Literary Lacquers - Laters, Baby: All of the other charcoal/black holos can take a seat for a second.

I wish I could post these earlier but I'm also working on filming and editing a video for something REALLY important. And I didn't think that would take as long as it's taking :/

So let's begin with a bit of background for the book.  This is of course another polish from The Good Parts collection inspired by erotic fiction.  Literary Lacquers, Laters, Baby is inspired by Fifty Shades of Gray.  I don't know much about this book.  I think it's one of the more unknown pieces of erotic fiction in this collection.  It's the one with the painter that only paints naked people in gray.  Right?

Now on to the polish!

I know everyone is going crazy for those new Colour Club and China Glaze holo's. But in my honest opinion this is one of my favourites so far.  It's easy to make crazy holo's but I think it's much harder(especially with all the holos out now) to make something unique.

Laters, Baby does just that.  It is a pigmented charcoal mostly linear holo that was opaque in 2 medium coats.  Now here's where why it stands out.  Not only a linear holo it's also full of larger scattered holographic glitter.   When you are outdoors the linear holo takes center stage and the scattered takes a back seat, but still peeks through giving it that extra unf.  And indoors it's the opposite way around.  This polish NEVER falls flat.   It's not like any holo out there.

You guys should also know I took over 200 photos of this.  I went insane.  But fear not I will only be posting 150 of those.



 You can sort of see the larger holo glitter stand alone in these photos.  It's more evident in real life.  Also you can see a lot more.




 More photos where you can see the larger holo glitter
Photos wither taken in sun or indoors in natural light.

Wet N Wild: Night Prowl

Wet N Wild's Night prowl is a black/charcoal jelly base filled with fuschia glitter.  It's something that I could see wearing a lot more close to Halloween.   For this I used 3 coats for full opacity.  And the formula was superb.

I actually didn't think I would like this as much as I do.  It looks nice in the bottle but it looks even nicer on the nails.  I think I like this because it's a) Dark and b) Has glitter that isn't obnoxious.

I'm not sure where you would get this in Canada as we for some reason don't have a lot of Wet N Wild polishes (anymore) in the stores*.  On my visits to the states you can find Wet N Wild at pretty much any drug store.

Now on to the pictures! (Which by the way I'm still fiddling with day by day.  Trying to figure out what setting work best, lighting and all that jazz.)
