Candy Lacquer Modern Love

Hi guys, today I'm showing you an awesome indie polish by Candy Lacquer.

This is Modern Love, it's got black and white bar glitter, black and white diamonds and squares, black and white small glitters and white heart shape glitters. 

I layered this over OPI Ate Berries In The Canaries.

This is two coats of Modern Love over two coats of OPI Ate Berries in the Canaries. You do have to dab the glitters in the right spots to get even coverage accross the nail, and even then it doesn't always work out (see my ring finger). The problem with this is that you get an uneven coverage of the lacquer base which makes it even chunkier and can cause bubbles. You also have to fish out the heart glitters which is a pain. Also, I can't hear any balls in the polish when you shake it, there could be one, but for this kind of glitter, you really need at least two to break up the glitter. I suggest standing this on its head for a while before using it. 

Candy Lacquer is available from Candy Lacquer Etsy Shop for $8 per 15mL

Glitter Gradient: Candy Lacquer Black Ice & Zoya Sooki

Hi guys, today I'm showing you another Candy Lacquer polish! 

I thought I'd play with this one a bit, and I really like the result. I used a base of Zoya Sooki which looks a little too orange in this photo. I then used Candy Lacquer Black Ice and did a glittter gradient. If you're going to try this I'd do a black polish tip first, otherwise you'll end up with your nails looking really chunky like mine with too many coats of Black Ice lol

Candy Laquer Peyton & China Glaze Bahemian Escape

Hi guys!

So this week I did my first "indie polish" brand order.. I ordered from Candy Lacquer on Etsy.

In my oppinion the problem with indie sellers is that they are often out of stock, don't get me wrong, I understand that they are handmade and that takes time and money, but it is frustrating sometimes. Before going indie shopping also keep in mind that these shops go on holidays so you may not be able to order when you want.

Regardless of this, the service was very good and shipping was quick, the products were well packaged as well.

The first polish I'll show you is called Peyton, it's a spectraflair topcoat! The formula is nice and easy to apply. While it's not the most IN YOUR FACE holo around, it does have a fair degree of rainbow. In my pictures it's a little subtler as I had barely any sun!

I layered one coat of Peyton over China Glaze Bahemian Escape.

Candy Lacquer is available on Etsy HERE. Most polish retails for $8 per 15mL, but Peyton if I remember correctly was $12.
