Cameo Colours Lacquers: The Floral Feelings Collection

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Today I have a gorgeous collection by Cameo Colours Lacquers. The Floral Feelings collection consists of 5 polishes: 4 metallic holos and 1 holo/glitter topper. 

I have the 4 opaque polishes shown here as 3 coats topped with KBShimmer Clearly On Top. Since I have pretty long nails I felt I needed that extra coat to ensure I had no VNL. If you have average length nails you should be able to get away with 2 coats fairly easy. The formula for these are excellent. They apply smooth and even, no dragging/pulling or flooding of the cuticles or sides. they also have excellent dry time. The holo is more noticeable in person, it's definitely not an in your face holo, more of a subtle kiss of it, so it doesn't take away from the other elements of the polishes.

Press Sample

I'm feeling pretty salty that I couldn't make it to PolishCon this past weekend. 

So to brighten my mood I figured I'd share my swatches of one of the AMAZING polishes from the Anonamaker box #4. 

If you don't know what the Anonamaker  Project is...WHY? Where have you been hiding? 

Basically it's a box that grew from the bitchiness from the anonymous feature in the Acetone Alley Facebook group. I swear that feature keeps me entertained. So. Many. Shenanigans. 

It's a "bi-monthly offering of sassy polishes and other items made by six of your favorite brands."

 This round contains goodies from Cuter Cuticles, Pretty Jelly, Contrary Polish, Cameo Colours, ellagee and Lollipop Posse. All future boxes will feature a different mix of brands.

Since the theme of this box is anonymity you don't get to see what product belongs to which brand until you get them in your hands!

Model City Polish: Summer Collection 2016 (Picture Heavy)

Press Sample

Hi guys! Today I have the Model City Summer Collection to show you. This collection consists of 6 vibrant polishes with holographic pigment and ultra holo glitter of various sizes. I did my best to try and capture all the sparkle and to show you how they all look in different kinds of light. YOU will notice that the holo in some appear more intense than in others, that's mostly because my camera was flipping out over the bright colors and the sparkle. LOL This collection will launch TODAY at 7pm CST. 

These all have wonderful formulas, not to thick but just enough to give them good control during application. They dry down fairly quick and the glitters settle into the polish nicely so there isn't any texture to them at all. I have all 6 shown here as 2 coats topped with Serum No 5 Need For Speed Top Coat. 

Now it's time for swatches...

Superchic Lacquer: Project Runway Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hi guys! I have a late night post for ya tonight. I just got these late Sunday and had to try and rush to get them swatched since they are launching tomorrow! I really wanted to show you how beautifully holo these are, but the sun just wasn't cooperating with me. Soooooo since it was cloudy and gloomy I had to use my trusty ol' Ottie! While I didn't manage to capture some of the holo-ie goodness, these photos really don't do justice to this collection. Trust me when I say they are super sparkly and rainbowy. Do you like how I just make up words? LOL

The Superchic Lacquer Project Runway Collection consists of 8 "SuperHolo" shades, basically a holo pigmented base packed full of holo micro glitters. I have all 8 swatched here as 1 coat, yes 1, topped with 1 coat of Superchic Marvel Top Coat. Jen has said that since these are "high saturation" colors, they can possibly cause some staining. I didn't have any problems, just make sure to use a good quality base coat to prevent any issues. The holo is very noticeable in all of these, both scattered and linear, it just depends on the light and angle to determine which you will see.  

The formula for these is on the thicker side, personally I prefer a thick formula. I find that with a thick formula you get better control, making application easier and requiring less clean up, if any at all. Just make sure to not over work the polish when applying or you will have some pulling since it very glitter dense. I did use only one thick coat for each of these but you could definitely use 2 thinner coats if you prefer. If you do, just be patient and allow the first coat to dry down completely first or you will have some clumping. Since these are very glitter dense they do dry down textured, but not at all abrasive. On a scale of 1-5 (1 = no texture, 5 = rough) I'd say these are about a 3/3.5. I only used 1 coat of top coat because 1) I was running low ( I actually used the last of my Marvel Top Coat on these swatches) and 2) I wanted to see how hungry these polishes were. At first I thought I could get away with 1 coat but they did eat my top coat just a bit so I will definitely do 2 next time I wear them.  

Let's get into the swatches now...
