Aurora Lacquers Anniversary Celebration Set

Hello and Welcome!!

Today I have a fabulous collection made by Aurora Lacquers.The collection is called,Anniversary Celebration Set. This set was made to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. Happy Anniversary Aurora Lacquers!!!!!
In this collection there is 3 very opaque creams and a very sparkly and fun glitter topper.The Anniversary Celebration Set will be launching Friday,February 13th at 4pm EST. Oh and guess what?The creams are perfect for stamping!!That's right,get excited!!!! 
Note:When using the creams for stamping,try moving quickly because the polish does dry fast.
Let's take a look below.


Noir Night


Description:
Noir Night is best described as a jet black cream polish.
Application:
I applied 1 coat of Noir Night on all fingers but my middle finger.On my middle finger I applied 1 coat of Blizzard White and stamped over it using Noir Night and an image from my UberChicbeauty plate 1-02. I topped my nails off with a quick drying top coat.
My Opinion:
I love the fact that this black is a one coater and stamps so perfectly.This polish has a semi-gloss finish.I am going to be using this polish for everything now.It's my new favorite black polish.I think it's the only one I have that can be used for both stamping and painting nails.

Blizzard White


Description:
Blizzard White can be best described as a bright white cream polish.
Application:
I applied 1 coat of Blizzard White on all of my fingers but my middle finger.On my middle finger I applied 1 coat of Noir Night.Then I stamped over it using Blizzard White and used an image from my UberChicbeauty stamping plate 1-02. I topped the mani off with a quick drying top coat.
My Opinion:
How awesome does Blizzard White look stamped over that black?I can't believe how it stamped so opaque.I was expecting the white to be somewhat faded.Most white stamping polishes I have don't stamp to well over dark shades and appear a little on the sheer side.Not this one.I love it!

Shadow


Description:
Shadow can be best described as a light grey creamy polish.
Application:
I applied 1 coat of Shadow on all fingers but the middle finger.On the middle finger I applied 1 coat of Blizzard White and stamped over it with Shadow.I used an image from my UberChicbeauty plate 1-01 and topped off this mani with a quick drying top coat.
My Opinion:
This is the perfect shade of grey.It applied nicely with no issues.

Celebrate!


Description:
Celebrate is a clear base glitter topper with tons of sparkle with a touch of colorful hex and square glitters.
Application:
I applied 1 coat of Celebrate over 1 coat of Noir Night followed by a quick drying top coat.
My Opinion:
This glitter topper is really pretty. It applied perfectly with no issues.I really like how it has a touch of the larger glitters.It's a beautiful and unique topper.

Mentality Polish Review

Welcome all my fellow lacqueristas !!!
Today's blog is featuring a company called Mentality.
Mentality is husband and wife team, working to bring quality nail polishes at affordable prices. Mentality offers a variety of pigmented, holographic, and glitter nail polishes that  to my experience are Gorgeous and worth every penny .
I have a Matte polish and a stamping polish to show you. Are you ready to be awed ? Well get ready!!! Get Set!!! Go!!!!!
As you can see above we have Tough and Menny
Beautiful formula. Now for some swatches
This is Meeny
It is a stamping polish but can be used as a great stand alone polish. This is a bright green holo color with a gold flash.
This polish does come with a flat brush.
This polish cost $7.00
I used Meeny over Mentality/Tough
I did not use a top coat.
They both look very pretty together. I love it!
I used 2 designs on the Cheeky stamping plate D
It is such a stunning color. I had no issues with this formula. It was so easy to use.
Im in love with it.
I think I found a new obsession!!
This is Meeny on its own. I used 2 coats with HK Girl Top Coat

This is called Tough
It is a Royal Blue Matte polish. It looks to have some shimmer when wet but when it dries its a solid color. It also has a flat brush.
It cost $6.50
This is a 2 coater and it is so beautiful.
I love how all the polish has flat brushes. It makes is so much easier to do a mani.
I love matte polish and this is defiantly one of my favorite by far.

Overall I had nothing but great experiences using Mentality polish. The formula is perfect. I defiantly recommend you trying these out. They are priced perfectly. They are not to expensive at all.
Below I will post the links to direct you to Mentality .
