Loaded Lacquer Nude Trio

Press Sample

Today I have some loaded lacquer goodness to share with you!   Loaded Lacquer will soon be releasing a trio of nude polishes.   These are made from her Jiggle formula so that means... jelly sandwiches!  Let's talk about a few things that apply to all three polishes.  They have a fantastic formula!  They go in so smooth.   It's amazing how Heather has perfected the jelly formula. All swatches shown are three thin coats with top coat.  For the jelly sammies it is one additional thin coat over the glitters.  

First up is No Shirt which is a slightly yellow toned beige? nude.  I wasnt sure how this one would look on my skin tone but I actually really like it!

Next up we have No Shoes which I really Love!!  It is a perfect grey toned nude!

Last but certainly not least is No Bra.  I absolutely love the names of these.  No Bra is a beautiful soft pink nude polish.

I had so much fun swatching this collection and trying different combos.   I think the combinations are endless with this set.  Sleek  and classy or add some glitter for gorgeous sandwiches!  I have never been disappointed  with a Loaded Lacquer polish and this trio follows suit with the Loaded Lacquer quality that we all have come to know and love!  You can find Heathers beautiful polishes at LoadedLacquer.com

Loaded Lacquer Mintallica

Press Sample

Happy Thursday friends!  Today I have another Loaded Lacquer polish to show you.  It is no secret that I adore Loaded Lacquer and Heather.  I have bought nearly all of her polishes and I am NEVER disappointed by them.  Heather kindly sent me Mintallica for swatching.  It goes on very easy, the formula is just perfect!

The description of Mintallica is  Multi sized matte mint hexagons and dots, metallic gunmetal hexagons, holographic gunmetal hexagons.  My pictures below are taken outdoors but we had not a peep of sunshine so the holographic does not show up but trust me it is in there and it is gorgeous!!  There are other photos at LoadedLacquer.com that show all of the holographic goodness. I used NYC Siderwalkers as my base (a light grey)

Two coats of Mintallica over Sidewalkers.

I personally love metallic glitter and as you can see Mintallica delivers that perfectly along with Minty fun!  

This last picture does show a tad of the holographic glitter.  It was part of a failed mani due to the base I used.  Gone grey from Sally Hansen Insta dri.  I love this line but this particular grey metallic base was very streaky and was awful on the other nails.  This is three coats of Mintallica over that and you can see a tad of the awful Gone grey peeping through in places.

Another brilliant creation from Loaded Lacquer!  If you are like me and love glitters and unique creations I urge you to check out Loaded Lacquer!  Though this is a press sample I do spend my own money on Loaded Lacquer polishes and they are high quality!  Thanks for coming by and Happy polishing!!  xoxo Jiame

Mani Monday Snowman

Happy Mani Monday friends!  This week the theme is snowman.  I love snow people.  They  take over my house once the decorations go up for Christmas and some get to hang out all winter!!  

Here are my nontraditional snowman lady nails!  I have a fuzzy sweater that is a soft purple and it may be silly but if I can I like to match my manis if I can, so I decided to try some soft girly snowman nails. 

I used Sally Hansen Hard as nails in No Hard Feelings for the purple nail and polka dots.  The light blue base is Sally Hansen x-treme wear in Breezy Blue.  The glitter is Loaded Lacquers North of the Arctic Circle.  The snowman is White On  from Sally Hansen 

x-treme wear.  Be sure to check out the other Mani Monday girls and their snowmen nails on facebook! Thank you for stopping by and Happy polishing!  

Christmas challange Snow

Better late than never!  I got these done on time and up on Instagram but neglected to put up a blog post.  I love snow!  In general I like cool crisp weather and add a beautiful blanket of glistening frosty snow and I'm thrilled!  I know it can be a pain but for me the beauty and crisp clean scenery outweighs that. 

This is Loaded Lacquer 40 below over Funky Fingers Galactic Blue and Ruby wing Moonstone.  I added loose glitter snow flakes and a matte topcoat.  Thanks for stopping by and Happy polishing!!

Loaded Lacquer Rubbernecker and Captain Obvious

Hello friends I am behind on blogging again!  Surprised...I didn't think so...hehehehe.  First I should say I am not affiliated with Loaded Lacquer other than I swatched four polishes for her.  These are my honest opinions on these polishes and Heather.  I wanted to posts two Loaded Lacquer Manicures I have done since my order came in on Monday.  Monday!!  I ordered on Friday!  Heather is so committed to customer service.  It is nice to order from someone who not only has a quality product but takes pride in how she treats customers and people in general!  Big thumbs up Heather if you ever were reading! 

