Philly Loves Lacquer:VIX Emporium Swatches and Review Part 2

Hello and Welcome!!

I am back with 6 more VIX Emporium exclusives made by Philly Loves Lacquer.These shades will only be available in VIX Emporium's shop.There is a total of 18 shades in this collection and 3 new shades will be coming soon.Yesterday I reviewed 6 shades,if you missed Part 1 you can read it here. Lets go ahead and take a look at these beauties below.

Kingsessing Crimson

Description:

Kingsessing Crimson is described as a classic cool red with subtle color shifting holo flecks.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

This is a beautiful shade of red with amazing formula.I did not have any issues with it.This shade would be perfect to wear during Valentines Day.I absolutely love it.

Inspiration:

The Kingsessing neighborhood is just south of Spruce Hill and Cedar Park. Its name comes from the Delaware Indian word for "place where there is a meadow". There is still a naturally-growing meadow at Bartram's Garden nearby, the pre-revolutionary home of botanist John Bartram.

The Gold Standard

Description:

The Gold Standard is described as a sparkly metallic gold with tiny gold and color shifting glitters.

Application:

I applied 2 easy coats followed by a quick drying top coat.

My Opinion:

This applied nicely with no issues. It is sheer,but if you would like a more opaque finish you can apply a third coat.Personally I like the sheer finish.

Inspiration:

The Gold Standard is a lovely little cafe, restaurant and brunch spot at 48th & Baltimore. Its owners have been in business at various West Philly locations since the original Gold Standard on Chester Avenue in the 1970s. They now have a second location at 20th & Fitzwater in South Philly.

Mariposa Rosa

Description:

Mariposa Rosa is described as a soft pink crelly with a gold flash and gold microglitter shimmer.

Application:

I applied 2 light coats followed by a quick dry topcoat.

My Opinion:

It's a very pretty shade of pink.This is also a perfect shade to wear during Valentines Day.No issues to report.I don't see this shade in her shop at the moment. 

Cedar Park Jazz

Description:

Cedar Park Jazz is described as a clear base dotted with multicolor round and hex glitter, great alone or layered over another color.

Application:

I applied 2 coats of Cedar Park Jazz over 2 coats of Mariposa Rosa,followed by a quick dry top coat.

My Opinion:

I am so in love with this glitter polish.This polish does not apply clumpy. All of the glitters lay really flat.I think it looks perfect over Mariposa Rosa.No issues to report.

Inspiration:

Cedar Park, a small but friendly space at 50th & Baltimore (right across from VIX) traditionally hosts free Friday night jazz concerts in the summertime. There's also a lovely little garden and a children's playground, a perfect breath of fresh air in the middle of the city.

Baltimore Avenue Burgundy 

Description:

Baltimore Avenue Burgundy is described as a burgundy crelly filled with red and violet micro shimmer and a subtle holo.

Application:

I applied 2 easy coats followed by a quick drying top coat.

My Opinion:

This shade is absolutely stunning!!! I would wear this shade every single day if I could.The formula is perfection.I didn't have a single issue with it.I also do not see this shade in her shop right now.

Satellite Silver

Description:

Satellite Silver is described as a super metallic glittery silver with some subtle color shifting flecks.

Application:

I applied 2 easy coats followed by a quick drying top coat.

My Opinion:

This is a flashy polish.I wanted to do some nail art over it. I wish I would have.It applied with no issues.

Inspiration:

The Satellite Cafe, in the Firehouse at 50th & Baltimore, is known for sweet vegan treats, black bean wraps, Bike Shop bagels, and blended drinks like the Kale Smoothie, the Nudge, and the Kick In The Pants. Visit for a cup of the best coffee around.
