Delightful Handmade Lacquers Review Part 3

 Hey guys! Today is my last post featuring Delightful Handmade Lacquers. More holos today, and I musy say I love every single one of them! Enjoy :)

Clockwise starting from top right: Stellar Cartography, Tin Foil Hat,
Enchanted Forest. Tiger's Blood

 Stellar Cartography is a deep oceany true blue holo. Such a lovely bright, vibrant shade! Seriously in love with this one here. Like before I really don't know if this is linear or scattered, but I do know it's gorgeous :)

On my nails:
2 coats Delightful Handmade Lacquers Stellar Cartography
(pinky only) OPI Topcoat

 Great application too -- this one didn't really need anything (like base or topcoat) but easy coats to look fabulous!

Enchanted Forest is a grassy green holo -- more yellow-toned than the emerald Lucky Clover I posted yesterday. Another gorgeous one! Same easy application as Stellar Cartography, same pretty holo effect. Two green holos in one collection makes this green polish lover very happy!

 Tin Foil Hat is a brilliant silver holo. The holo on this is spectacular! My pictures don't do it justice at all, it really is so incredibly pretty. I love how even in my picture you can clearly see a pretty pastel rainbow across the nail. I don't have too many silver holos so it's tough for me to do much of a comparison (though I do have some holo comparison posts planned in the distant future... we'll see if I ever get around to it) but I think this one is quite nice.

On my nails:
2 coats Delightful Handmade Lacquers Tin Foil Hat
(pinky only) OPI Topcoat

2 coats are adequate but you can probably see some bald spots in my pics -- 3 coats would probably be better for this one. Still, nice application though for the most part! Went on easy like the last two.

 Tiger's Blood is our last pretty -- a slightly pink-toned but very vibrant red holo! This one is less pink-toned than China Glaze Infra-Red for sure, but it still isn't exactly fire engine red -- so pretty though! Even though red isn't my color I still find this quite wearable. Same nice application and coverage as the first two in this post -- love that!

A bunch of great holos! I really liked almost all of the polishes I tried from Delightful Handmade Lacquers, they had nice application and were unique and beautiful. Definitely plan on incorporating some of them in future manis! :)

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!

Delightful Handmade Lacquers Review Part 1

Hey guys! I am excited to introduce a new indie brand with you today! Delightful Handmade Lacquers has a wide variety of pretty, unique polishes, and I'll be sharing several of them over the next few posts.

L to R, top to bottom:Coastal Sands, Nightshade, Sunshine

Coastal Sands is a sandy neutral beige scattered holo base with tons of coppery neutral and sky blue holo microglitter. I love this one! The colors go fantastically together; I just love how the pretty blue glitters pop against the base.

On my nails:
1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
2 coats Delightful Handmade Lacquers Coastal Sands
1 coat Seche Vite

 Sunshine is a yellow-orange jelly full of small silver glitter and microglitter. I surprisingly adore this polish! It had really nice opacity actually, which I wasn't expecting. I know the idea of a sheer yellow jelly might not work for some people, but it really is so glossy and pretty!

 Nightshade is a dark purple jelly base with silver hexes and bars. This is a lovely, deep  shade, and so so glossy! I love vampy dark purple like this.

These were all really nice to work with - good, easy application and coverage. If I recall Nightshade was a bit thicker but still manageable. I really love how unique they all were - all so pretty and glossy. Great intro to a new brand! Look forward to the rest of them -- next post will feature some stunning holos :)
