Yume Lacquer Pink Lady Swatch and Review

PRESS SAMPLE

Hi my lovelies. I haven't blogged in what feels like forever but it in fact has only been a few days. Things are moving in a tiring slow motion here. An endless round of school runs and naughty boys.

Anyway.... I have Yume Lacquer on the blog again today, you may remember some swatches from a while back, You can see them here, here, here and finally here

Yume Lacquer is a about as geeky as they come, in the polish world that is! And that sure isn't a bad thing! Amanda, the creator of Yume Lacquer, bases her polishes on anime and manga. 
Today we have Pink Lady. a salmon pink shade which is bordering on neon. It has micro holographic glitter. 
This polish is inspired by Chibi Usa/ Sailor Chibimoon and comes from the Moonlight Defender collection.

I added some brand related art, in a Tips and Topcoat style but obviously not as good! I need to get more brush practice in.

Yume Lacquer Let's Positive Thinking Swatch and Review

FINALLY I have finished all my crochet orders so I am now on full speed ahead catching up on the old blogging!!

Today I have, what I can only describe as, a grown up polish! This polish makes me feel so grown up and elegant.
 Plus I love the way it looks on my nails. 
I think it really suits me :)

Without further ado this is Let's Positive Thinking by Yume lacquer.



Bottle shot ^^




Its a chestnutty yummy warm brown with a purply pink micro glitter. Look at how grown up and elegant it makes me lol! 
The formula is great, two coats shown here with topcoat. 
The glitter isnt grainy or anything so thats great too. 

I love this. REALLY love it! If I had to go and be taken seriously somewhere this would be the polish I would wear.

What do you all think?? 


Yume Lacquer is available through ETSY and go and show some love on her FACEBOOK and say I sent ya :P

Yume Lacquer On My Honour

Oh man.... SPARKLES!!! 

This polish has been killing me! It has been so hard to capture the true beauty of this polish. 
Sooo I have used many different lights to try and get the right images. Please ignore hand colourings, I assure you that the polish is as correct as I can get it.

On My Honour is a gold/rose duochrome coloured polish that is basically made up of micro glitter. Amanda from Yume Lacquer also says it can be layered over black and it looks more purple. I am going to have to give that a go for sure. 
This polish is inspired by Catelyn Stark from the television series and book, Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire.

I used 3 coats for these pics and one coat of Seche Vite. It only needs one coat for smoothness! WIN! 









Okay so like I said ignore silly weird coloured fingers but LOOK AT THAT POLISH!!! 
Its like it GLOWS..... 
The glitter pigments aren't as noticeable when you look at it normally its only because we are real up close! 

So what do you all think? I <3 this!! 

Yume Lacquer is available from HERE and Amanda does ship to the UK :)

Yume Lacquer Mystic and Courageous Thunder

Hello all!! 

Its been a long week already and its only Tuesday! ARG! 
My son has caught the flu thing I had so now hes super sick :( 
and I am snowed under with crochet, man I sound like an old biddie.... ON WITH THE POLISH! 

I have two green based polishes from Yume Lacquer today for ya. Yume Lacquer has of course been on the blog before HERE. 

First up is Mystic inspired by Final Fantasy 4, this beaut features gold glitter and gold stars. 





This is super sparkly in real life and not really as bright as it come across in these photos.Its more muted. More of a moss green.

I had a few problems with the application of this polish. Its just too thick for me and because of this its hard to get a nice clean look. 
The stars of course also pose a problem and I do find this with most big glitter polishes. They are hard to get an even distribution (ring finger has like one and middle finger has like a million) and of course they dont lie flat. This doesn't really bother me to much but I know some people really hate that and will pick at anything that sticks up. 
BUT saying all that its still a lovely polish. 
Pictured with two coats with two coats of top coat. 



And last up (tonight that is,I still have 2 more for ya very soon) is Courageous Thunder inspired by Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon 
I am really sorry but the name of this polish makes me think of some sort of mega wind passing episode! Im such a bloke sometimes!
This is a lush green with a purple micro glitter pigment. I love this! 

See^^ PURPLE! 


I found it so hard to capture the purple shimmer on my camera. But let me assure you it can be seen in real life. 
I really like this shade of green and I really think it suits me! The polish comes across as metallic but it isn't in real life at all, man this was a hard polish to photograph!! 
This was again two coats but only needed one coat of topcoat. It was not gritty at all. 

So theres you have it folks! Which one is your favourite so far? 
To see these and other nail polishes from Yume Lacquer please pop on over to ETSY!



These polishes were sent to me for my honest review.

Yume Lacquer Flame Warrior


 That's right I'm back from the dead! 

Well not literally but that's the way it bloody felt! 
For the second time this year I have been struck down by flu! 

I hate flu. I mean who doesn't? 
The only goo thing abut flu is that i am now 8lb lighter and closer to my weight loss goal! RESULT! 


Yume Lacquer sent me some lovely polishes to review and they have been sat on the top of my Helmer for what seems like forever so tonight I bring you

FLAME WARRIOR






All the polishes from Yume Lacquer are based on game or comic characters. This one is based on Sailor Mars from Sailor Moon.

This one is a strange one. I expected to be red red but its like a darker plum red. 

It features a purple micro glitter which catches the light and is noticeable. 
It actually dries matte so I used one coat of topcoat for the pics here. I think one more coat of topcoat would have made this even nicer. 
The application of this is great, 2 standard coats in these pics. 

I think this is one of those polishes that you wouldn't be able to get on the high street and I love that not all indie look alike, although some are starting too...


So what do you think of this Yume Lacquer? I have 4 more to show you soon......

Please check out their ETSY store and FACEBOOK Page and show some Life in Lacquer love <3
