Black Sheep Lacquer Under The Bridge: Reswatched and Reviewed!

Hey guys! Today I have a better swatch of a polish I've swatched before, Black Sheep Lacquer Under The Bridge* (old post here)!

I've decided to break up the huge wall of text and the huge wall of pictures by alternating between text and pictures, I'd love to know whether you prefer this configuration or the old one in the comments!

This week and next are final exam weeks at my college, and I'm actually lucky enough to finish my finals this Saturday! So for me, this week is final week and I really want to crack down and study hard! Because of this, I decided to paint my nails with a pretty indie polish and leave it on for six whole days :O. I do have a Pretty & Polished cuticle balm review post to write up, so hopefully I'll still be posting every three days this week! All of my finals are back to back, so I've decided to do a subject a day so as to not overwhelm myself haha. Today's topic is cell biology in case your curious, and it's actually going really well. Quite surprising for a procrastinator like me!

Anyways, onto the polish! Under The Bridge is a gorgeous red jelly polish packed with large and medium-sized dark blue hexes, small matte white hexes, small dark blue squares, tiny silver and dark blue hexes, and who could forget, huge red circles! All of the dark blue glitters that are covered in the red jelly base appear purple and it makes them look so glowy and pretty! The base is darker and pinker in person, it's really difficult to capture reds accurately on camera! Other than having to fish for two of the four circle glitters I have on my nails right now, this polish had a perfect formula (no glitter clumping or anything) and I find fishing for glitters kind of fun anyways! I might have not even had to fish for any if I had let the bottle sit upside down for longer before polishing! What you see here is two coats of Under The Bridge and two coats of top coat for maximum squishiness!

I actually described one of my dream polishes to Erin and this is what she came up with, it's a beautiful take on my description and I absolutely love it!

What do you guys think of this polish? Super pretty right? I hope you're all having a lovely Monday, let me know what you'll be up to this week in the comments! Anyone else about to do some final exams?

*This polish was sent for swatches, though I have already swatched it.

  1. Hello! I am one of the participant for Will Paint Nails for Food's Beginning Blogger Boot camp. :] I have few feed backs for you:

    I noticed that each of your entry are quite long and it can be tiring for the readers to scroll all the way down, so I recommend you to add the jump break section to shorten the length. So that way you can lure in your readers if they are curious enough. :]

    I saw other comments and I definitely love how you take the pictures, the depth and focus are good! I have to say that your designs are beautiful!! They all are awesome, keep up the good work and keep up inspiring the others! :] <3

    1. Thank you so much for your feedback, I might try adding page breaks to long posts! :)

  2. I do like your new way of writing - alternatively text & pictures! :) I've found that page breaks are seriously a polarizing thing (seems half of people love them and half of people hate them) so in that respect - do whatever! haha! This polish is super pretty and your pictures are great!

    1. that's true-- I did not realize that people do & do not like jump breaks. so you're correct, do whatever :] :] :]

    2. Maybe I'll try doing page breaks for huge swatch posts since I post so many swatch pictures! :P I usually don't really like them but maybe they're a good idea, thanks so much guys! :)
