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!

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!

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!

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!

Thanks for reading everyone! I'll be doing some real nail art for the first time in a while today or tomorrow and I'll be posting it tomorrow! :)

Crazy Makeup and Jelly Sandwich Nails Photo Shoot :)

As I said in my previous post, I've been needing a new profile picture for my Facebook page for a while now, as the collage that was my profile picture consists of my old and not so good nail art! So I asked my best friend (who just arrived to stay with us for a month :D) to do my makeup!

If anyone's curious about any of the makeup ask me in the comments and I'll check what it is for you! It's been thirteen or fourteen months since I last wore eye makeup so I don't know too much about it! I do occasionally wear matte lipsticks because I've gotten into those lately, but other than that, I never wear makeup!

On my nails I'm just wearing a jelly sandwich with Revlon Mint Gelato and OPI Pirouette My Whistle! Mint Gelato is a bit too opaque for a jelly sandwich, so you can only see a few glitters through the second layer of Mint Gelato on a few nails (including my left ring finger, especially in the picture of my glitter-covered lips)!

Onto the pictures!

Thanks for reading my lovely readers! :)

Canada Day Nails =)

Hey all! Today I have some Canada Day nail art to show you that I've been wearing while I've been in the States :). I'll be posting a big haul post in two days because all if the nail polish down here is cheaper than in Canada and I've been going a little shopping crazy!

Onto the pictures and colour names!

The blue seen here is China Glaze For Audrey, the red is American Apparel Poppy, and the glitter is an unnamed Black Sheep Lacquer polish (sent to me for swatching)!

Notice the derpy maple leaf, aka my poor drawing skills! :P

Thanks for reading everyone! :)

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 :).

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!

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!

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

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 :).

Thanks for reading my lovelies! :)

Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches and Review: Ride the Lightening, Dragon Scale and Into the Void!

These three polishes were sent for me to swatch by the lovely Erin of Black Sheep Lacquer! Excuse the small cut on my thumb making an appearance in these pictures, I must have nicked myself with my razor in the bath! :P I ended up loving all of these polishes even more than I thought I would after applying them!

Get ready for a bunch of pictures!

First up is Ride the Lightening, a jade green metallic polish with what looks to be holographic glitter thrown in! The formula on this one was wonderful, I went over some spots on my nail many times with the brush with no balding issues! It seems to be a bit thick, but it applies as if it isn't; wonderfully self-leveling and easily spreadable. This is one of the polishes made with a new formula she's trying out, and I definitely approve! What you see here is two coats of Ride the Lightening plus one coat of top coat!

Next up is Dragon Scale (that is slightly different than the one available on her shop in that it contains small blue glitters)! Dragon Scale is a blue metallic polish that has a bit of a green duo-chrome effect. This polish had an amazing formula as well, and this is just two easy coats plus a coat of top coat!

My undies for the last polish featured in this post (the black is two coats of Orly Liquid Vinyl and the grey is one coat of Sally Hansen Wet Cement)!

Finally, this beauty is called Into the Void. When I got all of these polishes in the mail my boyfriend even picked this one up and mentioned how cool it was! Into the Void is a clear base filled with what I think are small silver holographic glitters (it wasn't sunny enough today to tell unfortunately), medium-sized teal hexagon and square glitters, and medium-sized copper hexes. This is just one coat over my undies, this polish is packed with well behaved (as in non-curling) glitter! This would have to be my favourite of the three, I really loved it over both base colours I chose!

I'll be posting at least three more three polish Black Sheep Lacquer posts in the near future so stay tuned! Check out more of Erin's awesome polishes at her Etsy shop here! Thanks for reading! :)
