Alchemy Lacquers - Gilded Dreidel and Tekhelet

Well folks, it's the second evening of the festival of lights, Happy Hanukkah! Even if you don't celebrate this holiday, you can still enjoy the two fabulous polishes I have for you.
I have two Hanukkah polishes by Alchemy Lacquers, and they are nothing short of amazing.
They're both blue, and lovely...and you know how I love my blues!

First up, I have "Gilded Dreidel".


Isn't that the most magical macro of a polish, like, EVER???
I love every single thing about this polish. Every flake, every speck of holographic and iridescent glitter in it! 

Gilded Dreidel is a "Blue based, gold to silver shifting metallic nail lacquer with multi sized silver, blue and dark blue metallic and holographic glitters."


It's a metallic, blue dream.
In my pictures I am wearing three thin coats of Gilded Dreidel and one coat of Seche Vite.


Here's a second, and equally awesome macro for you!


Next I have Tekhelet, a blue glitter bomb in a bottle!


Tekhelet is a "Blue, silver, and holographic micro-glitter in a clear base."


For a "glitter" polish, I was surprised at how easy it was to make it opaque. I used three easy coats and one coat of Seche Vite.



Once again, I've fallen in love with Alchemy Lacquers and all the awesomeness happening over there. I can't wait to see what else is in store!
Thanks for stopping by!

Model City Polish - Christmas With a Chance of Snow

Hello there! I wanted to fast-track this polish, because it is Christmas themed. I just couldn't waste any time. I will have the rest of the Holiday collection by Model City Polish later this week.

Today, I have for you "Christmas With a Chance of Snow".


Christmas With a Chance of Snow is a clear based glitter topper jam-packed with green and red holographic hex and teeny little matte white hex. As a topper, I am certain that this would be adorable. I opted to build it up and make my nails ultra glittery!


In my pictures I have on 3 coats of the polish, one coat of Gelous and one coat of Seche Vite. This polish is MAJORLY loaded with glitter, so at first it's a little bit thick. I don't mind having a thick layer on my nails, but for those that don't, one coat of glitter with color under it would be great!


This is one part of five polishes in Nina's Holiday collection for Model City Polish. 
I love this Christmas polish, it is super festive.
Aside from it being a smidge on the thick side, application was great!
Check back later this week for more goodness from Model City!

Franken Party!

Happy Sunday everyone! I have yet another blue polish to show you today! It may not be super unique, but I love it so much because I made it myself!
I recently had a little get-together and some friends and I whipped up our own polishes, just for fun. As you may or may not remember I am a lover of all things blue. So, of course it wouldn't be right for me to make something on my own in any other color, right?

I'm not really sure how best to describe this color. It's a very opaque jelly, with shimmery flakes and a nice holo. It only took one coat to get great coverage with this one of a kind polish.


What do you think? I'm pretty proud of my creation!



Have a great week everyone!

Alchemy Lacquers - Nightshade

Hi friends! I have another lovely shade by Alchemy Lacquers for you today.
 As with every other Alchemy Lacquer I have, this one is beautiful too.
Nightshade is a "Very dark purple jelly nail lacquer with a very strong green shimmer."


Gorgeous, as always! I love this color, the polish itself however didn't level out until I put a topcoat on it. To me, that's not an issue at all, because I would never go without topcoat. This was just something that I noticed. 
In my pictures I have on three coats of Nightshade and one coat of Seche Vite.



Alchemy Lacquers just released four new polishes just for Christmas and Hanukkah. With any luck, they are waiting for me at my house right now! 

Stay tuned for more awesomeness from Alchemy Lacquers.
