Today I have another beautiful indie to show you courtesy of Lesley. We were all laughing about how she chose this “birdy” brand even though she knows how much I hate birds. I’m glad that she introduced me to CrowsToes because this brand has some seriously gorgeous polishes. She also got me Tiki Torch which is one spicy tamale. It’s so beautiful and just glows from within. Since it’s getting late and I’m scheduling this post in advance (it’s almost midnight), I am playing “Me and My Broken Heart” and have decided to have this post finished by the time the song ends. HURRY UP, HURRY UP!!! Anyway, let me show you my swatches.
CrowsToes Milquetoast is a creamy jelly polish full of coppery glitter in various sizes. Normally, I cringe when I use some of these milky-based polishes because it takes 10,000 coats to get the desired look, but this one was surprisingly opaque. I applied 3 thin coats and that was enough to get good coverage. You have to be sure that each coat is dry before you apply the next if you want to avoid a messy situation.
So what do you think about this beauty? Do you have any recommendation for other CrowsToes beauties? You may notice that most of the indies I do have have been gifts from my awesome friends (since we usually do birthday polish exchanges and stuff), but I do want to feature more indies. If you have recommendations, please share them with me. Just take note that I will not deal with restock drama and all that. Haha…drama about nail polish. Oh, silly rabbit, trix are for kids. Anyway, I hope you have a good day–the weekend is almost here!!! Thanks for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon.
Oh, hey. Here is Me and My Broken Heart. Enjoy. (Is this a rip off of Lonely No More by Rob Thomas?)
wow I love this one! there’s something about cream and gold together.

I agree with Craftynail, cream and gold’s a winner for me – classy.
I find hard-core dance/trance helps me work faster 😉
I love the pale, pale pink with the coppery gold glitters.
And fun fact about “Me and My Broken Heart,” Rob Thomas was actually a co-writer on the track!

I love crows and that polish. I need to check this brand out!
I love Milquetoast and I have been eying over CrowsToes polishes for quite sometime now. You just might have made that last little push. 🙂 Beautiful swatches just as every time.
This is so pretty! I love it on you! I had two CrowsToes on the blog yesterday that you should check out, they’re insanely pretty. I also love LynBDesigns – she has some really great polishes.

I was so intent on finding a brand you didn’t have unlimited access to that I completely overlooked the bird aversion, lol. I am still proud of myself for achieving that goal, so I regret nothing, lol.
I picked this one because I thought the copper glitter was unique. I’m glad to hear it wasn’t a pain in the arse. It looks like a candidate for sneaky office wear, eh? 😉
Hear, hear on avoiding re-stock drama and all of that. I also refuse to deal with that shit….I don’t care if I miss out on cool brands because of it, I really don’t.
It does kinda sound like Lonely No More, but it sounds even more like Maroon 5 to me.
OMG YES!!!!!!! Before I knew who sang this, I was thinking: “Damn, I love Maroon 5!! They are always coming out with such catchy songs.” Then I googled it and was like who is Rixton??? hahahaha Still, I love this song, and it’s going to be my new karaoke staple.
You really chose some amazing polishes for me. Thank you! <3
