Literary Lacquers

Wow this is going to be picture heavy. I loved every one of these polishes. I am going to show a couple of neutrals, pinks, and purples. Some will be Holo goodness, shimmers, and finally a glitter that can go over anything. Part of this was customer discount and the other part was blogger pack. I was shocked when I opened my blogger and customer order. I was blown away at the ones Amy picked for me. She is such an awesome lady to work with. Amy ships fast and everything comes so professionally wrapped as you can see below. She uses recyclable material to pack her products up. I also want to mention she is 3 free too. 



All pictures of Literary Lacquers is with two to three coats of polish and base and top coat of Seche Vite.

I'm Drinking Stars

In the picture below you see a great neutral for pale to light beige skin tone. The holo in this will shock you as the light bounces off your finger. Please heed this warning if your are driving be careful because it can blind you or the others around you. 


As you can see this is a linear holo. A linear holo is best represented as a fire flame look. 


This picture is indoor with flash. 


Here we see I'm Drinking Stars outside with sun.

Jack Rose

Jack Rose is shown with different coats. If you have a dark ivory or beige skin this would be great one for you. It is a coppery linear holo color. Should you want a light neutral  this would work. Just make sure to do a light coat. I have shown below 1-4 coats on how it would look on the nail.  


I took this picture outside in the sun.

Both of the pictures are from outside while sunny. 

Strawberry Ice Cream Soma

If you are looking for a soft holo this is perfect for you. It is a light soft pink crelly holo. The name is perfect and reminds me of strawberry ice cream color. Should you work in a office setting this would be great shade I would suggest for you to wear to work.

Greastest Treasures

Greatest Treasures is such a great usual holo color. It is a pink red sheer holo. I am noticing with my skin tone it is pulling a little orange. I still love this color.

Raspberry Cordial?

Raspberry Cordial is a beautiful medium raspberry pink linear holo with also scattered holo pieces of glitter too. It reminds me of valentines days. Hint hint. It might be in my tribute to L.O.V.E next month.

If it Pleases You 
and
What Fools These Mortal Be

The purple holo is If it Pleases You. To me this shade has a red tone to the purple. I am also seeing in some light a little brown to the purple too with a linear holo. I have seen other swatches that make this look like a dark plum purple.

Golden Ring and Katrina Van Tassel

I have been privileged to do a blogger package for Daphine Polish. The maker is located in the United States. There are options for shipping Internationally. For more information please go to her site Daphine Polish to read the details on shipping. All of Daphine Polishes whether they are glitters to holos are priced $10 a piece. The are very affordable. The store has been store open since June of 2013.

I absolutely loved the colors that were sent to me in this blogger package.This is a blogger package that was sent to me inturn of my opinion of her products. I was not paid to do this review. I have always liked purples. Now golds are a hit or miss with me. I am so happy to report this gold is OOo La La. It is so pretty. I even showed it to a great close personal friend of mine and she said the same thing. It looks good with my skin which is Medium Ivory type . I will always put a collage up first then we will break down the individual pictures.


Lets take a look at the Golden Ring first. 


Golden Ring is a golden sun linear holo in my point of view. You can see this in the bottle the line that looks like a rainbow. This picture is taken Indoor with out sun and with flash. 



Daphine Polish got her inspiration of the name "5 golden rings" from "12 days of Christmas". For those of you who don't know it is an old classic to count down till Christmas. She in turned named this Golden Ring. I think this is a perfect name for this color. For those days you want to feel more cheery you put this color on and you will. This picture is taken outside with out flash and with the sun hitting it. I felt this deserves the sun. I am happy to report we did get a little sun that day to show this. 



The two above pictures are of pinky nail indoors with flash. In this picture you can tell the scattered and linear holo. Three coats will get you opaque and could be done with two. I would like to say all other nails have a top coat on them. 



I am kinda fond of the next color one it is purple and two it is close to my daughters name. It is called Katrina Van Tassel.


I am located in the Midwest and so this time of year sun is hit or miss around here. I did catch just a little peak of sun for you with Katrina Van Tassel. This purple is a scattered holo and a subtle red shift.


I took this picture inside and with a flash too. You can see more of the darker purple coming through with the red shift and more the scatter holo. I wanted to make sure you got a great picture to see the scattered holo jumping in the light. 



I always like to give you up close picture one of my nails. This happens to be my middle finger. I am so happy with how the picture turned out. You can see the scatter holo all over this nail. I did three coats to make this opaque and I used a top coat with this. 

The last pictures will show you how everything is packaged. She takes time to put her own personal touch on each package. I love that she takes so much care with how she wrapped it up. It is like my own package. I felt like a kid on Christmas morning again. 


It was my pleasure to be asked to blog about these Daphine Polishes. I loved the formula and dried fast. For me that is a big thing when you are always on the run. I wanted to let everyone know too these polishes are 3 free and cruelty free too. I enjoyed working with the maker of Daphine Polish too. The communication between her and I was very easy.
