Literary Lacquers - Gift of the Magi Collection Part 1 of 2

Now that Black Friday and all the madness that accompanies it is OVER, how about a brand new Holiday Collection from Literary Lacquers? They make their debut Monday, November 26th at noon MST and I do not think you will be disappointed!

Literary Lacquers Gift of the Magi Collection




And I received mine in the greatest packaging and with a copy of The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry.




Since there are EIGHT polish in this collection, we're going to split them in to two posts. You know me - I have a LOT of photos anyway and that would just be too many.

These are the ones I'll be showing you now:





But FIRST - her packaging materials! All shipping materials are 100% recycled and the GreenWrap is completely recyclable and compostable!






Okay, let's have a look!


Grey Cat/Grey Fence - This is a grey crelly base with various black, white and iridescent glitter pieces. I used three thin coats and had no issues at all. The formula was great and more to the thin than thick side, which made application and the three coats easy. No digging for glitters or dabbing them on at all. Three coats and one coat of Poshe.

They Are Wisest - This one is a great shimmery orange. I used three thin coats with no "underwear" for this one. Again, great formula, no issues. I think most people would find 2 coats sufficient, but I have a strange aversion to visible nail line and very stained nails. LOL!

$1.87 - This one is a glitter polish in a clear base. I've layered it over They Are Wisest and the last few photos show it layered over a plain white creme on my accent nail to show off the glitter pieces. Application was good. I used two coats and had to do a bit of dabbing but nothing bothersome. One coat of Poshe.

Greatest Treasures - This one is a red-coral linear holo and it is STUNNING. I used 3 easy, thin coats with no top coat. Perfect formula. This one is also great for layering. I've included a few photos at the end with it layered over a plain red creme on the accent nail.

So...what do you think? Which is your favorite? Of course you KNOW I'm picking Greatest Treasures as my favorite so far. I'm a sucker for a gorgeous linear holo.

The collection launches on Monday, November 26 at noon MST. She is also having a big sale to go with the launch- the "777 Sale." All polishes (full size) will be $7 for 7 days and if you purchase 7 bottles the shipping is free. Minis are coming soon, probably mid-December.
