Vivid Lacquer Swatches... Fairies Everywhere!

Hey lovelies! Quick swatch post tonight. I ordered some Vivid Lacquer polishes during the Black Friday sale, and I got two free minis with my order! I wanted to share swatches of two of the polishes I got. One of the minis was called Fairy Tale, and it's a medium grey jelly with a scattered holo effect.




This polish was pretty sheer. If I were to do it again, I would definitely layer this one over a grey or even white or black. It took about 4 coats to get it this opaque, partially because of my stained nails.

Speaking of stained nails, they also gave me trouble with this next polish - the amazing Fairy Bread!! This polish is absolutely gorgeous, and I got SO many compliments on it. It's a white base full of hexes in all different colors and sizes. The following swatches show 4 coats of Fairy Bread with Seche Vite topcoat.




See my gross yellow nail line showing through?? It drove me nuts! This polish could have been wearable in 3 or maybe even 2 coats if my nails weren't so badly stained. Next time I'll use a base coat of white to conserve polish. I've tried EVERYTHING to whiten my nails - I have a review planned soon of a new whitening product I found at Walmart, so stay tuned! :)

What do you think of these two? What Vivid Lacquer polishes do you own? I'd love to hear below! <3
