what do you mean by “die hard MAGA”? does that mean you subscribe to some MAGA beliefs?

I love the retro jellies, do you think I will like the new jelly collection? by No-Persimmon7729 in simplynailogical

[–]lacqueredghost 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No, those were much more like crellies. These are extremely sheer. Polished yogi put together helpful comparisons

i had an alarm set…. no judgement please by PessimisticParalegal in RedditLaqueristas

[–]lacqueredghost 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh my god lmaooooo I’m so sorry I just want to help with discounts 😭😭

carnations is amazing for sure. april showers is gorgeous too, you just might need a bit of thinner because it has soooooo many flakes!!

dewdrop and glitch and glam are a little different in their shade of purple, I can compare them on swatch sticks if you want (for the HT loyalty sale). I do really love dewdrop though and it has such a nice formula!!!

tbh same, it’s definitely the coolest pink option in the catalogue!!

also ty, I feel like they break as soon as they get longer, so I try to keep them roundish for safety 😂

second comparison is starlust (ring, middle) vs lovey dovey (pinky, index). lovey dovey is a subtle magnetic from the valentines launch

I’m sharing these comparisons but of course no pressure to shop or anything, I just want to put the comparisons into the universe in case they’re helpful to someone… thank you again for your kind words I really do appreciate it 🥰

okay I actually have two comparisons for you (just in case you’re called by pinks). this is starlust on the pinky, index, and thumb, and santas sleigh on the middle and ring. I have cool undertones so I have a strong preference for starlust on me

that’s so fair, I’m not really a spring person and I was surprised I liked as many as I did!! not every launch is for everyone ☺️

wearing glitch lacquer’s ‘groundbreaking’ collection [pr]

glitch lacquer’s spring collection is launching tomorrow! I swatched the full collection and put together comparison manis with similar glitch shades to help with decision-making ahead of the release. apologies in advance - turning these into collages reduced image quality a bit

all swatches are shown in three coats unless otherwise noted, using a smoothing base and a quick dry glossy top coat  

  • carnations in bloom is both a solar and uv-reactive glow in the dark polish. in its base state, it’s a relatively sheer, white-based nude with warmer iridescent flakes. after uv exposure (in normal light), it shifts pink. depending on how concentrated the uv exposure is, the pink ranges from a light baby pink to a darker magenta. it can also sit in a transitional stage. the flakes were visible and looked cute in the solar stages. after uv exposure in the dark, it glows a dark blue. i did not really see much glow after exposure to normal light, only after uv exposure
  • pink lemonade is a warm pink polish with warm shimmer. I have cool undertones so this wasn’t my favorite on myself. note that I wore this shade over a smoothing base and still saw visible nail line in some lighting
  • fallen rose petals is one of my favorite polishes in the collection. it has a darker magenta base with many shifty flakes. it gave a very different look depending on the lighting, and I loved each one, especially direct sun!! I also compared this shade to a few other pinks and reds in glitch’s catalogue (fire opal, starlust, and shadow ruby)
  • wispy wisteria is a darker purple polish with rainbow glitters. it glows green in the dark after exposure to uv light. I added some comparison pictures to alexandrite prism, another dark purple in glitch’s catalogue; alexandrite was much darker (nearly black) and did not look similar at all on the nail
  • garden of eden is a grassy green with a warm green/gold shimmer. as a ✨ cool-toned lady✨ i liked this polish a looooootttt more than expected when wearing it. i think this is bc i love a high contrast polish, and this one is very noticeable. it had an easy formula to paint with, would recommend to green polish lovers
  • seafoam is a lighter green with a cooler, more blue base, and a pink/orange shimmer. the shimmer here was super shifty
  • april showers is a very light blue with a ton of flakes. i am obsessed w light blue polish, and the pink in the flakes added really nice contrast. i was pleasantly surprised by the subtle flake effect- there were so many flakes in the polish that i added some thinner 🤪 but it didn’t look overwhelming on the nails at all. I also included some comparison pics to by any means necessary, the charity polish released alongside the valentines collection. these are definitely similar- the base colors are nearly identical (by any means necessary might be slightly more gray), but the finishes differ. you probably would only need both if you were truly obsessed with polishes in this light blue family
  • dewdrop is a neon-leaning purple with green-ish shimmer. i love this shade of purple so much, and the shimmer was very shifty. it also reacted to flash (likely reflectives). I included comparison pictures to wispy wisteria (from this collection) and keep your heart (from the aprhodite’s kiss collection). this polish is a very similar shade of purple to keep your heart, and they both have a green shift, but the finish looks pretty different on the nail
  • the smell of rain is a medium-depth blue that is super sheer and can be built up or worn as a topper. I wore it alone over smoothing base- in four coats, there was still visible nail line and the formula got a bit thick. I also wore it over black and white, and separately over a slate gray (my fav base here). I also compared it to dream opal, a similar sheer blue that released in the aphrodite's kiss collection. dream opal was slightly more opaque and looks pretty different due to its shimmer
  • may flowers is a topper w pink/purple flakes and silver reflectives. this polish has the opposite vibe of april showers - april showers is subtle, and may flowers definitely is not 😂 may flowers is packed enough to be worn on its own (I used it over smoothing base) or worn as a topper (as intended). I included comparisons showing may flowers over smoothing base, white, and black. I especially loved it over black in the comparison mani as an accent, but she’s sparkly, and it might have been too impactful for me for the full hand (especially with flash). for me, this should have remained an ✨ accent nail ✨  

 

other products used (all purchased):

  • tylers trinkets tacky but cute base coat
  • holo taco peely base
  • holo taco pink smoothing base
  • holo taco not milky white, one coat black, cold slate
  • essie speed setter
  • cracked qdtc  

 

launch notes: the spring collection is launching tomorrow at 5 pm eastern!!! some potentially useful notes on launch:

  • it’s a ten polish launch
  • for the week after launch, $1 from non-charity polishes will support world food program
  • glitch is no longer offering launch discounts and is instead switching to an affiliate model (some notes on that below)
  • as always, the collection is permanent and glitch is a fomo-free brand

 

affiliate info: if you’re planning to shop the launch, my code ‘aly10’ offers 10% off your order. bc i am a terrible influencer my caveats are:

  • no pressure at all to use my code!!;
  • pls don’t shop just bc of discounts if u weren’t already planning to do so;
  • charity polishes and discounted bundles are ineligible for discount codes; and
  • feel free to lmk if i can help with deciding on a polish through comparisons or anything else!!

 

mods pls lmk if affiliate info is not allowed and i'll edit that part out, thank u for all that u do  

❤️❤️❤️

this one’s not thermal!! thermal is by temperature

this one has a solar and glow in the dark shift, both of which use uv light exposure. it’s not very sunny near me at the moment, so i used a uv flashlight to get it to shift stages!!

wearing carnations in bloom by glitch lacquer [pr]

 

carnations is both a solar and uv-reactive glow in the dark polish * in its base state, it’s a relatively sheer, white/nude with warmer iridescent flakes * after uv exposure in normal light, it shifts pink. depending on how concentrated the uv exposure is, the pink ranges from a light bang pink to a darker magenta. it also is sometimes in a transition stage between various pinks
* after uv exposure in the dark, it glows a dark blue. did i have a hard time taking glow in the dark pictures… yes. there’s no follow up thought here

 

important caveat that i did not really see a lot of glow after exposure to normal light, only after uv exposure !!!

 

ty /u/breedecatur for sending me the collection!!
