The formula for this is fantastic. You could literally do one thicker coat and it would cover completely although I used two thin coats and no topcoat for my photos. This polish is smooth without topcoat, the glitter doesn't make the polish bumpy at all!

Look at this glitter!!! In the sun or direct light this polish really comes into its own.  This is not just any black polish!

Yume Lacquer Rainbow Heart Review, Swatches and Nail Art!

PRESS SAMPLE 
Today I have my last Yume Lacquer to show you. I have saved my favourite polish until last.

Rainbow Heart is described as "A medium rosy pink with a slight golden shimmer and holographic microglitter" on Yumelacquer.com and I couldn't have  described it better myself, LOL. It is part of the Moon Defender Collection and is inspired by Sailor Moon. 

This polish isn't unlike Pink Lady, you can see my review HERE, but I would say the main difference is that Pink Lady is verging on neon but this is much more of a rosy muted pink shade. I absolutely adore it! 

These photos show two thick coats with top coat.

Life in Laquerdaisical Tri-Thermal Review and Swatches

Today I have something very new and fun to show you! 

Okay a little background information first.... Alexia owns and runs Laquerdaisical. Alexia is a lovely lady who I message all my insane nail ideas too! I sometimes think about a polish I would love and then I got to Alexia to see if it is possible.... Turns out this one was.


Alexia decided to call this polish Life in Laquerdaisical as I helped with the basic idea. How cool is that! 

Okay so I have always loved thermals. I wanted more from thermals! And I had see some other brands doing a tri thermal thing so I took the idea to Alexia. 

Here's what she came up with! 







A blue that turns to a greeny blue that then turns to a dark purple!! It also features a pretty silver glitter.
This is four thin coats and no top coat.
This polish is smooth without topcoat. 
Okay so I couldn't photograph this for the life of me!! I can assure you I can see the blue to green blue change in real life. It is subtle mind you but its there. 
The purple comes up when you are really cold.... So its a nice surprise every now and then! 

This used to look so much better on my longer nails :( BOO to breakages! 

One thing I will mention is that I found the formula thicker than normal but Alexia has said she plans to change that on the new batch :) 
This polish and so many other BEAUTIFUL polishes are available from Laquerdaisicals new website!

This polish was sent to me for review. All opinions are honest and my own!

Polar Vortex by MDJ Creations

Today we have a brand spanking, hot of the press new polish by MDJ Creations. 

Polar Vortex is the second polish in the North Pole collection. 
The other is Arctic Night (review and swatches HERE)




This is a beautiful mix of glitters and shards of glitter, that look just like shards of broken mirror! They really do catch the light.

This is far more sheer than Arctic Night. I used three coats below. 


So I decided to use it over Essie's Avenue Maintain. This is two coats of Polar Vortex with two topcoats to smooth it all out. 


I then decided to do a bit of art. I used four different polishes to create a sort of polar vortex lol.
Okay so it doesn't look much like a swirl but I still quite like it. 
Its the trying that counts right?!
This is a great polish and as it is quite sheer it can be layer over a wide range of other polishes. 

This and all the other MDJ Creations polishes are available HERE

Laquerdiasiccal Boulder Dot Dot Dash Swatch and Review

Here today we have another Laquerdaisical polish for ya! 

Its called Boulder Dot Dot Dash.
Alexia, the creator of Laquerdaisical, described this as a pale grey jelly with multicoloured matte glitters. 

I could see the tinted base in the bottle but couldn't notice on the nail so I have included pictures without undies (base colour) and with undies. 



 (look at that little squiggly glitter on my index nail, love it!)



As with all Laquerdaisical polishes I have tried this applies fantastically. Has a great amount of glitter. 
The pictures above are 2 coats with no topcoat. 

The colour of the glitter are so bright and remind me of the 80's!
Not that I was alive then but you get me!

Here it is layered over Color Club Silver Lake. 






I mean freaking look at this! 
I LOVE IT! 
I showed my husband and he said "wow, that IS good" 
That right there is the best recommendation a polish can have! 

I can imagine this used in loads of ways. Layered up with jellys or used in a glitter fade.

What do you think? What other colours do you think would love lovely with this polish? 


You can purchase this and many other handmade polishes from Laquerdaisical's Facebook Page
