Laquerlicious Stained Glass + OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise

Hey guys! Today I have the last of my lovely Laquerlicious polishes to share with you. Stained Glass is a fun jewel-toned holo rainbow glitterbomb in a clear base. With rainbow glitters like this the layering possibilities are pretty much endless, but I thought since it was so jewel-toned it would be pretty over a jewel-ish base as well, so I layered it over OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise, a pretty turquoise glass fleck with a very nice purpley-pink in-bottle duochrome that I couldn't really find on my nails. Even so these two polishes seemed to complement each other pretty well; check it out!

1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
4 coats OPI Austin-tatious Turquoise
2 coats Laquerlicious Stained Glass
1 coat Seche Vite

Apologies for the tipwear/shrinkage/whatever it is; it seems my Austin-tatious Turquoise did not care much for SV... anyway, I really love the mix of glitter in this one! I have tons of rainbow glitters at this point because I can't help but be drawn to every one I ever see, haha... but there is something special and unique, I think, about the colors included in this one and the way they go together. It really does remind me of big stained glass windows at a church or something - very pretty! It applied pretty well too, not much as much glitter on the first coat but plenty by the second, which can be nice when you are going for a little more of a scattered, subtle look. Overall I've been very impressed by all the Laquerlicious polishes I've tried out and would definitely recommend them! All very pretty and nice formulas/application - can't go wrong there :)

Laquerlicious Strawberry Cosmo + OPI DS Extravagance

Hey guys! Today I have another gorgeous polish from Laquerlicious to share with you. Strawberry Cosmo is a sheer pink base full of tons of fuschia microglitter, and small/medium fuschia/purple glitters, both hexes and circles (yay circle glitter!) and some holo. I think it could potentially reach opacity on its own due to the pink base, but I decided to layer it over my much-loved OPI DS Extravagance, a burgundy scatter holo, which was the absolute perfect base for Strawberry Cosmo. Check it out!

2 coats Laquerlicious Strawberry Cosmo
1 coat OPI Topcoat
1 coat Seche Vite

I really, really, really love this mani. It is so insanely sparkly and holo and such a rich, pretty color -- totally gorgeous! I feel like my nails are coated in gemstones. Extravagance has always been one of my go-to favorite colors, and Strawberry Cosmo really took it to the next level (which I didn't even know was possible!). I really like the inclusion of the little purple glitters, as I hadn't noticed them til I applied the polish, but they add a lot of depth and make it very interesting to look at. And I adore the circle glitter of course, always :) As far as application goes I had absolutely no problems, so pretty much this is a perfect polish in my book :)

Laquerlicious Melted Ice Cream + butter LONDON Muggins

Hi guys! Today I have a fun polish from a new-to-me indie brand to share, Laquerlicious! Melted Ice Cream is full of white, black, hot pink, light pink and purple shard glitters in a clear base. I layered it over butter LONDON Muggins, a pale lavender creme, so that all the glitter colors would pop- check it out!

1 coat Innisfree Eco Peel-off Base coat
3 coats butter LONDON Muggins
2 coats Laquerlicious Melted Ice Cream
1 coat Seche Vite

I first must say that I love shard glitter, so this polish is super fun for me! I think the colors go together really well, and I like the different shapes and sizes of shards in there. Application was better than expected -- it mostly flowed onto the nail with minimum glitter placement necessary. When it was all said and done I had three glitters sticking up a little annoyingly (which is pretty common and hard to avoid I think with this type of glitter). I very carefully picked one of them off the nail and just left the other two. With the exception of those just the one coat of SV smoothed this mani down pretty nicely :) Got a bunch of compliments on it today too -- always fun!
