Black Sheep Lacquer's Badass (new version) and Scatter Heart!

Hey-lo everyone! Today I have two more Black Sheep Lacquer polishes to share with you all!

One of them is a new version of the popular Badass (swatched here by me), a lovely green, blue and grey multichrome! The other is a lovely white crelly polish with red hearts and gold squares called Scatter Heart!

Like with my last post I showed both polishes at one coat (so you guys can see how they look) and then added more coats if I wanted a bit more opacity! I also didn't apply a top coat in any of the pictures, so this is exactly what the polishes look like on their own!

Are you getting tired of me saying BSL polishes have amazing formulas? Well I'm sorry, but they do!

Onto the pictures!

Thanksgiving Nail Art!

Hello everyone! I know I said the next two posts from me would be Black Sheep Lacquer swatches, but I couldn't wait to post this nail art because it's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and I think they're quite Thanksgiving-y! Rest assured the next two posts from me will be those swatches!

For these abstract turkey feather nails (?) I started off with a base of two coats of OPI My Vampire Is Buff and then went in with my new favourite nail art brush (a PMX Germany WH 5/0, I got it from a model/hobby shop)! I used three pinks/reds/bugundys, three browns and three purples/blurples for this mani! The redish colours I used (from darkest to lightest) were: Essie Plumberry, Orly Mind's Eye, and Orly Grave Mistake. The browns I used (from lightest to darkest) were Revlon Smoky Canvas, Butter London All Hail The Queen, and OPI You Don't Know Jacques. Finally, the purples/blurples I used (again, from lightest to darkest) were Color Club Pucci-licious, China Glaze Fancy Pants, and Essie No More Film!

Onto the photos!

Thank you so much for reading everybody! I hope your Monday is going well! :)

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

Smells Like Teen Spirit- two coats

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!

Enter Sandman- two coats

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.

American Apparel Angeline!

Hello everyone! Today I have a super quick swatch of American Apparel Angeline for you guys!

This is my one week of this semester with two midterms in it so I really didn't have time to do a mani any more complicated than this! This is just one coat of Angeline and a coat of top coat (Essie Good to Go still!).

I bought this polish for nail art mostly, because pink is the one colour I don't really like on myself. I don't love this mani but maybe I'll get used to it haha! This pink had a lovely formula mind you, it's almost a one-coater and I'm wearing it at one coat (because I couldn't justify doing another whole coat of polish when I should be studying and don't love the colour)! :P I do, however, feel kind of sexy with long and round dark pink nails!

Anyways, onto the pictures!

Thanks for reading everyone! The lovely Erin of Black Sheep Lacquer has sent some polishes my way for swatches, so the next post you see from me will feature more amazing Black Sheep Lacquer polishes! Good luck on your midterms if you have any coming up! :)

Plum Flakie Mani: Shiny and Matte!

Hey everyone! I'm sorry for not posting for a few more days than usual, I have a night lab on Thursday nights and I got busy Friday, so I couldn't repaint my nails until today! Anyway, today I have some shiny and matte flakie nails to share!

For this mani I started off with two coats of Essie Carry On, a lovely crelly plummy brown polish! It's absolutely perfect for fall and winter if you're into matching your nails to the seasons! I feel like I say this about every polish I've talked about lately, but this beauty could be a one-coater if you're careful!

I then went in with a gorgeous flakie top coat, Color Club Covered In Diamonds. Covered In Diamonds is definitely more my kind of flakie polish than Essie Shine Of The Times, though I do own and love both! I've always been more of a cool colour than warm colour girl, what can I say?

After that, I went in with Julep Matte Top Coat, making sure to go even closer to the cuticle than the polish already there did (so I didn't get that glossy-millimetre-right-at-the-cuticle thing that often happens with matte topcoats).

Onto the pictures!

Two coats of Essie Carry On, no top coat.

One coat of Color Club Covered In Diamonds over my undies, no top coat!

One generous coat of Julep Matte Top Coat over everything else I mentioned!

What do you guys think, shiny or matte? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks so much for reading everyone! Hope you're having a lovely weekend, we're having a turkey dinner tonight just for fun and I can't wait! :)

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! :)
