Candy Lacquer: Springtime!

Press Sample

Candy Lacquer launched their springtime collection back in early April, but asked if I'd like to review some so I jumped at the chance! She sent three of the six and I liked them all, of course. These are available right now at Candy Lacquer's shop.

In Bloom is a lavender holographic polish with iridescent shimmer.




Spring Forward is a mint green holographic polish with iridescent shimmer and a few gold microflakies.




Deep End is a denim blue holographic polish with iridescent shimmer.




I wore two coats of each of these with topcoat. These are smooth to the touch and dry to a semi-gloss or satin finish on their own. The formula is consistently good and easy to work with based on the (now) five CL polishes I've tried so far. I hope you have enjoyed the review!

A personal note from me: I have been working extended hours in my career for a month now, which has caused me to have very little free time. My situation may change back to normal as soon as July or as late as September, so entries here will be slower/fewer until then. I appreciate your understanding and patience during this time. :)

Candy Lacquer: Peanut Butter Girl and Jelly Candy

Press Sample

Brand new from Candy Lacquer is this PB&J duo! This is the first time I've reviewed for Candy Lacquer, but I am definitely already familiar with the brand. All the polishes I've ordered previously have been more beautiful than the photos in the shop, have smooth and consistent formulas, and shipped to me super fast. Sandra, the owner, is very kind and fun to work with! Not to mention the fun names she comes up with for each polish - which usually share what her inspiration was for the creation.

Peanut Butter Girl is a light orange brown holographic with pink shimmer throughout. Like it's namesake, it's a peanut buttery color! I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos. Formula was smooth and consistent, no clumping or pulling.




Jelly Candy looks just like a yummy grape jelly! It is described as a deep orchid holographic with multi colored shimmer. I wore two coats with topcoat for a glossy finish, as this dries semi-matte on its own. Formula was smooth and consistent, no clumping or pulling. The accent nail is a base of Peanut Butter Girl, stamped with MdU and a jelly looking stamp design.




I hope you have enjoyed this duo as much as I have! It is launching Friday April 22 at 9am Central.

I also have some of the already launched spring shades coming up in a future review. Stay tuned!

My Indie Polish: Summer Festival Trio

Press Sample

It has been almost two years since I've reviewed for and used the My Indie Polish brand. I have to say, this brand has come a long way and I'm impressed. Tanya and her son create the polishes together. They've created a super bright and fun Summer Festival trio!

Field Party is soft sky blue full of party confetti! The shaped colorful glitters are bright and fun, cling to the brush easily with no fishing. I wore two smooth coats, no streaking or pulling. I topped with Gelous then topcoat for extra shine!




Neon Coral is a super bright shade! I've left the last image dark to really show off the color since my camera refuses to shoot it accurately. It's definitely neon! I kept an accent of Field Party, I love it so! I wore two coats of Neon Coral, the application is smooth if care is taken not to swipe more than a few times in the same spot. Letting this dry for a few minutes between coats is also suggested.





Neon Lime is my kinda color! Super bright and fun, very eye catching! The formula was thinner than the neon coral and easy to apply - same technique as the coral will help prevent any lumps as neons are prone to if the brush is swiped multiple times in the same spot. I wore three coats with topcoat.




Tanya also sent a sample of her cuticle cream to me. I used it all over both hands and it felt really moisturizing. It's very lightly scented and clean smelling.

The Summer Festival collection launches on Saturday April 16, at both of the My Indie Polish shop sites.
