Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Hitman, First Polish on the Moon and Confused Canary :)

Hello everybody! Today I have three more Black Sheep Lacquer lovelies to show you all! These polishes were generously sent to me for swatches! I think I'll be putting together a black and white glitter topper comparison post soon, because in addition to BSL A Letter to the New York Post I have two other similar toppers.

These polishes had awesome formulas as expected, so onto the pictures!

Black Sheep Lacquer Hitman

First up is Hitman, a very dark grey linear holographic polish with small silver holographic glitters tossed in too! This polish is too beautiful for words, I'd seriously suggest you just buy it! This is one coat over two different dark Essie colours, but as you can see, the polish looks the same over both so any dark colour will work beautifully! I had to post five photos instead of four for this one because it's so gorgeous!

Black Sheep Lacquer First Polish on the Moon

Next is First Polish on the Moon, a neon pink jelly polish with small silver holographic glitter! I took pictures in sunlight to show the holographic glitter and in indirect light to show a more colour-accurate swatch of the polish. This is two coats over two coats of OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls!

Black Sheep Lacquer Confused Canary

Lastly, we have Confused Canary, a matte black, white, yellow and pink glitter topper with tiny silver holographic glitter throughout! I think I got every kind of glitter on my nails except the matte white bar glitter, in case you're wondering what glitters this polish contains! This is one coat over my undies, China Glaze For Audrey (turquoise), Color Club Poptastic (pink) and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (white)!

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Badass, Major Tom and A Letter to the New York Post!

Hello my lovelies! Today I got bored and decided to start swatching my new Black Sheep Lacquer polishes! I keep buying and getting sent them for swatching and they're all so awesome!

They all had lovely formulas as I've come to expect, so onto the swatches!

Black Sheep Lacquer Badass

This amazing polish is called Badass and it's definitely that! I actually think this one is my favourite of the twenty-one Black Sheep Lacquer polishes I own. Badass is a green to purple duo-chrome polish with a pinch of scattered holographic glitter thrown in. It also looks like a charcoal colour at certain angles... basically it's just incredibly stunning. This polish was so generously sent to me for swatches! This is two coats!

American Apparel Coney Island

Undies for the next polish! Two coats of American Apparel Coney Island.

Black Sheep Lacquer Major Tom

This is Major Tom (a reference to David Bowie's Space Oddity, love him!), a pink jelly base with tiny silver glitter, small silver holographic bar glitter, small matte light pink hexes, medium-sized matte light pink circles and large hot pink matte hearts! As if all that wasn't cool enough, this polish also glows greenish yellow in the dark! This is just one coat over my undies!

As you can see, the glow effect isn't super strong, but that makes it easier to sleep while wearing!

Essie Play Date and Mojito Madness

Undies for the last polish of this post! Two coats of Essie Play Date (purple) and one coat of Essie Mojito Madness (green).

Black Sheep Lacquer A Letter to the New York Post

Finally, we have A Letter to the New York Post, a whole bunch of matte black and white glitters of all shapes and sizes in a clear base! This is just one coat over my undies!

Thanks for reading everybody! Stay tuned for swatches of three more Black Sheep Lacquer polishes tomorrow!

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches UPDATED: Grab Your Toque, Tequila Sunrise and Space Cowboy!

Hello everyone! I'm vacationing a few hours from home at a cool beach for a few days, so naturally, I brought around thirty polishes with me! I have the remaining three Black Sheep Lacquer polishes I own so far all swatched for you lovelies! The two glitter toppers were generously sent to me for swatches, but I bought the other one myself! All had awesome formulas as I've come to expect with Black Sheep Lacquer polishes, so this post is not an in-depth review but a bit of a swatch fest!

Onto the polishes!


Undies for the first polish I have to show you guys! Left to right (or pinky to thumb) excluding repeats: OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Orly Liquid Vinyl, and American Apparel Poppy! I managed to only use one coat of each of these undies by using a thick coat!

Black Sheep Lacquer Grab Your Toque

UPDATE: This glitter topper is called Grab Your Toque and it's filled with small red and matte white hexes, even smaller matte white squares and silver shimmer! This is just one coat over my undies!

Undies for the second polish! Left to right (or pinky to thumb) excluding repeats: Color Club Almost Famous, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls, and Essie Mod Square! Again, this is just one thick coat of each undie!

Black Sheep Lacquer Tequila Sunrise

UPDATE: This glitter topper is called Tequila Sunrise and it has tiny neon yellow glitters, tiny gold holographic glitters, and large and small neon pink matte square glitters! SECOND UPDATE: Black Sheep Lacquer has recently put out another polish called Tequila Sunrise, and the new one (not this one) is the only one available for purchase at this time. So I'm pretty sure this glitter topper one has been discontinued!

Black Sheep Lacquer Space Cowboy

Lastly, I have Space Cowboy to show you guys! As with many neons, this polish's true colour won't translate to pictures. I actually checked to see if this polish glowed in the dark because it's so neon and bright! Imagine a glowing neon Creamsicle, that's what this polish actually looks like! Space Cowboy is a neon orange jelly with medium-sized matte yellow and blue hexes, large matte blue hexes, and a few tiny neon orange particles/glitters! This swatch shows just two coats!

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Orange Blossom, Aquabat without glitter, and Aquabat with glitter!

I have three more lovelies to show you by Black Sheep Lacquer today! These were so generously sent to me for swatches from Erin, the shop owner!

All had lovely formulas, so onto the pictures!

Black Sheep Lacquer Orange Blossom

Two coats of Orange Blossom without top coat :)

Black Sheep Lacquer Aquabat

Two coats of each version of Aquabat, plus a coat of top coat on the glitter-containing one :)

These were swatched so Erin could decide which version of Aquabat she liked better and would rather sell!

Thanks for reading! My Swiss best friend is going to put some awesome makeup, studs and glitter on my face to match my nails tonight, and we're gonna have a photo shoot. I'll be posting the pictures of my nails and my cool make up tomorrow! I'm mainly doing this to give myself a cooler profile picture for my Partial to Polish page on Facebook! Have a lovely evening or morning or whatever's coming up for you! :)
