Kelara Lacquers - One Man Wolf Pack

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

The fifth polish from Kelara Lacquers that I have to show you also comes from their Double Rainbow Collection and is called One Man Wolf Pack. It's a very pretty silvery light grey scattered holo. Application was super smooth & opaque in 2 coats.

The following description is from the Kelara Lacquers website:

"Meet the 'One Man Wolf Pack' from Kelara Lacquer's 'Double Rainbow' holographic collection. This gunmetal grey polish was alone but then the sun came out and a rainbow of colors appeared and the polish thought, 'Wait a second, could it be?' And now it knows for sure, we just added a slew of colors to it's wolf pack. The polish is a shimmery gunmetal grey in the shade, but is an amazing holographic polish in the sun."


This is 2 coats of One Man Wolf Pack without topcoat.

KBShimmer - Elle

I'm seriously loving grey polishes lately.. and this is the best one yet!!! It's a gorgeous grey jelly loaded with hexes of pink, white, & holographic silver, along with squares of white & silver. An absolutely stunning combination!! In the bottle it looks pretty, but on the nail it is just.. WOW.

This is 3 coats of Elle with 2 coats of topcoat.

Tough As Nails Lacquer - It's All Over Now

It's All Over Now has hexes of white, blue, violet, lavender, & iridescent green, with white shards, all in a soft grey jelly base. Application was great with little to no manipulation required. Though it dries a bit lumpy looking, topcoat fixes that right away! I find this polish very soothing to look at. The color combos are just perfect. 

This is 1 coat of It's All Over Now over OPI I Vant To Be A-Lone Star (which can be seen by itself here), except on my ring finger which has 3 coats of IAON by itself. I have to say they look pretty identical! All fingers have 2 coats of topcoat.

Once Upon A Polish - Queen of Hearts

This is the final Alice In Wonderland themed polish that I have to show you guys. This one happens to be bitter sweet because the Esty shop I bought this from no longer exists, but it's such a cool polish that I didn't want to not share it. 

Queen of Hearts is a pretty glitterbomb that has red & black hearts, and hexes of gold, white, & black, all in a clear base. I did have to do quite a bit of fishing to get the hearts out, but I don't mind that. I then placed them where I wanted them by using a toothpick (unfortunately I wasn't as gentle as I should have been & some of the color, particularly the red, got scratched off a little bit). It wasn't so noticeable in person, but of course the camera magnifies every flaw! I'm still really happy with how it ended up looking.

This is 1 dabbed coat (with some extra fishing/placing) of Queen of Hearts over my "Not Too Shabby" franken (which can be seen by itself here), with 3 coats of topcoat.

Doesn't the Queen of Hearts' face resemble Fred Flinstone? Ha!

I purchased this from the Once Upon A Polish Etsy page. Unfortunately, that seller has since closed up shop. However, I noticed recently that Hit Polish released a Queen of Hearts polish that is somewhat similar (it's sold out at the moment but Rachel is very good with restocking), here is the link to see what it looks like: http://www.etsy.com/listing/119002071/mini-5ml-queen-of-hearts-alice-in?ref=usr_faveitems

"Not Too Shabby" Franken

This is a franken polish I made in an attempt to dupe Color Club Shabby Drab. Regardless of whether or not I succeeded,  I ended up really liking the end result - so I named it Not Too Shabby! (lol.) I used a mixture of Barry M Grey, Kleancolor Pastel Purple, an unnamed Hot Topic purple, Essie Lapiz of Luxury, & Wet n Wild French White. 

This is 2 coats of Not Too Shabby with 1 coat of topcoat.

Black Cat Lacquer - Six Feet Under

Six Feet Under is a grey jelly packed with small & medium sized silver hexes and black shards of various sizes. I wasn't so sure if I was gonna like this one, but it actually looks really cool on. It also happens to bear the name of one of my favorite TV shows of all time, so that definitely earns points in my book!

This is 3 coats of Six Feet Under topped with 1 coat of topcoat.

Makes me tear up everytime :'(

Barry M - Grey

Not too much to say about this polish. It's a dark grey creme, that appears darker on the nail than it is in the bottle. This was my first time wearing a grey polish, and it was kinda nice for a change. It's good for when you're in the mood for a dark color, but don't feel like going as dramatic as black. Application was very smooth.

This is 2 coats of Barry M Grey followed by 1 coat of top coat.

I purchased this bottle from Harlow & Co. for $7. Like them on Facebook to receive info on their restocks.


This polish just begs for some glitter, don't you think? If you agree, you're going to enjoy my next post very much! ;)
