Ooh La Lacquer I'm A Matte 4 U

I was browsing Etsy and came across Ooh La Lacquer and the matte glitters. I really like matte glitters so I went for it because I seem to be easily swayed. Plus, the price is really nice at only $5 a bottle. They are very well made. I had no issue with the polish being thick or gooey which is sometimes an issue with these matte micro-glitter polishes. I also had great glitter payoff with just one coat. I'm very, very pleased. 

I'm A Matte 4 U is a combination of blue and pink matte glitter. This is one coat of over Essie Bond With Whomever. 

An extreme close up. It's sweet looking isn't it? Like candy. 


Normal photos. 




Ozotic 601

Another holo. I'm not bored of wearing them yet so you may be seeing a few more. Ozotic 601 is a scattered holo and I prefer them a smidge more to the linear finish holo polishes. It really does look like it moves in waves when I wiggle my fingers. I may be easily fascinated. 

This is two coats with topcoat. 







Color Club 2013 Halo Hues Collection

It seems these were released a bit earlier than Color Club expected. I was surprised to see these on Ebay but was pretty happy about it so I bought a set. These are amazingly and wonderfully holographic with a beautiful formula. They go on like a creme and I had no issues applying them like other holo polishes. If you have been hesitant about trying a holo because of the formula you should try these - just gorgeous! 

This is a heavy photo post and please pardon the dry hands. It's really cold here and my skin is showing it. I think I need to soak in lotion for an hour! I'm also wearing topcoat in all of these photos and it did not dull the holo effect. They all seem to have a slight metallic sheen to them that isn't very obvious but I do see it. I'm guessing it's the holographic pigment. 

On to the swatches! 

Beyond is a black holographic. This is one coat. One! This is a dense black and it reminds me of Jade Magia Negra. It's more black and opaque compared to Layla Flash Black. 






Eternal Beauty is a mid-tone grape purple. This photographed lighter and I tried to color correct it but I just couldn't. It's lighter than Color Club Wild at Heart and much, much more holographic. It's a bit darker than Layla Ultra Violet. It's about the same purple as China Glaze Gamer Glam but it seems to fall in between the color wheel of other purple holo polishes I have. 

Here is a color accurate but bad lighting photos. This is one coat as well. 


Here you can see it shows lighter and more pastel in looks but it's actually deeper with a slight dusty quality. 





Cosmic Fate is a peach/copper. This is in the same color family as Layla Coral Glam and maybe some older OPI Designer Series colors. The holo in this really stands out against the base color. This is two coats. 

Low light to show the base color better. 


Bright light. 





Over the Moon is, I think, my favorite. It's a bit lighter than Layla Ocean Rush and it reminds me of a few Ozotic holo polishes. A lovely deep aquamarine or a london blue topaz color. Yum! 

Low light. 


Bright light. 





Kismet is a lime green. It's a green and as much as I love green I wish Color Club had done a darker green. This is two coats. 

Low light. 


Bright light. 





Miss Bliss is a deep pink that has a slight magenta undertone. This is two coats. I'm drawing a blank on colors that are in the same family. I'm sure there are but my brain is just not pulling any out at the moment. 

Low light. 


Bright light. 





LeChat Carnaval Collection

Enter the giveaway!

I figured I would show the remaining three polishes from the Carnaval collection from LeChat. I showed Brazilian Muse, Queen of Drums and Trios Electricos. I think my pick of the group is Trios Electricos with 40 Days in Rio coming in second. 

40 Days in Rio is a vibrant magenta. This is a bit deeper and much more vivid in reality as opposed to these photos. I tried correcting it in PhotoShop but I couldn't get it right so imagine it better and brighter. The base is tinted so this could be worn alone at three coats. I am wearing one coat over a magenta shimmer/foil. 





Goddess of Samba is a red glitter in a slightly tinted base. It's the red version of 40 Days in Rio. This is one coat over a red creme. 





Electric Masquerade is a red, blue, green and gold/yellow glitter with some silver in there as well. This is one coat over a blue creme.
