Today I'm starting out with 2 colours from Literary Lacquers collection inspired by erotic fiction.
First off is Bionic Mmmm-Detector. Inspired by Nicholson Bakers novella Vox. Which is written completely as one one phone sex conversation between strangers. The polish is a black jelly base filled with tiny blue, aqua and teal glitter. And it's also laced with fine silver shimmer which gives it an extra pop. Now as someone who does not wear teal(at all), I feel found myself liking it a lot! I used 3 coats on every finger MINUS my ring finger. I used one coat of Bionic over a single coat of of L'oreal After hours(a dark blue almost black crelly.) There wasn't a huge difference but it tended to bring out a BIT more of the blue and it did take away slightly from the overall effect. But nothing to cry over.
Two coats of topcoat used. Although one coat would be fine.
The next one My Secret Garden is inspired by Nancy Fridays book of the same name. Which is "Hundreds of real women responded to Nancy Friday's call for details of their own most private fantasies. My Secret Garden is the daring compilation of those fantasies." The polish is a glitter top coat filled with pink, blue, green, and light purple matte glitter and filled with smaller iridescent glitter. I layered it over Essence Oh My Glitter! and OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls. I used one thick coat on each. I loved how they looked on both the lighter and darker colours. My suggestion would be if you want the iridescent glitter to be more visible layer it over something darker. More subtle(but just as pretty) layer it over something lighter. This polish is like spring in a bottle :) I suggest everyone buy it and then wear it to church for Easter.
And yes this is actually different from the 3 previous photos. The white is China Glaze White Ice and the pink is CG Free fall. In person they both looked horrific. They are old polishes that would not dry and made application hard. And since I actually wanted to wear this after a couple photos I removed it.
Now I don't read

I really like the colors in My Secret Garden. It's even cuter that you chose a variety of colors to layer it over showing off it's true beauty.
