Thermal Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Smells Like Teen Spirit, Jump In The Fire and Enter Sandman!

Hello everyone! Today I have three lovely thermal Black Sheep Lacquer polishes to share!*

Get ready for a crapload of pictures! I put Erin's "it will stand on it's own at one coat" claim to the test, and I'm happy to say it's no lie! I included a picture of each polish at one coat so you can see for yourself!

All of these polishes had lovely formulas, so let's get to the swatches!

Smells Like Teen Spirit- one coat

Erin said the pigment she used for this polish was hard to work with, and the streaks of pigment seen here were just from the polish not being mixed enough. So I'm sure she'll do more testing and make sure the ones she sells are mixed well enough!

Thanks so much for having a look everyone! Erin sent me 6 other lovelies last week so I'll have two more Black Sheep Lacquer posts coming your way, including four new duochromes that are being released as I swatch them! Check out her Etsy shop here, all three polishes featured in this post are up for sale already!

*These polishes were generously sent to me for swatching purposes.

Blue to Yellow Gradient Topped with Black Sheep Lacquer's Grab Your Toque!

Hello everyone! Today I have a simple gradient topped with glitter combo to share!

For this look I started off with one coat of Essie Mesmerized, as pictured below! This polish could easily be a one-coater if you're careful enough, but since I knew I wanted to do some nail art on top it was okay that I wasn't overly cautious on some nails. Also, my light box is incredibly forgiving when it comes to bald spots, which is very convenient when I'm just swatching the bases for my nail art!

Anyways, onto the swatches and nail art!

This is one coat of Essie Mesmerized and no top coat!

The other colour I used for the gradient was a lovely OPI yellow called Fiercely Fiona! I mixed varying amounts of Mesmerized and Fiercely Fiona for the two in between colours in attempt to create a smoother gradient. I've started using eyeshadow brushes for gradients and just sponging on one colour at a time. It's much less messy that way and requires much less cleanup!

The glitter topper I slapped on top of it all is Black Sheep Lacquer Grab Your Toque, a lovely red and white glitter topper as you can see! I thought it would contrast nicely with the blue and yellow and I really like the effect!

Thank you so much for reading my lovelies! :)

More Black Sheep Lacquer Swatches: Punk Rock Penny, Orange Crush, Under the Bridge, Paradise City, and First Polish on the Moon!

Hey everybody! Today I got some Black Sheep Lacquer polishes in the mail to swatch! I also got some Hex Nail Jewelry that I'll be posting about soon!

I have a bunch of things on their way to me (mostly polish-related items) from before I started my no-buy month that I'm really excited about! I bought some glitters from YouMix a week or so ago and I'm really excited to do some individually placed glitter manis with them! I'm most excited that my Jeffrey Campbell Litas arrived though! I've started posting OOTDs on my Instagram so if you're interested go ahead and follow me here!

Anyways, all of these polishes had lovely unproblematic formulas, so onto the swatches!

Punk Rock Penny- one coat!

Orange Crush- two coats!

Under the Bridge- two coats!

Paradise City- three coats!

First Polish on the Moon- three coats!

I reswatched this one because the pictures I got of it last time weren't that good, and because the author of Blueberry Nails wanted to know how it'd look without a white base!
