Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer April Showers Collection Reviews & Swatches

Hi everyone! As they say, April showers bring May flowers and that's what Julie, the creator of Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer, had in mind with this collection! Though I wish it would stop raining because I really love all the nice weather we have had, just not the random raining in between. :P 
All of these polishes are creme or crelly mix with an added kick of shimmer. They all had a similar formula, being a tad thick but still easy to work with, and had a quick dry time.

Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer April Showers Collection Nail Art
I tried some geometric nail art with all the polishes from this collection over Dogwood. Sorry for the weird angle, for whatever reason my camera really did not want to pick up this. :/ It looked amazing in person, but my camera just was a brat about it. >_<

This collection will be released on April 27, 2014 at 3:30 pm EDT in Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer's Big Cartel storefront. Currently Idealistic Future and Electric Icicle are available, but will be retired once they sell out so grab them while you can! ;) Make sure to follow Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer on FacebookTwitter,Instagram and make sure to check out her blog and sign up for her newsletter
