Christmas Goodies from Liquid Sky Lacquer (Picture Heavy)!

Hello Lacquer Luvers! The holidays sure are approaching fast aren't they? I might not have done much (Ok, Ok, I haven't done ANY *hangs head in shame*) festive nail art yet this year but I do have a little something for you all to feast your eyes on. Carolyn, the maker behind Liquid Sky Lacquer, sent me some beautiful nail polish treats and I'm very happy to share my swatches with you all today! Let's get right into it, shall we?


The first swatch I have to share with you is of White Christmas:



White Christmas is described as "white with slight silver holo that reminds you of snow falling on Christmas Day!" And it does! I applied three coats of this beauty to reach complete opacity. The formula was great! It wasn't streaky at all. It applied more like a cream. I didn't put topcoat on this one.

 

My next swatch is of Ho! Ho! Ho!, a red, white, black, and gold glitter bomb that is so beautiful! Photo'd below is one coat of Ho! Ho! Ho! over White Christmas. I love this combination but probably should've put this over a cream so that it isn't "too much."  Who am I kidding? It's the holidays! The more glitz the better, right?!




Next up is a polish that made my heart skip a beat. Or two. Or three. Twilight Peacock is a holographic duochrome that shifts from purple to cyan. There really isn't words to describe this. It's glorious! The formula is perfection as it only took two coats to reach opacity. The pictures say it all, just look:




'Tis The Season is a green, white, and red glitter bomb with the tiniest sprinkling of holographic sparkle. This polish is so festive you won't be able to help but to think of things like candy canes, fancy packages and beautiful wreaths. I applied one coat of 'Tis The Season over a green cream.




Hot Cocoa With Whip is up next. It's a chocolate, caramel and white glitter  I enjoyed looking at my nails when I wore this because it made me think of cold winters up north as a kid. This polish is unique to my collection as it's one of the first brown glitters I've seen and I absolutely love it. Here's one coat of Hot Cocoa With Whip over a nude cream.
 



The next beauty I get to show you is Don't Eat The Yellow Snow. It is a yellow and white glitter topper with varying sizes of hexagonal glitter. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that phrase growing up. It's so funny to see it on the bottle! This polish applied nicely over my navy base and this was just one coat.





Lastly, there's Holly Berries which is comprised of tiny gold glitter, small red hexagonal glitter and green bars. I gotta admit, at first glance this was my least favorite but here I am, writing this post 2 days after swatching these and I'm still wearing it... because I love it! It's so blingy that I had to take the pics in the shade because the sun couldn't handle all of this gorgeousness. This is one coat over a matte black base.




These 7 polishes are from Liquid Sky Lacquer's holiday collections: CHRISMAHANNUKWANZAA, Christmas Holodays. These polishes are currently available for purchase and you can do so when you Visit Liquid Sky Lacquer By Clicking Here. Not only are these creations beautiful, the formulas are all perfection. Each one applied effortlessly without me having to fish for glitter or dab it on for placement. My personal favorites are White Christmas, Twilight Peacock & Holly Berries but, like I said before, I love them all! Which are your favorites? I'm looking forward to seeing what Carolyn creates next year, are you? As always,  I hope you all enjoyed this post my dear Lacquer Luvers and I look forward to sharing my next post with you all, xo!
