Hello lovelies,

I've had a chance to swatch few more gorgeous Cadillacquer polishes from lovely Madeleine! Today I'll show you three shades, each is different and pretty in its own way :) If you've missed previous Cadillacquer swatches, view them here.

Bring On The Night - black jelly base with emerald green glitter and with just a hint of magenta specks. I find the shade quite unique as usually I see black base paired with blue or red glitter. The polish itself is not very opaque and I think I would need three thicker coats for full coverage so I've layered it. I've applied one coat over A England Camelot. Application was easy and the polish dried fast.

Effervescent - warm orange jelly base with blue iridescent particles and pearl white glitter. Imagine warm beach sand, sea and sunset...that's what I think of when I see this polish. The orange has red undertones making it really warm and pretty. It has white pearl glitter that is coloured by the orange jelly. I'm wearing two thicker coats.

Once More, With Feeling - lavender blue sheer jelly with magenta shimmer and white and pink square glitter. Another pretty combination for the lovers of blue shades. It applied very easily and I'm wearing two thicker coats. They dried average to fast but a bit gritty so I needed to apply topcoat.

All three polishes had nice formula but were a little bit sheerer than I would have expected. Each bottle of Cadillacquer has 15ml and black ridged cap that makes opening the bottles easy.  

You can purchase Cadillacquer polishes in Madeleine's Etsy store and they are also available at Harlow & Co. Polishes are priced between $12-14 and international shipping is available. Stay up to date at Cadillacquer Facebook page

Hello lovelies,

I've got some more awesome Shimmer polishes to show you! Shimmer polish is well-known for its pretty glitter bombs and I am always amazed to see more and more amazing combinations! So here they are:

Karen - purple, blue, silver and holo glitter in a lightly tinted base. Karen is girly purple with flashes of blue glitter and looks great layered over pinks and purples. I have applied one coat over Dermelect Moxie. The glitter density is very nice but not dense enough for full coverage in two coats. It dries fast but I needed topcoat to smooth the surface.

Liana - black, dark blue, holo, silver glitter in a grey tinted base. This pretty blue and black glitter combo has just the good amount of gold. The bottle is packed with glitter and it could possibly be opaque in two coats. I have chosen to layer it instead though, I have applied one coat over Zoya Rocky. It applied well and dried fast and slightly gritty.

Amy - light blue, red, pale gold and green in a light pink tinted base. This glitter would work nicely with many different colour bases. I have layered one coat over Zoya Micky. It is also great for gradients (as are most of Shimmer polishes). It applied well and dried fast.

Erica - pea green, holographic, gold and teal glitter in a clear base. This manicure evokes St. Patrick's to me, it has lovely flashes of green and gold. I have applied one coat of Erica over Zoya Josie. It dried fast and gritty so I've applied thick coat of topcoat.

Linna - green, teal, red, gold, orange and blue glitter in a clear base. This colour combo is mostly teal with hints of green and red glitter. I have applied one coat of Linna over Dermelect Renegade. One coat provided nice glitter coverage. I didn't experience any problems with application and it dried fast.

So that was another batch of Shimmer Polish swatches. They all have pretty much the same formula that dries fast and applies well. I have plenty more to show you so stay tuned!
