As promised, here is the second half of the Lacquer Lust Birthstone Holo collection! You can see the first half of the collection in
yesterday's post.
Read on after the jump for a full review and tons of photos!
As with the polishes in yesterday's post
, formula on all of these was perfect, zero issues to report! I've used two coats for each (with the exception of Opal, which will be explained below), although a couple could be fine in just one careful coat. Swatches are without top coat, although I have worn some of them with top coat (LaCC 2013) and am happy to report that it doesn't dull the holo effect! I have included photos in both direct sunlight and artificial light for each polish.
August: Peridot is a light chartreuse green linear holo. It's very pretty but doesn't really work with my skin tone, so I gave it to my sister since peridot is her birthstone!

October: Opal and Pink Tourmaline
Opal is a unique topper: a loose holographic finish packed with multicoloured pastel flakies! It seems that everyone has been swatching this over black, so I switched it up a bit and layered one coat over OPI Casino Royale. Beautiful, but a pain in the butt to photograph!! No top coat here, but you'd definitely need a layer of thick top coat to smooth out the flakies.

November (me!): Topaz is a burnt orange linear holo, very fall-appropriate! Although this is my birthstone and I really love the polish on it's own, oranges really don't like to work on my skin tone unfortunately!

December: Zircon and
Tanzanite
Zircon is a turquoise holo with some extra blue shimmer packed in. It's a tad bit darker and more green-toned than
Aquamarine from yesterday's post, but I can't decide which one I prefer!

Tanzanite is a rich blue-toned purple holo with pink and purple flashes. Somewhat similar to
Amethyst from
yesterday's post, but definitely more blue-toned.

These and other Lacquer Lust polishes are available through the Lacquer Lust shop, and you can also find the brand on Facebook and Instagram (@lacquer_lust) to keep up to date.
My favourites from this bunch are definitely Sapphire, Zircon, and Tanzanite. If you still haven't seen my review of the first seven polishes in this collection, click here! Overall, I'd say that my favourites are Amethyst, Pearl, Sapphire, and Tanzanite, but I really love them all!!
