Aly's Dream Polish- Copper, Coral Red, Firebrick, Gold, Gold Tinged Holo

Hey friends! I realized I forgot Coral Red in my last order (which completed my collection of all Aly's reds in the Holo Euphoria Collection). Somehow when I ordered it, I ended up ordering a few other colors too...
So here you have it. A few more Aly's swatches for your week.

First up is Copper. I've noticed a trend with the "metal" colors. Aly added a special flashy, smooth, big shimmer that corresponds to the color. While these pictures don't show it off at all, you will have to trust me on this. It's very beautiful, and I honestly hope she makes more colors with this magic dust in it!
Copper is the color of a slightly dulled penny. It doesn't quite have as much pink tone as brand new copper, but more like a well-loved penny, with more brown tones.

Coral Red is a slightly muted orang-ish red with the slightest pink tint. The indoor pictures make it look more pink than it really is in person.

Firebrick is really a lot more stunning than I originally gave it credit for. The exact color is rather hard to explain. It's almost as if a pink-tinted red and brown were mixed together and muted a bit.

Gold has that same flash/shimmer fantasical stuff in it. More of a muted yellow, this polish is rather bright. The indoor pictures were all taken under the same lighting within seconds of each other, but my camera went kooky with this color, so some color variation happened. The yellow is definitely on the warmer side than cooler.

Last color of this post is probably my favorite of the five. When I first saw the color in the bottle, it almost looked like it had a sage tint to it. Once I put it on, I saw it was this beautiful soft, very light warm gold tinted holo- hence the name :)

Lilypad Lacquer Reviews: I Kissed the Sun, Baby Boy Blue, Seascape, and Splash! [PIC HEAVY]

Well hi there fellow polish lovers! It's me again, back with more Lilypad Lacquer polishes. I just wanted to make a few comments before I start- yes, I am aware there are flecks of glitter on my fingers and near my cuticles. I was not smart in my removal of I Kissed the Sun, and thus when I went back to remove the remaining glitters, they stuck like glue. They are gone now, but it is yet another example of why glitters have been called by some questionable metaphors of the years. :P

This first color, Baby Boy Blue, is a beautiful sky blue with soft holo.

The holo is more obvious than these pictures let on, but alas I waited until the late afternoon to take pictures, so the lighting was not as helpful as  it could have been.

I Kissed the Sun is a somewhat sheer yellow shimmer with gold holographic glitters. I was really nervous about using a yellow polish, and this is a brave polish to use, in my opinion. The yellow is bright, but without the gold glitter, it might give the wrong impression, if you know what I mean.
Regardless, I love it, so it's staying in my stash :)

I added an indoor swatch for reference.

This was easy to remove the base polish, but without quick removal, the glitter can stick around your nail bed and be difficult to remove without a good hand-washing.

 Seascape is so hard to describe! Sometimes it appears as a light turquoise, sometimes as a sky blue. The result gives a soft, velvet-y sheen when combined with the holo.

The indoor shot shows more of the turquoise tint.

Last up is Splash! This one is a pretty turquoise with gold shimmer flash. This one almost feels like a jelly.

The gold flash can be easier seen in the indoor shot.
Opacity: 2

Removal: 4.5
The gold shimmer takes an extra swipe to remove.
