Candy Lacquer Magical Reindeer Collection - Multichrome Glittery Madness!

Hello hello! Today I have the fabulous glittery multichrome Magical Reindeer collection from Candy Lacquer to share with you! These babies are indeed magic - take a look at the sparkly color-shifting perfection below!

look how sparkly - and you haven't even seen the color shift yet!

To avoid repeating myself, each swatch is two easily-applied coats and one coat of KB Shimmer Clearly On Top topcoat, and descriptions in quotes are from Candy Lacquer :)

First up is Reindeer Games, a "green/purple chameleon glitter with a bit of gold/green, blue/red and red/gold chameleons added, as well." To me it looks like a strong green to purple shift with a ton of gold sparkle. This one may have the strongest shift of all - it is mesmerizing! I am head over heels for this polish.

Next up is Fancy Prancer,"a mix of blue/red and green/purple chameleon and purple super holo glitters." This one mostly looks like a strong blue to reddish-purple shift to me, with a strong holo sparkle thrown in. Love love love!

Next up is Visions of Vixen, "a mix of green/purple, blue/red and red/gold chameleon glitters." This one is kind of hard to describe! It is kind of a plummy purple with green sparkle and a strong orange-y gold shift. So complex and pretty!

Next up is Flash Dancer, a "silver super holo, with some gold super holo and gold/green chameleon glitters." To me this comes off as a super in-your-face almost platinum silver with a hint of gold, but as you can see it can look more silver or gold depending on the lighting. So blingy! This looks like a great New Year's Eve polish to me.

Next up is Comet Chameleon, "a mix of all 4 chameleon glitters including red/gold, blue/red, green/purple and gold/green." A mix indeed! This one truly is a multi-glitter - so much going on it is hard to catch any shifting maybe, but all the more awesome for how many colors are thrown in! Love it. Kind of reminds me of the glitters from ye olde OPI Burlesque collection, or maybe Mad As A Hatter - aka, super awesomeness!

Last but certainly not least is Christmas Donner, "a mix of red/gold and gold/green chameleon and gold super holo glitters." This one looks like a mostly warm brownish copper glitter to me, with a gold shift in the right light. Another one of my faves - reminds me of Christmas candy for some reason - maybe toffee? So yummy!

I am so in love with this collection! Blogging multichromes typically takes so much work that I rarely am motivated to post even one, let alone a whole colletion of them - what with all the extra photos and angles needed to properly show the prettiness off and all. But these reindeer were just too magical for me to resist ;)

Hurray for Halloween! Pahlish, Candy Lacquer, and More

Hello friends! Today I have some super spooky manis to share with you ;) only a few days left til Halloween!

left to right, up to down: Candy Lacquer Pumpkin Fairy, b.i.t.c.h. by jaclyn
Pumpkin Tits, Pahlish Pop Rock Panic + Enchanted Polish Practice Safe Hex

First up is the delightful Candy Lacquer Pumpkin Fairy, a mix of various satin/matte/holo pastel glitters in a sheer orange creamsicle base. It came with an extra little bag of pumpkin/heart/star glitters for even more glittery goodness :) I layered it over Colors by Llarowe Read My Lips, More New Colors and China Glaze Son of a Peach here. Love this combo! I love how this polish is Halloween-y, but girly and pretty at the same time.

Next is Pahlish Pop Rock Panic, a magical medium purple mega holo, with Enchanted Polish Practice Safe Hex, a mix of purple, black and silver glitters over it. Perfect combo! I am in LOVE with the Halloween Pahlish labels - cutest ghostie ever!

 Finally we have b.i.t.c.h by Jaclyn (formally known as Pretty Bitch Polish) Pumpkin Tits (lol), a beautiful vibrant burnt orange holo with orange flakes. It looks super foil-y in the shade, but very holo in the sun. Pretty! Very autumn-y.

