Cadillacquer Seek the Fire with Stamping

A quick and simple mani today using one of my favourite brands, Cadillacquer.

Cadillacquer polishes are so unique and I love pretty much all of them. They have colour combinations you wouldn't necessarily put together but always look good. My fave indie polish of all time, Masterpiece, is made by Cadillacquer.

Purple Cracked Nail Art

I had a request from Alexia, Creator of Laquerdaisical to do a purple nail art so here it is.
If you would like to request a nail art or have any ideas please contact me

I used one of my new Cadillacquer polishes Easy As Pie. I wanted this polish for so long. In fact I want all Cadillacquer polishes....BUY ALL THE POLISH!

I had no idea what I was doing when I started this nail art lol. I used Nails Supreme pen in white to do the design and then a gradient using OPI Planks Alot and Steady As She Rose with a bit of Easy As Pie on the nail tip.

Easy As Pie applied really well and I got great coverage with 3 thin coats. I prefer to use thinner coats of polish to build up the depth of the glitter.

I still have no idea what this nail art is... Trees? Cracking? Lightning? You decide!

Cadillacquer Haul

NAIL MAIL!! 

This week I finally got some more Cadillacquer polishes!

Cadillacquer was having a 20% off sale for easter so I couldn't resist picking up these beauts!

I did have a very hard time choosing mind you and I was so bloody gutted I missed the Mothers Day trio!  

First up is Easy As Pie, a beautiful purple featuring circle, square, hex and micro glitters. 

I think this is my fave of all the ones I purchased. I have used it for a nail art already!

Sorry for the shit pic!! 

Dollhouse is a nudish browny pinky shade haha! It is also jam packed with glitter but this time silver and pink circles and a silver micro glitter.

I bought So It Begins because I don't have a square glitter polish yet (I don't think lol) This is another purpleish but this lies on the grey side. 

Remember Me is a close second fave. Its a very light blue with hot pink circles and silver micro glitter. I cant wait to use this! 

Its Going To Happen Again is another grey dusky leaning shade. This time though its blue in tone. Another one featuring squares. 

I cant wait to try these polishes out. Cadillacquer are my brand for 2014 for sure. I love the way the polishes build depth and who can forget Masterpiece?!! My favourite polish of all time. 

Do you own any Cadilliacquers?

You can buy them from her store

Keep Breathing Little Fishy

I have wanted to use Keep Breathing by Cadillacquer for so long but for some reason I have overlooked it whenever I pick out my polishes. 

I didn't have a nail art in mind when I started putting this on but then my eyes fell on my poorly goldfish. His tank is directly opposite where I sit to do my nails. He has swim bladder disease and so far is not getting any better. We bought the goldfish as gifts for my son the day before his brother was born (they unfortunately died while I was in labour....oooppss) Two more were swiftly bought and replaced the others before my son had even realised :P 

I feel so sorry for this little guy and what's the best way to cheer a goldfish up? That's right, do a fish themed nail art. 

So here we are. The worst looking fish nail art you have ever seen.....

I'm am actually proud of the reed/plant things and lily pads... 

The fish on my nails looks even more poorly than my fish in real life Ha! 

On the other hand this polish by Cadillacquer is lush a blue with beautiful purple glitter and a micro glitter adds to the shimmer. 

Covers well with two coats :) 

So hopefully I will be able to rescue my fish and not have to send him to the big fish toilet in the sky. 

I am doing the pea thing but we will have to see.... hes not looking to good.

But at least he is forever immortalised in a bad nail art :P

**UPDATE** 

after a very late night and lots of pea feeding he looked to be recovering.... only to pass on to the great lake in the sky the next morning. 

My son still hasn't noticed.

My Harlow Haul 11/04/2014

Oh no..... 

I went on to Harlow & Co and something very strange happened...... 

12 new nail polishes just jumped into my cart and then in my confusion I must have payed for them! 

That's my story and I am sticking to it!!

 Belle Of The Mall, Lottie Dottie,Falling For Hue, You Drive Me Katie 

Make My Gray, Spring Training, Laugh Myself Lily, Chick Me Out, Full Bloom Ahead

I had to get the new KBShimmer Spring Collection on the restock as I missed them all the first time around. I also picked out a few others. Spring Training is even scented!

She Had A Lipstick Taser 

I had to have the Glam Polish as I haven't tried them before and they are discounted as the new bottle shape has been released (I have the old shape) 

Serendipity

I had to have the Cadillacquer because I bloody love Cadillacquers. I wanted another shade too called Easy As Pie but it was sold out :( 

Snow In Love 

I had to get the Serum no 5 as its a crelly and glows in the dark. I already have Atomic Peach and that glows so strongly I knew I had to give this one a try! 

I love it when I get nail mail. My eldest, who is three, was screaming NAIL MAIL and getting so excited! 

What do you think of my haul? Do you already own any of these? 

Which one should I use first? 

Cadillacquer Masterpiece

I have been lusting after this polish for months and finally its mine! Masterpiece is finally MINE!

If you are not a polish enthusiast...thats what I have decided to call myself by the way an "enthusiast" ... It makes me sound all dignified like I collect stamps or something LOL! 

Anyway if you are not a polish enthusiast I cannot begin to describe how it feels when you finally get THAT polish. One you have watching, waiting and looking at swatches of for months and months... 

When it finally lands in your hands its such a good feeling! 

I always worry that when I then do get it and use it I wont love it as much and it'll be a bit disappointing. 

This is NOT one of those times. I actually dont ever want to take this polish off 

**runs and chucks all other polish out the window**

This to me is the right shade of green and the red... OH THE RED.... Cadillacquer describes it as hot orange glitter on the website but it is red to me. The glitter suspends so well in the jelly formula that the top layer of glitter looks 3D. I'm not shitting you it like stands out. I have never seen this in another polish. ITS LIKE WIZARDRY! 

I used three coats and one coat of topcoat in the pics. The formula is perfect I think as if you used less coats it wouldn't build up that lovely 3D effect.

I am a MASSIVE fan of Dexter. I mean look at Micheal C Hall. I have always loved him. Even when he was on Six Feet Under. 

In fact my son is even called Dexter LOL! #

This polish is very reminiscent of Dexter to me. The red glitter just looks so much like blood splatter. Blood splatter in a good way of course! 

Masterpiece is indeed a masterpiece to me.

I also purchased Seek the Fire at the same time as this one so I hope to have time to try that one out soon and I STILL have some others from the Dexter Collection to show you, Man I am so far behind!

So what do you think? 

Cadillacquer Slice Of Life

I have been wanting to try this polish for so long. 

I LOVE Dexter so when I saw a collection based on the tv series i had to have it. 

Unfortunaly Masterpiece was out of stock when I bought this so I am still on the look out for it!  

This is also my first lot of Cadillacquer polishes! 

I was sent some lovely water decals from Sparkly Nails and i thought these two would go so nicely together! It reminds me of Chinese New Year! 

This polish has the prettiest blue shimmer. It really looks so lovely in the sunlight! 

Something you definitely couldn't find in a high street polish 

Here is three coats with Seche Vite topcoat. 

The shimmer has no texture at all so one coat of topcoat is fine. 

The only thing is that this polish is quite sheer so you can still see my smile line. I personally don't like that so next time i think i will layer it over a red so then i only have to use a couple coats.

The shimmer in this polish is really really pretty and I think this is my new fave red!

Its bright too! 

You can find Cadillacquer HERE and Sparkly Nails decals HERE 

What do you think of this polish? Are you a fan of Dexter? 

Some of these products were sent as a press sample for my honest review. Please see my disclosure for details
