Color is so fun, it reminds me of a refreshing summer pool. It is quite sheer, so you can adjust to the pigmentation that you want. I used 3 coats in the photos to get this translucent aqua color. In 3 coats I couldn’t quite get evenness across the nail though. I also notice a bit of shrinking at the tips that I’m not quite sure how to avoid (you can see this in one of my photos, this is a fresh mani so it’s not from wear).
-1 star cause it takes 100 coats but so worth it. people are obsessed and don't believe it's not gel! pictures are 1 coat (scary on natural nails.. i know. It looks so much better on extensions/tips like in the product photos) but once you build up to several coats like the second pic its so gorg (I lost count it was either 5 or 6 coats). last pic is 5 days of wear. xo
For my first purchase, I purchased five polishes form lights lacquer and I am beyond satisfied with the colors, the formulas, and the shipping and delivery times! I will definitely be purchasing more!
I like it a lot, versatile enough for winter and summer. It does take a lot of coats to build up the blueness, but it’s a jelly so it’s to be expected. It looks great topped with City of Stars, definitely gives it a winter vibe. I definitely recommend this shade.
This is absolutely gorgeous! However, the formula is awful. I collect a lot of jellies and a well formulated one will self level on the natural nail after a few coats. This is fine for nail art but even after 4 coats, the formula drags on the previous layers (dried in between) and emphasizes texture on your nails even if you use filling base coat. I really wanted to love this polish but I'm super disappointed. I can only see this working well by itself on top of an artificial nail surface.
The colors are even better than I hoped for! Easy application too.
All the shades are a super high quality! Very unique! Everything arrived safely and quickly
I don't know it was just me, though it laid really well on my nails I felt like it came off more blue-green than I was expecting. I still really enjoy the color just not exactly what I thought it was going to be.
I love this polish. I put it on clear soft-gel nails and it was a really lovely and see-through. It takes a few coats to get a decent color and saturation but it’s a jelly so of course! It’s cute and gives such a nice beach vibe. I would buy it again.
I love the color and vibe. It reminds me of childhood summers when a melting popsicle would stain your mouth and fingertips blue. This is not 5 stars bc it doesn’t not go on evenly. It is patchy even in 3 coats
