More beautiful colors from Literary Lacquers ☼

 

As before, these holographic polishes are from the Community Collection. The series of 10 are blogger collaboration polishes. You can look at the varied collection & the collaborative minds behind each color here: Literary Lacquers

 

Application for both are as follows:
1 coat Nailtiques Formula 2
1 coat Essie Fill The Gap
3 coats Literary Lacquers polish

 

Let's begin with 84, Charing Cross Road. It is described as, "a sepia taupe subtle holographic nail polish loaded with silver glass fleck." As with all hand poured Indie Brands, slight batch variations occur and mine turned out quite mossy green. It has beautiful flashes of purple and gold. This is a perfect Autumn color.

Please to enjoy, Sidewalk's End, described as, " a semi-sheer grey holographic polish with multicolored glass fleck." This beauty has surprising blue/purple glass flecks throughout. It is beautiful indoors as well as outdoors.

Urban Lacquer Chimney Burn with Lit Up Like The Tree

***press sample***

Just in time for the unexpected cold snap in Arizona - from the mid to high 70's during the day to the chilling 40's overnight - I present to you, Urban Lacquer's Chimney Burn. We have already used our Kiva 4 times and plan to buy our tree next week but my fingers are already Lit Up Like The Tree. Couldn't resist the silliness.

Urban Lacquer has a beautiful winter themed collection. The first polish I applied is Chimney Burn which happens to be her first foray into a multichrome. It is a taupey grey with purple/blue/turquoise flecks/flash/shimmer. It can appear purple, orange, blue, grey or any number of colors depending upon which angle you view it at.

I applied 4 thin coats over a base coat and a ridge filler. You must be patient when applying the coats, allowing each to fully dry before applying the next coat. The polish comes alive around the 3rd coat but I needed 4. All images were taken indoors using an OttLite.

I then decided to jazz it up with Lit Up Like The Tree - a killer glittah bomb containing stars, demilunes, circles, squares, hexes and various sizes of microglitter in gold, silver AND holographic finishes swirling around in a clear base. This polish gives Lynn a run for her money. It was so easy to apply. Nothing got caught on the sides of the bottle. Every brush stroke yielded a frenzy of glitter - perfection!

Notice how Chimney Burn really shines through the glitter topper. This is 2 applications of Lit Up Like The Tree over Chimney Burn and 1 coat of HKG top coat to smooth it all out.

I hope you enjoy the final effect. I am now officially ready for the Holidays ☼
