Loaded lacquer Brain Breath

Happy Halloween everybody!!!
This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but I had a few issues with my pictures, so I'm a day late... but better late than never, right?!

If you've been following my blog for a while, you know I love pretty/ugly colors, especially the murky green ones like Zombie Zest, Walker Bait and It's Alive. So when I saw a murky green polish in the Zombie Hayride collection, I knew instantly it would be another winner.

Loaded Lacquer Brain Breath is a murky, slimy green jelly base with a very strong copper, almost pink shimmer.

The formula is a touch on the thicker side, but still very easy to apply. Because of the jelly base, you do need 3 coats to get it fully opaque, but it dries so fast, 3 coats isn't a problem at all! Because it's a little thicker, you could get away with 2 thick coats, but I prefer 3 thin coats.

I love this color, but I think the majority will say this is a disgusting color to put on your nails. But what did you expect from a polish that's called Brain Breath... it has to be a little disgusting! I can just picture a zombie grunting to another zombie before a hot date: "I just ate lunch, do I have Brain Breath?"

The shimmer in this polish is what makes this a winner for me. It gives it just a little extra and it makes it pop on my nails. I've had so many comments on my nails today, positive and not so positive ones, but this baby gets noticed! If you like your polish a little different than most, I'd definitely recommend checking this one out!

Loaded Lacquer is available here, but the site is currently closed for a holiday and restock. The shop will open again in November and I can't wait, as the Holiday collection will be revealed. I already know I need every single one of them (obsessed much? Lol!)

What do you think about this polish? Gorgeous or disgusting color?

Loaded Lacquer Glitter Graveyard

As soon as I heard Heather from Loaded Lacquer was coming out with a Halloween collection, I knew I had to have it. Even before seeing any pictures, there was no doubt in my mind I would love every single polish and she hasn't disappointed with her Zombie Hayride collection!

The collection consists of 4 polishes and today I have the first one to show you.

Loaded Lacquer Glitter Graveyard is a black jelly base, packed with black holographic multi-sized hex, silver holographic multi-sized hex, holographic red squares, rainbow micro shimmer and a dusting of reflective pigment. The pigment won't show up unless you are in the dark and with a bright light on your nails. I have to say, it was loads of fun during my Zumba class with all the flashing lights!

The formula is absolutely perfect! I layered just 1 coat over 1 coat of black and there was no need to fish, place or dab, the glitter went on smoothly. You can definitely get this opaque on its own in 2 - 3 coats, but I like it better over black as you don't get as much glitter on your nails and all the individual glitter stands out more. It dries really fast and shiny, but I would recommend a good coat of top coat to smooth the glitter out.

Isn't that gorgeous? I love it so much, I can't stop staring at my nails. I actually crawled underneath my deks with my flashlight app to try to capture the reflective pigment in a picture, but no such luck. If you want to see a great picture of the pigment, check out the bottle shot on the Loaded Lacquer site.

I'm a sucker for Halloween and Holiday polish in general, but this year I've been quite good at not overbuying. This might have something to do with the fact that I really don't like the mainstream brands Halloween collections, but I'm still very proud of myself for saving my money for gorgeous collections like this one!

Do you like Halloween polish as much as I do and which one's your favorite?
