the new no

I love to say no and so I'm telling you, "no, this is the color of the year." Whatever color of yellow this is. OPI released two new yellows like this (punch in the face yellow?) in their Brazil collection. One of which is in "mini only" form and that made me punch things.

Formula, perfect two coater and great staying power from CbL (Colors by Llarowe). Holo-tastic in all light and mega compliments. Also great staining power. VERY staining of yellow.

Does this title even make sense? I don't know. But I think I've seen other colors coming out like this and: Awesome. I should post more pictures but: Tired.

a polish by any other name

This was my first purchase from Liquid Sky Lacquer and it arrived safely and in a timely fashion. This was also my first thermal and it was quite a bit of fun. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if the default color didn't blend right into my skin (that was the 24K part of the 24K Rose). I didn't show a picture of the lightest color because it just made my nails look yellow and stained in the picture (which they are). However, when exposed to enough temperature gradation it gave a fun albeit temporary effect. 

I think I used three-four coats as it was quite sheer and this polish applied matte.

24K Rose pink reminded of something...compared to China Glaze Strawberry Fields.

easter egg

Welcome back bloggy, I’ve missed you! Well what do we have here? Radioactive neon green matte satin rubber impossible to find here you are, you are finally home!!!! Huge and delayed thanks to a lovely lacquer friend for gifting me this elusive gem.

As for formula, it’s thick and a bit hard to control as far as streakiness vs. opacity, especially taking into consideration there will be no topcoat. However I managed to get it pretty level in between two and three coats. The color and effect were well worth the effort (as you can see the camera is a little unsure about the brightness).
