Yume Lacquer Sailor Moon Inspired Collection Sample Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations!

*Press Sample*
Today I have a new (to me) indie brand that has an entire collection based on Sailor Moon.  The brand is called Yume Lacquer.  The Sailor Moon Collection contains 10 colors, today I'll be sharing 3.  Be sure to check out her store to see the other colors as well.

Now let's get to some swatches!

First up is Courageous Thunder, which is an emerald green creme with light pink micro glitter.  This polish is really pretty and sparkled under the simulated sunlight.  Photos show 2 coats with shiny top coat.

Next is my favorite, Rainbow Heart.  Rainbow Heart is a light pink polish with a ton of iridescent glitter and gold shimmer.  In the filtered light the iridescent glitter popped and in the simulated sunlight the golden shimmer shined bright!  Photos show 3 coats for total opacity with a shiny top coat.

Last is Turbulent Space, a navy blue polish.  Turbulent Space needs 2 coats for total opacity as it is on the inky side and does contain some textural pigments for those who love texture.  Photos show 2 coats with 2 coats of shiny top coat.  *Highly recommend a 2 base coats to prevent staining AND cleaning up any skin as soon as possible if there is contact made with the polish!

Loves:  I really enjoyed the surprise of pink micro glitter in Courageous Thunder and the golden shimmer in Rainbow Heart.  The three colors were beautiful and fun.  I also love that all Yume Lacquer is 5-free, so they don't contain any of the 5 nasties that can be found in polish.

Wishes: I wish the texture in Turbulent Space was a little more easier to work with, I struggled to get a uniform texture look.  Amanda, the owner is going to work on the formula to try to get it more uniform!  It is always wonderful to see indie brands take feedback and run with it. :)

Beginnails' Sunday Six Week 42

Greetings and Nailutations,

This past week, there wasn't as much nail art, but lots of beautiful polish swatches!  I had a hard time picking only 6 because this week there was some gorgeous glitter polishes that I have fallen in love with.

Let's get to the manis!

First mani I used 4 of the 5 Fanny Pack Collection from CDB Lacquer.  I made blobs or dots on a makeup sponge and sponged on the color over white to make it pop.  Then I used a black nail art pen to draw on an outline of leopard print.  I love how this turned out.

Next mani I used Bell Bottoms as the base and then did glitter placement of Disco Days.  Both of these polishes are from Drip Drop Nail Paint and available for purchase.

This swatch is of Berried Treasure, also from Drip Drop Nail Paint.  This was a limited edition polish and I was so happy to get my hands on it.  I love purple polishes.

Next mani I did to support a fellow nail polish addict (@amyylyn on instagram) who is struggling with the diagnosis of her mother in law with stage IV pancreatic cancer.  Another friend (@amylovesnewwave on Instagram) organized a group of us to do purple manis to let her know that we are all thinking of her and her mother in law and family.  This mani features Ain't Life Grape from Jenna Hipp with stamping from MoYou Princess Plate 14.

This swatch was from my review of Sincerely Polish Once Upon An Enchanted Night Collection.  This polish is called Wicked Stepmother and below shows it mattifed.  I love glitter jellies when they are used with a matte top coat.

The last polish is a fun Holloween glitter topper from Smokey Mountain Lacquers.  This is Night Of The Grim over several festive colors (including Boogie Man from Smokey Mountain Lacquers and Piper Chapman from Liquid Frosting).

That's all I have for this week!  What was your favorite?

Happy Polishing,
