Gothic Gala Lacquers Burlesque Girls Collection

***Press Sample***

Y'all.

Y'. ALL.

This collection is amazing. AMAZING!!

I'm not even gonna say anything else, I'm just gonna let the swatches speak for themselves!

I lied - I'm gonna say two more things:

1. This collection is a re-vamped version or her original Burlesque Girls - this one has more holoooooooooooo!!!

2. In all but one set of swatches I am wearing two coats of the polish plus a topcoat.

Onto the Holo Glory!!

First up: Opal Jamila

Direct Sunlight

Opal Jamila is a white pearlescent polish with holographic flakies. This is the only polish I used 3 thin coats instead of 2 normal coats, because it was the only one that was a tiny bit thick, and a little less opaque and I didn't want any VNL.

Next up: Sassy Citrine

Sassy Citrine is a yellow gold holo polish. This is definitely one of the smoother gold holos I've come across, but you do want to be mindful of your brush strokes.

Next up: Lili St. Cyr

Lili St. Cyr is a gorgeous Kelly green holo with subtle blue micro flakies - which are AMAZING and really add to the flare!

Next: Misty Bon Bon

Misty Bon Bon is a lovely teal holo with subtle green micro flakies - again, really adding to that flare in the holo.

Next we have: Dannie Diesel

Dannie Diesel is a very beautiful medium sky blue with subtle blue micro flakies, and it is diviiiiiiiiine!!! It is such a brilliant blue, definitely a must-have, and my second favorite in the collection!

Next: Krystal Sparkle

Krystal Sparkle is a deep blue holo jelly with various sizes and shapes of holo glitters throughout. This was, in my experience, one of the easier jellies with glitter to apply - I didn't have to "encourage" certain larger pieces of glitter to spread out and not clump. It applied very well and evenly!

Next: Perle Noir

Perle Noir is a dusty blue holo polish with subtly purple micro flakies. Those flakies really give this polish character, and make it look almost purple in some lighting - I love it!

Next up: Sinfully Stephanie

Sinfully Stephanie, a beautiful blurple polish with a strong holographic effect, is a must have for all the purple lovers out there. It is so gorgeous and vampy - it's just perfect, and an excellent darker choice for the changing season!

Next: Dita Von Teese

Dita Von Teese is a Berry holo polish and is another jaw dropper in the sunlight - I mean, just look at that flame!!! Unnf!!!

And lastly we have: Gypsy Rose Lee

Gypsy Rose Lee is a rose pink holo polish with subtle pink micro flakies. I'm not usually a fan of pink, but I love that this one is just a but on the dustier side, which made it so perfect for me and my skin tone, as well as for the Fall Season (hey - Fall's not just about brown, orange, and yellow, mmkay?).

This gorgeous Burlesque Girls collection is available NOW! And you have until about 8pm PST to get it before it is gone forever - that's right, it absolutely pains me to say that Gothic Gala Lacquers will be closing her doors :( She's holding a HUGE 50% off sale right now - use the code CLOSING at check out. She wanted me to add that she reserves the right to end the sale early if she runs out of supplies - wouldn't make sense for her to have to buy more when she's closing up shop.

I do urge you to still follow her, especially on Instagram, as she may be dipping her toes into the swatching waters, and from the nail art I've seen her do thus far, she's definitely a person you're gonna want to follow!!!

Polish was sent to me by the maker for photography purposes and an honest review, which I have provided above with full disclosure.

Gothic Gala Lacquers "Tropical Sunsets" Collection

I've got a gorgeous collection from Gothic Gala Lacquers to show you today!! This is the "Tropical Sunsets" collection and it is gawgeous! Each polish is themed off a famous beach. So let's get to the swatches!

First up: Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach is a purple with pink undertones and a subtle holographic effect. Opaque in 2 coats.

Next: Eleuthera

Eleuthera is a gorgeous emerald green with a subtle holographic effect. Opaque in 2 coats.

Here we have: Jobson's Cove

Jobson's Cove is a neon pink with pinky/orange flakies. Opaque in 2-3 coats, depending on how thick you apply.

Next: Matira Beach

Matira is a lovely deep royal/midnight blue with blue flakies. Opaque in 2-3 coats depending on how thick you apply. And it looks divine with a matte topcoat, as shown in the last photo :D

Here is: Navio Beach

Navio Beach is a neon orange reminiscent of orange soda :D It has golden/orange flakies throughout and is opaque in 2-3 coats, depending on how you apply.

And lastly we have: Punalu'u Beach

Punalu'u Beach is a black jelly packed with black holographic micro glitter. Opaque in 2-3 coats, depending on application.

Overall I really appreciated the variety in this collection. I love that they are colors of the rainbow, as seems to be the trend this year, but that they are a mix of holos, jellies, flakies, neons, etc. It's always nice to see multiple choices!!

This collection is available TODAY at 12pm PST - use the code MOMMRSANDME25 to get 25% off your order, because I love you ;)
