Great Lakes Lacquer ~ Ohana

Great Lakes Lacquer ~ Ohana

Fuchsia jelly linear holographic filled with multichrome flakes, iridescent flakes and holo micro flakes

"Ohana" is a HHC Facebook group custom from October 2017. It's beautiful and I was so lucky to find it in a blog sale recently. Why anybody want to sell this beauty is beyond me!

The formula is good. I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is good.

There's so much going on in "Ohana" that I left it like that. No nail art, no extra bling, no nothing - just pure prettiness straight out of the bottle.

Here's two coats and a layer of topcoat.

Femme Fatale ~ Isle Of Cythera

Femme Fatale ~ Isle Of Cythera

Subdued forest-green with a strong linear holo effect and golden sparkle

"Isle Of Cythera" is from Femme Fatale's "The Birth Of Venus" collection from August 2016.

The formula is flawless and I used two really easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

The striped hearts stamp is from the stamping plate "Celebration BPX-L014". I stamped with Colour Alike's stamping polish "Green Light".

This is the final manicure, including a layer of topcoat. This photo is taken with flash.

Here's the same thing under a lamp.

This is "Isle Of Cythera" alone; two coats and no topcoat yet. The photo is taken with flash.

Here are the things I used today.

I love strong holos and I love "Isle Of Cythere" even though this green isn't exactly my colour. The neon green stamp on top of it made it more "me", if you know what I mean.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Really good

Finish: Linear holo
Overall impression: Great rainbows and formula

Polished For Days ~ Oogie Boogie

Polished For Days ~ Oogie Boogie

Neon green nail polish with pink to green shifting iridescent flakes and scattered holographic micro flakes

"Oogie Boogie" is from The Nightmare Collection from Halloween 2019.

The formula is good and I used two coats for full opacity. The first coat seems a bit sheer but it builds up nicely with coat number two. The drying time is good.

I added little Christmassy stickers onto my nails. I picked them in pink and gold because I thought these two colours would complement the base colour nicely, which they did!

Here's the final result including a layer of topcoat.

I really like the look of this!

This is "Oogie Boogie" alone; two coats and no topcoat. The flakies are amazing!

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Flakie
Overall impression: Nice colour, good flakies, all in all a great polish

Vapid Lacquer ~ Milky Way (Dirty Holo XXX)

Multichrome that shifts from navy blue to purple to magenta to deep, with the addition of silver holo flecks

Hey everybody! Merry Christmas. I hope the holidays will bring joy to you and your families! ♥

"Milky Way" is from Vapid's Cosmos Collection from 2019. It's a lovely colour shifter with added silver holo flecks.

The formula is great and I used two easy coats for full opacity. The drying time is really good.

I added three pink/purple iridescent little stars to each nail. They're attached with ordinary topcoat.

Here's what I ended up with.