Twelve Manis of Christmas

Hello all, and a very Merry Christmas to you! (or Happy... Boxing Day? Apologies, this post was planned for earlier but I got carried away with festivities and such). I hope you all had a lovely day! I have of course been a bit slack with posting all my Christmas manis... but I have still been wearing them! So once again I will have to resort to a mass post with multiple manis, just like I did on Halloween. But, but but! since it did actually end up being exactly 12, I figured it was meant to be, haha. Enjoy!

outdoors, sun

First off, by far my favorite ultra-Christmas mani I wore this year - Candy Lacquer Mickeys & Mistletoe over Aly's Dream Polish Emerald and Dark Emerald. I just love how the lime green glitters here contrast against the dark green! And of course the Mickey glitter is just adorable.

outdoors, sun

Next up is Lilypad Lacquer Sweet Baby Jesus, a sheer silvery scatter holo with flakes and a pinky blue shift. So pretty! Shown here over Enchanted Polish Dime Piece, a silver holo. I wore this one to church on Christmas Eve - thought it was perfect, given the name :)

outdoors, sun

Next up, my picks from the KB Shimmer winter collection. Merry Pinkmas  is a baby pink crelly with assorted Christmassy glitters. It was a little sheer on me, so it took about four coats I think? But totally worth it! So adorable :) I actually wore this one for like an entire week - over Thanksgiving, was too busy to change my mani, but definitely a great one to get stuck in for awhile!

outdoors, overcast

Snow Flaking Way is a blurple jelly with various silver and blue glitters and of course snowflakes! I had a specific dress I wanted to match this one that was a touch bluer than its base, so I layered it over Picture Polish Freya's Cats, a blue jelly scatter holo to blue it up a bit. Love it, so squishy and wintry!

outdoors, sun

And the last of the KB Shimmers, Christmas Now is a grassy green jelly base with assorted Christmassy rainbow glitters. It was a little sheer so I layered it over Essie Mojito Madness, a grassy green creme. I just loved this one, one of my favorite shades of green! I don't have any pictures I don't think but I matteified it after a bit, and I really loved it that way too.

Onto another brand... I actually got a couple more Lynnderella Christmas polishes that I haven't worn yet (one of the new Christmas collection, and I was also lucky enough to snag one of the Advent LEs, w00t!) but have only worn Eleven Ladies Dancing, a mostly red-leaning rainbowy glitter, thus far (P.S. aww, the number 11 just reminds me of the Doctor Who Christmas special tonight :( anyone else watch it?!) But anyway, I layered it over Aly's Dream Polish Bayouberry, a cool sky blue soft scatter holo. Great combo, perfect together!

outdoors, sun

And on to my Dollish Polish picks of the season. I couldn't help loving Dolly's Christmas Vacation-inspired holiday collection; totally my favorite Christmas movie! This one is Jolliest Bunch of A**holes This Side of the Nuthouse, a pink-leaning white crelly with Christmas dots and microglitter. Very cute, love white crellys!

outdoors, overcast

Also from Dolly is Merry Christmas... Sh*tters Full!, haha. It's a fantastically dense rainbow microglitter, shown here over Aly's Dream Polish Super Black, a blue scatter holo. Seriously in love with this glitter, might be my new favorite rainbow glitter! It looks like rainbow fish scales.

outdoors, sun

Next up are some lovely Enchanted Polish skittles, both topped off with lovely Candy Lacquer glitters. First is EP Ho Ho Holidays (Chelsea's Christmas collection from last year): Bruised Nutcracker, Dance of the Sugarplum, Green Peace on Earth, and Olive the Other Reindeer with CL Holiday Dreams, a mix of various holo pastel shapes. Super pretty; all the colors went together perfectly!

outdoors, sun

I also did the same idea with EP Holiday 2013, a plummy burgundy holo, Dime Piece, and All Love Garden, an olive holo, topped off with CL Candy Cane Lane, a mix of red and white glitters in various shapes. Looking at this one now I miss it, haha - so festive!

outdoors, sun? I think

 The last of my Christmas Candy Lacquers! Rocking A-Round the Christmas Tree is a clear base with rainbowy circle glitters and green shimmer in the base. I layered it here over Aly's Dream Polish Emerald. So pretty! Love the abundance of circles.

And finally, my actual Christmas mani - the one I am tipwearing into oblivion as I write this post. On my nails for the big day was Colors by Llarowe Man in the Red Suit, a red holo (super holo too, but totally covered up by) Different Dimension Don't Be the Santa of Everything, which is red and green glitters and just about as Christmassy as you get. Apologies for the garbage picture; we were gone about all day today, bouncing around several family members' houses and visiting and I just didn't get a chance to get a good picture. This was crazy sparkly though, just like an ornament!

And there you have it! My posting schedule the past few months has been atrocious, so it kind of sucks that I had to shove all these feature-length manis into one big long post, but at least it was a good one full of lots of pretty :) Here's to hoping 2014's posting will be better! -clink-

Have a wonderful day! ♥
