Flying time aside, let's talk about a new-to-me indie nail polish brand called ALIQUID Lacquer! I love the story behind the company (found here), and I love the polishes even more :) I have two to show you today - one is from the newly-released Phantom of the Opera themed collection, and the other is a charity polish for the ASPCA. Let's start with Maze of Mirrors:
Outdoors (It was a bit overcast today)
Indoors
Maze of mirrors is a glitter polish with holographic, black, and blue shreds, as well as holographic hex and square glitters with silver flakies, and a somewhat blue flash/shimmer to it in certain lighting. Since this is a full-coverage glitter, you only really need 2-3 coats of it on its own for it to be completely opaque. I chose to use it as a topper over black and white, so you can see what it looks like over a dark and light colored polish.
Application was not too bad - the larger pieces of glitter tended to clump together, though it's tough to find a glitter polish that DOESN'T do that. It is a thick polish, so it took a little longer to dry, though no longer than about 5 minutes. I love the look of this polish in all types of lighting, because it is always shifting and sparkling!! Maze of Mirrors is a really lovely polish I would definitely recommend to all you glitter-lovers out there :)
The second polish is called Puppy Love- check it out:
Outdoors (Not so overcast :P )
Indoors
Puppy Love is a teal blue with pink and gold glitter flecks. It also has a subtle holographic shimmer in direct sunlight. I used 3 coats to make it completely opaque, and each went on very smoothly, and dried in under 5 minutes to a shiny finish, though I did add a topcoat in the photos. Puppy Love is a Limited Edition charity polish in honor of "Adopt a Shelter Dog" month, and will only be available till the end of October. $5 from every bottle sold will be donated to the ASPCA - what a great cause!! I'm partial to this charity, because I have two rescue dogs myself :)
