Today I have my complete review of the polishes sent to me from Amy at Evolve Indie Polish, a newer indie to the nail community that has some super cool polishes available now! Not only are the polishes super fun BUT the packaging was the best. Each set was packed nicely away in a tin, tucked in a little nest for extra protection, and tied with some crafty twine. I am a sucker for adorable packaging so that won me over right away.
Onto the swatches!
First up is Patient Engagement, a lovely gray jelly packed with silver hexagon glitters in different sizes. This was one of my favorites!!! I used 3 thin coats and had no issues with application.
Here, I added a matte topcoat and you can really see all of the glitters that are packed in this polish!

(A little note about Patient Engagement....It took me a while to finalize this blog post but as I went back to look at the bottles again, I noticed that the polish didn't quite look as it did when I first swatched it. So, I reswatched the polish on a swatch stick and noticed that the larger hexagon glitters bled and were transparent. I did bring this to Amy's attention and she was very thankful that I let her know. Apparently, her supplier sold her a bad batch of glitters that were supposed to be solvent resistant and she is working on getting everything corrected. For now, she has pulled this color off the site and it will no longer be available until everything is sorted out. Major bummer since this was such a lovely polish BUT I have high hopes that it'll be available again.)
Here we have the lovely Placid Village, a gorgeous cerulean jelly with blue green metallic and matte white hexagon glitters. Another favorite! Of course I HAD to add a matte topcoat on it and oh my wow. Love this!
3 thin coats, with glossy topcoat.

This is Little Bo Keep, an awesome soft pink creme. This is totally a staple for any collection and will definitely be of use during Spring!
Shown here in 2 thin coats with glossy topcoat. I added a stamped accent nail with my Cici&Sisi stamping plates and stamping polish from Mundo de Unas.
This glitter topper is Wine Dine Time, a polish loaded with burgundy and silvery gold glitters. This topper is so packed with glitters and only had to use 1 coat over my base in my mani. Although I didn't try it, I imagine it could offer full coverage in 2-3 thin coats on its own.
I used one coat over an angled gradient of burgundy and brown. These colors are perfect for the fall/holiday season! I topped it with a matte topcoat so that you can really see all of the glitter in it.

This lovely creme is Evolver, a pastel mint/seafoam green. I used two thin coats with topcoat for my swatch shown below and even stamped with it on my accent nail. It worked fine for stamping but isn't really opaque enough to really tell especially since it's a lighter color as is. Another perfect shade for Spring!
This beautiful black jelly is Fancy Widow, full of silver and gold metallic and holo glitters in different sizes. This was one was of my top 3 favorites in the bunch! If you look closely, you can also see a small amount of tiny blue metallic glitters in it as well. (FYI, once I noticed the issue with Patient Engagement, I pulled this and Placid Village out and tested them to check if they had similar issues with glitter bleeding and they were both perfectly fine.)
I used 2 coats with topcoat.
And of course, here it is with a matte topcoat!
Here in the macro of the mattified version of it you can really see the tiny blue square glitters in it...
Lastly, we have here Hazelnut Sugar Sister, a gorgeous caramel-y pumpkin crelly that is full of gold and copper toned hexies. Upon closer inspection, it looks like there are also micro silver glitters in it as well! The glitters just complement the lovely color of this polish. Another first in my collection, definitely don't own anything else like it. :)

That concludes my review of Evolve! I am including links to where you can find more info on Evolve Indie Polish and purchase yours today. You can also find Evolve Indie Polish on Gloss48's site, where they stock duos from Evolve and other indies as well! A HUGE thank you to Amy for not only sending me these beauties for swatching and reviews, but for being so patient for me to post the blog review! Definitely won't happen again as finals are finally nearing an end and I'll have more time to stay on top of everything. I hope you guys enjoyed the read and I thank you for sticking around. I truly appreciate you all and look forward to seeing you next time!
