Lilypad Lacquer "A Grip of Greens" Review (PIC HEAVY) [Minty Moment, Aqua-disiac, My Enchantmint, Too Much Excitemint, Clover All Over, Wishing Well]

Well hi everyone!! I know it's been a little too long since I last posted. I have had these swatches in my arsenal for quite a while, but I haven't found the time to type up this review until now!

Today I'm reviewing quite a few (but not all) of Lilypad Lacquer's mint and green shades. As you'll notice from the label, these polishes are handmade in Australia. They are available internationally, but rates may vary, so if you would like to order, you can contact her through her Etsy shop to work out the details.
Just a little reminder: I don't use bottom or top coats in my swatches unless I state otherwise.

First up, Minty Moment- a mint holo with blue/purple iridescent shimmer.

Opacity: 3

Application: 4.5

I found it just a little thick at first, but it smoothed out nicely with a second coat.

Wear: unknown

Removal: 5

# of coats: 2

Aqua-disiac (very similar to Minty Moment)- a strong mint holo with a pearly finish.

Opacity: 2.5

Application: 5

Wear: unknown

Removal: 5

# of coats: 3

My Enchantmint (slightly lighter than piCture pOlish's Jade)- a saturated mint soft holo with a very subtle silver shimmer.

Opacity: 3

Application: 4.75

The tiniest bit of thickness.

Wear: unknown

Removal: 5

# of coats: 2 (HK Girl top coat on middle and pinky fingers)

Too Much Excitemint (very similar shading to Butter London Slapper)- a very bright & saturated teal holo.

Opacity: 4.5

Application: 5

Wear: unknown

Removal: 5

# of coats: 2 (HK Girl top coat on middle and pinky)

Clover All Over (ever-so-slightly more blue tint than Lilypad's Global Greenie)- a true green strong holo with blue shimmer.

Opacity: 3

Application: 5

Wear: unknown

Removal: 5

# of coats: 2

Last but not least- Wishing Well- a color-shifting green-violet holo polish with gold micro glitter.

I could not capture the green shift in pictures, but it is there. It's also more visible in indoor lighting.

Opacity: 2.5

Application: 5

Wear: 5

Removal: 5

# of coats: 2

The gal that makes these polishes is such a pleasure to work with. I'm not only hooked on this brand because of the colors, but also because of the great customer service I've had! I have some more of these beauties on the way to me as I type this. Hopefully, weather permitting, I will have another review for you a lot sooner this next time!

piCture pOlish Majesty and Attitude Review

I think you all know how much I love piCture pOlish, but in case you didn't, I have two new reviews to share ;)
You can buy these here or just Majesty here. Since the links are for different prices, I'll just average it out and say it costs about $12 for 11 mL.
I put these two together in one review since they're both technically flaky holos, but Majesty is really so much more than that. You'll see what I mean...

Attitude is in the same category as Ocean, O'Hara, and Cosmos, to name a few. It's a very pretty dark violet with tiny flecks of holo-ey goodness.

Opacity: 4.5

Application: 5

Wear: 5

Removal: 5

# of coats: 2

Base and top coat: none

The real star of the show is Majesty. This polish really is majestic in every way. Aside the fact it's mainly gold, there's also a somewhat pink duochrome color shift, and the entire polish is a soft, flaky holo. I cannot explain to you how stunning I find this polish.

Opacity: 2.75

Application: 5

Wear: 5

Removal: 5 (comes off like a creme)

# of coats: 2

No base or top.

LOOK at that color shift!! Pictures do not do this polish justice!!

Majesty might be one of my favorite piCture pOlish colors of all time...

Enchanted Polish "Across the Universe" Review (PIC HEAVY)

This particular polish I am about to review may very well be one of my favorite polishes of all time. "Across the Universe" has been known to be a stunner, and now that I own it, I can see why. Known as a "duochrome" or "multichrome", this polish changes from a deep royal blue to a vibrant violet as it moves in the light. That's not its only trick though. The polish also contains a slight holographic shimmer as well. As if this formula could be any more beautiful! Without further ado, here are some pictures:

Artificial light:

 Natural light:

I also wanted to point out the slightly gold/green tinge that forms at the edges of the bottle, shown above. Although this isn't as noticeable on the nail, the effect is beautiful nonetheless.

 Shown below are two coats of color. Although this isn't completely opaque, the appearance is still gorgeous.

I think this polish could be layered over a white or black polish and it might create a totally different look!

I can see the universe in this polish, can you?
