Literary Lacquers: Tequila Mockingbird


Literary Lacquers and Ethereal Lacquer are planning to release a collaborative Limited Edition duo, called Summer Cocktails, and I had the chance to swatch the Literary Lacquers polish in the duo called Tequila Mockingbird.

It's a very bright, almost neon, linear holographic pink. In the bottle it leans a bluer shade and on the nail its more of a straight up bright neonish pink. And for my camera, some shades of pink are very challenging to get color accurate and this is one of them. I did my best, but I think this representation leans a hair too blue.

The formula was smooth and easy as with all other Literary Lacquers polishes I've tried. I wore three coats and topcoat for the photos.

Be sure to visit the Literary Lacquers Facebook page for updates on the Limited Edition duo which will be available for preorder June 6 at 1pm central time to 6/13 1am central at the Literary Lacquers shop for $24.50 shipped in the US or $22 plus relevant shipping worldwide.

Super fast post for the evening. I just spotted these bottle shots so I put them together with their color names and thought I'd share!

Aly's Dream Polish: Salmon

I won a giveaway from Alisha at IG quite a while ago and she sent two beautiful polishes to me!
One of them was an Aly's Dream Polish which I've never tried before! The color is called Salmon and it's the perfect name for it. I was super impressed with the formula, it goes on like butter and was easy to control the brush so I had very minimal clean up. I wore two coats with topcoat in the photos below.
