Superficially Colorful Lacquers: The Autumn Collection

Good afternoon!  Hope your Saturday is treating you well.  I just finished up 1 soccer game for the day, 2 were canceled, and now I am strongly suggesting to my husband that we go to the pumpkin patch since we don't have pumpkins yet!  So while I attempt to convince him of that you can enjoy another upcoming collection from Superficially Colorful Lacquers.  This is The Autumn Collection and it's a set of 4 thermal (color changing) polishes with a sprinkling of matte white glitters and a touch of shimmer.  I have a few of Jin's thermals and they are all stunning, but I have to admit these are my favorites that she's ever made (I suppose I could be biased since I am a huge fan of all things Fall).  The colors are so beautiful and the thermal works perfectly.  The Autumn Collection will be available on Monday 10/27 an 12pm EST.  Now let's jump in to the pictures and enjoy some beautiful Autumn colors.

All Fall Down is a beautiful "brown to orange thermal polish with golden and green shimmer."  It's inspired by "autumn leaves turning brown slowly and falling down."  I love both of the shades here.  The brown is rich and yummy and the orange looks just like a pumpkin shade!  Formula and application were both awesome.  I used 2 coats of All Fall Down for full coverage and 1 layer of topcoat.

This is Unbe-leaf-able.  While I loved all the colors in this collection I think Unbe-leaf-able is my favorite.  It's described as  "dark black-brown that changes into pink, with red-pink shimmer."  It's gorgeous!  Again, I totally love both shades in this polish.  Unbe-leaf-able had a fabulous formula and applied like a dream.  I used 2 coats and finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

Moving right along, this is A Summer's Wave Goodbye.  You know I love red-orange and yellow so this was perfectly dreamy for me!  A Summer's Wave Goodbye is an "orange leaning red when cold, that transforms into a bright light yellow when hot."  This definitely makes me nostalgic for warmer summer days.  The formula and application were both perfect.  A Summer's Wave Goodbye applied to full coverage in 2 easy coats.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat.

Finally we've come to my second favorite of the collection, Buried Treasure.  Buried Treasure is a "dark forest green that turns into medium-light green, with green and blue shimmer."  Hullo gorgeous. I especially love the darker green shade here.  It'll be perfect to transition into winter months.  Formula and application were both wonderful.  I used 2 coats of Buried Treasure for full coverage 1 layer of topcoat.

I just thought I'd throw these in the end of the post.  Naomi and I both eneded up wearing Unbe-leaf-able once I finished swatching.  I actualy painted her nails while she was asleep so when she woke up she was so happy to see a pretty pink polish on her nails.  When I showed her that in cold water the polish changed color she was totally amazed and had to show her preschool teachers as soon as we got her to class that morning.  

Lumina Lacquer Halloween; For Whom the Spell Tolls & Little Box of Horrors (partial collection review)

Good afternoon dears!  It's raining here which is great, but I am in limbo all morning waiting to find out which of my kids soccer games are scheduled and which are canceled.  Sigh.  In the meantime I have some brand new Lumina Lacquers for you to take a gander at!  I'm so happy Tatiana had a chance to create a Halloween collection becuase I sure missed her glitterific creations!  The 5 piece collection is full of glitter (surprise!), a micro glitter and a brown/black with holo shimmer!  They are all gorgeous and I have 2 to share with you today.  The entire Halloween line currently available and range from $9-$10 each.   *press sample* Lumina Lacquer: Shop, Mei Mei's Signatures, Facebook, Instagram For Whom The Spell Tolls is a "lime gold blinding holo glitter polish."  It's gorgeous and a unique micro glitter polish in my stash.  I totally love it, this lime green is such a fun Halloween color.  The formula and application were both awesome.  So much glitter came out with each brush dip and the glitters spread perfectly and evenly.  You can reach full coverage alone in 2-3 coats.  I used 3 coats of For Whom The Spell Tolls to ensure there were no bald spots in my pictures.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat for a smooth to the touch finish.

Little Box of Horrors is a "satin glitter polish that is completely made up of squares in various colors in pastels, neons and black."  How adorable is this polish?  I love that it's 100% tiny squares.  Little Box of Horrors had a fantastic formula and applied so easily.  The glitter payoff was stellar.  I used 1 coat of Little Box of Horrors over 2 coats of Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth.  A little baggie of matte skull and crossbones was included and I applied one in a different color to each nail for a little extra decoration.  I finished with 1 layer of topcoat for a glossy finish.  

*Disclaimer for Little Box of Horrors: A slight tint may develop after time due to the nature of using neon glitters.
