My Life In Lacquer, My Custom Polish!




 Today I received my own custom made indie polish by TarasTalons!!
I have been waiting by my front door for this polish and I am so happy with the result. 
I really wanted a bright glitter and I knew I wanted lots of different sizes of glitter. 
 I really like the coverage of this polish but I think it would be easier to apply with a wider brush,but Tara doesn't usually make polish with such big pieces so i cant expect her to stock a new bottle just for me :P 

This has a FANTASTIC amount of glitter in and this is only ONE slightly thicker coat of polish!

 I did want the base clear but the pink neon hex glitter did turn the suspension base slightly pink, Although i actually really like the base colour and i cant see it makes a huge noticeable difference:P

 I wanted to show the glitter over black and white and over a few differnt colours and I just love them all! 
It would work really well as just a feature nail or even as a whole mani. Very summery and bright and i think this is also very on trend as i have seen a lot of neon's and glitters this year!


I chose to call this "My Life in Lacquer" as I wanted a polish and a name very personal to me and theres nothing more personal than a blog (well maybe a couple things, *wink*)



 I think my fave out of these is the blue or the green. I love an excuse to have multi coloured nails though!! 
I used Barry M Matte White and Black for the first pics 
I used Barry M Bright Purple,Lemon Ice Cream, Blueberry Ice Cream and Sinful Colors Pistache. 


All these pics have ONE thicker coat of My Life In Lacquer over 2 Coats of underneath colour. No top coat.

Panda Skulls!


 These are the decals that were sent to me by Nail Delights. 
I chose to do a gradient using Sinful Colors Pistache and OPI's Don't Mess With OPI.
I Also used Kleancolors Peaceful Heart as the glitter. 
It was hard to get enough glitter for the effect that I wanted so this is about 3 coats. The problem i fine with Kleancolor glitters is that they don't self level so they leave an uneven finish. They remain silky and shiny to the touch but you can feel that they are not even. 

I love this panda design and i havent seen a decal like this before now. I chose to do green as it reminded me of bamboo. I also like the way the fade is subtle.
You can get the Decals HERE
