Literary Lacquers 84, Charing Cross Road and Sidewalk's End

***press sample***
 
 
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.

The shop (located on Etsy) is long overdue for a price increase so if you love these colors, or all the others for that matter, I suggest you hop to it NOW! Go take a look. Her newest collection has some stunners ☼

Butter London Jack the Lad

Featured is a fantastic gift from my friend Jammies at Baubles & Bubbles. Can you believe she would part with this incredible color?? She knows my love of green polish and is so thoughtful. I am grateful to her for my very first Butter London nail polish, Jack the Lad.  Official description: opaque, moss green shimmer with gold, turquoise and green microglitter.

I have applied 2 coats of Jack the Lad. Application was a dream. The polish is very complex and multifaceted. I particularly love the turquoise accents in the deep mossy green base. Gorgeous.

The pictures were taken indoors under an OttLite. Enjoy.
