Lacquer Lust ~ Sugared Plum

Lacquer Lust ~ Sugared Plum

Purple linear holo

You don’t see Lacquer Lust very often on this blog. It’s because I only have three of them :D Sugared Plum has been waiting patiently in the box for over a year to shine here!

The formula is great, I didn’t experience any issues with application at all. I used two easy and fast drying coats for my mani.

The rainbows are so cool – here’s two coats and no topcoat taken with flash:

The colour is also nice in low lights. I really like it when it’s like that.

I stamped on it. I found a motif on Moyou London’s stamping plate Back to the 60s-04, and since the motif is funky I chose to keep it funky by stamping with a mint green stamping polish from El Corazón called Mint.

Here’s the final mani including topcoat:

I love “open motifs” like this one that allows the base colour to shine through!

Here are the two polishes I used:

I have bought all my three Lacquer Lust polishes at Norway Nails. She doesn’t have this one in stock any more though, but she’s got other pretties!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Nice colour, mesmerizing rainbows, good polish

Buy again: Yep

Lacquer Lust ~ Amethyst

Lacquer Lust ~ Amethyst

Purple linear holo

It’s sunshine and it calls for another holo! I’ve got some really pretty ones just waiting for me to chose them – and Amethyst was the lucky chosen one today.

The formula is good, and the polish is easy to work with. I used two coats for desired opacity and the drying time between the coats is pretty good.

I went out into the sunshine, and whoa, the rainbows showed up on my nails. Take a look – here’s two coats and no topcoat:

If that’s not pretty then I don’t know what is!

Low light picture. It almost looks like a scattered holo in low lights.

I stamped on it. I chose heart-y designs from MondleBunster plate BM-411 and I stamped with Kiko 618 Orchid Pink from the Mirror Collection. I applied a layer of Poshé topcoat before I took my pictures. Here’s my final mani in the sun:

And here’s the same thing in lower lights so you can see the designs I chose.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Pretty good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: It’s a high quality polish with pretty rainbows in it.

Buy again: Yes

Lacquer Lust ~ Un-Teal We Meet Again

Lacquer Lust ~ Un-Teal We Meet Again

Teal linear holo

There was a time where I thought that my favourite colour nail polish was purple, and that nothing could change that. That was before I got my first teal. Regular readers here know that I have a soft spot for teal, I think it can be such a gorgeous colour! Allow me to show you my latest teal, namely Lacquer Lust’s “Un-Teal We Meet Again”. I think it’s a stupid name, but let’s find out if I like the polish, shall we?

It’s my first and only Lacquer Lust, but since this is not the cheapest brand on the block, I did have high expectations. The formula is no less than great, and so is the coverage. It takes two easy and fast drying coats to achieve full opacity. And wow, this polish is amazing. Take a look for yourself if you don’t believe me:

Is that a Me-polish, or what???

Here’s a low light picture. It is a bit dusty out of the flashlight, but as you can see it still shows a corner of a rainbow in low lights, so I’m willing to forgive the dustiness.

It took me a while to figure out what to do with it. I ended up with dots. I used Ellagee’s “Chase the Clouds Away” and I painted four relatively big dots diagonally across each nail. Then I made three smaller dots on each side of them. And when it was dry I topcoated it with Ellagee’s topcoat Glass. Here’s the final result:

Low light picture:

I think these two polishes look really great together. And they also have a thing in common: They both have hearts on the bottle:

I really like the result of this! What about you? And do you always know how your manis are going to end up before you start doing them? Please do share in the comments below :)

I bought Lacquer Lust from norwaynails.com – they also sell Ellagee polishes.
