Kelara Lacquers - Chocolate Wasted

*Product sent for review in exchange for my honest opinion (see disclosure)*

The fourth polish from Kelara Lacquers that I have to show you comes from their Double Rainbow Collection and is called Chocolate Wasted. It is a delicious looking chocolate brown scattered holo. Application was super smooth & opaque in 2 coats.

The following description is from the Kelara Lacquers website:

"Although we usually don't recommend overindulging (all the time) we won't blame you if you want to get "Chocolate Wasted" from Kelara Lacquers' "Double Rainbow" holographic collection! :) This polish is a gorgeous chocolate brown in the shade, but an amazing holographic polish in the sun." 


This is 2 coats of Chocolate Wasted without topcoat.

Kelara Lacquers - Hoodoo Man


*Product sent for review in exchange for my honest opinion (see disclosure)*

The second Kelara Lacquer I have to show you is Hoodoo Man. This one is also from their Sweet Home Chicago Collection and it's a deep purple crelly with matte hexes of red, blue, & yellow-green. Application was smooth & easy with no dabbing required. It's a really cute polish, and since it's purple, it's a definite winner in my book!

The following description is taken from the Kelara Lacquers website:

"Hoodoo Man is a tribute to the late great harmonica player, Junior Wells, and features a dark purple jelly base and neon green, pink, and blue glitter. It is part of the Sweet Home Chicago collection, which reflects the funky, electric Chicago blues style and pays tribute to some of the most famous Chicago blues artists."

Kelara Lacquers - Mojo Workin'

*Product sent for review in exchange for my honest opinion (see disclosure)*

 I've been admiring Kelara Lacquers polishes on Etsy for quite some time now, so when they announced on their Facebook page that they were looking for bloggers to review their polishes I was totally on board! Unfortunately, I never usually hear back from polish makers when I inquire into reviewing their brand - but luckily that was not the case this time! They got back to me right away & were so sweet! They ended up sending me 6 mini bottles (amazing!), so expect to see a lot of Kelara swatches this week! :D

First up is my personal favorite of the bunch, Mojo Workin', from their Sweet Home Chicago Collection. It's an absolutely stunning deep teal jelly with blue squares & hexes, green squares, & fuchsia hexes. Application was a little tricky because of all the glitter. It looked a bit lumpy at first, but that problem was very easily fixed by adding topcoat. This polish is so multi-faceted and has so much depth & dimension I found myself staring at it quite frequently!


The following description is taken from the Kelara Lacquers website:


"Mojo Workin' is a tribute to the legendary Muddy Waters, and features a blue green jelly base with glitter in various shapes and colors. It is part of the Sweet Home Chicago collection, which reflects the funky, electric Chicago blues style and pays tribute to some of the most famous Chicago blues artists."


This is 3 coats of Mojo Workin' with 1 coat of Gelous, & 1 coat of Seche Vite.

Polish Addict - A Beautiful Mess

*Product sent for review in exchange for my honest opinion (see disclosure)*

The second Polish Addict polish that I have to show you is A Beautiful Mess. It's a baby blue crelly with small hexes of fuchsia, purple, blue, gold, white, & holographic silver, along with the occasional medium sized holographic blue hex. Application was smooth & the glitters come out easy with no dabbing required. Baby blue is one of my all time favorite colors, so to me this polish is breathtakingly stunning! 

This is 3 coats of A Beautiful Mess, with 1 coat of Gelous, & 1 coat of Seche Vite.
