Purchased Myself

Hello readers,
Today I have one of the new Color4Nails Lilypad Lacquer exclusives to share with you.  This shade is filled with shift, shimmer and flakes - all things I love.

Lagoon Nails

Purchased Myself Contains Press Sample

Hello readers,
Today I have some more nail art to share with you.  I started out with a base of Zoya Ireland, a mossy grey green.  Then I added a coat of Femme Fatale Unwoven Light to add some sparkle and shimmer.  I added the leafy pattern using Lilypad Lacquer Bluebell and Bundle Monster plate BM-501.  One coat of CND Super Shiney sealed everything up.  The end result reminds me of a shallow lagoon - a mix of blue water, green seaweed and sparkling light.

Summer Of Untrieds Day 9: Lilypad Lacquer - Lilypad Lacquer Bluebell

Hello readers,
Today I have my first ever Lilypad Lacquer to show you.  I've heard a lot this brand and figured it was time to finally give it a try.  Conveniently one of the summer of untrieds theme's was Lilypad so it was meant to be.

Bluebell is a bright rich blue with a soft scatter holo.  The formula was great and very highly pigmented.  I think that this will prove to be a good stamping polish.  Photos show two coats of Bluebell with one coat of CND Super Shiney topcoat in natural lighting.  It was a bit overcast today though so the holo is not as strong in the pictures as it can be.

I can see what all the fuss is about.  The formula was amazing and the soft holo is very delicate.  Luckily NPC now carries this brand so they are easier to get my hands on.

Happy polishing,

Michelle
