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!

Black Sheep Lacquer Enter Sandman

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.

Half Moon Triangle Nail Art!

Hi everyone! Today I have some really simple triangle half moon nails to show you!

For the first time ever I painted my nails with insufficient light, and it definitely shows! My triangles are all wonky and there are bald spots in my base colour! :P

Anyways, since I'll probably be repainting my nails pretty soon and posting a better mani soon, let's just get on with it and onto the pictures!


Blue base: Black Sheep Lacquer Badass

Black triangles/half moons: Orly Liquid Vinyl




Thank you so much for reading everybody! I'll have some more interesting nail art and Black Sheep Lacquer swatches for you all very soon! :)

Zoya Miranda Swatches and Review!

Hey everybody! Today I have a swatch and review of Zoya Miranda for you all!

I've decided my relationship with textured polishes is a love-hate one only because they're so hard to use in nail art! I'll probably be taking this off soon and doing some cutesy nails with some of my new Hex Nail Jewelry charms so stay tuned!

I also have four new Black Sheep Lacquer polishes all swatched for you and one old one I decided to reswatch for the author of Blueberry Nails. I used it (First Polish on the Moon) without a white base this time to see how it looked and behaved! Once Erin names the last polish I swatched I'll be posting all of the swatches for you lovely people!

Onto the swatches and review!

Zoya Miranda

Miranda- two coats!

This polish had a wonderful formula, and since the textured parts of this polish are of finer grit than other textured polishes, it was almost like applying a normal micro-glitter polish! One day I really want to try layering a new textured matte polish I picked up, OPI Solitaire, over darker textured matte polishes like Miranda for a lighter look! Having a light textured matte polish in your arsenal basically doubles the number of textured matte polishes you have, because you can easily make a paler version of any colour!

China Glaze Inner Beauty and Simple Cartoony Flowers!

Hello everyone! Today I have swatches of China Glaze Inner Beauty and some simple floral nail art to share!

I'm really not sure about what lighting looks the best for my pictures so lately the lighting of my pictures has been very varied, I apologize! I'm thinking of making or buying a light box for more consistent pictures, let me know what you think I should do or a good light box you've heard of in the comments!

Onto the pictures!

China Glaze Inner Beauty

This is three coats of Inner Beauty and a coat of top coat! It had a lovely formula and it seemed to dry pretty quick!

Thanks for reading everybody! I think I'll be painting some nails today and tonight I get to babysit my boyfriend's little baby niece, I'm so excited! Hope you all have a lovely day planned as well! :)
