Hiya guys! We’re ending this week on a brilliant excessive as a result of it is Polish Decide-Up day! It additionally marks the top of a really annoying week that I used to be completely dreading attending to. However it got here and went fairly flawlessly, which is sort of humorous now on reflection as a result of I used to be so stressed for thus lengthy. It is not typically issues prove nicely and for me which means celebrating. With some polish in fact! So for immediately I am sharing the June contribution to Polish Decide-Up from Rogue Lacquer. This month the theme is Over the Rainbow and this shade takes it is inspiration from the rainbow going throughout the sky after a storm. This embodies the image that storms cross and there may be magnificence on the opposite aspect. I actually love that and it is one thing I want to recollect myself when going through some powerful occasions. However yeah with out additional ado, let’s go forward and bounce proper into the swatches!
Rogue Lacquer – After the Storm
After the Storm may be described as a purple toned grey crelly with a rainbow of metallic flakes and holo flake shards. Is not this magnificence so excellent and distinctive?! I all the time get such an additional tinge of pleasure when I’m swatching a crelly because it actually brings me again to after I first acquired began locally. This was the go-to end again within the day and for me it is going to all the time maintain a particular place in my coronary heart. That mentioned, this polish not solely brings again some reminiscences however it’s downright attractive in its personal proper. All the totally different flakes actually stand out so nicely towards the cool grey base that it simply makes you consider the rainbow inspiration. Simply nails it, no pun supposed. Grey can also be a shade that does not stand out in my assortment or that I see too typically. It is a refreshing absorb each regard and I positively suggest it make the lower into your cart this month. It is a shade that does so nicely towards any skin-tone and the enjoyable colours make it wearable anytime.
The components has a superb opacity that builds-up simply for full protection. Consistency clever it felt nicely balanced, not too thick or too skinny. That was actually a pleasant shock contemplating how jam packed stuffed with flakes the end seems. I skilled no points through the utility course of, every coat went on nice with the flakes being nicely distributed all through the coats. There was no clumping or something like that, which once more is so good in a polish so full of various flakes and glitters. The end dries right down to a really gritty/textured end that may be smoothed out for probably the most half after a a number of layers of topcoat. It may need been an simply time getting it to clean down if I used a particular topcoat made for heavy glitters, however I didn’t have on available and used my regular quick drying one as an alternative. Even after doubling up on the topcoat layer I nonetheless felt it was gritty, so on reflection I might have achieved a 3rd simply to get a greater consequence. My swatches are proven right here in two to 3 coats and a double layer of shiny topcoat.
And I lastly did not goof and remembered to snap some photographs of this magnificence with a matte topcoat. Let me simply say *chef’s kiss* it was such a wonderful resolution.
That is a wrap on one other attractive shade for Polish Decide-Up this month. I like myself a superb crelly and this one positively hits it outta the park. The one factor about this shade is how extremely textured it dries down. As I discussed earlier than I do not personal one of many specialty topcoats made for heavy glitters like this, so I needed to make due with double layering common topcoat and that did not really feel like sufficient. I did not hate the look of it being barely textured, however would have most well-liked it to have a smoother completed look. All in all it is not sufficient of a problem as it may be simply solved (both with the glitter topcoat or one other layer of my present topcoat) and I nonetheless extremely suggest this magnificence make it is manner into your cart. It is completely manner too distinctive of a glitter mixture and lovely to cross up on.
