Black Dahlia Lacquer Prototype Swatches & Review

I was lucky enough to be given 9 prototypes from the soon to be polish company Black Dahlia Lacquer for review. Black Dahlia Lacquers are a Mother & Daughter company out of Texas, all polishes are 5 free and vegan. I  have a good assortment of holo's , shimmers, glitters, and crellies to show off, so on with the pics! :)
Let's start with my personal fave, a red linear holo...

Gorgeous, bright red holo, stunning in shade or sun, opaque in 2 coats, perfect thin formula

Next up...

A shimmery, light champagne nude, I used 3 coats  here, dries a little matte, but a coat of top coat is all it needs to bring out the lustre.

Up next...

A lovey silver with blue tones shimmer and holo polish, this is 3 coats, top coat brings out the shimmer and shine.

And now for...

A rich ox blood crelly, vampy and shiny, this is 3 coats.

Here we have...

A lovely lavender- ish purple holo, this is 3 coats.

Up next...

This one is a sand finish army green jelly with black and silver glitters, I put it over 2 different greens for the pics.  This polish gave me some problems as it doesn't like a second coat, it is being tweaked and reworked.

And now for...

This is a beautiful deep blue holo, opaque in 2 coats, great formula.

Up next is...

This is a periwinkle blue cream with shimmer and blue glitters, this is 1 coat over a periwinkle polish.  I did 3 coats of the polish all by itself at first, but found layering over a matching color gives best results.

And finally we have...

A hot pink jelly with assorted glitters, this is 3 coats, and I wasn't crazy about the large blue glitters, but this polish has plans to be reworked with different glitters.

Black Dahlia Lacquer will be opening soon, and I looking forward to keeping you all posted! Click on the link to like the Facebook page. Thanks so much for visiting :)

Too Fancy This Love Is Smokin' Hot

I just wanted to do a quickie post on one of my fave new Indie polish brands.. Too Fancy.  Highly pigmented holo polishes, opaque in 2 coats.  Lots of pinks! :)  I believe they are a Hong Kong based company, but they are available in the US at Color4Nails, they are currently In Stock but do sell out rapidly.  Color4Nails is an awesome distributor located in Las Vegas and boy do they ship fast and cheap!  A little over $2 for 1 polish, and shipping is free I believe after 6 polishes.  Too Fancy polishes are $11 on their site, not bad. If you love holo's you want to get yourself a slew of Too Fancy's ... That's their specialty! If you are a fan of CBL's holo formula, you will like Too Fancy, similar highly pigmented formulas with great coverage.  Check 'em out and let me know what your faves are.  For now here's one of mine...

Too Fancy This Love Is Smokin' Hot

There ya go! Pretty Barbie pink, not an insane holo, but the bright pink is pretty indoors or out which makes it a fave!

Black Dahlia Lacquer Blue Prototype

I was sent this polish for my honest review by the Mother & Daughter owned company called Black Dahlia Lacquer.  Their polishes are 5 free and vegan. Yay! :) Information on their Grand Opening to come.

The polish sent to me is a  medium cornflower blue linear holo. Looks beautiful in shade and lights up in the sun. Creamy and smooth application, opaque in 2 coats. No flaws or issues, no chips after 3 days of wear. Washington state rained all 3 days I wore this polish, but I managed to take advantage of the few minutes of sun peeking through rain clouds. Here come the plethora of pics...

     
Hope you enjoyed this preview & review of Black Dahlia Lacquer Blue Prototype, I'll keep you posted on their Grand Opening.  Have a great day :)
