Tomato Reds with Literary Lacquer Greatest Treasure and Essie Meet Me at Sunset

I was feeling jellyish, maybe leaning crellyish, and remembered (how do I always forget?) how absolutely perfect the Essie brush is for my deeply curved nails. I was matching a sweater, so I grabbed the mini MMAS from summer 2011. I wasn't in the mood for nail art, but wanted to jazz it up a bit, so I added a few nails of the gloriously red orange LitLat. They aren't anything at all alike, although they look close in the bottle. (second rule of nail polish, the first being "pee before polishing" is "never trust the bottle") Ah weel, I'm happy and my nails look mahvelous!! Cult Nails Wicked Fast topcoat. (gonna miss this when it runs out)

Luggage for Your Journey- Literary Lacquers!

 

 This was an Alzheimer's fundraising LE offered by Amy recently. She raised hundreds of dollars for the cause!  Most pics I've seen of this lovely are a bit more grayed or even reddish, but on me this holo with holo glitter was warm and caramelly. Easy two coats, but the glitters took two top coats to be smooth. Gorgeous twinkle under the strings of lights at the outdoor wedding and reception I attended last week. So this is the fifth or sixth LL I've worn and I haven't found one ordinary or meh yet, each one has been a delight to wear! Go, find, buy HERE!  you'll be so happy you did!

Finally, I see the light! More Like Fire Than Light- Literary Lacquers!

My darling friend Crumpet has been showcasing these polishes for a long time now, and the release of the Wrinkle in Time collection pushed me over the edge. I purchased most of these, but Amy was so generous to provide me with three extras for review! :::squeee inserted here:::::

Look look look what showed up in my mailbox!!

adorbs wittle burritoes (great tape choices btw)

My first to wear is, of course, the juicy deep jelly orange named More Like Fire Than Light. There are literary references for all these polishes, please go check out the etsy store for the descriptions here here here!

MLFTL applied like most jellies, a tad sheer on the first coat, but YOWZA! The second coat and we're practically full on opaque! Brilliant formula with amazing coverage. Applied like syrup, but I had NO CLEAN UP!! That's almost unheard of for me. Poshe topcoat, no dulling of these rainbows, no sirree! SO excited to try the other beauties, as soon as I can bring myself to remove this one!

Thanks Amy, and Debbie? You were right! :)
