Daily Lacquer Satine

Hey guys! Today I have a lovely new polish from Daily Lacquer to share with you from Maggie's new Moulin Rouge-inspired collection! Satine is an amazing charcoal gray holo with holo silver microglitter and holo silver diamonds as well! Talk about a holofest! This polish is seriously so sparkly, I just about cried when it chipped and I had to take it off. It absolutely can reach opacity on its own (2-3 coats depending on how careful you are) but since I had some issues with the holo base covering up the diamond glitter (which can create a bit of a lumpy effect) I ended up layering it over Catherine Arley 667, a medium gray linear holo, but it doesn't really show up in the final mani as Satine is much darker than 667 -- it just helped with opacity so that I didn't have to deal with layering the glitters. Seriously loved the way this mani turned out, take a look!

3 coats Catherine Arley 667
1 coat Daily Lacquer Satine
1 coat Seche Vite

I just love how much holo is going on in this polish -- not only the holo base (which I confess I was not aware just how holo the base was until I stepped outside this morning to grab my mail and was blinded - nearly dropped my keys) but then the holo microglitter, and even holo diamonds! I like how sparse the diamonds are, because it really gives it a classy, interesting look. Overall I just love the inclusion of the glitters, because it makes it super sparkly and pretty, even in the shade :)

Daily Lacquer Buddy

Hey guys! Today I have another adorable polish for you from Daily Lacquer. Buddy is a mix of tons of gold (some holo!) hexes, shards, stars, and microglitter and some green hexes, all in a grassy green base. I used it over China Glaze Starboard but I am sure it could get to opacity on its own. It's quite pretty, take a look!

 On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
1 coat China Glaze Starboard
2 coats Daily Lacquer Buddy
1 coat Seche Vite
1 coat OPI Topcoat
1 coat Seche Vite

I don't always love green on me, but this is one of my favorite shades when I do it! The green and gold go together really well. I love the star glitters, and the shards added a nice touch. Application was good; stars weren't hard to get out, I anticipated it would be bumpy so I went with the extra topcoat, but that's not a problem to me. I love the twinkly holo hexes :) Overall very pretty!

Daily Lacquer Swirly Twirly Gumdrops + Zoya Storm

Hey guys! Starting from today, expect lots of Christmas and winter manis! Hope you're excited, because I sure am! This is definitely my favorite time of the year, and I am thrilled to display that on my nails :) Today I have for you a super cute polish from a new indie brand Daily Lacquer. When I saw Daily Lacquer pop up on Etsy I knew I had to have them on my nails -- all the colors are so bright and adorable, just the way I like it! The owner Maggy was sweet enough to include a couple minis from her holiday collection to share with you guys -- today I have for you Swirly Twirly Gumdrops. This title makes me laugh, because if anyone has seen Elf, the movie this collection is based on, you will remember the story of Buddy's journey that he tells over and over and over again... :) a really cute movie, I definitely recommend it! Swirly Twirly Gumdrops is full of red, blue, teal, and lavender medium hexes, large white hexes, and tons of teal/gold iridescent microglitter. It's really bright and colorful, so I wanted to layer it over something dark to really show it off. I picked Zoya Storm, the black holo from the new holiday collection, and hands down the best black holo I own. I adore both these polishes and love the way they looked together, check it out!

2 coats Zoya Storm
1 coat Seche Vite
2 coats Daily Lacquer Swirly Twirly Gumdrops
2 coats Seche Vite

I actually wore Storm for awhile before I put on the glitter because it is so lovely by itself (hence the extra middle coat of Seche), but I wasn't able to get any pictures unfortunately. I was worried that the microglitter of Swirly Twirly Gumdrops might overpower the holo of Storm, but it still pops nicely in the sun I think! Swirly Twirly Gumdrops itself was pretty nice to apply -- I didn't get any white hexes the first coat, but they came out easily, no fishing require the second one! They all laid pretty flat and while I did dab a little to place the glitter the way I wanted, it applied pretty well. A little bumpy, but with so many large glitters that is to be expected, so it didn't bother me too much -- just use your extra topcoat, and all is well. I loved both these polishes and I am so excited to try more of both -- the rest of the Zoya holiday collection as well as more Daily Lacquer polishes! Can't wait! :)
