Black Luna Nail Lacquer!

Hello Everyone!!  I'm so happy we got our power back yesterday after the storm on Monday!  It was a quick storm, but it effected a lot of towns!  Many didn't have power like us, and I'm just thankful we were only out of power for a day! Sometimes bad storms put us out a lot longer!  After driving yesterday, I saw a lot of trees uprooted!  It is quite scary!  Below is a couple blocks away.  I just ask that you keep those with damage in your thoughts and prayers!  I'm feeling very fortunate to not have had any devastation from the storm!  

Isn't it amazing what nature can do with a quick little burst of wind?  On a lighter note, I'm so excited to share some Black Luna Nail Lacquer swatches with you today!  I was sent these for review and it was my first time trying this brand.  I love the colors I was sent and the formula was great for all three!

You can purchase Black Luna Nail Lacquer at http://blacklunalacquer.storenvy.com/ and also can stay up to date on Facebook and Instagram - @blacklunalacquer.

First up, we have Comet.

For Comet, I used 2 coats along with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails.

What a perfect creation in time for the 4th of July!!  I absolutely love the white squares in this too!  I like that it has a hint of sheerness to see them.

Close up!

Next up, Bright Lights Holo Top Coat.

I was feeling like an office type mani, with a bit of sparkle.  I started with 2 coats of OPI Barefoot in Barcelona.

I then added 1 coat of Bright Lights.  My light box doesn't play nice with holo :-(

So I used the bedroom lighting.  I'm sorry it makes my skin look crazy, but look at that HOLO!!

I wore this to work for meetings and couldn't stop staring at my nails while typing. hehe

A beautiful holo top coat!  If you don't have one of these, I highly recommend it!  It makes any polish holo by layering it.  Part of the fun is finding new combos!  I really love these two together and will be wearing them again!

Close up - light box!

Close up - bedroom lighting.

Last, but not least, we have Forbidden Fruit.

For Forbidden Fruit, I used 2 coats along with Wicked Fast by Cult Nails.

What a gorgeous neon green!  And the name is too cute.  Again, my light box didn't really play nice with the gorgeous holo glitters in this!

Here is the bedroom lighting to show off the sparkles!

Close up!

I hope you enjoyed this look at Black Luna Lacquer!  I am so glad I had the opportunity to try these!  Her shop has lots of beautiful creations, so I recommend checking it out!  In case you missed above, you can purchase Black Luna Nail Lacquer at http://blacklunalacquer.storenvy.com/ and also can stay up to date on Facebook and Instagram - @blacklunalacquer.

Hope you have a great day!!

Much Love,

Seriously, isn't this gorgeous!??

For It's So Fluffy, I'm Gonna Die, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top!

This is based off of the movie, Despicable Me.  Here is a quick clip of where the name comes from!

I absolutely love the glass flecks in this!  Plus all the pink!! And circle glitters!??  Plus those big pink hexes are awesome!  Squares too!

Close Up!!  This is seriously the prettiest pink!! A must have in my opinion!

Next, Crystal Empire!  Don't you just love the name? *wink wink*

I'm in glitter heaven I think!  I started with three coats of OPI Rumple's Wiggin'.

I then applied 1 coat of Crystal Empire along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

LOVE these huge circle glitters that are holographic!  And the beautiful moons, stars, and smaller circles!  This is just such a fun glitter topper!  I wanted to try this over blues, pinks, purples, black, etc. haha I can't wait to wear this again!

This is based off of the cartoon, My Little Pony!  Here is a picture of the Crystal Empire!

HERE for Photo Credit

You can see in the bottle the holo big circle glitter! YUM!

Close up!

Next....Who Lives In A Pineapple Under The Sea?

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

For this mani using Who Lives In A Pineapple Under The Sea?, I used 2 coats along with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top.  I did add the extra top coat to make sure it was smoother!

Here is the theme song to the cartoon, Spongebob Squarepants!

Are you going to be singing it all night too? LOL  Anyway, I LOVE the stars in this, plus it totally reminds me of the cartoon Spongebob Squarepants!  And the light blue shimmer through this is beautiful!  It's subtle, but I love it!  And there are these white glitters that are thicker, but they look so so cool through the white base! Since they are thicker though, I do recommend a thick top coat, or like I did, an extra coat.  It is definitely worth it though!  Isn't this awesome?

