Road to Polish Con: Scofflaw, Leesha's Lacquer, Supernatural

Press Sample

The Road to Polish Con is back as a preview for the September 23 Polish Con event in Chicago. I am delighted to be involved again as both Director of the event and Official RTPC Blogger! If you missed the NYC Road to Polish Con, you can find photos and links here.

I and five other “official” Polish Con Bloggers and Swatchers are sharing each polish with you first! We'll adventure together down the Road to Polish Con every Thursday for a full eleven weeks.
The polishes release Sunday morning at 8am central, will be available to pre-order for one week, and then the shop is refreshed with different polishes for the next launch.



Scofflaw Charlotte Spinning in the Stars
a nightsky-grey crelly base, packed with tons of silver shimmer and flecks, as well as silver, gunmetal, black, and matte navy glitters. It's finished off with blue sparkle highlights of several shades.





Leesha's Lacquer Pier Pressure
A black with a slight purple shimmer with orange/pink flakies and a scattered holo

I sponged on the second layer of this polish to show the flakies better for photos. I also sandwiched a coat of gelous between coats of quick dry topcoat to get a glassy smooth shine. The flakes weren't textured to the touch, but there were visible spots shown in the macro shot that looked sunken where the flakes were. Difficult to describe, but additional clear/top fixed that right up.





Supernatural Funhouse
S purple base with a purple/blue/red/gold shift and hot pink/orange/gold flakies






Each of these polishes have good formulas and easy application with little clean up. Shown is two coats for each polish pictured.

I hope you've enjoyed the review and photos - snag yours this Sunday morning after 8am Central over at http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/products. They're available 8/6-8/12, and if you haven't already, join the Polish Con facebook group to stay informed.
