Black Sheep Lacquer Swatch and Review: Paint it Black, Subway to Venus, and Get off My Cloud!

I have a few more lovelies from Black Sheep Lacquer to show you all today! I promise my next post is a nail art one in case you aren't into swatches! Also, I apologize for posting only every three days as of recent. I've been studying for my physics final and now I'm in the US for a shopping trip! In three days I'll be posting the mani I've been wearing on my trip :).

Black Sheep Lacquer Paint it Black

First up is Paint it Black, a metallic charcoal polish with small purple glitters and green and gold micro-shimmer. It's anything but a plain black polish! This is just two easy coats plus a coat of top coat. I've noticed adding a coat of top coat to Black Sheep Lacquer polishes really makes them come to life! This is one of Erin's newly formulated polishes, and like with Ride the Lightening, this polish seems thick but applies so incredibly well. There are absolutely no balding issues to report no matter how much you play around with the polish! This polish was sent to me for swatches!

Black Sheep Lacquer Subway to Venus

Next up is Subway to Venus, a dark blue jelly with many different shaped, sized and coloured glitters! What you see here is three coats plus a coat of top coat. As with all Black Sheep Lacquer polishes I've tried so far, this polish dried quickly and even so, there was no need to wait for coats to fully dry before applying another coat to prevent bald spots!

OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Undies for the last polish in this post, two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls!

Black Sheep Lacquer Get off My Cloud

Lastly, this beauty is called Get off My Cloud. It's a slightly yellow tinted base with blue, lime green and pink matte hexes in different sizes. This one glows a bright blue, and the glow effect after one coat is astonishingly strong! I swear this polish glowed all night last night (I ended up leaving this on and painting my other hand because this polish is so summery and wonderful). Each time I woke up in the night I looked at my nails and somehow they were still glowing! Believe it or not, the best picture I could get of this polish glowing is the one at the end of this post... if anyone has any tips for photographing glow in the dark things I'd really appreciate it! As you can kind of see on my pointer finger in the last picture, the glowing particles aren't super tiny (so the glow effect is dotty and not solid) which looks really freaking cool :).

  1. Great swatches! I love that hint of sparkle in the otherwise concrete polish and glow in the dark is amazing! I wish the glitter showed through a tad more in the middle polish but overall these are awesome :)

    I hope you have fun on your trip!

    I just featured one of my new favourite polishes for summer on my blog writingwhimsy.com if you're interested!

    1. Oh my gosh, I totally bought Naughty Nautical, you convinced me I had to! They really are awesome and the maker of these polishes lives so close to me that I get anything I order or she sends me so quick! :)
