Vapid Lacquer The Curiouser and Curiouser Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hi everyone! I have a new set from Vapid Lacquer to share. These six polishes make her Curiouser and Curiouser Collection, inspired by Lewis Carroll's Tales of Wonderland. This collection will be released Saturday April 29th at 1 pm CST in Vapid Lacquer's shop. If you would like more release information, including what other products will be available or other swatches, I recommend joining the Vapid Lacquer Facebook group.

Vapid Lacquer 6 Impossible Things

Two coats
Purple to blue to red multi-chrome with scattered holo pigment
HELLO LOVER. Yes that needed to be said in all caps. Nice fluid formula, a bit watery but still got me opaque coverage in two coats.

Vapid Lacquer I'm Late!

Layered over a dark purple creme

Blue to purple multichrome topper

This is a somewhat a frosty topper but not one that is full of bruskstrokes. It is not a subtle topper either, whatever you layer this over will have that nice blue to purple shift, I went with a medium purple base and I think this turned out nicely if I may so.

Vapid Lacquer Much Muchier

Two coats

Black base with aqua, green, blue and violet shift plus pink/purple/blue/gold ultra chrome flakes and scattered holo

Lots of goodness going on here with all those extra details but not fussy or over the top. Just...beautiful. Slightly thicker in formula and opaque in two coats.

Vapid Lacquer Nonsense

Two coats

Berry base with turquoise and purple shift plus micro-flakes and shimmer

Darkly vampy and lucious, that's what came to mind. Again, similar formula as the previous polish, a bit thicker in formula but not all difficult to work with or apply, opaque in two coats.

Vapid Lacquer Not All There Myself

Two coats

Rose pink with red to green shift and blue to violet to gold micro-flakes

I love the rosy pink coloring of this and though the shift is more subtle here, it adds extra gorgeous to the polish. Formula, is again, nice and easy to work with, two coats shown.

Vapid Lacquer Whooo Are Youuu

Two coats

Teal base with pink, purple, green and gold shift with holographic micro-flakes

Hot damn, this is stunning and this is coming from a fair-weather green polish fan. I think this will be a popular pick so grab this without hesitation.

Vapid Lacquer February 2017 Birthday Release plus Candy Shop Collection: Swatches and Review

Provided for Review

Hey y'all! Today is all about Vapid Lacquer. Kry's birthday is in this month of February, and in celebration, she is going to be releasing (plus re-releasing) all these awesome products.

There will also be new bath and body scents, waxes and sugar scrubs, to find out more about specific release information, check out the Vapid Lacquer's Facebook group, Vapicorns. Everything will be available February 28th at 7:30 pm CST in Vapid Lacquer's shop!

Formula Notes:

Rather than repeat myself below each description, I am going to post notes here at the beginning. This is a large set of polishes, with a few different finishes included. That said, I found everything to apply really, really well. Except for just one, I needed just two coats for full opacity for almost all the polishes. The polishes' formula itself is a fluid one, that goes on smoothly. The shimmers were slightly thicker, the cremes slightly thinner, but nothing stood out as problematic or gave me issues when applying. Some of the polishes will be re-releases of previously offered polishes, which is great for those who missed them the first time around, plus a few new items.

Vapid Lacquer Persistence

Two coats

Orchid pink linear holographic

I am starting out with the newest first, including this pretty thing, which will now be part of the core line. Out of the three holos shown, this is definitely my favorite.

Vapid Lacquer Ruffian

Two coats

Black base with red/copper/gold shifting shimmer

Based on prototype #109. This is the dark standout of the set, unexpected but entirely appreciated. Ruffian is not a core polish but will be restocked at a later time.

Vapid Lacquer Waxing Poetic

Two coats

Dark turquoise green with pink/gold/green shifting shimmer

Another new release based on a previously done prototype. This is also is not a core polish but will be restocked at a later time.

Mmmmm, sexy beast of a polish. I love seeing that shimmer against the dark base.

Vapid Lacquer Birthday Bitch 2017

Two coats

Turquoise jelly with pink to gold to green shifting flakes

This is a limited release, once it's sold out, it will not return again until Krys' birthday next year.

Confession time: I have admired this polish in the past but I never had the burning desire to own it. After applying it now, I completely change that opinion. The glimmer of the flakes in the high shine jelly base is absolutely stunning in person.

Vapid Lacquer Pegasus Poots

Two coats

Periwinkle/purple linear holographic

Re-release

Soft and pretty and oh so wonderful.

Vapid Lacquer Twerk-uoise

Two coats

Light aqua blue linear holographic

Re-release

This is the third holo from this set and like the others, is more subtle in holo and quite dreamy on your nails.

Vapid Lacquer Unicorn Egg

Two coats

Pale gray toned off white base with pink, blue, and purple micro-glitter and holo pigment

Re-release

The pop of color from the glitter is lovely in that pale crelly base.

Candy Shop Collection:

This is a re-release collection from 2015. The colors are not straight up, blindingly bright neons but muted/pastel neon shades. They do also have scattered holo, which is very subtle, just enough add some sparkle. I personally like the collection altogether, it's more fun to play with a set of rainbow colors but if I was playing favorites, I would go with Gum Drop and Lemon Drop.

Vapid Lacquer Bubble Gum

Two coats

Pastel neon pink with scattered holo sparkle
