Gothic Gala Lacquers ~ Picard

Gothic Gala Lacquers ~ Picard

Deep pink leaning berry – linear holographic

It’s been more than four months since I wore my first Gothic Gala Lacquers. Back then Samantha had just started up her business with various glitter polishes. Let’s see how much has happened since back then, shall we?

They’re all holos and the first impression is that they’re all gorgeous!

I wanted to give Picard a go first; a deep pink, almost berry coloured holo.

The formula is great, the polish glides on effortlessly and covers in two easy coats. Drying time between the coats is great. I used a regular basecoat, and didn’t experience any problems with dragging or the dreadful bald spots. And man… this is such a beautiful polish.

Let me show you what two coats and no topcoat look like on this picture taken with flash:

Is that pretty or what?? I’d say it is!

Picard is also pretty in lower lights and without a flash to make her show the rainbows. Take a look at this:

It’s almost even prettier than on the pictures taken with flash!!

This polish is so sweet that I had to give it a bit of edge – we are talking about a brand name that has the word “gothic” in it after all! So I stamped some cool skulls on it. I found the skulls on a stamping plate from Moyou London called “Biker Bollection-02” and I just stamped with a no name black stamping polish.

Final result with flash:

And without flash:

I have also got to show you this cute lollipop Sam sent me. I love it!!

I have to say that Samantha has really stepped up the indie polish ladder during the last four months! I really like(d) her glitters back then, and seriously, now - I love this first holo of hers that I’m trying on. Amazing formula, great coverage, beautiful polish. Polished thumbs up from me! ♥
