Lacquistry: A Friggin Circus

I started out with just Black on my nails...

Then I added some excitement with Lacquistry's: A Friggin Circus

Indoor: Direct Lighting (Softens It)

The polish is multi colored glitter in a PINK base.... which if you see them up close, make my black look brown!

Again the formula was thick (so polish thinner is a good thing).  When I do this look again, I will probably place the glitter individually- more time consuming but Hey!  

Overall, it's really pretty & definitely reminds me of Circus Lights!

Purchase Info:
I bought this one from Jena's Etsy shop... Lacquistry (linked above)
However, I think she is taking on custom orders only right now... please see her facebook for more information.

Top of the Morning to Ya!!!

May your blessings out number The Shamrocks that grow, And may trouble avoid you Wherever you go!

I have a lovely custom polish by Jenna of Lacquistry Nail Polish!

It's called "Donald Trump's Iguana" & it's so awesome for St. Patty's Day!!!  TY Jenna for getting it to me in time and for your hard work :)

It is SOOO Gorgeous!!!  I wish it were sunny today to take pics outdoors!!!

This is my first Lacquistry Polish... The formula is a bit thick, as I guess all her polishes tend to be- you can safely use a thinner if you want... on her FB page she has a post about "How To Apply Glitter Polish" which I found very helpful.  I had to scroll down her page to find it again so I'm going to post it here for everyone:

Requested re-post of application method:

Tips on applying "chunky" glitter polishes (such as mine!):
-As with any nail polish application, make sure that the nail is free of lotions and oils. Swipe with either polish remover or rubbing alcohol to remove any lubricants before your base coat...
- Apply your preferred base coat, and if you like a coat or 2 of color.
- If you are not using a base color, apply one coat of (my!) glitter polish, not worrying about getting the larger glitter pieces onto the nail just yet. Let dry for 30 seconds or so.
- When you apply your second coat, load the brush with a large bead of polish on one side. SEE NEXT STEP! AYE AYE!!
- Interestingly enough, if you WIPE all the polish off BOTH SIDES of the brush and then dunk it in QUICKLY, you will get more of the larger glitter pieces on the brush. Wipe one side. Working with the side with the polish bead...
- Instead of swiping base to tip as you normally would- PRESS the brush FLAT onto the nail horizontally, pressing the larger glitter INTO the first coat. -
- I repeat- the larger glitters will now catch over the first coat (seriously!).
- Let second coat set for 30 seconds or so- my polishes set pretty quickly.
- After PRESSING last coat of glitter polish onto nail, reload polish brush as you normally would (dipping and swiping one side)- swipe a final smoothing coat over nail.
-Finish with a nice thick clear polish such as GELOUS ADVANCED NAIL GEL COAT- which can be found at any SALLY'S BEAUTY SUPPLY (loves to my FAVE manager ALISSA BAIN!!) to provide a smoothing agent for the glitter.
- Finish with one of a quick-dry top coat, such as Seche Vite, Poshe, Out The Door, or In A Minute (all sold at Sally's).

 

And since my camera isn't the greatest close up: Here is a pic off her Etsy website of the bottle!

I will try to get pics outside tomorrow... they should show the chunky gold glitters better!

That's all for now, until next time....
