Kelara Lacquers - I Love Lamp

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


The sixth (& final) polish from Kelara Lacquers that I have to show you also comes from their Double Rainbow Collection and is called I Love Lamp. It's a gorgeous lavender scattered holo with a beautiful blue sheen. This one is my absolute favorite from this particular collection!


The following description is from the Kelara Lacquers website:

"Introducing 'I Love Lamp' from Kelara Lacquers' 'Double Rainbow' holographic collection. We love I Love Lamp...and were not just saying that because we saw it. :) The polish is a lovely light pinkish purple in the shade and a gorgeous holographic in the sun!" 


This is 2 coats of I Love Lamp without topcoat.

Happy Hands Nail Polish - Feliz Navidad, Lady Goodman, & I Am Jack's Broken Heart

Hey y'all! Today I have three beauties from Happy Hands Nail Polish to show you. Application on these was great, but they do have a very strong smell. It reminds me of the way nail salons smell (or at least the way they used to - I haven't been to one in a while). Anyways, their beauty far out lasts their scent. I absolutely love these polishes & would highly recommend them!


First up is Feliz Navidad, a nude crelly with gold & holographic pink hexes. I'm not usually a fan of nude polishes, but there was something about this one that appealed to me. Probably because the glitters complement the base color so perfectly. If you're a fan of the "mannequin hands" look, then this is the polish for you! This was my first time wearing a nude polish (I'll try any nail polish color at least once), but in the end I'm still not a fan of nudes - so I decided to let this one go (it is currently available in my blog sale here). 

This is 3 coats of Feliz Navidad with 2 coats of topcoat.

Next up is Lady Goodman - a lavender crelly with holographic purple squares, gold hexes, & holographic pink hexes. I love this one sooo much!! Not only am I obsessed with the base color & the glitters, but the name Lady Goodman comes from one of my favorite movies - Almost Famous! 

This is 3 coats of Lady Goodman with 2 coats of topcoat.

And lastly, I Am Jack's Broken Heart is a deep red-toned purple jelly with squares of aqua, purple, & holographic fuchsia, along with tiny hexes of silver & red. I think it's safe to say that this is my ultimate favorite of the bunch!! Once again I love the color combo & the name! I will admit that Fight Club isn't one of my favorite movies, but I do love the ending when they play the song "Where Is My Mind?" by The Pixies!

This is 2 coats of I Am Jack's Broken Heart with 1 coat of topcoat.

I purchased these from the Happy Hands Etsy shop for $10 each.

Sinful Colors - Let Me Go

Let Me Go is a multichrome that flashes purple, teal, & gold. It is very sheer, so I layered it over a lavender creme. I actually took these pictures awhile back (in July I think), but I didn't post them then because that was when all the hoopla was going on with Sinful Colors stealing bloggers photos. Since that seems to have all blown over now, I can finally show you guys this stunning combination!

This is 1 coat (or possibly 2 coats) of Let Me Go over Essie Play Date (which can be seen by itself here), and 1 coat of topcoat.

I purchased this at my local Harmon for $1.99.

This polish makes me think of the title song from the movie "Never Let Me Go" (which is I highly recommend watching).

Naild'It - Hocus Bogus

I don't even know where to begin with this polish.. it is so ridiculously incredible!! It's a phenomenal glitterbomb filled with large bright blue holographic stars, large matte black hexes & circles, hexes of other various sizes & colors including fuchsia, pink, lavender, turquoise, violet, periwinkle, and itty bitty black hexes all in a clear base. Holy amazeballs - I think I'm in love! <3

This is 1 dabbled coat (plus some extra placing of stars using a toothpick) of Hocus Bogus over Zoya Areetha (which can be seen by itself at the end of this post), followed by 1 coat of Gelous, & 1 coat of Essie Good To Go.

Zoya Areetha is a lovely metallic lavender. Unfortunately like most metallics it is prone to being a bit brush-strokey, but the color is so pretty I was willing to forgive it. Here is 2 coats by itself with 1 coat of topcoat.

I purchased Naild'It Hocus Bogus from Llarowe for $11, and Zoya Areetha from Zoya.com for $8.

Revlon Nail Art FrenchMix - Moonstruck

I'm a sucker for all shades of purple, so the moment I saw this lil beauty I just had to have it. It's a double ended polish with a shimmery lavender on one side (the darker end) and a lilac crelly infused with silver glitter on the other side (the lighter end).  They compliment each other perfectly! With the name "FrenchMix" I suppose Revlon intended these to be used for French manicures, but my nails are too short for that so I opted to alternate the colors instead. On my right hand is the lavender shade with a lilac accent nail, and on my left hand is the lilac shade with a lavender accent nail.

The application of the lavender shade was flawless. However, the lilac shade was slightly more difficult because of the glitter which made it a little clumpy, but it wasn't too bad.

This is 3 coats of both colors followed by 1 coat of top coat.

I purchased this at my local Harmon for about $8 a few months back. I'm sorry to say that I'm really not sure where it would be available now. Google said it is available on eBay, so if you're interested in buying it I'd look there first.

My random song of the night is "Dazzle" by Siouxsie & The Banshees.

Essie - Play Date

This is a beautiful bright lavender creme. Just my kind of color! I have to tell you that the consistency wasn't great - it was very thin and watery, but thankfully it's perfectly opaque in two coats.

China Glaze - Prism

If you love glitter you have got to get this polish. It is chock full of it!! Absolutely gorgeous.

(Once again, I must say that the pictures that were taken without flash are much more color accurate. However, the pictures with flash show off all the sparkly goodness!)

The only downside to all this glitter is it was quite difficult to apply because of it's chunkiness. But as you can see it was well worth it in the end!
