Liquid Lacquer Review Post!

*Some of the polishes in this post were provided to me for my honest review, others were purchased with my own money*

Hey all! I have some seriously great polishes to show you today. They're from the wonderful Liquid Lacquer,  and I am so excited to show them to you all!

A Calm Does Not Suit Me

Uhm, hi, how great is this one? It reminds me of snow, which is great when I'm dying of the humidity in Jersey. ACDNSM is a gorgeous polish, and it was opaque in 2 coats on me! I love the way the glitters look like they're floating in the whtie crelly base. And such a good choice on the glitter colors, it's not a crazy rainbow jumble, and it goes so well all together.

Formula: great! Lots of glitter on the nail, covered VNL easily.

Collide into You

CiY took me 3 thin coats, but so worth it! This is on its own, and I am obsessed with the magenta circles with this shade of turquoise! I also really love how this shade looks on me, so it was a definite winner.

Formula: good! Glitter was easy to get onto nail, not too thick base.

Damn It's Cold over Essie Boxer Shorts

This glitter is in a clear base, so I put it over Boxer Shorts. This polish, to me, reminds me of  ACDNSM, just not in a crelly base. Like it's the same color family, but you can put it over anything:] I saw a swatch of it over dark blue, over at A Little Polish... loooove!

Formula: good amount of glitter with one coat!

Hydra over Sally Hansen Ion

Yes yes yes. This is all sorts of perfect! And probably my favorite glitter topper I have in my collection. I'm obsessed with the color combinations on this one! The different shaped mint and grey glitters are so subtly beautiful together! I wore this mani twice in two weeks, I loved how it looked on the nail. Also the stars? Perfect.

Formula: good! easy to get  smaller glitters on nail, a tiny bit of fishing to get stars.

Kissing on the Rooftop over OPI Funny Bunny

Okay, all the yellowy or orangey parts you see there? Ignore them and imagine them as iridescent glitter. Makes the whole mani a zillion times better, trust me. 

Formula: also great, not hard to get stars, iridescent glitters are abundant in one coat.

Quarter Life Crisis over China Glaze Keep Calm, Paint On

Love the circles so much in this, and the color combination is really fun for spring and summer!

Formula: eh, not as good as hoped, just wish there was more glitter in the base, had to do some digging and placing here.

Rain Song

Stunninggggggggggg. You need this. Right now. I LOVE unexpected holo colors and this is in my top 5 holos. The effect is definitely more linear IRL, trust me. And the shade is gorrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous. Get it. Now.

Formula: great! Two coats, and good to go.

In conclusion- just trust me and get Rain Song and Hydra, because I love them too much. It's not even funny. Totally great polishes, great customer service, and fast shipping. Definitely go check out Liquid Lacquer! I can't wait to place another order. I'm definitely in need of more holos from her!

Some LynBDesigns Polishes!

*Polishes in post were provided for my honest review*

Hey all! I have some really fun polishes from LynBDesigns from her Twitterpatted collection. Just a note on formula: all of these polishes had a smooth formula with no difficulty of getting nice sparkle on the nail. All were sheer, and so I have some layering options for you below:] 4 coats on index finger for all of these pictures, then one coat over differing base colors for my middle to pinky nails.

Dharma: Alone, over OPI You Only Live Twice, Orly Wild Wisteria, and CG Snap My Dragon. 

This was a super fun color! I've been really into pinks lately and this has some gorgeous blue shimmer running through it. I loved it over the OPI, it took the polish to the next level.

Verna: Alone, over Revlon Royal, SH Breezy Blue, Zoya Natty

Okay, I think Verna over Royal is amazing, but I also loved it over the light blue! Very pretty!! Like 

Harriet: alone, over BL The Old Bill, OPI My Vampire is Buff, Cult Nails Bitten.

Favorite look: alone! It's such a complex shimmer this has going on, and I really liked it with my skin tone. A huge huge fan of this one!

Millie: alone, over Essie Where's my Chauffeur?, Revlon  Velvet Rope, CG Manhunt

Stella: alone, over Essie Where's my Chauffeur?, Revlon  Velvet Rope, CG Manhunt

Okay, these two clearly can't be worn alone, but I LOVE THEM. These are my favorites of the collection! They're just both really delicate and sparkly without being overbearing and just..ahh. Yes. They're both so pretty over WMC? !!

