Swatchy Switch - To Dance With a Peacock

Howdy and happy hump day!

Me again :D With another Lilypad Lacquer swatch, this time 'To Dance With a Peacock'

'To Dance With a Peacock' is another holo-colour-shift polish that has a very deep teal base. When light hits it the colours scatter like a rainbow, it's so gorgeous. You can also see why it's called what it is, the colours are just like a peacock!

This is another of those polishes where the colour changes every time you move and you can't help but stare at it. I've shown 2 coats plus top coat, but to be honest you don't really need the top coat because it dries to a wonderful shine all on its own, I merely add it because I have a tendency to chip my polish through day to day chores ;) It goes on easily and smoothly, pretty much perfect yet again!

You can buy Lilypad Lacquer products direct from creator on their Etsy store, or via what I call collab-stores (online stores that sell a whole bunch of brands together) such as Norway Nails.

Now then, back to work with me (if I can stop staring at my nails for long enough...). And a poorly child to take care of :(

Until next time!

Switchy Swatch - Caribbean Crush

Howdy!

Today my Lilypad Lacquer order arrived! I got totally over excited when I saw the package in the mailbox (and my daughter was fascinated with the little froggy stickers on the envelope!). I am sooooo in love with them! The colours I ordered are all absolutely gorgeous, and I'm hoping to get some more in the future!

So, here is the first: Caribbean Crush

This is a very sparkly holographic colour shift polish. It seems to be primarily a teal colour, but when you move around in any source of light it shifts from teal to blue to purple (to a point where I can't stop staring at it...)

This is the teal colour that shows most of the time. It is super sparkly and such a gorgeous shade.

This pic shows the purple colour shift that occurs

And this one shows the blue shade that also appears

And finally, this one shows the full colour change (albeit a bit blurrily :P)
This was 3 coats colour plus top coat

I can't wait to try out the other colours I ordered , they are all so pretty! It was really easy to apply, very smooth, over all the perfect consistency. I definitely recommend Lilypad Lacquer! Hopefully we will get some sunshine here soon so I can take some pics in lovely outdoor lighting (in northern England we are pretty lucky to get more than 3 sunny days a year hehe :p)

(Looking at these pics, I defo need to stop being such hand sanitiser addict, my hands have gone so dry and my cuticles look so crap!)

Right then, I'm off to watch How To Train Your Dragon with my little monkey :D

Until next time!
