Hello readers,
As of this post I've officially worn every polish in my Great Lakes Lacquer Collection. Let's take a look at swatches for the last dozen shades.
Mystery #10
Mystery #10 features a shimmery turquoise base with a large particle aqua to pink shifting shimmer and small silver holo flecks. The formula was easy to work. I used three coats here, though it was very closer after two. Those with shorter nails or a less distinct nail line than me may find two is enough. Photos show three coats of Mystery #10 with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush top coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Great Flakes, Great Times
Great Flakes, Great Times features a turquoise base filled with tiny metallic flecks in shades of blue, copper, purple and pink along with a sprinkling of scatter holo shimmer. The formula was very easy to work with and nicely pigmented taking two coats for full coverage. It did dry down to a satin sheen, so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show two coats of Great Flakes, Great Times with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Destination: Bali
Destination: Bali features a blue tinted base packed with teal to blue shifting shimmer and tiny silver holo flecks. The formula was super easy to work with and took three thin coats for full coverage. Photos show three coats of Destination: Bali with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself
Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself features a pale blue tinted base filled with a gold-green shifting shimmer. In bright lighting the shimmer takes over. In shaded lighting the blue tones come out more. I used three coats for full coverage here. Photos show three coats of Without Every Having Felt Sorry For Itself with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Batch-A-Palooza #23
Batch-A-Palooza #23 features a seafoam green base filled with blue shimmer, small silver holo flecks and a sprinkling of tiny pink flecks. The formula was very easy to work with taking three thin coats for full coverage. This shade did dry down to a satin matte finish so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show three coats of Batch-A-Palooza #23 with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Like Air, I'll Rise V2
Like Air, I'll Rise V2 is a tea to blue to purple multichrome holo. The formula was a breeze taking three coats for full coverage. However, it was super close after two so those with shorter nails or a less distinct nail line than me may find two is enough. Photos show three coats of Like Air, I'll Rise V2 with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Toronto #16
Toronto #16 features a turquoise jelly base filled with a strong green shimmer. The formula was easy to apply though sheer. After three coats you can still see my nail tips still showing through. Photos show three coats of Toronto #16 with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Afternoon Storms 2.0
Afternoon Storms 2.0 features a blue-leaning purple base filled with a strong green flecked shimmer. Another easy to work with formula. I used three coats here but it was pretty close after two. Those with shorter nails or a less distinct nail line than me may find two is enough. Photos show three coats of Afternoon Storms 2.0 with one coat of Girly Bits Cosmetics What A Rush topcoat in daylight spectrum lighting.
NOLA #8
NOLA #8 features a blurple base filled with a strong teal to purple shifting shimmer. The formula was excellent and nicely pigmented taking two coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of NOLA #8 with one coat of CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Lake Superior V2
Lake Superior V2 is a teal to blue to purple multichrome. The formula was super easy to work with taking two thin coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of Lake Superior V2 with one coat of CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
Meet Me At Ripley's
Meet Me At Ripley's features a light but bright green base filled with a a green to aqua shifting shimmer. The formula was easy to apply and took three coats for almost full coverage. My nail lines still show through a tiny bit, but it's not super obvious. This shade does dry down to a satin finish so top coat is recommended for shine. Photos show three coats of Meet Me At Ripley's with one coat of CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
I Have Been Her Kind
I Have Been Her Kind is an olive green to emerald to blue multichrome. The formula was excellent and nicely pigmented taking two coats for full coverage. Photos show two coats of I Have Been Her Kind with one coat of CND Vinylux Weekly Top Coat in daylight spectrum lighting.
