Loaded Lacquer Tornado in a trailer park

I was in the mood for an over the top, hysterical, it hurts my eyes, but it's so pretty kind of glitter. I had a browse through my stash and this just jumped out at me! I don't think I own anything quite as hysterical (in a very good way) as this!

Loaded Lacquer Tornado in a trailer park is a clear based polish, packed with every single shape, size and color glitter you can imagine. It's got circles, hearts, squares, triangles, butterflies, bars... you name it, it's in there!

Why is this so jampacked with every imaginable glitter you ask? Well, that's because Heather (the owner and creator of Loaded Lacquer) throws all the left over glitter from all of her polishes in this mix. So every time she releases a new polish, new glitter is added to the Tornado mix, which means you could potentially buy this polish over and over again and get a different polish every time.

The formula is really nice for such a packed polish. The glitter comes out easily, but if you want every single shape on your nail, you might need to do a tiny bit of fishing. I personally just paint 1 -2 coats and see what I end up with. It dries really fast and shiny, but adding a top coat to smooth it out is a very good idea.

If you love a nice, over the top glitter, you'll absolutely love this polish! If not, well... my advise would be to stay far far away from this one :D

 

Loaded Lacquer is available on the website, check out the restock page to see when this polish will be available again.

Are you a glitter lover like me or do you prefer more subtle polishes?

Zoya Dream

I was looking through my stash last weekend and was surprised and a little embarrassed to see all the polishes I have that I really wanted, but never actually wore on my nails. I decided I'd change that, picked them all out of my helmers and set them aside to be worn in the next few months. Today's polish is one of those polishes and it has to be the one I wanted the most, but couldn't get my hands on, until my friend Holly send it to me.

Zoya Dream is a gorgeous deep blue base, packed with a scattered holographic glitter. It was first released as part of the 2013 Zenith collection, but luckily it should still be available at the normal Zoya retail places.

The formula is really nice, it flows on the nail without any problems, is opaque in 2 thin, easy coats and it dries fast and shiny.

This polish stood in my stash for... oh, I don't know how long, but it must be close to a year now, without ever making it onto my nails. Shame on me... Just look at that color! Why I never painted it before, I'll never know, because it's just stunning!

I love a blue nail and this is no exception. It looks very flattering with my skintone and the scattered holographic gives it a lot of depth and makes it sparkle on the nail. I absolutely love it!

Do you have a lot of untried polishes or do you wear every single one of them straight away?

OPI Christmas gone plaid

I know Christmas is over, but I always tend to go a little crazy for the holiday collections and there's just not enough time around Christmas to show all the beautiful polishes I add to my collection, so you'll see a few of them popping up during the rest of the year. And let's be honest, this gorgeous polish is not only perfect for the holidays, but all year round!

OPI Christmas gone plaid is a gorgeous deep, vampy green cream and was released as part of the Gwen Stefani Holiday 2014 collection.

The formula is absolutely perfect! It glides on the nail like butter, is opaque in 2 smooth and thin coats and it dries fast and really shiny. The only bad thing about this polish is that it stained my nails pretty bad, but let's be honest, I love the color so much, I really didn't care!

It's such a gorgeous, deep green shade, that you'd expect it to look black, but somehow it never does. You can always tell it's green, even in very dim lighting. I love these types of shades, Lincoln Park after dark is one of my all time favorite OPI's and this gorgeous green is right up there.

This polish was released as part of a Limited Edition holiday collection, but you should still be able to find it everywhere and let's just hope they'll make this part of the permanent collection, because it's a classic, stunning shade.

What's your favorite dark polish?

piCture pOlish Instinct

Am I the only one who sometimes wishes she has her own, personal black light at home? Just to play around with all the fun stuff that has come out that only glows under a black light. Today is one of those days, but sadly, I'll have to wait until I'm at the gym before I can fully appreciate the polish I have to show today.

Picture Polish Instinct is a gorgeous ocean blue cream, created in collaboration with Tam, OhMyGoshPolish on Instagram. If you want to see this polish glow, Lacquertude has awesome swatches!

The formula is very nice, it flows on the nail with ease, is opaque in just 2 thin coats and dries fast and shiny.

It's such a pretty color, but I wasn't sure at first if I liked it on my skin tone. I usually stay away from this type of color, but when I was ordering from the site, I just had to add this to my cart, because it glows under black light! How fun is that?

Luckily, I do really like this on my nails, but it did take me a day or 2 to get used to my nails in this color. If you, like me, don't own a black light, I think you'll still enjoy this polish, because it's a gorgeous cream.

Picture Polish is fast becoming on of my favorite brands and, lucky me, I just added 17 to me stash, so you'll be seeing a lot more of this brand on my blog!

You can order Picture Polish online at their site, they ship to a lot of countries, but also have a list of international stockists listed on their site.

What's your favorite Picture Polish?

Dollish Polish Yo-ho Yo-ho a pirates life for me

Another Monday, another new week! Did you all have a nice weekend? I had a nice and quite couple of days at home with my hubbie. We went out to lunch, did some chores around the house and just spend some quality time together. I have to say, it's one of my favorite ways to spend my weekend.

Today I have a gorgeous polish to show you, Dollish Polish Yo-ho Yo-ho a pirates life for me is a red jelly base, packed with blue, gold, red and magenta micro glitter as far as I can tell. This polish was inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and it's of course based on the famous pirate song.

The formula is really nice for such a dense glitter. It's easy to paint and opaque in 2 thin coats. The glitter comes out easily, without overloading the nail and it dries fast and shiny.

As you know I love my reds and this gorgeous glitter is no exception. I love the deep red base, paired with the multi colored glitter. It gives it a lot of depth and makes this a really fun polish to wear.

The fact that I keep think of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp in their pirate outfits... well, that's just an added bonus!

Unfortunately this polish was discontinued, but did you know Dollish Polish has an Etsy store where she sells discounted polishes? This can be discontinued polishes or newer ones, she did have this one for sale a few weeks ago and she does regular restocks. If you want to check what she has to offer right now, click here!

Are you a Pirates of the Caribbean fan like me, or did you skip the movies?
