Too Fancy Lacquer: Swatch & Review

Hi all!  This morning I've got a long-overdue post featuring four polishes from a new-to-me indie brand, Too Fancy Lacquer!  

Continue reading after the jump! 

Lush Lavender is a delicate muted lavender shade with a subtle holographic finish.  Two coats, no top coat.

Sweet & Sour is a bright orange-toned red jelly with a holographic finish which is subtle, but a bit more prominent than that in Lush Lavender.  Four thin coats, no top coat.

Fallen Too Deep is a burnt pumpkin-orange base with a golden shimmer throughout, and features the strongest holographic finish of the three.  Three thin coats, no top coat.

Last is the only non-holo of the bunch: Snowfall is a white crelly with pastel purple, green and white glitters.  Formula was a bit tricky, typical of a white crelly with glitter, but a bit of patience between coats helped immensely.  Three thin coats, topped with one coat of Essence Gel Look top coat.

Apologies for the inconsistency in my nail length, but I had swatched Snowfall and then had to wait ages to actually be home during daylight hours (my new apartment only gets direct sunlight until about 5pm, when I'm often still at dance!) before I got a chance to swatch the three holos.  But I am glad that I was eventually able to get some sunlight shots of them, because the holographic finish really comes to life in direct sun!

All of the holos dried extremely quickly, which I was very happy about!  Snowfall took a bit longer which was to be expected, but still relatively quick.  Just as a side note, these do have a strong smell similar to the old formula from I Love Nail Polish, so if you're super sensitive to smells you may want to take that into account.  Aside from that, I was very impressed with these polishes!  Lush Lavender is my favourite of the bunch!  

You can become a fan of Too Fancy Lacquer on Facebook, and purchase these and other polishes through Etsy.  Which one is your favourite? :)
