Swatch and Review: Lolita Lacquer Petrichor Collection!

Hey y'all! Spring is just around the corner which means spring nail polish collections have begun their roll out including this one that I have to share with you today from Lolita Lacquer! This gorgeous mini collection is called the Petrichor collection. Petrichor is a word that describes the smell that accompanies the first rain after a while of dryness. Its such a cute name for a spring collection considering all the rain that usually rides in alongside of spring. Enough of my rambling on and on. You came for the polish - let me show you these beauties!

First up in the collection is Bluejay Blues, a cornflower blue crelly filled with matte pink, blue, and teal hexes and smaller circle glitters. The formula is nice and thin but easy to control. I didn't experience any application difficulties, each coat self leveled nicely. Bluejay Blues is opaque in 2 coats. My swatch shows two thin coats plus glossy topcoat. 

Drowning Daisies in direct artificial lighting

Next up is Drowning Daisies, a medium toned yellow crelly filled with matte purple, pink, and iridescent hexes and small circle glitters. The formula on Drowning Daisies is identical to Bluejay Blues - nice and thin but no pooling or running. Each coat self leveled beautifully and Drowning Daisies is opaque in two coats. My swatches show two thin coats plus glossy topcoat.

Toad In A Hole in direct artificial lighting

The final polish in the Petrichor collection is Toad In A Hole, a gorgeous apple green crelly filled with matte pale green, blue, and yellow hexes and smaller circle glitters. The formula on Toad is also identical to the others in the collection with an awesome easy and thin formula that applies to opacity in two coats. My swatch shows two coats plus glossy topcoat.

If you're as in love with this little collection as I am, you'll want the details of course! The Petrichor collection launches February 26th along with a restock of mani bombs including some new ones! You can find them all in the Lolita Lacquer Store and find more information about upcoming restocks on the Lolita Lacquer Instagram page!

Green Glitter Indie Polish Spring Duo swatch and review!

***Press Sample***

Hey y'all! 

Today on the blog, I have a swatch and review of the Green Glitter Indie Polish Spring Duo! I am so happy that spring is officially here and we can all start to open up our windows and break out the bright colors. 

Bobbi from Green Glitter Indie Polish was kind enough to send me her Spring Duo to swatch and review and I was so happy to do so! The Spring Duo features two bright and ultra feminine shades called Watermelon Spritzer and Orange Creamsicle.

Better known as GG Indie Polish, all of Bobbi's polishes are big 5 free and cruelty free. They are supposed to be quick drying and long lasting. I did find that they dried quickly after applying which was actually a pleasant surprise for me because I didn't know that they had that quality! I never wear polish for very long, especially when I am swatching but I did wear Orange Creamsicle for two full days and only had very minor tip wear. I found that to be impressive since I am a stay at home mother of two boys which means lots of playing with cars, cleaning dirty hands, and folding laundry! 

Let's move on to the swatches. 

Watermelon Spritzer, 3 coats with topcoat 

Watermelon Spritzer was the first polish out of the duo that I swatched. It can best be described as a bright pink polish with gold micro shimmer throughout. This is shown in 3 coats plus top coat. I had no issues with the application of this polish and was very pleased with how it leveled itself out. The finish is not quite a cream or a jelly, but a crelly. I loved how squishy it was even though it was completely opaque. 

I included the macro of Watermelon Spritzer so that the gold shimmer is easier to see.

Orange Creamsicle, 3 coats with topcoat

Moving on to my favorite of the duo, this is Orange Creamsicle. This polish can best be described as a peachy orange crelly polish with matte white circle glitter throughout. I found no issues with the application of this one either. I didn't have to do any major fishing to get the glitter out which surprised me because the glitter in this polish isn't densely packed. I expected to be fishing around forever but they came out almost all on their own! This is 3 coats with topcoat. Again, SO squishy. 

Here's a macro to show the glitter, this was on my thumb and all of these came out on their own.

Overall, I give this duo a thumbs up. Both polishes had formulas that were very easy to apply which is really my gauge on the quality of a polish when I first try it. I am really excited to try more polishes from GG Indie Polish! This duo is still available in her store if you'd like to purchase it. You can find it HERE. You can follow news on future releases and see more swatches on her INSTAGRAM. Go check her out!
