Indie: Lilacquer Science! Collection Swatch Spam!

Disclosure: The polishes in the following post were provided to me for review.

Hey guys! I have another new collection from Lilacquer to show you! These are all topcoats that have that cool glitter that looks clear-ish in the bottle, but shines different colours on the nail depending on the angle of the light. This is easily my favourite kind of glitter :D

The formula is easy to use and the names are so cute!

Lilacquer is releasing these on her shop one every couple of weeks. Checkout the release schedule below:

August 3rd - Schrodinger's Catastrophe
August 17th - Antimatter of Opinion
August 31st - Blueberry Pi
September 14th - A Quantum Entanglement
September 28th - Gluon Nails
October 12th - Bohr-ing
October 26th - Walk the Planck
November 9th - The God Particle

You can find Lilacquer polishes here on Etsy.

I did the swatches over a colour base and then black base.

Mini bottles! Also showing Lilacquer's new labels.

Reswatch: CND Jade Sparkle and Sapphire Sparkle

Two of my first CND effect polishes! They had terrible swatches, so I decided to update them!

CND Jade Sparkle layered over Illamasqua Milf - I kept this over ChG White Cap, which has a very similar look, but the CND has a clearer base which is better for layering, imo! I have a comparison of the two in this post.




CND Sapphire Sparkle over NARS Midnight Express
- This one is just beautiful. It's dupey to OPI I Juggle Men, but I heard that one seemed to react badly with quick dry top coats.




It's almost the weekend, right? RIGHT?! I have to go to the DMV this weekend to renew my driver's license (*shakes fist at being Canadian in America*) so that will be super depressing and boring. I have lots and lots of indie swatches coming up, so keep an eye out for that :D
