Dark Horse Lacquer Summer Escapes Shimmers Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations!

*Press Sample*
It's been awhile since I've posted - I've had a lot going on.  My mother and niece were visiting for the last 3.5 weeks, the tree at the house they were staying in fell down due to a huge storm, I flew back to Seattle with my mom and niece for my mother's retirement party and then lastly attended the Seattle Indie Shop.  (Yes, I totally convinced my family to hold the retirement party the same weekend as The Indie Shop....#priorities!)  :)

Today I'm sharing the first collection from Dark Horse Lacquer - Summer Escapes Shimmers.  It consists of 5 shimmer polishes that can be swatched to opacity in ~3-4 coats, used as toppers AND THEY STAMP!!  I also have an extra polish to share that was sent to me as well!

Let's get to the swatches!
