Cadillacquer Halloween 2016 Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! For today, I have polishes from Cadillacquer. This five polish set is her Halloween 2016 Collection, available now from Color4Nails' shop!

Cadillacquer Bones

Three coats

Dark taupe with white, black and orange glitter plus silver/blue sheen

I love the contrast of white against the dark, almost gray, taupe color. The black and orange glitter pieces are tiny so they are not immediately visible but they add some extra detailing. This went on easily but I need three coats for opaque coverage.

Cadillacquer Devil

Two coats

Black jelly with orange and green glitter and scattered holographic pigment

I love this! It reminds me a bit of the It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, where Charlie Brown is waiting in the pumpkin patch at night. Slightly more opaque coverage here, I have this shown with two coats.

Cadillacquer Ghost

Two coats

Pale blue tinted white base with holo and blue flake glitter

Simple but striking, with that pale pale blue/white base and the darker navy glitter. I was expecting to need minimum three coats but was happy to see that it got opaque in two.

Cadillacquer Pumpkin

Two coats

Pumpkin orange holographic

Not a straight orange here, I see flashes of pink in the base, which make it look like a candied pumpkin shade to me, not the dusky orange you see from a regular pumpkin. That's just color semantics though, the color is gorgeous and it applies flawlessly.

Cadillacquer Zombie

Three coats

Green shimmer with holog and micro holo glitter

The name immediately had me singing in my head the Cranberries' Zombie. Well, if this is a zombie green, sign me up for the zombie life. It's shimmery and full of holo sparkle. Formula is very nice, as were all the polishes in this collection, and I used three coats for full opacity.

Color4Nails Pun with Pokémon Collaboration Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! For today I have a new collaboration collection from Color4Nails that will be releasing soon. For this six polish set, Color4Nails teamed up with six brands who each created a polish inspired by a Pokémon character, the six makers include Cadillacquer, Celestial Cosmetics, Delush Polish, Different Dimension, Ever After Polish, and Nine Zero Lacquer.

I think the brands did a great job with the collection, you can totally see where the inspiration plays into the colors and the pun-tastic names are the cherry on top. Look for this set to be released Friday, October 7th in Color4Nails' shop. The polishes will be available as a set as well as individually, but I know for those Pokémon fans, gotta catch 'em all!

Cadillacquer Wishing Upon a Staryu

Three coats
Red jelly base with gold flakes and glitter
So bright and saturated, yum. Goes on well, not too thick or thin in formula though because of it's jelly base, I needed three coats for opacity.

Celestial Cosmetics Judge, Jury, and Exeggcute-tioner

Two coats

Dusky light rose pink with silver shimmer and holographic pigment

A nicely done, lighter toned pink holo. It's a shimmer/pigment heavy polish, so slightly on the thicker side but application was easy with two thin coats. The holo effect is more a scattered density variety.

Delush Polish Bad to the Cubone

Three coats

Black base with gold shimmer and off white and golden glitter

I love how this takes on an olive, or antiqued gold, look with the addition of that heavy gold shimmer. There are some circle glitter pieces that didn't end up on the nail though I do see them in the bottle, my recommendation is to let the bottle sit upside down for a few minutes before applying so you can get those on the nail. Otherwise, application was good, I used three thinner coats for opaque coverage.

Different Dimension Don't Be Tentacruel

Two coats
Medium sky blue linear holographic
Application for this was so so easy, two coats with no clean up needed. Different Dimension is a brand that I can rely on to have a good consistent application for her holo polishes and this was no different. The color is very pretty and the holo is a medium density one.

Ever After Polish Pikachu, I See You

Three coats

Dusky buttercup yellow linear holographic with pink/orange shimmer

With a Pokeman inspired set, there had to be a yellow! And this is a verry nice one. I love the added shimmer, it brightens up the dusky yellow shade. It's on the sheer side, this is three thin coats and I still had a bit of visible nail line. When I re-wear this again, I will likely add a ridge builder base coat.

Nine Zero Happily Eevee After

Two coats

Copper linear holographic

Ohhhh yes. I love metallic looking holographic polishes and this is gorgeous! Nicely opaque with two coats and as I would expect of a metallic polish, there are some visible brushstrokes but they are not super obvious.

Cadillacquer LakoDom plus Color4Nails Exclusives: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! I have polishes from Cadillacquer today, courtsey of Color4Nails. The first seven polishes are part of the LakoDom Collection and the final two are exclusives to Color4Nails' shop.

I am going to make this a short and sweet (but somewhat photo heavy post) so I am including my formula notes at the top. I have purchase Cadillacquer here and there over the years but sometimes the colors can be hit of miss for me. This collection though, wow, it's truly a stunning and beautiful set. The shades are varied in colors, ranging from a pale white to a dark eggplant brown, to a rich red. Yet they are look very cohesive together. The opacity varied as well, a few were a bit more opaque and the others needed a third coat for coverage. But as a whole, they all applied wonderfully. As for which were my favorites, I think the two Color4Nails exclusives were the ones I liked the most. Something about the beige and the turquoise paired together that makes me go YES PLEASE.

The LakoDom Collection, as well as the exclusives, are available now in Color4Nails' shop, who does ship worldwide.

Two coats
Dusky blue jelly with small blue glitter and a delicate violet shimmer
