Lush Lacquer - Dippin Dots swatch

Used a really terrible ELF nude as the base color. Pretty color, stunk badly and applied terrible. Excuse that. :/

But here we have Lush Lacquer's Dippin Dots (Thanks Secret Santa!), over a nude base. Wish I went with a different base, it kinda looks like piss in certain lighting. :/

I'm having an affair with Lush Lacquer, I think. Considering it's my main indie brand I seem to be collecting. Looove it. :)

Damn you crappy bubbly ELF polish that was in a super adorable 14 piece polish cube !!
It does kind of remind me of cake though... with cute sprinkles, heh.

Lush Lacquer Swatch: Camo Queen

Finally got around to posting a swatch of Camo Queen by Lush Lacquer. I really love this color, but I definetley WILL be wearing a base color under it next time. I took it off the next day since one of my pet peeves is seeing my nail beds under polish. (Not a huge fan of sheers for this reason.) However I still wanted to swatch the polish so you could just see it alone. Very very pretty, would be a really nice application for glitter gradients. Took a lot of effort getting off though, even while using the foil method to remove glitters.

I also smudged ones of nails. You might be able to see it in some of the pics.

I'm also not the best at clean up, probably some stray glitters. -shrug-

I'm working on better nail polish application. I'm too lazy with clean up.

Swatch: Indie polish: Lush Lacquer - Chubby Checker

I'm not a huge fan of sheer polishes, but this one is alright. The hexagon glitter is what originally caught my eye. Next time I'm going to use a white base coat for "underwear", as one of my pet peeves is being able to see the tips of my nails under polish. Call me weird. This is still a very beautiful pink shimmer polish with black and white large and small glitter mixed in with it. Several coats look really nice as well, while still being able to see first coat glitter underneath, ala "glitter sammich". Like all glitters, it was difficult to get the chunky fat pieces out onto the nail. Even after a lot of rolling the bottle in the palm of my hand. Still well worth the money and I'm happy I added it to my collection.

This was my first haul of indie polishes, I also got Camo Queen by Lush Lacquer as well. I hope to swatch that eventually, and I plan on buying LL's Salt 'N Pepper polish, too, when I get time and money for it.

ALSO, I forgot I had straight up vitamin e oil. Love it for cuticle care. I actually think it's better than my grapeseed oil. And I'm a HUGE advocate for grapeseed oil.

I'm not the best at shaping my nails. At all. Lol.

"Outdoor" lighting. My cameras weren't wanting to focus in on this color
of polish very well.
