Lilypad Lacquer ~ Chip of the old Hollyhock

Lilypad Lacquer ~ Chip of the old Hollyhock

Described as vivid fuchsia crelly base with a scattered holographic effect as well as iridescent flakes mixed in

“Chip Off The Old Hollyhock” was a store exclusive for Color4Nails back in the beginning of 2017. I bought my bottle in a grab bag recently.

I don’t entirely agree with the colour description. I see this more as a coral colour than a fuchsia. I like it, I’m just puzzled over the fact that this seems to happen often for me with Lilypad Lacquers.

The formula is good though, and I used two coats for full opacity. The drying time is average.

I had originally planned to apply a floral water decal on my ring finger, but the water decal wouldn’t cooperate. I tried once, and it dented the white that I had used as a base on that finger. I repaired the dent, waited and tried with another decal, but that went even worse. So I removed the white and painted the ring finger with “Chip Off The Old Hollyhock” like the others.

I placed a “slice” of something fruity on the ring finger and made three dots on all the other nails. I used El Corazón’s stamping polish “Yellow Neon” for the dots.

Here’s my final manicure taken with flash.

And this is the same thing taken in ordinary daylight to show off the flakes.

These are the two polishes I used.

“Chip Off The Old Hollyhock” was limited edition and is no longer available.

Do you see this as fuchsia – or coral? I’m curious, so please do tell.
