Spring has sprung here in Australia (although I think Melbourne may have missed the notice seems it is still cold and raining) and what a better way to bring in the new season than with some new polishes? Lilypad Lacquer have released thirty gorgeous new holographic polishes. Yes you did read that correctly. There is thirty new shades. I have half of the new releases to share with you this week (which I will be sharing over three posts) and then the other half are in my "need to swatch" once I have moved into our new house. Fingers crossed for no nail breaks, cuts on my hands and plenty of sunshine so I can swatch them. Right now let's get into the first lot of five polishes I have.

To save myself repeating myself throughout this post, all of these polishes are so easy to use. They apply well and are opaque in two to three coats. All of my pictures have been taken in direct sunlight as well as outdoors in shade. All swatches are done without top coat.
Atomic Apple is a bright lime green holographic. I quite like the colour of this one. The formula is a little sheer on the first coat, however does build up nicely. You could get away with two coats but you may have a very slight visible nail line. My swatch shows three coats.

Bohemian Gypsy is a pink toned purple holographic. Now there is no surprise that I love this one. The colour is just gorgeous! The formula is very similar to Atomic Apple. My swatch shows three coats.

Fanta-Sea is a bright orange holographic. This is quite an interesting polish. As you can see from my pictures the polish looks slightly different on my nails than it does in the bottle. I'm not sure if it's my body chemist or not but when I applied the polish it starts as a golden orange and changes to a bright orange as it dries. The formula is a little on the sheer side and needs three coats to be opaque.

Mon Cheri is a crimson holographic. Nice colour and easy to use. I used three coats for my swatch.

Nero is blue toned black holographic. I love this one in the sun. So pretty. This one applies really evenly and is opaque in two coats.

How pretty are these polishes? I honestly can't wait for more sunny (and warmer) weather to get lots of wear out of these holos. My personal favorite from these five would have to Bohemian Gypsy. I will have the other two parts of this release coming later this week and I will add links to this post when the posts are up. You definitely don't want to miss the other posts.

All five of these shades are available now from Lilypad Lacquer.
The green and the orange are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSorry Christy. I just realized that I never actually replied to your comment. We are having internet issues in the new house. It should be sorted in the next 2 months though (grrrr).
DeleteThe green and orange are quite nice - maybe some good Halloween polishes :)
Atomic Apple drew me in to this post. I love that colour. The rest are totally gorgeous too, however that green - wowza!

It definitely makes an impact doesn't it? It definitely grabbed my attention when I opened the package.