PS Please check out my blog sale here ! Some ass broke off my passenger mirror on my car and I'm selling my excess polishes to pay for it. Thank you!!!

Not Too Polished Review

Hello all! First things first, Irina from Gilded Feathers guessed it right, the polish was Winterfell from Not Too Polished! So Irina, if you see this, email me at sarahsnailblog@gmail.com please:]

Onto the review! There's a lot of pictures in this post, but seriously, you need to see them. Before I start, I need to say that all of these has an amazing formula. All were 2 coats with the exception of Tonks, which was a 3 coater] and Wolfsbane [a glitter topcoat]. My jaw dropped multiple times when swatching these. I kept being impressed over and over again with every nail I painted. Really great formula and the colors were also just great. There were some in here that I took a chance on liking, and I am SO glad I did. I love all of these, they literally are all a hit. And

Dragonstone

So, while there's a lot of versions of red-glitter-in-black-base polishes, I'm a big fan of this for a lot of reasons. First, you get a LOT of glitter. Clearly a big fan of that! And second, this is completely opaque in 2 coats. So it wins in my book :]

Winterfell

!!This polish is named after the House Stark in the Song of Ice and Fire series/Game of Thrones show. And really, look how perfectly this captures the winter-y feel! I can't stop staring at the layers of glitter in this, those white glitters looks just like snow falling. And the shimmer looks just like frost. It's just so.. wow.

Granger

Red and gold makes one of my favorite combinations. And this is really well done! The red is a little more raspberry than straight red and the glitter is so reflective and really holo-y in person. Also, Harry Potter. I had to get it. I want a Ron and a Harry inspired polish!!

Liquify

This is the only non-glitter I got this time. It's a great blue [with some grey thrown in] jelly-creme. And SO shiny. The formula was so even and went on really smoothly. I love the colors in this collection, I had such a hard time choosing one. I'll definitely need to pick up Dessicate, Flesh, Bone, and Blood soon.

Pyke

Black and gold also holds a place in my heart. And look at this! It's just so shiny IRL, I died. The glitter is really similar to the glitter in Granger, really holo and reflective. Another win!

White Rabbit

!!!

New favorite grey. I love love love the glitter in this base color, it is amazing. And perfect in 2 coats, which is really great for a light polish like this. This is probably my favorite out of the bunch, which was such a hard decision to make. Also, I really love Alice in Wonderland. I wrote my senior paper about it in high school!

Skeeter

Okay, so bubblegum pink is not usually my thing. BUT... I love this one too. The shade of pink just makes me happy and the contrasting color of the glitter really just works so well. And I'm a fan of the shimmer in here, it's really pretty.

Tonks

The shimmer in this is so complex and gorgeous. Just look at how many colors there are in there! This was the only one of these that needed more than 2 coats, I have 3 coats on here. I want to try this over a light yellow creme and see if I can preserve the polish that way.

Wolfsbane

This is over a really pale pink and I love the combination of colors here. Eee, look at how great those colors look together. The white and yellow and brown really work and feel so fall-y. I feel like any more gushing would just be redundant, so I'll stop here :]

Can you tell how much I love these? I am so happy with these choices and the polishes are really stunning. I was so excited putting these on and I truly loved wearing them. If you haven't gone over to Not Too Polished's Etsy, you NEED to. I really think this is one of my favorite Etsy shops.

Shimmahhh: Part 2

Here's the rest of my shimmers for you! :] Same deal, pictures first, talk later.

Rochelle

2 coats alone

LtoR: Revlon Velvet Rope, Revlon Runway Pearl, OPI Steady as She Rose, Revlon Royal

Tracy

2 coats

LtoR: SH Barely Bluebell, Revlon Royal, Revlon Runway Pearl, Joe Fresh Moss

Like the last Shimmer post, these polishes all had an amazing formula. There was so much glitter packed in there! I was amazed. And again, really smooth application, no issues there. I wasn't expecting Rochelle to have a tinted base. This wasn't at all a bad thing, just a surprise.