Captain Obvious is a beautiful polish.  I thought it was lovely on the website and from swatches but oh my gosh...in person it is so shiny and the combination of colors is perfect!! There is purple, rose, blue and teal in there.  The teal is holographic I believe!   I applied one good coat over a dark blue from Pure Ice called All Night Long.

Light box

Very easy application and I think this polish could even be built up to wear alone.  I really enjoy it over a dark base personally.   

Next we have Rubbernecker which I have wanted since I saw Heathers posts about it on her IG.  It is a very cool polish.  The base is black but the combo of the rose and purple duo chrome glitters really make this polish something to see!  

Light box

This is Rubbernecker on its own in three easy to build coats.  I thought surely this may be a goopy one but not at all.  Heather really does glitter polishes right!  I have 5 more Loaded Lacquer polishes I look forward to bringing you over the next few weeks.  There are 10 more I hope to purchase in the near future, with the Holidays coming its time to slow down buying polish for a bit because I have been buying a lot!  You can check out Loaded Lacquer  here. Thanks for stopping by and Happy polishing!!! xoxo Jaime

Loaded Lacquer Review

If you have not heard Loaded Lacquer is a new Indie brand started by the lovely Heather.  I have been following Heather on Instagram and Facebook for at least a month and have seen all the posts of previews and short videos of her polishes and I fell in love with what I was seeing right away.  I have been looking for the perfect Indie brand for me for quite awhile and her gorgeous glitter polishes were exactly what I wanted!!  Heather very kindly asked me if I would like to swatch a polish for her.  I was so excited and honored to be one of the first girls to wear a Loaded Lacquer polish!!  She sent me four polishes to swatch.  These are my honest opinions on those polishes.

Loaded Lacquer polishes are 3 free and made in the US by Heather. Lets talk about the fantastic that are Loaded Lacquer labels!!  Very fun and shiny!  They are so appropriate for her line.

The first polish I want to show you is from her Christmas collection.  It is called Christmas bonus.  It is full of green, a yellowy gold and red glitters.  The red glitters also seem to give off a fuchsia flash.  The formula was perfect and it was so easy to work with!

Christmas Bonus

This swatch is three coats alone.  

Christmas Bonus Mani

  I used 3 coats alone on my ring finger and also on middle finger I used 1 coat over Red eye from sinful colors.  Christmas bonus was a dream and very festive and shiny!

Next up we have Moonshine in a jar!  This is the ultimate gold and copper glitter bomb in my opinion.  It is just chalk full of Gold and copper glitter!

This photo was awful but the polish is amazing!

I adore this polish.  The formula again was very nice!  I could not believe how easy it was to build up.  For the above mani the pointer finger is 3 coats alone and each of the other fingers are one coat over a black and a gold both from Sinful Colors.  It is so so so beautiful and my pictures do not do it justice.  It is like shiny jewelry on your finger tips!

Next we have Fluffy Macaroon.  This polish is so pretty.  It is packed with blue purple white yellow and also iridescent glitter in a clear base.

 This is a very delicate looking glitter topper.  The name is perfect.  Fluffy Macaroon is very sweet and pretty!  The formula was so good.  No fishing for the bigger pieces!  For the above Mani above I used one coat over each nail and just did a little accent nail with waves and a fimo heart!

The last polish I have for you today is Steampunked.  I can not even begin to describe everything that is in this little bottle of awesome!  It is a heavily packed metal glitter polish in a clear base.  Just take a look at all the different metallic glitters in here. There are also black glitters.

This swatch is three dabbed coats over a dark gray base

Steampunked

Not a great picture.  The metallic shine was again overwhelming for my current set up. This is two and then three dabbed coats over black and dark gray.

Steampunked Mani

The pink mani is one coat over Revlon's Ginger Melon.  I also fished out three of the silver glitters to use on the polka dot nail.  Steampunked is very edgy in my opinion and can be used in many different ways to add some sauciness to your manicures.  The formula on this is tricky only because it is so loaded with all that glitter goodness but it is still a good formula if that makes sense! It is very easy to manipulate the polish once you dab it on your nail.  I love it and an very happy to have it!!

Overall Loaded Lacquer gets a big thumbs up from me.  The polishes are amazing and Heather is such a sweet person and has fantastic people skills.  She knows her stuff when it comes to glitter polishes.  There are several other polishes in her line!  Her website launches at 9 am central time TODAY!!!  I will be ordering some more from her this morning and I do recommend Loaded Lacquer if you are a glitter lover like me!!!!!!  You can find Loaded Lacquer on Instagram, Facebook and at loadedlacquer.com once the site launches this morning.  Happy polishing!!  xoxo Jaime
