Initial Lacquer A Day at the Lake, Montana at Midnight and Wisterious Reviews & Swatches

Afternoon everyone! Hopefully the weather near you is better than the weather near me! :P It's been yucky and rainy here which has caused my allergies to act up, so I'm moving a bit slower than usual. I have 3 new colors from Initial lacquer (and a surprise to follow this post) to share with you today. Something super fun about these polishes is I helped Iris, the creator of Initial Lacquer, name them . :)

Press Sample

A Day at the Lake contains light green, yellow, pink and glitters in various shapes and sizes in a gray/blue jelly base. I used 3 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.

Out of the bunch this has the most unique glitter and base color combination and I mean that in a good way! The base is something like I haven't seen before and the glitters Iris used aren't something I would have thought to put together. In the end they all just work together! Formula was a bit thick, though workable, and I had no problem getting out glitter or with dry time.

Montana at Midnight is a deep blue with a blue shimmer. All nails are 2 coat with no top coat.

Eep this color is stunning! There are 2 awesome points I need to make about. ;) 1) It's not too much of a dark blue that it looks black in low light. You can tell it's a darker blue in lower lighting and it really lights up in the sunlight! 2) I was brave and wore this without a base coat for a few hours to see if it would stain and it doesn't! Now I can't say if you wear it for a week it won't, but usually in a few hours I will have staining on blue polishes similar to this. Formula was just as great as the color it's self- perfect!

Wisterious is a light periwinkle with silver shimmer.

Another stunning creme with added shimmer. While I didn't get a chance to try it out (sorry allergies are being jerks :( ), I think this would be a perfect base color to Initial Lacquer Ice Cube. It's a beautiful pastel and something else Initial Lacquer has whipped up that is perfect spring. Formula and application was a breeze.

I'm not sure when these colors are set to be released, but if you hang around for a few minutes I have a giveaway following this post! Initial Lacquer can be purchased through Etsy. Make sure to follow Initial Lacquer on Facebook and Tumblr to stay updated on new colors coming out and restock information.

Silly Bee's Chickadees Diamond Deb and Velvet Violet Reviews & Swatches

Hi everyone! I have 2 new shades from Silly Bee's Chickadees to share with you today! These 2 polishes were inspired by Melissa's, the creator of Silly Bee's Chickadees, sorority Alpha Delta Pi. As I'm told today is Founders' Day for Alpha Delta Pi, so happy Founders' Day to any ladies apart of Alpha Delta Pi!

Press Sample

Diamond Deb has a clear base with pale blue, white and silver hex and diamond glitter. Here I layered 1 coat of Diamond Deb over 2 coats of Velvet Violet with a top coat of Seche Vite.

You will definitely shine like a diamond with this polish on! All of the glitters go perfectly together and the diamonds add a nice extra kick to the over all look. Formula was problem free and as you can see you get plenty of glitter in just one coat!

Velvet Violet is a deep purple "crelly" with a suede finish. All nails are 2 coats with no top coat. 

Normally I can't comment on how a polish holds up because I never wear it long enough to know, but I can for this one! The 2 above photos are the actual state of this polish after 2 days! I've been doing some spring cleaning and haven't had much time to swatch, but as soon as I got this polish in the mail I put it on and have been too busy to take it off. For this polish to last through all I've done in the last few days and not have a top coat and to have a matte finish say a lot! I love the color, it is purple so I think that's a given, and formula (and wear time) were perfection. :)

Velvet Violet also has a shimmer that comes to life when you add a top coat! ;) 

The First and Finest Collection will be released through Silly Bee's Chickadees Etsy store today at 7 PM CST. 25% of the proceeds from First and Finest will go to the Houston Alpha Delta Pi Alumne Altruistic Association which not only supports the Ronald McDonald House, but several other Houston area charities. 
Also, if you order within the month of May and receive a party favor bag containing a surprise discount code!

Liquid Sky Lacquer Sugared Berries

I've gotten a little backlogged with photos, so it's time to catch up! ;) I have a quick post today featuring a newer brand, Liquid Sky Lacquer; who is quickly becoming hot on the scene with some gorgeous polishes!  

 Sugared Berries is lilac holographic. I used 2 coats and no top coat.

 The holographic finish is stronger than my swatches want to show off. My camera was just in a mood I guess >_< The color is a beautiful soft color and perfect for spring! Formula was just as amazing as the color. ;)

Currently this color is in stock on Liquid Sky Lacquer's online store. Make sure to follow Liquid Sky Lacquer on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
