Liquid Sky Lacquer: Just Lucky Swatch and Review

Good morning, dear readers, and TGIF! Life in the Jedi household has become a little hectic lately, and I am looking forward to a little bit of down time for myself this weekend. 

As you may or may not already be aware, today marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year and the Chinese New Year. Naturally, I had to show you swatches of Liquid Sky Lacquer's Just Lucky in honor of the occasion. Gold when warm and red when cold, this thermal beauty is fun to wear! My husband refers to me as his favorite furnace so it was only gold on me, but I did have fun dipping my fingers in cold water to get the effect! The formula was quite sheer, and I ended up using four thin coats to hide my nail line. Check this out!

After an ice water dip, I didn't get to see red entirely covering my nails for long

Warm!

Now for the transitional stage spam! I love this look and couldn't pick just one photo. :D 

I had so much fun playing with this polish, and I love the red to gold transition. I think next time I wear it, I'm going to layer it over something so I don't need to use as many coats. I hope that an "undies barrier" will allow me to see more of the red on my nails without having to go into a cold water dip.

Just Lucky and other polishes by Liquid Sky Lacquer can be purchased at the Bigcartel site.

Here's to a prosperous year!

XOXO!

LilypadLacquer Fire Fire Swatch and Review

Good morning, dear readers! I have a gorgeous polish made by Nicole of LilypadLacquer to share with you this morning, and is it awesome! When I first saw a photo of the bright fiery orange holographic polish Fire Fire from the Color My World collection, I knew I just had to have it. Orange polishes have always had a special place in my heart, and I am happy to now have this beauty in my collection. I applied two coats of Fire Fire and followed up with Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat for the following photos. 

The formula of this beauty was superb: not too thick or thin, and the dry time was reasonably quick. Fire Fire doesn't have the intense linear holo like some other polishes on the market, but if you like scattered holos and the colour orange, this polish is one you need to try!

LilypadLacquer is based in Australia, and the polishes are 5 free. Nicole's Etsy shop is scheduled to open on February 1st. Keep an eye on her Facebook page for announcements on colours available (there is going to be a new collection released!) in addition to approximate stock time.
