Literary Lacquers- Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster & Marilla's Amethyst Brooch

Hello lovelies! I had to put my other post on hold while I wait for a response, SOOOO, I figured I'd show you a New-to-Me brand - Literary Lacquers.

I actually received these polishes in a mystery swap from my friend Jenny, and I love them. I have been eyeballing Literary Lacquers for a few months, and I am so glad I got to finally try them out.

PAN GALACTIC GARGLE BLASTER 

A beautiful teal blue holo with holo glitter. Formula was perfection. I used 3 thin, fast drying coats + HKGirl topcoat. The picture above is natural light without and with flash. You can really see the holo glitters in the photo above. The photos below are in the Sun, showing off that glorious holo. Such a beautiful color!


MARILLAS AMETHYST BROOCH

An Amethyst purple with purple and blue micro glitter and shimmer. Same excellent formula. Pictures show 3 thin coats + HKGirl topcoat. Both photos are in the sun to show off all that shimmery goodness.


Overall, I am VERY impressed with my first Literary Lacquers! The wear time on both of these was excellent for me, with only minimal tipwear. Annnnd I have already ordered a few more so you will definitely be seeing more Literary Lacquers here!

If you are interested in grabbing some for yourself, they are available on ETSY. You should also like them on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM for sneak peeks and news on restocks/new colors etc..

Aurora Lacquers- Daffodil Sorbet & Hydrangea Surprise

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed my first giveaway! Don't worry, there will be more in the future. Anywho, today I want to show you a new(ish) indie brand, Aurora Lacquers. So far, the colors I've seen and tried have been really nice. Let's take a look.

Daffodil Sorbet 

Daffodil Sorbet is a pale, buttery yellow créme. The formula was a tad thick but not unmanageable. My pictures show 2 coats + topcoat. Dry time was average.
I really like this color, the opacity is excellent.

Hydrangea Surprise 

Hydrangea Surprise is a pale sky blue crelly with pink, purple and blue glitter. This is really pretty, but you guys know I love blue nail polish. Formula on this one was EXCELLENT. Perfect consistency, the glitters dispersed evenly and laid flat. Pictures are 3 coats + topcoat. Dry time was good.


Overall, my first experience with Aurora Lacquers is a good one! I have 2 more polishes to show you tomorrow from them and they are GORG ;) If you are interested in checking out Aurora Lacquers for yourself you should check their FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM. You can buy some pretties HERE.
