Lilypad Lacquer Spring Colors... The Blues (Part II)

So yesterday I shared some of my favorite Lilypad Lacquer greens for spring. As promised, I have the blues for you today.

This post is very picture heavy because of the number of blue polishes I chose. I had a ton of trouble narrowing these down. I hope you enjoy this review and my selections as much as I enjoyed wearing them and photographing them.

First up today I have baby Boy Blue. This polish was a little sheer for my taste in one coat, but with two it was fine. The formula was great and application was a breeze. My brush is a little wonky though for some reason. One or two of the bristles just bend upward. I think I read a blog post about straightening them in the past, it will be something I look up for future use because I love this polish too much not to use it again. These swatches are all without topcoat, although I have used topcoat with all of my Lilypad polishes in the past, with no issue of dulling.

Next up, I chose Oh So Fly, a polish sold exclusively at Beauty So Fly (located here: http://www.beautysofly.com/) I would describe this polish as a really light blue with purple and pink sparks and shifts. The formula was great, and application was easy peasy. Again, this one was a little sheer for my taste, but two coats was perfect for me.

 

All the photos are with flash as my non flash photos were complete CRAP! LOL!

 

The third Lilypad I have to share with you today is Violet Moon. Do not let the color in the bottle fool you!! To me it looks MUCH darker in the bottle then on the nail. This was easily a one coater, however, I chose to do two because I cannot seem to break a number sequence once I get started :P This, in my opinion, is a light teal blue polish with hints of lavender, pink, and lilac within.

 

 

First two photos are with flash:

Finally, I chose Splash. Splash is a gorgeous shiny metallic holo polish. That's three great elements that make an awesome polish when combined. This was a one coater, but... well if you have read this far, you already know!

The final photos are all with flash:

Lilypad Lacquer Spring Colors... The Greens (Part I)

I am in love with spring polish colors! My two favorite colors this year are blue and green. I used to HATE green and blue polish, and this winter season  started buying ALL the dark blues and greens...LOL! Now that spring is in the air (OK not really yet here in Oklahoma, I have a sunburn from fishing in 75 degree weather the other day, and today it was 35!), I thought I would show you a great brand, with some really pretty blues and greens you can wear for spring and summer.

Lilypad Lacquer has quickly become a brand I am in love with. I own 27 of them, and have a ton more on my wish list. I went through my collection and chose the ones I owned that were great blues and greens for these posts. Since there were so MANY photos, I chose to divide up the colors. Today I am going to show you the green colored ones, and tomorrow I will show the blue colored ones.

First up, I chose Frogs Alive as a perfect green for spring. It is bright, holographic, and reminds me of Easter grass found in Easter baskets like the ones I got as a child. The formula was smooth, the application was perfect, and it could have easily been a one coater, but I always like to use two, to be sure it is even and fully opaque. None of the photos include a topcoat, however I have used topcoat with each of these without it dulling the holo-ness.

 

 

The first three photos are without flash.

Next up, I chose Slimey Limey. This is a beautiful melon neon green color. Again the formula and application were great.

To show you the difference between Frogs Alive and Slimey Limey, I have a comparison photo:

 

 

The final Lilypad I am going to show you today is Aquadisiac. It is more of an aqua color leaning green. Another polish that applied easy and smooth, and had a nice formula.
