Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Once More With Feeling (Partial Review)

Good morning beauties.  I have some lovely holos to share with you today.  A few years ago Julie from Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer released the Once More With Feeling collection - a set of holos inspired by the characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  They are all so gorgeous and have this ethereal glow to them.  Well they were so popular that Julie decided to re-release them with a few new colors too!  I have 3 of the re-released shades to share with you and you can also check out my old post featuring some of the others HERE.  The Once More With Feeling (OMWF) is available now and you can pick up full size bottles for $12 each or the entire set (which includes the freebie 5X5) for $96.  Minis of the individual bottles are also available for $6 each.  You know what time it is?  Time to look at swatches!  Yay!

Up first is Tea Is Soothing.  I Wish To Be Tense.  This polish is based on Rupert Giles.  It's described as a "blue linear holo with an ice blue flash."  This polish has that same look and feel as Dorkhead?! You Slash Me With Your Words!, a gorgeous soft holo that has an amazing lit from within glow to it. I found the formula and application both great and used 2 coats of Tea Is Soothing for full coverage.  It dried ever so slightly dull so I added a layer of topcoat to show off that glowy shine.

Next I have I'm Going Through Some...Changes.  This one is inspired by Oz, the werewolf.  It's described as a "brown linear holo with copper shimmer."  Totally a color that I would pick for a werewolf!  I loved how this one looked with my skin tone and found it a very wearable brown.  Of course anything holo is a win for me.  The formula and application were both fabulous, smooth and easy to apply.  I used 1 coat of Changes and 1 layer of topcoat to keep the finish glossy.

And finally I have The Last Time I Tortured Someone, They Didn't Even *Have* Chainsaws.  I don't remember this from the first collection so I'm guessing it's a new addition?  But don't quote me on that because I haven't seen much info on it (and haven't read any other blog posts so I could stay unbiased in my personal thoughts and opinions).  Whether a re-release or a new addition it's gorgeous and turned out to be my favorite of the 3 I was sent to review.  Chainsaws is based on Angelus, Angel without a soul and it's described as a "black linear holo with with red shimmers and midnight red flakies."  Stunning!  The red shimmer really shines through in both direct sun and shade pictures. I used 1 coat of Chainsaws for full coverage and 1 layer of topcoat for shine.

Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Spam: Holos!

Good morning!  I'm back with another Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer spam post for you to enjoy.  This one is holo-mania though!  You know I love holo and these are all really quite amazing.  They have a glow-y effect to them that makes them almost ethereal.  All of the holos are from the Once More With Feelings Collection, which was inspired by Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  All of these holos have a slightly jelly-ish base but they build up beautifully.  But instead of chatting your eyes off lets jump right in and enjoy some BEGL holos!

Love Makes You Do the Wacky was inspired by Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  This is a "dusty purple linear holo with fuchsia flash."  It's fantastic!  The base is sheer on the first coat, but it built up beautifully in 3 layers.  No topcoat used.  







We Saved The World, I say We Party! is based off the main character, Buffy.  It's a "pale pink linear holo with a strong pink flash."  Again, so much glow in addition to the beautiful linear holo really makes for a unique polish.  Formula and application were great.  I used 2-3 coats (sorry, I can't remember which) and no topcoat.







I think this might be my favorite from the post today.  Dorkhead?! You Slash Me With Your Words is based on Xander.  It's a "pale green linear holo with a strong green flash."  I love this shade of green so much.  Formula and application were both lovely.  I used 3 layers and no topcoat.  







Tact Is Just Not Saying True Stuff. I'll Pass. is inspired by Cordelia.  It's a marvelous "nude leaning taupe linear holo with green flash."  I love nude holos, so so much.  This one didn't disappoint.  The fabulous formula and application only added to my happiness with this polish!  This one was a bit more opaque than the last 3.  I used 2 layers and no topcoat.  







And up last we have the deep and sanguine like red holo based on Spike.  Out. For. A. Walk...BITCH!, such a funny name and a color fitting color for a vampire, right?  This linear holo made my heart skip a beat because I love red holo just as much as I love nude holo.   This one was also pretty opaque and I only needed 2 coats for full coverage.  Formula and application were fabulous.  No topcoat used.
