Kiko Wisteria: You may not be the best polish, but at least you aren't a horrible person

Well I had...a day. First half of the day was great. Second, not so much. Long story short, got onto a commuter train, and some annoying guy who was with his son, asked if he could use my phone. I said no, for multiple reasons. One being I just didn't want him using my phone. Anyway, he got angry at me and started going off and calling me the N word, and saying how horrible black people can be. And this went on for a while. I was livid. It took a lot for me to not say anything. Long story short I contacted security, and technically I can press charges for harassment, but I'm not going to. I don't want to waste my time on filth like that. I will say I felt bad for the son(who was for sure biracial[not black though]), who was telling him to "Shut up" the whole time.

Now for the polish. This is two coats of Kiko Wisteria, a periwinkle textured polish, sans shimmer. I honestly didn't know how I would feel about this. I love textured polishes, but never loved the look of textured without shimmer. I always though it looked like a bumpy wall, but I decided to wear this today because I do love the colour. Honestly, I actually really liked it at first. I think it looks good on the nail, but from a far. I think textured polish in general looks better when it's not right in your face. What I didn't like about it was the dry time was it was longer than any other textured polish I own, and it got DIRTY from the dark foundation on my face. Which was impossible to wash off.

Overall I don't hate this polish, but I don't love it. Maybe I can find something artsy to do with it!

Literary Lacquers - Woman of Pleasure and Zipless: This post features naughty words!

So today I have two more polishes from Literary Lacquers The Good Parts Collection Woman of Pleasure and Zipless.

First up I have Woman of Pleasure.  Inspired by Fanny Hill:  Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure By John Cleland.  Written in 1748 it was banned in the UK and US until 1963.   This is actually one of the books on the list I REALLY want.  It's a periwinkle crelly with matte pink and magenta glitter along with blue and lavender glitter.  I used 3 coats, but if you use slightly thicker coats you could get away with 2.  When I first saw this polish I knew I was going to like it but I didn't think I would like it as much as I did.  I love how it looks on me and I think it's great for the summer.

 

Flash! A-ha!

Next is Zipless.  Inspired by Fear of Flying by Erica Jong.  Amy of Literary Lacquers said this was inspired by the narrators search for what she calls a "zipless fuck".  According the the author "It is "zipless" because "when you came together, zippers fell away like rose petals, underwear blew off in one breath like dandelion fluff. For the true ultimate zipless A-1 fuck, it was necessary that you never got to know the man very well." So no strings attached boinking.  This polish is a red jelly with orange undertones, small red glitter and holographic gold glitter, as well as larger medium sized gold glitter.  I used 3 coats for this.  While I like the polish itself I don't think it looks good on me.  But anything with orange in it is generally a hit or miss for me.  So I decided it layer one coat over Cult nails Quench, a red crelly.  I think it looked much better on me.  Although some of the red glitter was hidden.

 The next two are with Cult Nail Quench as undies.

You can find these polishes and more over at Literary Lacquers Etsy shop here.   The polishes(15ml bottles) retail for $10USD.  And follow Literary Lacquers on facebook(And you should also check out their giveaway that's on right now!).  One more from Literary Lacquer tomorrow!
