Lilypad Lacquer ~ The
Wedding
Described as burgundy red
holo with soft golden shimmer
I usually love my Lilypads so I was very excited to see this polish,
which is a shop exclusive for Dazzled. I was excited because The Wedding is
inspired by the movie Beetlejuice, which is a move I really love. The pictures
shows an amazing red – and I’m sorry y’all, but my bottle is not that shade of
red at all, for sure.

Here’s two easy coats of The Wedding – the picture is taken in the
lightbox:
And another shot. It’s not because I don’t like it as such – it’s just
not at all what I expected.
Let me turn on the flash for you and show you the pretty rainbows:
I decorated it with stamps and glitter. I chose some heart designs from
BonsterMundle’s plate BM-411 and I stamped with my faithful Sally Hansen
Insta-Dri “Whirlwind White”. I sponged glitter on my index and my pinkie, and I
used OPI’s In True Stefani Fashion for that. I sealed it up with topcoat and
here’s my final mani:
Here’s another lightbox shot:
And here’s the flash picture:
However much I like this, I’m still hugely disappointed with the colour
– this is so not what I was lead to believe I was going to get, looking at the
original pictures.

OMG - this nail polish from the shop looks COMPLETELY different...
ReplyDeleteIt does! It's amazing how different they CAN look!
Delete*eyes pop* wow that really isn't the same polish is it? This one you have looks rather pretty and I love the holo effect too :-)
ReplyDeleteSlightly mis-leading. I remember your post a while back about all this and the photos. Did you contact them?
I didn't contact them, because I can't really see what they'd do about it. They clearly have to know that the pics doesn't show the polish like it really is, right?
DeleteWhile I like it - I clearly see why you are disappointed - it's nothing like that glowing red.
ReplyDeleteI have decided not to buy any more Lilypads.
A lot of girls and now also you have noticed that they vary way too much in shades and holo density. I recently got the true Blood Trio, and they are noting like the holo strong swatches I have seen.
So in this case it might not be a photo problem ;)
DeleteI must admit that my disappointment in this is huge, because I loved what I saw on the picture first. It's not that I don't like what I've got here, but... yeah... you know.
DeleteI think I'll start voting with my wallet too!
It's always disappointing to receive a totally different color. But I like it anyway!
ReplyDeleteI do like it. But I wanted that other shade of red! :D
DeleteIt's gorgeous, but I agree it's not the same colour as the one you ordered.
ReplyDeleteI do think it's pretty :)
DeleteOoh! This is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt is! :)
DeleteBeautiful colour :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteYes, it's not the same color... But it still looks pretty ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that, thank you :)
