Envy Lacquer First Anniversary Trio: Swatch and Review

Hello ladies and gents. Can you believe it's been an entire year since I swatched the very first collection for Envy Lacquer!?! I know I can't. I guess it's true...time flies when you're having fun!

Anyways, on to business! This blog post is dedicated to the Anniversary Trio that Melody is releasing on April 24th. These three gorgeous polishes are glittery, flaky, holo-y yummy goodness! The trio consists of a gold, rose gold and silver polish. See all the deets below. :-)

Up first, Compassion! This is a stunning gold polish. It was the first one that I picked up to swatch, and I didn't know what to do with myself when I put on the first coat and realized it didn't really need a second coat. It went on super easy, and had great coverage. However...in my confounded state, I went ahead and put another coat on. Sooo, here you see two coats with gloss top coat on my index and middle finger, matte top coat on my ring and pinkie. The first photo is under artificial lights in my light box, and the second is a full sun photo.

Up next, Love. This is an absolutely gorgeous rose gold with lots of holo-y goodness (I made that up, and I really like it. Can you tell?) This is easily applied in one coat, maybe a slightly generous coat, but it has awesome coverage. It is shown here with gloss top coat on my index and middle finger, and matte top coat on my ring and pinkie. Shown under artificial lights in my light box in the first photo, full sun in the second.

Last, but most definitely not least is Strength. This is a silver glittery, holo-y beauty. Shown as two coats (pretty sure this one could pass with a single coat as well!) gloss top coat on index and middle finger, matte on ring and pinkie. First two photos are shown under artificial light in my light box, and in full sun. Check her out!

Push Your Mani August: Butterflies

Hello again! I opted for a quick and easy mani the other day because I was short on time getting out of the house. I used Envy Lacquer "Pride" topped with a single coat of "Sinful Summer, both from the Seven Sins of Summer collection. I love how fun this glitter is! It's quickly becoming one of my faves!

The third challenge for Push Your Mani for the month of august was butterflies. I opted for a more subtle, abstract take. Since I loved this base color combo so much, I decided to keep it and just add the butterfly stamps to it later on!

As previously mentioned, this is a base of Envy Lacquer "Pride" topped with "Sinful Summer", stamped with M Polish Berry Best Friend using Cici&Sisi 07. I'm soooooo excited that I got my grubby little paws on this LE polish!

What are your favorite stamping images? Do you like floral? Abstract? Geometric?

Polish on, lovelies!

Nails Like Lace - Neon Rainbow Collab

I'm so excited that I got to participate in another Rainbow Collab hosted by Nails Like Lace! The first one was so much fun. This time, though...it was NEON rainbows! Take a look below for my submission, and the full collaboration!

I used Color Club Harp On It for my base color, and many of the China Glaze Electric Nights Polishes. :-)

Full group shot. So fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Envy Lacquer Swatch and Review

***I was not compensated for this review. 

I received these polishes in exchange for swatching. 

This is my review, all opinions are my own.***

I'm a little late in posting this, but trust me, these are worth it!

I was honored to swatch for Envy Lacquer, and I love everything she sent to me! These polishes are unique, and fun. Her launch is set for April 25th, so head on over to her Instagram or Facebook pages to see what she's got up her sleeves!

Up first, Envy! This polish is the company's namesake, and what's the age old saying? GREEN with Envy. This is a cool green micro-glitter in a lightly colored base with scattered holo glitters. I feel like I catch a slight linear holo with this one as well.

This swatch shows two easy coats with no undie, plus a gloss topcoat on my index and middle fingers, as well as a matte topcoat on my ring and pinkie finger. It has good coverage, just don't over work it!

Next up is Jenn's Haunted Mansion. This polish is SO MUCH fun! This one is a deep cool purple jelly shimmer with black and light purple flakies, small blue glitters, micro holo, and iridescent bar glitters. A gorgeous Heinz 57!

This swatch shows three thin coats with no undie, plus a gloss topcoat on my index and middle fingers, as well as a matte topcoat on my ring and pinkie finger. It's a sheer coverage and can be patchy, but it's pretty easy to work with, just don't over work this one, either.

Last but definitely not least, is Maymoon's Paradise! This polish has a sheer aqua base and is loaded with aqua hex glitters, blue and yellow square glitters, and small yellow glitters. I love the look of this one over the black and white!

This swatch shows one medium-thick coat with a black/white undie, plus a gloss topcoat on my index and middle fingers, as well as a matte topcoat on my ring and pinky finger. Since it is a jelly, it does require multiple coats. The swatch below the black/white picture shows 3 coats, no undie, with a gloss topcoat.

Overall, I loved these polishes! Once I figured out that they can't be overworked, they went on super easily and had good coverage in just 2-3 coats. Envy could actually be done in one medium-thick coat I think. I will likely be adding more of these to my collection!

Thanks for choosing me to swatch for you!
