Urban Lacquer: a few core polishes

I have a few Urban Lacquer polishes (PR Samples) plus an untried mainstream to share with you today.

First is an untried polish called Gem Green from CQ. I picked this up probably a year or more ago. I haven't seen the brand around stores lately and I wonder if its still being made. Anyone know?
Pictured is two Coats; very easy to apply. Its kind of a sparse/scattered holo. It really needs bright sunlight to show the rainbow, but its a pretty shade of green indoors too.


I topped it with NaCl from Urban Lacquer. (italics are the shop's descriptions)
NaCl is a gorgeous, color-changing blend of white and iridescent glitter - 8 different glitters, to be exact. Looks beautiful over any base color! This formula is thick, and almost has a fluffy texture. It glides easily onto the nail, and is a wonderful addition to your winter polish collection!

I just love square glitter and this topper has plenty!

Little Black Undies (LBU) is a basic black polish that can be worn by itself, or under a glitter polish.

Two coats with topcoat and it was perfect!

But wait! How would it look with NaCl on top?

eeee! More squares! :D

Hurry Me Up is a unique blend of micro iridescent pink flakies, neon yellow hex glitter, and black shredded glitter in a clear base. Works best as a glitter topper, although can be worn alone, when applying 3-4 coats. The micro pink flakies will shift from pink to purple, and is a perfect "going out" polish!

Two coats of Hurry Me Up over Loreal Tea and Crumpets. Such a fun polish full of tiny shreds, pink glowy shimmer and teeny matte glitters! :D

The Polish Bar

Today I'm sharing a few polishes from The Polish Bar, a shop that I had not tried before.

Janice sent three polishes of her choosing to me for free and I was so surprised when they arrived. Each of them are different styles of glitter polish which she makes very well.
(I'm using her descriptions (italicized below) for each polish.)

Better Things has ultrafine light green, baby blue, purple hex glitters, and a dash of purple-green iridescent glitters in a clear base.

The formula is surprisingly smooth and very easy to apply. I wore two coats of Better Things over one coat of Revlon Hazy.


Look at that shifting shimmer!


By Starlight is a major glitter bomb! It has rainbow hex glitters, bar glitters, silver stars and many, many other glitters in a clear base.

I didn't dig around or fish and ended up with two holo stars, so there's a 50/50 chance of getting one!


I used two coats over Color Club's I Believe in Amour.

Party Dress has hot pink microflakies, pink holo hex glitters and fuchsia dot glitters in a sheer black jelly base.

I wore two coats of Party Dress over Love and Beauty's Magenta. Again, this polish was easy to apply and fairly smooth to the touch.


Look at the shimmer in there! It looks like it has holo shimmer particles in it, even though its not in the description. The polish leans a little more magenta than my photo shows. I couldn't color correct because it turned the purple shimmer blue. Its less red, and a much richer magenta than what my photo can show. Party Dress is really gorgeous and my favorite of the three.

All three have great formulas and are so much fun to paint with! You can get yours at The Polish Bar's Etsy Shop and check Polish Bar news and updates at their Facebook page.

More Love Triangles with Urban Lacquer

PR Sample

I was just looking at my previous blog entry and realized that I left out a couple of swatches. So a few minutes ago, I redid my nails to get this shot.

The Wife on top of the Husband (one coat each) with an accent of The Mistress jelly sandwiched between the Husband and the Wife. Now the triangle is complete!



I really love how the Wife makes the Mistress blush!
(one coat of each for the accent nail)


These launch in about 20 minutes at the Urban Lacquer Etsy Shop.
