Me.Lissa Lacquer Swatches & Review

Hello all! I've got another cool Etsy brand to share with you today! Me.Lissa Lacquer has a nice variety of glitters and crellies, and I have three pretty glitters on the blog today.



left to right, up to down: Set My Heart Aflame, Ain't No Party Like a Gatsby
Party, Beautiful Little Fool

Beautiful Little Fool is a clear base with mostly small baby pink and white hexes, some darker pink holo hexes, and a smattering of yellow, blue, and iridescent glitters as well. I layered it over OPI What's With the Cattitude, a baby blue creme. It applied nicely enough but I didn't get a whole lot of glitter in each coat, so it would probably help to layer a couple coats to get a desirable glittery effect. Overall the glitter has a very pastel, spring-y vibe, very girly!

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
3 coats OPI What's with the Cattitude
3 coats Me.Lissa Lacquer Beautiful Little Fools
1 coat HK Girl Topcoat

Ain't No Party Like a Gatsby Party is a clear base full of silver, gold and black hexes and bars and silver microglitter as well. I layered this one over Zoya Kelly, a dark gray creme. This one was much thicker than Beautiful Little Fool; the first coat was chock-full of glitter but still applied very nicely over the nail. I love this glitter! It totally reminds me of New Year's Eve. And I love the inspiration - hands-down my favorite book I read in school! (Can't believe I haven't seen the new movie yet.)

Lastly, Set My Heart Aflame is a clear base with assorts small red, yellow and pink glitters, red, yellow and black microglitter, and red hearts. I layered it over OPI Suzi's Hungary Again!, a hot pink creme. This one was in between the other two as far as glitter payoff; one coat would be adequate, but I went with two for just a little more glitter on the nail. As one would expect, I had to fish for the hearts, but it wasn't actually too bad, since I was able to snag enough for one for each nail. I really like this one, it reminds me of Valentine's Day a bit but really, with the yellow thrown in there, the KC Chiefs! And I think it looks nice over the hot pink - very bright and pretty.
