Dandy Nails Colorblind

Happy Wednesday! This week seems to be going so quickly! Today I have an indie brand that is new to this blog... Dandy Nails!

The polish I am showing today is called Colorblind. I also picked up another Dandy Nails polish when I bought Colorblind, but I am saving that one for a later date. :)


For this swatch I have layered it over three coats of China Glaze Rose Among Thorns.

As you all probably know, there are lots of black and white glitter topcoats in the market right now. In fact, I have started putting together a list so I can hunt them down and own them all! But this one is an interesting departure from the usual mix -- the glitter sizes are completely uniform in this polish. The final effect is really gorgeous due to that, I think. I love me a good bit of uniformity.


Applying this polish was a little bit tricky. The glitter in Colorblind isn't super dense, so it did take a little bit of blobbing to get enough glitter on the nail to cover it. Then, once the glitter had been blobbed, I definitely did have to do a bit of pushing around. This led to a few nails with bubbling, but it was hardly noticeable in person.


I purchased Colorblind from DandyNails on Etsy. It retails for $8.00 for a 15mL bottle. It is currently out of stock in the shop, but keep an eye out for a restock sometime this week! The shop has a lot of other interesting polishes, too, so make sure to browse around while you are there.

  13. I'm with you. For a black and white combo the uniformity makes it look more sophisticated. Layered over that red it reminds me of the ladybug mani I just did. Thanks for introducing us to another fab indy polish line!

  15. I felt -almost- tired of seeing black and white glitter but this one's definitely special. I'm a fan of the uniform glitter size too. This polish looks great over that red but I think it would look super pretty in a glitter sandwich! :)
