TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indie Friday - Candy Lacquer High Tide


Welcome this week's episode of TGIF: Thank Goodness, Indy Indie Friday! Today is all about Candy Lacquer High Tide. A stunningly gorgeous glitter top coat!


This is two coats of Candy Lacquer High Tide over two coats of Misa Grey Matters (with a coat of Seche Vite). High Tide is a clear base with bar, hex and square glitters in shades of blue and green including turquoise, teal, chartreuse and moss. The application of this polish was normal for glitter. The only thing that didn't apply evenly is the bar glitter, which didn't seem to be as dense.


Close up of two coats of Candy Lacquer High Tide (with a coat of Seche Vite). Isn't it gorgeous! I love it! The colors are peacock colors too! :)


I wanted to show you what one coat looked like. Still super duper gorgeous, but you can see how the bar glitter didn't apply evenly. But I am totally alright with that because bar glitter is not my favorite. :)

Here is two coats of Misa Grey Matters. This is a lovely grey polish with silvery speckles! I love the color of this polish! But, it did not apply nicely at all. It was thin and watery and flooded cuticles. I've never tried any other Misa so I don't know if it is normal for their polish formulas.

Nail Mail Monday!


It's been awhile since I've had so many packages delivered in one day! I was so happy! :)


First up is my Cult Nails order from her second $5 sale! :) I got all the ones I wanted!


(l-r) Hypnotize Me, Let Me Fly, and Enigmatic. I have swatched these all for my swatchsicles and my favorite is Let Me Fly! It is stunning!


Next up is my order from Diamond Cosmetics. (l-r) Matte Smoke (yep a grey matte!), Chainmail Charm (suppose to be a holo, but isn't a really strong one), Talk of Tokyo, and Concrete Jungle (this is the polish that started the whole order!). Funny thing is that while doing my swatchsicles I have come to see that I really do like greens and greys and this purchase confirms it even more! :)


My quick order from Head2Toe for more clear nail tips for my swatchsicles with my first Misa polish in Grey Matters. This is a silvery shimmery grey!


These were not nail mail but what I picked up from Sallys this weekend! The Finger Paints were clearanced so they were an extra 50% off! $1.62 each for Circus Peanuts and Choco Mint! And then I asked the girl working if they had the new Orly Glam FX line in. They did in the back! She brought them out and I fell in love with Mermaid Tale.
