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
