Hello readers,
Today I have the Double Rainbow Shimmers collection from BLUSH Lacquers to share with you. This collection is the second half of their spring release and features six shimmery shades inspired by the elusive double rainbow. These can either be work on their own or layered over another shade. Let's take a look at swatches.
Cotton Candy Rays
Cotton Candy Rays features a pastel bubblegum pink crelly base filled with a fine blue to purple shifting shimmer and a sprinkling of small gold flakes. The formula was easy to work with though a bit sheer. After three coats my nail line still shows through a little bit. This shade dries down to a satin finish so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show three coats of Cotton Candy Rays with one coat of Essie Gel Setter top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Creamsicle Clouds
Creamsicle Clouds features a pale peach crelly base filled with a fine flecked gold to green shifting shimmer and small gold flakes. I used three coats here but it was so close after two that if you have shorter nails or a less distinct nail line than me two may be enough. Photos show three coats of Creamsicle Clouds with one coat of Essie Gel Setter top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.

Lilac Dawn
Lilac Dawn is a pale pink-leaning lavender crelly with a fine turquoise flecked shimmer and small gold flakes. The formula was easy to work with and took three coats for full coverage. This sahde dries down to a satin finish so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show three coats of Lilac Dawn with one coat of Essie Gel Setter top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Lilac Dawn over Kiss Me
Morning Light
Morning Light is a pale yellow crelly filled with a fine green flecked shimmer and small gold flakes. The formula was easy to apply though I recommend waiting a little extra time between coats to avoid dragging. I used three coats for almost full coverage. Photos show three coats of Morning Light with one coat of Essie Gel Setter top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Morning Light over Angel
Silver Lining
Silver Lining is a pale grey crelly with a fine flecked pink to gold shifting shimmer and small gold flakes. I thought this one was going to be sheer on me but was pleasantly surprised when it built up to full coverage in three coats. Photos show three coats of Silver Lining with one coat of Essie Gel Setter top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Silver Lining over True Love
Tidal Reflections
Tidal Reflections features a pale seafoam green crelly base filled with a fine flecked gold to green shifting shimmer and small gold flakes. The formula was easy to work with an took three coats for full coverage. Photos show three coats of Tidal Reflections with one coat of Essie Gel Setter top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
