Lollipop Posse Lacquer Terrible Twos Anniversary Trio: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey everyone! I have three new polishes from Lollipop Posse Lacquer today. These three polishes are part of the Terrible Twos Anniversary Trio, created to celebrate Lollipop Posse's 2nd year anniversary (YAY!).

The inspiration comes from one of Karen's favorite literary characters: Delirium, from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" graphic novels. Delirium is the youngest of the seven Endless, beings who are neither gods nor mortals, but have existed since the dawn of time. Delirium is abstract, lost, naive, and wise, and embodies a chaotic state of being that we've all experienced at one time or another.

The colors are varied and absolutely stunning. I had no issues to report with application or formula. And on a personal note, I have loved seeing the progression of Karen's brand and am excited to see what the future brings!

The Terrible Twos Anniversary Trio is available now in Lollipop Posse Lacquer's shop!

Anonamaker Collaboration Project Box 4: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hello! For today I have the newest Anonamaker Collaboration Project Box to share. What is the Anonamker Project? It's a collab box featuring multiple brands, with polishes inspired by the craziness that can come from the Acetone Alley Facebook group, with a key feature being a anonymous topic submission.

This round we have polishes from Pretty Jelly, Contrary Polish, Cameo Colours Lacquers, Lollipop Posse Lacquer, and Ellagee Polish plus a 6 ml rollerball cuticle oil from Cuter Cuticles.

and a super salty little goodie bag including an Acetone Alley membership card AND a snarky popcorn magnet. In keeping tradition from previous boxes, I am not revealing which polish belongs to which brand but you may be able to guess from the bottles. Future editions will feature a different mix of brands.

Pre-order is available from May 3rd-13th in the Anonamker section of Ellagee's shop. The first 25 boxes will be ready for shipping on or before May 5. All box orders after the first 25 and all individual item orders will begin shipping on or before May 30.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Kiki Vol. 2 Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! I have an exciting new collection from Lollipop Posse Lacquer to share today. These four are part of the Kiki Vol. 2 Collection, a continuation of her Christmas Kiki Holiday 2016 Collection, which was inspired by the Scissor Sister's song, "Let's Have a Kiki".

Formula Notes:
All four in this set are matte shimmer polishes. They have a crelly/jelly type of formula and will dry down to a satin matte finish, if you prefer a more matte finish, I would apply topcoat and then a layer of matte topcoat (this is also good if you want to lessen your dry time). The polishes apply well, with nice consistency and the actual dry down time is not too long, maybe 4-5 minutes, though dry to touch would take a little longer. I love how vibrant the colors are, totally tying into the pop and joy-filled spirit of the song and video. Usually I have a favorite but this time I am going to recommend the whole set, they are too pretty to miss out on!

The Kiki Vol 2 Collection will be released Friday April 14th at 8 pm EST in Lollipop Posse Lacquer's shop.

Each polish will retail for $9.50 and you can purchase the four polish set for $34 (US shipping included) as well as this set plus the Christmas Kiki set (8 polishes total) for $66 (US shipping included).

Introducing Polish Pickup - April 2017: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey all! I have a few new polishes today from various brands, all created for a brand new shop. The Polish Pickup is a new monthly shop that you to submit theme ideas, vote on your favorite theme and then selectively purchase polishes from an awesome roster of brands. There will be multiple makers involved in the creation process, all following the monthly voted theme and the beauty of this set up is that you can purchase what you want, you don't have to buy an entire themed box just for the one/two/three polishes you really wanted. Intrigued? I hope so!

I am just touching the surface of the shop's concept, to learn more, you can visit the shop's FAQ and About pages and I definitely recommend joining the Polish Pickup Facebook Group to join in on the fun.

April's theme is "Famous Works of Art" with 18 brands involved. You will only have to visit one shop to purchase (The Polish Pickup Shop) and the pre-order purchase window will be the first Friday of the month, this time it will be April 7th - 10th, with one shipping fee and polishes shipping 2-3 weeks out.

*I am including the art inspiration photos provided from each maker below the polishes' description*

Contrary Polish Femmes au Puits

Three coats

Deep lilac crelly with matte micro-glitter in shades of orange, gold, blue, red, pink and green
Inspired by:
Paul Signac - Femmes au puits
I love that maker Carrie went with a pointillism painting as her inspiration and the result is truly unique and so very pretty. It applies easily with three thinner style coats needed for opacity. It does dry to a textured finish, with the thinner base and the multitude of glitter so I recommend applying a double layer of topcoat.

Girly Bits Cosmetics Glass Scale Dragon

Two coats

Aquatic blue scattered holographic with blue and silver holo, bronze, red, blue and violet flakes, and blue and violet shimmer

Inspired by:

The mosaic dragon sculpture by Gaudi at Park Guell in Barcelona, Spain.

This will glimmer and sparkle in the sun, just as I would imagine the dragon sculpture would too. Lots of detailing going on with the holo/shimmer/flakes but like the mosaic design, it flows well and doesn't feel fussy, just complex. The formula is thicker but flows well and goes on easily with two coats needed for coverage.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer Good Morning, Lollipop!

Two coats

Seafoam green creme with various types and sizes of red/pink shimmer

Inspired by:

Frederick Carl Frieseke - In the Doorway (Good Morning)

Lightly and lovely! The seafoam green is a very fresh looking green, which is how I feel when I view the painting. The delicate pink shimmer picks up from the dress, I love how that plays into the interpretation. The application was without issues, slightly thicker in formula and opaque in two coats.
