Delightful Handmade Lacquers Review Part 2

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting in awhile -- this past week I was in California on spring break! I'm back now and miss it already, but I'm happy to be back to the ol' blog :)

Today I have part 2 of my review on Delightful Handmade Lacquers! We've got some pretty holos today, and as always I must say -- yay holo!

L to R, top to bottom: Lucky Clover,Karat Cake, Oasis
  
Oasis is a light sky blue holo. Honestly I struggle a bit in identifying some scatters vs. linears, but I think it is scattered? Not super unique but very pretty! This one was a little different in texture than most of the others -- a little frostier maybe. Still, fairly nice application.

On my nails:
(middle finger only) 1 coat Nfu Oh Aqua Base coat
2 coats Delightful Handmade Lacquers Oasis
(pinky only) OPI Topcoat

Don't believe the aqua base made much of a difference on these polishes, so I didn't use it for long -- did do the top coat for all of them though! You will see it makes a difference in shine more on some, but I don't think it diminished holo much.

Karat Cake is a burnt orange holo. This one I struggled with on application a bit, but when I went back and tried again it was not as bad -- it was the first of the bunch I tried though, so maybe I just had to get used to it? This seems quite different in finish to the rest as well, a little chrome or metallic maybe. This seems like a nice fall color -- I prefer brighter oranges personally, but you might like this if you like the darker ones.

On my nails:
(middle finger only) 1 coat Nfu Oh Aqua Base coat
3 coats Delightful Handmade Lacquers Karat Cake
(pinky only) OPI Topcoat

Like I said I struggled a bit with application initially hence 3 coats, but when I tried again 2 seemed fine :)

Lucky Clover is last for today; it's a blue-toned emerald green holo. Super pretty, I love this one! It dries a bit matte -- not actually matte, but not glossy, so you can definitely tell there is topcoat only on my pinky. Of course, with polishes like this one how can I not continue to obsess over green polish :)

On my nails:
(middle finger only) 1 coat Nfu Oh Aqua Base coat
2 coats Delightful Handmade Lacquers Lucky Clover
(pinky only) OPI Topcoat

It had quite nice application too -- this and the rest of the holos (that will be featured in my next post) all had unusually smooth, even, easy application. They remind me of Catherine Arley holos in terms of that application, if that helps at all :) Really love them!

Some very nice colors here! I just adore Lucky Clover -- ended up wearing it for several days, throwing a matte topcoat over it, and wearing it for a couple more days after that -- crazy long mani for me!

Look forward to the rest of the pretties tomorrow!
