Pitcher This is a cherry-leaning polish loaded with colorful shifting shimmer. In the light, bright gold and copper shimmer accent glowing holo flakes. In the shade, the shimmer shows off more muted tones of orange, lime, and red. Sometimes a hint of blue and violet can be seen, turning this cherry shade into fuchsia. Shown in two coats with topcoat.




Red, White, & Brews is packed with holographic glitters in a red jelly base. Shown in two coats with topcoat.




Perfectly Suited is a yellow nail polish with a hint of chartreuse. Holo glow flakes sparkle in the sunlight, while a golden color-shifting shimmer shows off shades of gold, orange, yellow and lime. Shown in two coats with topcoat.




Easy Glowing is a neon chartreuse jelly nail polish loaded with color shifting flakes in hues of orange, lemon, and lime. Shown in two coats with topcoat. Easy Glowing also glows under blacklight.




Happy Camper was inspired by the popular retro vibe. A near aqua, teal leaning robin's egg blue. While this shade gives nearly one-coat coverage, I prefer two. Shown topcoated.




Cruise Control is a bright cobalt blue that shifts from mint green and gold shimmer to a faded red-orange, lime and indigo. Shown in three coats with topcoat.




Coast Through Life is a vibrant raspberry leaning purple shade with a bold linear holographic rainbow. Shown in two coats with topcoat.




RV There Yet? is a pale, silver-leaning lavender with a strong, copper-forward shifting shimmer. In low light, shades of goldenrod and red-oranges accent the pale purple hue with holo glow flakes scattered throughout. Shown in two coats with topcoat.




Lights Out is a midnight-to-purple multichrome. It starts with a nearly black, not quite navy hue that flips to a warm magenta. Ember hues give way to rich golds and a grape-like purple, for a unique, midnight-inspired nail polish. Shown in two coats with topcoat.

Literary Lacquers: As You Wish Valentine Trio

Press Sample

Literary Lacquers was inspired this month by the Princess Bride book. Amy, the artisan behind the brand, created two new core shades plus a limited edition glitter topper which will launch on February 2 at 2pm Central. The three polishes are known as the 'As You Wish' valentine trio. While I have not personally read the book or seen the movie, I am definitely a fan of these polishes!




Princess Buttercup
A white matte polish dotted with light pink glitter and shimmer for an overall pinkish effect on the nail. It is a bit sheer, so I used three coats for photos. The formula was fantastic, not streaky or clumpy at all. I've shown it below both ways - in its original matte finish, and with a glossy topcoat.









The Man in Black
A black matte polish dotted with pink glitters, shimmers and coppery flake. The formula was smooth and easy to apply. I wore two coats for the photos and am also showing it with a glossy top coat and heart on each nail from the glitter topper.









Mawage - Limited Edition for sale through Feb.
A clear based glitter topper with holo silver and pink hex glitter and pink heart-shaped glitters. There are plenty of hearts in this polish, but they will settle since they are heavier. A quick fix is to prop the bottle upside down for a few minutes so they settle nearer the top. I had no issues getting hearts out once they were nearer the top. I used four coats because I wanted to see how it looked without a base color. I quite like it, but in hindsight I think I'd sponge it on instead when wearing it without a base color.





You can get yours on Feb 2, at 2pm Central in the Literary Lacquers online store. To stay in the know, join the Literary Lacquers facebook group, where we have fun activities and a book club!
