Initial Lacquer Swatches & Review!

Hey guys! I have another new [to me] indie brand to show you today! Initial Lacquer!

Arctic Night, Dessert Time, Paradise Kiss, Santa Went Crazy!, & Snowy Owl.


Arctic Night
"a blue jelly base with holo silver,green and red micro fine glitters."
I used three thin coats of Arctic Night. The formula was really smooth and went on super easy and evenly!

Dessert Time
"a clear base mixed with matte glitters"

I layered Dessert Time over Elf Fab Fuchsia. Not really the best layering combination on my part, it makes it hard to see the bright colored glitters. Went on easily and evenly, I do wish there were more bright glitters but I also didn't fish for any.
 
Paradise Kiss
"a white shimmer base mixed with Iridescent and matte glitters."

The formula on Paradise Kiss wasn't that great, it's a bit thick but  bearable.

It can be opaque in three coats but it looks lumpy so I prefer it layered over white. 

The bottom two pictures are two thin coats layered over white. I think I may add a tiny bit of thinner to this though.

Santa Went Crazy!
"a sheer metallic silver base with glitters"

I wanted to pair this polish in a way where you guys could see that it's not just for the holidays!
I layered two thin coats over Opi German-icure. The second picture is matteified!
I really love this combo, it is so odd and neat! And I love the red circle glitters so much!
The formula was really good, spread evenly and not overly thick.

Snowy Owl
"a clear base with gold, white and holo silver glitters"

I decided to layer Snowy Owl over Arctic Night, I think I just used one coat..but it could have been 1.5.
I just love the itty bitty micro bar glitters! I know a lot of people hate bar glitter but not me!
Especially the little tiny ones. The formula was great, spread on very evenly with ease.
