Lacquistry is BACK!!!!

SO SO happy Jenna is back up and running! After taking QUITE a while off from her etsy shop to concentrate on customs, then replacing HUNDREDS of bottles of polish unasked, at her own expense because she heard a few glitters may have been bleeding (what character!!) she's back in spades with a new fall collection, a Halloween coming up, a small Thanksgiving, etc etc. so many beautiful glitters on the way! I snagged the full set of six fall colors and have two here today. I love to layer over opaque creams, so I started with two coats each of the dreamy creamy FingerPaints Catwalk Cream, a perfect dupe for the 60's appliances color Harvest Gold. And if you know what that is, you're over 50. The brown I chose is Catrice's Bruno Brownani (that name,really???) a dense deep chocolate cream. Two thin layers of the goldendelicious Laquistry Corn Maize and the red/gold/brown glitterparty that is Cornucopia, a heavy layer of Gelous and Seche Vite and I am ready for fall!
Here are Jenna's descriptions:

Corn Maize:  Corn Maize is poppin’ with varying shades of yellow, gold, and even a bit of white “kernels” in a clear base sprinkled with crystalline yellow glitter. Dappled throughout are pieces of golden corn silk- (bar glitter).

Cornucopia: Cornucopia is a medley of 25 different micas and glitters ranging from deep browns, oranges and gold to rich reds, golden yellows, and copper in a slightly brown tinged base. Cornucopia’s largest glitter is mini-hex.

Just try to catch her next opening, HERE but watch out, I may run you over!

Lippmann Believe with Dots

 SO.....I was trying to replicate the beautiful dotted mani that had so much controversy swirling around it in pinterest. (someone had erased the watermark then pinned it- BAD MANNERS!) but I couldn't leave it at creams, no, I had to go and get shimmers- I pulled out all my swatchsicles (go see earlier posts) and decided on the gorgeous shimmery cream called Believe by Deborah Lippmann. This is an icy golden foily glass fleck with pink and teal specks - I promise, it's whiter than my camera shots can show- a soft ivory-
Macro shot (not mine- Ironspy credit)
I added various dots with Catrice Goldfinger, Revlon Aloof and Revlon Espresso- Revlon Quick Dry tc the Seche Vite over. Creamy and dreamy.

Lacquistry and her Artistry!

So, I've been swatching my collection on sticks and grabbed the 5 new Catrice polishes I have acquired in the last month. One is a beautiful celery green cream with a fine jade shimmer in it, called Sold Out Forever. I bought Lacquistry's outrageous holo/sparkle/diamond/heaven  called Miles to Go Before I Sleep for two reasons: first, come on, look at it! second, Frost's poem was the second one I ever memorized (it was required in 5th grade) after Jabberwocky (I discovered that was my dad's favorite poem and promptly memorized it so I could recite it for him :) SOFE goes on like most pastels, a little patchy, but I knew I would be covering it up so I did two thin coats. A third or a heavier application would have sufficed.
Now, I'm not gonna lie. MTGBIS is a pain in the patoot to apply. Chunky, sticky, FOAMY?! (where did THAT come from?) and even after a full dropper of Seche Restore was thick and gloopy. There is no painting this stuff on. Dab and swipe, dab and swipe. BUT and that is a huge BUT...it's so worth it. Even knowing I would have to use Gelous, Out the Door AND Seche Vite. Even knowing I will have to soak in acetone mittens for awhile. This is a dream polish, kindof how I hope the streets of heaven will look. This is the air unicorns breathe out....  :)
