Lacquered Loves

Hey guys! If you follow me on Instagram ( @lacqueredloves ), you'll have noticed that for the month of June, I decided to join the 30 Days of Untrieds Challenge created by Amanda from @secretlifeofnails and Jennifer from @the_polished_pineapple . It's really a fantastic concept. As nail polish collectors, we tend to get stuck in the rut of buying tons of polish, but forget to actually wear them. So, as I was sifting through my collection the other night to see which polishes I was going to include, I realized I had quite a few polishes that belonged to the same collections. I thought to myself: why not swatch the polishes that belong to the same collections as one entry, but make a blog post about them?! This way, I can fit even more polishes into my challenge and also create blog post content that isn't redundant. So, here we are! My entry for Day Four will be three polishes from the China Glaze Spring 2015 Road Trip collection that have been sitting patiently waiting for...

Hey guys! I'm so excited that October is finally here. Halloween is quickly becoming one of my favorite holidays and this year I hope to get in as many Halloween inspired manicures as I possibly can! Of course I'll be sharing them all with you lovelies, and I hope to see some amazing nail art from all of you as well. To kick off the month, I chose to do KBShimmer Be Scareful from last year's Fall collection. If you want to find out more about this polish, keep on reading! Be Scareful is a white crelly base packed full of black and orange glitters. There are small hexes, larger hexes, circles, triangles, and even stars, which were harder to get onto the nail. You'd probably have to do some fishing if you really want them. This polish also glows in the dark, which was quite the surprise from me! I really had no idea until I went to bed last night. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a decent photo of this glow-in-the-dark awesomeness.  The formula is a tad she...

Hi everyone! Today I have for you a quick NOTD post sharing with you this amazing indie polish I've been sporting on my nails for the past couple of days. If you want to bask in the jaw dropping awesomeness of this nail polish with me and see what I think of it, keep on reading!! Elevation Polish The Sea Was Red, Indoor Lighting Elevation Polish The Sea was Red definitely looks like a golden holographic polish in the bottle, but once applied it takes on different tones. There's a red to orange to gold/champagne shift when you're looking at it in low lighting, but once the light (artificial or sunlight) hits the surface of your nails, all the holographic goodness comes into play. It is strong. And I love it. Indoor Lighting, Label Holographic polishes are probably one of my favorite finishes just because they can be so beautiful and in-your-face . They're usually easy to apply, quick drying, and aren't a mess to take off like shimmers and glitters a...
