Too Fancy Lacquer Christmas Collection Sneak Peek!

One of my favorite brands let me order 2 of her Christmas Collection shades before they were released! I picked Midnight Sonata and Champagne Cocktail.

Both shades went on smoothly and opaque in one coat. I was stunned because nude shades typically take some build up! Not this one! However, I did apply a second coat just for blogging purposes and to ensure the intensity of color for images.

I attempted to take my typical hand position photo but the color kept getting drained. So I put it against my white desk and pop! Champagne Cocktail has a pink/wine to it in certain lighting! Totally surprised! Midnight Sonata is a purple leaning blurple in my opinion! Stunning! If you guys have her birthday LE, Here Comes September!, Midnight Sonata is basically her dark sister.

Sweet Heart Polish Review

Long time, no post? I apologize. After that two weeks without a day off, my nails were so fragile and peeling. So I gave me some well deserved nubs. Now that my nails are back and healthy again, so are my posts!

First, I have some exciting news. Next Friday (yes, Black Friday) I will be battling my way into the abyss of ferocious moms and big-tv-loving dads to purchase a Canon Rebel DSLR. So beautiful swatches are coming your way! But until then I will be doing my usual, iPhone + macro lens. 

Onto the review, Cassandra from Sweet Heart Polish sent me three beautiful samples to review for you guys. I chose to review only two of them today to be able to give you guys two posts. However, here are some photos of all three shades!

(L to R: O'Connell!, Sands of Time, & Attack of the Crunchy Leaves)

I applied two very light coats of Sands of Time first which became opaque quite quickly to my surprise. It has a very subtle but gorgeous holo and a pearlescent feel to it. I wouldn't know how to describe this exact shade besides saying a mix between a nude and a gold. Exactly how I like it.

Then I added one, and maybe a half, coat of Attack of the Crunchy Leaves for accent nails. These two polishes go perfectly together. (I think that was intentional on Cassandra's behalf. ;P)

Attack of the Crunch Leaves has gold/rusty microglitter, hexglitter, and large round glitters. Now, personally I am not one for glitter but this mani PAINED me to take off. It went so well with the season and together. Oh how I loathe a job who forbids lacquer.

After all is said and done, I was mind-boggled by the quality of this new brand. The shades were beautiful. I can't wait to see more from her, and I will definitely be wearing this again. 

Xoxo!