Close up!  You can see the blue glitters/shimmer in it!

I hope you enjoyed this post!!  In case you missed above, you can purchase Dollish Polish at HERE at DollishPolish.com or through HERE at Llarowe.

*These polishes were sent to me for my honest review.  All thoughts and opinions are that of my own.*

Black Cat Lacquer!

Hello All!!  Today I have some gorgeous Black Cat Lacquer polishes to share with you!!  Sabrina, the owner, sent these to me to review for you. I was so excited because I've seen a lot of these shades popping up around Instagram and such, and I absolutely love them!

You can purchase Black Cat Lacquer HERE on Etsy.   For updates and promotions, follow Black Cat Lacquer on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!  I actually just bought 3 beautiful ones with the Easter sale of 25% off of $25 or more!  So keep an eye for deals ;-)

We all know I love my pictures, so here we go!  First up - Dark Side of the Moon!

For Dark Side of the Moon, I used 2 coats along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

This polish is amazing!! I love the black stars, diamonds, and circle glitters!  The little pops of green are so beautiful and the white base has a gorgeous shimmer through it!

Sabrina's description: There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark. But you can stay in the dark with Dark Side of the Moon! Dark Side of the Moon is a shimmery creamy base filled with all things dark in all shapes and sizes!

Close up!  You can see some of the shimmers!!

Next up, Lucky Star!

I started with two coats of OPI Mod About You (a favorite of mine!!).  This is an older picture in the shade outdoors.

Next, I applied 1 coats of Lucky Star and topped with KBShimmer Clearly on Top. 

I just love the pastel glitters!  There are also some iridescent glitters and some that flash blue!  So beautiful!  There are starts in light teal, purple, and pink, along with other glitters in the same colors.  Perfection!

You can see the bottle with the blue and iridescent glitters!

Sabrina's description:  You can be the luckiest by far now when you fall for Lucky Star! Lucky Star is a beautiful combination of pink, lilac, aqua and iridescent glitters of all shapes and sizes!

A delicious close up!

Are you ready for this jelly?  Here is Bloody Kisses!

For Bloody Kisses, I used 3 coats along with 2 coats of KBShimmer Clearly on Top because I *needed* this to look deep for you guys :-D  How'd I do?  hehe

Jellies are so so much fun, so I wanted to make sure you could really see the glitters suspended!  And extra top coat to make it a glass finish.  You could also easily layer this over black, but you might lose some of the depth.  The beautiful glitters float through this base and a few have a bit of holographic-ness (that's a word, right?) to them!

Sabrina's description:  Inspired by one of my favorite albums/songs, Bloody Kisses is made of a sinister black jelly base with an array of blood colored glitter.

Close up!!

Next, we have Sanitation Twins.

I'm ready for summer, and we've been having warm weather here!!!  So I went for a bold orange for this base!  This is two coats of OPI A Good Mandarin is Hard to Find.  SO glossy!

I then layered 1 coat of Sanitation Twins along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

What a fun fun mix of glitters!! There is a bunch of colors along with a gorgeous shimmer!  Also, lots of different sizes of hexes and some bar glitters!

LOVE Sabrina's description:  We're here to tell you all about the new recycling bins! Cardboard & newspaper, blue! Plastic & aluminum, black! Yard waste, YELLER! Coffee cup sleeves, orange! Stir sticks, brown! Cups, periwinkle! Lids, fuchsia! Lipstick lids, rose! Broken umbrellas & broken hearts, canary! Lotion, chartreuse! Lotion bottles, green! Fingernails & eggshells, cobalt!

Close up!!

Last, but certainly not least, here is She's In Parties!

This is one coat by itself.  I love the simple look that reminds me of balloons!!  A top coat would smooth this a little, but since I was adding another coat, I left it. ;-)

Close up!  This would look awesome layered I bet!!  It would make any mani look like a party!

I added a second coat of She's In Parties along with KBShimmer Clearly on Top.

Does anyone else think this reminds them up the movie UP?  Maybe it's because @Madamluck on Instagram recently did an UP mani, but these look like the balloons! Right?

Sabrina's description:  It'll be in the can once you try on She's In Parties! It'll be a graveyard scene with this gorgeous combination of a glitter explosion in a creamy shimmery base.

LOVE it!  Close up!

I hope you enjoyed this look at Black Cat Lacquer!  I hope to swatch the others I got during the sale soon!
