Doctor Lacquer Coholorful Traits Collection Reviews & Swatches

Happy Friday! I hope you have some weekend plans. :) I don't think we will be doing too much, just cleaning up more outside. We are almost done getting rid of all the leaves (I swear they are reproducing while we sleep) and then after that I have some DIY projects planned that I hope work out as good as I have them in my head. :P 
Today I am super excited to share Doctor Lacquer's recent collection Coholorful Traits! This collection is made up of thermal holographic polishes. How awesome is that! 
To save you on a lot of reading, I will say now all photos are 3 coats with top coat and in the order of warm, transition and cold. I'll leave my thoughts at the bottom of the post because I bet you are eager to see these beauties! ;)

I didn't have a problem with consistency or dry time with any of these polishes. Natural Flirt, Optimistic Youth and Royal Luxury did have some problem with pigment clumps. They were only visible at one stage of the thermal change, some more obvious than others. Angelyn, the creator of Doctor Lacquer, does note that this is because thermal pigments have a lower dispersion and that some of the pigment will disperse after applying. Nevertheless these polishes are amazing! ;)

This collection, along with other Doctor Lacquer polishes, will be restocked April 1st at 9 PM EST in Doctor Lacquer's etsy storefront and through DoctorLacquer.com! Make sure to follow Doctor Lacquer on Facebook and Instagram!
