Liquid Lacquer - Swatches and Review

**I purchased these polishes myself, at a discounted rate, in exchange for a full and honest review**

Hey guys! Today I have for you a long overdue review of some wonderful polishes! I purchased the Blogger Review Pack from Liquid Lacquer. How it works is, you get to choose two polishes to review and Melissa chooses two. At $20, I thought it was a great deal, so I was super thrilled when she accepted me!

First, here are the two polishes I chose to review. Her site is down for maintenance at the moment so bear with me for polish descriptions - I'll do my best!

A Calm Does Not Suit Me is a white crelly with assorted sized hexes in shades of blue, gray and periwinkle. I layered 2 coats over Milani White on the Spot, but it can be layered on its own in about 3 coats to reach full opacity.







Next up is Collide Into You. This was the one I was MOST excited about trying. I saw Stephanie's swatches on A Little Polish, and I was sold. These colors together seriously pop! This is 3 easy coats of Collide Into You with no undies! Wonderful formula, and no issues with the glitters either. This one is definitely a winner in my book.



This slightly shimmery teal blue base is SO beautifully bright, pictures don't do it justice. It reminds me of ocean water. And we all know I love dots, so...this is a match made in heaven.





Lastly, the two Melissa chose for me to review. These looked pretty in the bottle, but I wasn't sure if I'd be completely sold on them once I got them on. I was so very wrong! Check out The Rain Song. It's a stunning sky blue with a scattered holographic effect. I still had very, very slight VNL at 3 coats, so I did an extra to be safe, but most people can get away with 3 (unless your nails are as stained as mine are). I wasn't sure if topcoat would dull the holographic effect, so these photos are sans topcoat.





And, last but certainly not least, Dancing Days. It's a berry pink holo that seems like more of a linear holo to me. I'll be honest, I'm not sure how to tell exactly which is which. But this one definitely had a much stronger holographic effect. I was seriously stunned when I got this one in the sun. I think I sat there for a minute just staring. Again, this is 4 coats, no topcoat, but unstained nails can get away with 3 no problem.






Simply amazing! The formula on these two holos was lovely, if not a bit sheer. It gave me no problems, though - went on like butter! :) It dried fast too, so even though I did 4 coats, it took no time at all!

Don't forget to check out Liquid Lacquer on Big Cartel as well as Liquid Lacquer on Facebook!

So, what do you think of these polishes from Liquid Lacquer? Which is your favorite? I'd love to hear below!

  2. I love all the colors! That last purple is such a fantastic shade, and I'm really loving milky shades with glitter like the first one. :-)
