Sassy Lacquer Sea Glass

Hey there,

I've got yet another Sassy to show you today!

Sea Glass is another one from the 'Inspirational Blogger' collection. This one was developed with the help of Sara from My Life In Polish.

Sea Glass is a sheer seafoam jelly (it's a bit milky) with fine turquoise square and hex glitter. This is 4 coats. Surprisingly it doesn't get too thick or gluggy and still dries kind of fast so that makes up for the sheerness.

In person, SG is more vibrant, unfortunately we're in the midst of constant rain and overcast skies, so my camera really struggles to capture the true colour!

The formula is on the thinner side and is easy to apply.

I think SG would be a good glitter sammy topper too!

Sassy Lacquer is available HERE and they just released a new collection.

Last year when I really got into polish, I hated the sheer look. Any VNL and I was a grumpy bum :) I bought just one OPI Texas 'sorbet' finish lacquers and was pretty annoyed that it required 4 coats to hide my tips.

Now, I freaking love sheers. There's so many layering possibilities and they are so nice as palate cleansers or for Spring and Summer :) 

Who can't get on board with sheer/jelly nail polish? Why?

Happy Monday Lacquerheads!

I trust your weekends were full of wonderfulness!
I've been a bit busy with essays and keeping warm for the last few days so the blog has been on the back burner.

In case you didn't see last week I did a guest post on Sparkly Vernis. You can click the photo of my manicure below to be go to that post!

And on to another one of my new polishes from Sassy Lacquer!

Isn't Cap & Gown freaking awesome?!
It's a royal blue crelly base - sort of too milky to be an actual jelly - with black matte glitter in small and medium hexagons and diamond shapes! It does sort of scream GRADUATION. Application was pretty good, the base has a lovely texture, but the glitter wanted to move with each brush stroke. I ended up using 2-3 coats and 2 layers of top coat. The bubble on my pinkie is from the INM Out the Door - it's thickening like SV does and I really need to add some thinner!

Next time I might just layer 1 coat over a blue base for an easier application. I can't get enough of the blue base though! Soooo yummy.

I WOULD LOVE TO GT SOME FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF ON NAIL POLISH ANON. IF YOU WOULD BE SO KIND AS TO LEAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION, I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER?!

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so glad it's almost the weekend :) It feels like this week has gone on and on and on; so I'm well ready for a wee break.

FYI I'm Guest Blogger for August (understudy actually, lol) over on Sparkly Vernis so check out the post if you like, but definitely take a squizz at Alex's blog because she does some great manicures. Lots of layering, lots of glitter, lots of AWESOMENESS!
I tried to copy Sparkly's 'order of layering' that she does at the end of each post (so you know exactly which polishes and treatments she used for each mani and the order she applied them) but it only lasted 1 day or so. Turns out I'm too lazy!!! And I never write it down so I forget most of the time!!

My Sassy Lacquer order arrived on Wednesday! I've been anticipating these polishes for about a month or so, so as soon as I ripped open the box, I had to put one on!

Sarahdipity is part of the Inspirational Blogger collection. Sarah from Chalkboard Nails helped design it - hence the name! It's a sheer lilac jelly with medium and large matte white hex glitter. It's very delicate but the white hexes give it a little bit of flare.
I didn't flip out over the application though. It's very sheer and I had some trouble with streakiness. Also you might need to place the glitter a little if you use thin coats. I'm wearing 3 coats in the photos and there was still some VNL but my nails aren't that long so it looked alright.
There are bits of what I believe to be dark purple pigment on some of my nails. At the time I thought they were black specks but since looking at the photos I think it must be pigment, so I will be sure to shake my bottle up before I use it next time.

Sarahdipity would make a great top coat for something like OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, if you dislike sheer polish.

Even though it didn't apply like a dream, I think it's worth the effort! A pale purple milky jelly was #1 on my wishlist and if I apply Sarahdipity carefully I can avoid all the glitter so it's a 2 in 1 baby! I've always been a sucker for multi-purpose products!!!!

If you could design a polish, what would it look like?

I got the polish I won from Llarowe's last giveaway today - Lorena HD Rumba. It's a gorgeous teal green glass fleck shimmer. What a great jump start on my weekend!!!
