Lush Lacquer Neon Glitters - Haywire, I Lost My Marbles, and Clowning Around

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a few days, I have so many projects and tests going on right now, I'm doing good to even paint my nails at all -- and I've got some pretty manis to share, as soon as I get a chance to post them all! :) Today I have the other half of the Lush Lacquer neon glitters, and they are all just as pretty as the first three! And I will be giving these away -- check the bottom of this post for info, and the next post for the actual giveaway, hurray! :)

L to R, top to bottom: Haywire, I Lost My Marbles, Clowning Around

Haywire is a white crelly base with rainbow hexes in various sizes and short blue and orange bar glitters. It's probably no surprise to anyone (including myself) that this is my favorite of these three -- love those white-based polishes! Application is the same as the first three; nice coverage and glitter spread; 2 coats is mostly good but 3 helps to avoid any possible bald spots.

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
3 coats Lush Lacquer Haywire
2 coats KB Shimmer Clearly On Top

I Lost My Marbles is a baby pink crelly base with rainbow glitter in various sizes of hexes. Very cute! I don't really love the way baby pink looks on my skin sometimes, but it is still very pretty! Same application as Haywire.

 Clowning Around is the only non-crelly of the bunch, a clear base packed with the pretty translucent rainbow hexes found in most of the other polishes of this collection. Those glitters are pretty sheer -- I tried layering it over black and they barely showed up, so that is something to keep in mind, though I actually really like it as it makes this polish exceptionally unique among my collection of rainbow glitter toppers. Here it shown layered over Cult Nails Charming, a delightful lavender with super-strong pink shimmer (not really present in these bummertastic overcast photos, since the weather was in flood-mode during this mani... I plan on posting it by itself someday, too pretty not to). Since there is no worrying about bald patches for a clear polish, I only used 2 coats of Clowning Around here and got a lot of glitter coverage out of it.

And that is that! I am really glad I got the entire collection, they are all so pretty and springy. I rarely get a chance to re-wear polishes since I can't re-post the same exact manis (gotta generate content for these posts, alas) but I just might have to for a couple... and I already have plans to use these on my toes so I can enjoy them all over again :)

Don't forget, I will be giving all of these pretties away! I don't want to just tack a giveaway onto the bottom of a post, so I will have more info and the Rafflecopter widget in my next post -- stay tuned!
