Swatch & Review: Sick Lacquers "Sugar Rush"

Sugar Rush is a 3 free crelly white polish jam packed with all kinds of different sizes, shapes and colors of glitter.  This is two coats of Sugar Rush with no undercoat.

The polish went on very easily.  It was completely opaque in one coat, but I almost always apply two coats of my polish, so two is shown in the photographs.  I had absolutely no problems with the glitter.  No fishing required.

I think Sugar Rush is super cute and it makes me think of balloons and confetti.  I can't wait to use this polish for some nail art.

Get your own bottle of Sugar Rush at the Sick Lacquers store!

I won this polish in a giveaway from Me an My Nail Polish.

Nail Art: Ocean Water Ombre

My brother-in-law said this mani reminded him of ocean water, hence the name.

My gradient didn't turn out as well as I hoped.  I know I can (and have) done much better than this, but it was the first time I had done it forever, so I cut myself a little slack.  I started out with a white base and sponged on the blue.  To shake it up a bit, I decided to do an accent nail using one of my new (and first) indie polishes.

Polishes Used:

Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" (#101)

Julep "Robin" (#2187)

Sinful Colors "Midnight Blue" (#105)

Swatch & Review: Sick Lacquers "Graffiti"

I won this polish in a giveaway hosted on Me and My Nail Polish.

Thanks again!

I'm not going to lie.  I was so insanely excited when I won this giveaway.  Never in my life have I ever used an indie nail polish and I was extremely eager to expand my collection.  I'm a big supporter of indie polish makers (and books, as you will see) so I get extremely giddy to try indie polishes.  In this giveaway, I won two polishes from Sick Lacquers; Graffiti and Sugar Rush.  I plan on swatching Sugar Rush soon, so be on the lookout for that!

I didn't try it as soon as I wanted, but once I did get a chance, I jumped at it.  I decided to use it as an accent nail along with a blue/white ombre mani.

One coat "Graffiti" over Sinful Colors "Snow Me White" & top coat.

The polish went on super easy, I didn't have to mix it up in the bottle or anything.  The above photo is only one coat and I was so happy with how it turned out.  I did end up adding another coat, but honestly, I was perfectly happy with just the one.

I really can't wait to swatch "Sugar Rush" and hopefully in the future I'll get to try more polishes from Sick Lacquers.  I had a great first impression of Indie polishes and I'm excited to try more in the future!
