

  6. This is a beautiful polish! The combination of the glitters and the blue jelly is amazing! Those darn jellies... so pretty in real life, but the thinner tip always shows up in pictures. Hope your mom is doing ok and wishing her a speedy recovery! <3
