Literary Lacuqers: March Pop Up

Press Sample

It's that time again for the Literary Lacquers monthly pop up shop! In last month's review I talked about her new business plan, and I'm loving it so far! The March release will showcase a total of six polishes, one a throwback and another brand new which I am sharing below. I have previously reviewed the other four which are: Felix Felicis, Avada Kedavra, Mirror of Galadriel and Color of Magic (formerly named Octarine).



Amortentia (the newbie of the bunch)
A champagne rose gold almost metallic holo with glass flakies. Inspired by the love potion in Harry Potter, and designed with Rachel McNulty for her geeky wedding.
Opaque in one coat, super sparkly and such an elegant celebratory shade. While it is not necessarily limited edition, Amy has no current plans to stock it again after this pop up. So if you love it, grab it while you can.





Midsummer Night's Dream (updated formula)
Deep blue jelly, with small gold squares, black hexes, and holographic gold hexes.
One of the first polishes created by Amy, its namesake was also the name of the collection. It has been reformulated and is absolutely beautiful. I wore two coats with gelous and topcoat for a smooth glassy shine.





The shop opens on Friday, March 3, 8pm MST and will close Sunday, March 5, midnight MST.
Polishes will be restocked periodically when they sell out through the end of the weekend. So if something is sold out, keep checking back until after the shop closes on March 5!

Emily de Molly: Showdown

The moment I saw Showdown, I knew it was special and I had to have it. I had not ever seen a tinted jelly polish as sparkly and flakie as this and haven't seen anything else even close to it since. Absolutely unique in my collection and possibly in the whole nail polish market. If you don't have this, you need it. Trust.





Formula was excellent as with all EdM polishes and two coats was opaque enough for this gal.

I hope you have enjoyed the review and swatches! And yes, this polish is still available!
Visit EdM's store and pick up a beautiful polish or five!

My Indie Polish: Hello Toronto (partial)

Press Sample

My Indie Polish has launched a 12 piece set called Hello Toronto, of which I'm sharing four.



Candi
A deep plum with glitters and mini ucc flakies. I wore two coats and topcoat for a glossy shine. The formula was smooth and easy to apply.





Kensington Market
A creamy bright lilac with hidden holographic shimmer. Such a beautifully done polish. It looks like a cream, but has that hidden holo shimmer that only you might know about. The holo adds dimension and it sparkles in the sunlight. Is this the new trend? Hidden holo? Cause I am absolutely LOVING it! Nothing like this in my collection. Formula was creamy smooth and opaque in two coats.





Rouge Beach
An iridescent blue textured glitter polish. I wore two coats in the photos below and it was almost opaque. I think one more coat would do it if you want a dense glittery look. I kind of like letting the nail show through a little. The formula was fluid and easy to apply. I wore a coat of gelous and then topcoat for a smooth glassy look.





The CNE
A dark blue jelly with a smattering of multichrome flakies throughout. So squishy, this polish! I can't even. I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was great.





The polish formula is fantastic, smooth and buttery just like I like! Wear time is great so far, going on four days with no chips.
I hope you've enjoyed my review, now head on over to My Indie Polish to see the rest and pick up a few of your own!
