Posting is going to be a bit sporadic, but I appreciate you sticking around!  The long and short of it is that I am now solo parenting while the hubs works out of state for long bursts of time.  It's pretty much military living without the moving around so much and with better pay.  It's rough, especially with school season starting (we homeschool), but I'm still going to make it a point to carve out time to post at least twice a week.  Thanks for hanging out, you lovely people you!

Now let's get down to the ridiculously awesome collection I have to show you todayyyyyyyy.

BEHOLD!

Supermoon Lacquer has come out with a Kesha-inspired collection called "I Am Cannibal" and it is *glorious*!!!  Rather than talk about it let's just get to the swatches because DAYUM.

Please Note: ALL are shown in 2 coats with topcoat.  They are ALL opaque in 1-2 coats depending on how thick you apply your polish.  

"And You'll Be A Goner"

I like to call this one an a**hole polish to photograph.  In real life, it's a lovely lilac purple with a stunning blue shimmer and a smidgen of holo.  On camera, it's periwinkle.  No, it's purple.  No, it's a light purple.  WHAT THE FUDGE.  So if my skin looks a little funkay, it's because I made these photos as color accurate as possible to what the actual polish looks like versus what my lying camera tried to tell me it looked like.  

"Boys For Breakfast (And Lunch)"

*wipes drool from chin* You want a deep vampy blue with a purple shimmer?  You got it in this.  There's so much more to it than I could ever explain here.  It's just one of those polishes :D  Now initially, there was a funky formula issue with about 20% of this polish that went out to us bloggers - some of the pigment settled to the bottom of the bottle.  With a hardcore shake-a-thon it was fine and completely mixed.  So, the maker is offering both the sinky and a reformulated version of this to purchase - the sinkier one is cheaper, in case you wanna save a bit because you don't mind the extra shaking.

"Carnivore Animal"

Hands down - my favorite in the whole collection.  This one is a jaw dropper.  Rich chocolaty brown, intense holo, and a sexy red shimmer.  It is PERFECT for Fall!  Absolutely gorgeous.  Mmm Mmm GOOD!

"I Warned You"

Creamy bright orange-y coral with flakies and a subtle holo effect - this one is super fun and bright, and a nice alternative to a pink, if pink isn't your thang or doesn't like your skintone.  It's a nice color that I feel can be worn year-round, too.  Pair it with Carnivore Animal and you have a WOWZA mani on your hands (oh, pun completely intended there).

"Now I'm Gonna Eat You, Fool!"

You know how much I love me some blues.  This is a nice creamy blue with flakies and a subtle holo effect.  I think this would look GREAT in a winter mani - it's such a versatile blue!

"The Hunger"

I don't know how to describe this one properly - it's another polish like Boys for Breakfast (and Lunch).  No matter what I say, I can't do it justice in words.  It's a nice berry purple (it's pulling a little more grape purple in the photos, but it leans more towards a raspberry purple in real life) and it has a lovely violet shimmer with a holo effect.  If you love purple, you need this polish - absolutely NEED.

"The Kinda Guy I'd Stalk In School"

This is a lovely creamy teal/turquoise color, and I love that this has a bit more flakies in it than the other creams.  It's really beautiful, and another great one for Fall, because it's color, but calmed down, you know?  Love it.

"You Better Run"

Talk about a fun bubblegum pink!  This is so cute, and has a lovely subtle purple-to-red shimmer with it.  Great color!!

And I did a thing.  Crazy thing.  I paired polishes from the Ready to Launch collection with this one, and did some art with nail vinyls :D

"Boys For Breakfast (And Lunch)" with "Cosmic Dust"

"Carnivore Animal" with "Star Cloud"

Supermoon Lacquer's "Ready To Launch" Collection!

***Press Sample***

Howdy!  I do apologize for being so radio-silent.  I had a lot of personal family stuffs come up over the last two weeks that has been taking up some time.  Now that that is all through and done, I can finally get back to polish shenanigans!!

Speaking of which - let's get down to today's polish topic of awesome!!  Today we'll be looking at the "Ready to Launch" collection by Supermoon Lacquer - the polish brand of the Howling Boutique!

I am so stinkin' excited to share this collection with you, you have NO IDEA.  So, a little back story for you...

The Howling Boutique started by selling handmade jewelry, most (if not all) of which is made with polish she created specifically for her craft.  The owner decided to venture into making polish for the general public, and I gotta tell you, this inaugural collection?  GORGEOUS.

Space was the inspiration for these polishes, and her interpretations are just spot on.  Let's get to it!

*All photos are shown wearing 2 coats with topcoat; all art is freehand with matte topcoat.

First up: Stellar Stream

Stellar Stream is a coral-leaning (in some lighting) bubblegum pink with a brilliant blue shimmer.  Applies smoothly and evenly and is opaque in 2 coats.

Next up: Rosette Nebula

Rosette Nebula is a berry pink/burgundy holo.  This beauty could be opaque in 1 coat, though I have a very strong Visible Nail Line, so I did an extra coat.

Next: Cosmic Dust

Cosmic Dust is a stunning multi-chrome that shifts from a red/violet to magenta and then to a dark red/orange.  Opaque in 2 coats, and applies like a dream!  Apologies for the bubbles - those are from the topcoat I was using, NOT the polish.

Here we have: Galactic Halo

 
Galactic Halo is a beautiful dark purple with a scattered holo and strong violet/blue shimmer - it really makes this one quite a stunner in the sun, especially!  Opaque in 2 coats.

Next up: Mystic Mountain

Mystic Mountain is a dusty multichrome that shifts from green to blue/purple to red.  The red is much more subtle, but still present.  This one was not only my favorite of the collection, it is the most unique of the collection!  Opaque in 2 coats.

Next is: Pistol Star

Pistol Star is a holographic duochrome that shifts from a bright blue to a subtle purple.  This one is another stunner in direct sunlight!  Opaque in 1-2 coats, depending on how you apply it.

Here we have: Star Cloud

Star Cloud is a lovely aqua/medium blue with a gold/green shimmer.  Definitely can be opaque in one coat, and I'm willing to bet money it also stamps... I'll have to try that - for science!

Next is: Tidal Disruption

Tidal Disruption is a beautiful deep teal green with a gold/green shimmer.  Another that could very well be opaque in 1 coat!

And lastly we have: Polar Light

Polar Light is a gorgeous light green scattered holo with a brilliant gold/green shimmer and a subtle sprinkling of blue/green iridescent microglitters.  This one is sooooooo stunning in sunlight - the gold really shines through. Opaque in 1-2 coats, depending on how you apply.

Overall, I am just blown away by this collection!  The creator did a great job, and before she even created the official collection, she had several people test the polishes out for her to make sure there were no formula issues/wear issues/etc.  She really did her homework!  And it absolutely shows.

You can snag one or all of these beauties tonight at 6pm CST at the Howling Boutique shop, linked below along with her social media so you can stalk/follow the brand ;)
