Candy Lacquer Polishes
Today, I have for you three colors by indie polish maker, Candy Lacquer.
Argyle - white, turquoise, and black diamond glitter, as well as white and black bar glitter in a clear base. As soon as I saw a bottle pick of Argyle on another blog, I fell instantly in love and I knew I had to get it. As soon as Candy Lacquer's Etsy store was reopened, Argyle was the first one I put in my cart. Once I got it home, I love it even more... in the bottle. Unfortunately, it was a pain to put on my nail. I ended up pouring some out into a palette and then putting individual pieces of glitter on my nails with an orange stick. Even with this method, it was still bumpy and I had bubbles after I put on a topcoat. That said, I think it is still super awesome (can you look at my blog redesign and tell me what inspired it? LOL), and I still want to play around with it to see if I can find a better way of application.
Starlight - multi-sizes and shapes (there are stars!) of silver holographic glitter in a clear base. I threw this one in my cart on a whim and I'm so happy I did. Of the 3 Candy Lacquers I picked up, Starlight has the best application. The glitters came out of the bottle easily, even the stars!
White Wedding - multi-shaped and sized matte white glitter in a clear base. Okay, so let's be honest... I got this one for the name. I also thought that it looked super cool in the bottle, but really... I got it for the name. LOL. So when I got it home, I was pleasantly surprised. I love this one over the bright red of Sooki, and think it would look equally as pretty over just about every color. Application on this one was a little harder than Starlight, but nowhere near as difficult as Argyle. I did have to go digging for the hearts, but that's to be expected.
All in all, I really like the 3 polishes I picked up from Candy Lacquer. Shipping was super quick and the owner, Sandra, was extremely pleasant. I kind of wish that application on a few of them was a little easier, but honestly, with big glitters, you kind of know going in to it that you may have issues with application.
Candy Lacquers are $8 a bottle are available through their Etsy store (though it is currently closed). For more information on restocks, please check their Facebook page.
Argyle, Starlight, and White Wedding were purchased by me. Links included within this post are not affiliate links.
