Initial Lacquer A Day at the Lake, Montana at Midnight and Wisterious Reviews & Swatches

Afternoon everyone! Hopefully the weather near you is better than the weather near me! :P It's been yucky and rainy here which has caused my allergies to act up, so I'm moving a bit slower than usual. I have 3 new colors from Initial lacquer (and a surprise to follow this post) to share with you today. Something super fun about these polishes is I helped Iris, the creator of Initial Lacquer, name them . :)
Press Sample

A Day at the Lake contains light green, yellow, pink and glitters in various shapes and sizes in a gray/blue jelly base. I used 3 coats with a top coat of Seche Vite.
Out of the bunch this has the most unique glitter and base color combination and I mean that in a good way! The base is something like I haven't seen before and the glitters Iris used aren't something I would have thought to put together. In the end they all just work together! Formula was a bit thick, though workable, and I had no problem getting out glitter or with dry time.

Montana at Midnight is a deep blue with a blue shimmer. All nails are 2 coat with no top coat.
Eep this color is stunning! There are 2 awesome points I need to make about. ;) 1) It's not too much of a dark blue that it looks black in low light. You can tell it's a darker blue in lower lighting and it really lights up in the sunlight! 2) I was brave and wore this without a base coat for a few hours to see if it would stain and it doesn't! Now I can't say if you wear it for a week it won't, but usually in a few hours I will have staining on blue polishes similar to this. Formula was just as great as the color it's self- perfect!
Wisterious is a light periwinkle with silver shimmer.
Another stunning creme with added shimmer. While I didn't get a chance to try it out (sorry allergies are being jerks :( ), I think this would be a perfect base color to Initial Lacquer Ice Cube. It's a beautiful pastel and something else Initial Lacquer has whipped up that is perfect spring. Formula and application was a breeze.

I'm not sure when these colors are set to be released, but if you hang around for a few minutes I have a giveaway following this post! Initial Lacquer can be purchased through Etsy.
