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! So I've been wanting to publish blog posts more often and I figured once a week sounded doable for me. From here on out, there shall be new blog posts up every Sunday! Here's hoping I manage to stick to this schedule, but I think I'll be able to manage. Anyways, today I have an exciting collection for you! I've swatched Nine Zero Lacquer's Halloween 2016 Collection. If you want to see these polishes and know what I think about them, keep on reading!! Nine Zero Lacquer is an indie brand by the lovely Jessface90. As a fan of her's, it was only natural for me to eventually try her brand and, I must say, I'm impressed. With that being said, on to the swatches! First up we have, Tricks No Treats - my personal favorite from this collection! The white crelly base is fresh and stark against the bright orange, green, and purple metallic shredded glitter scattered within. Here I have three coats plus one coat of Glisten & Glow HK Girl top coat. ...

Hey guys!! So sorry for the lack of posts lately. School started up for me again a couple of weeks ago and I'm still getting used to the schedule. And not only that, I also had a severe case of carpal tunnel just as school was starting; my left-hand was basically useless to me up until this past weekend. Yikes. Luckily I've healed up well enough to be able to bring to you my top five favorite nail polishes for the fall. I cannot tell you how excited I am for this time of year! Granted, there isn't much of a seasonal change in South Florida, but it does get less humid and sticky and if that isn't a reason to rejoice, I don't know what is! So if you'd like to find out more about my favorite nail polish for this time of year keep on reading! First up we have Butter London Shag. I must say Butter London isn't a brand that I've mentioned often, but for a very long time it was my favorite. Their formulas are usually very smooth and easy to apply and they ...

Hey guys! For today's post, I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorite nail polish bloggers that I've discovered over the years. This set of girls have clearly built up a strong following of their own, but they deserve the shout outs nonetheless. They inspire people on a daily basis and there's something beautiful and magical about that!! (Plus, hard work and dedication always deserves recognition, amirite?) So, keep on reading to find out just who these special ladies are! 1. Mary from aLoveTart    Mary was the first ever YouTuber that I ever stumbled upon almost five years ago. I specifically searched on Google "how to paint nails correctly" because I was tired of biting my nails and I figured learning how to paint them properly would be a step on the road to recovery. Her How to: The Perfect Salon Manicure video was the first one to pop up and it literally changed my life. I also watched her How to: Remove Nail Polish From Your Cuticle...
