Liquid Lacquer Sexy Secretary

 
I have been waiting to wear this polish since the day I got it.  It was Christmas time, so I was doing green and red holiday manicures.  Liquid Lacquer is one of the few indies I own and I love Melissa's polishes.  I've got a few more coming to me in the mail.  If you like jelly sandwiches you'll love Sexy Secretary.


Sexy Secretary is a beautiful taupe grey jelly base with copper colored hex and micro glitter.  There are also some holographic micro particles in there too for some added sparkle.  The minute I saw this in her shop I had to have it.  The contrast of the orange on the grey base is stunning.  It is

 
 
What you see here is 4 coats.  The first coat is fairly sheer but packed with glitter.  The formula applies smoothly with each coat and dry time is extremely fast which makes easy to build up to the desired opacity.  This polish built to full opacity after 3 coats but I did and additional coat for personal preference.  This polish is like a jelly sandwich in a bottle.   
 


Check out Liquid Lacquer on Facebook.  She will be posting info on her next restocks and creations there.

 
 


I purchased this polish with my own money and the opinions are my own

Zoya Fei Fei

Today I bring you FeiFei.  This is one of two colors I picked up from the Diva Collection.  It is truly a unique color, which is why I bought it.  Zoya describes it as a medium steel blue base with heavy gold, blue and pink iridescent metallic sparkle. A truly unique sparkling iridescent blue that adds a magical look to the nails.  It is like nothing else I've ever seen, and nothing else I own.  I think you either love this color or you don't.  I love it!



It is hard to put into words what color FeiFei actually is because it is packed with different colored glitter.  It is also hard to get a decent picture of it.  Depending on the light it is a gunmetal blue grey color, other times it has a more aqua or teal hue.  It is packed with gold micro glitter, and also has blue and pink micro glitter adding to the sparkle.  The pink sparkle sometimes looks pink and sometimes has a purple hue.  I love it, it is the perfect compliment for the dusty hues of fall for when you need some sparkle and shine.  I feel like I could wear this to work because it isn't too bright or loud.


For being packed with so much sparkle, FeiFei goes on pretty smooth or with just a little texture.  One coat of Diamond Dry top coat smoothed everything out.  I used 3 coats of FeiFei in all of these photos, but had full coverage at 2.  I went with 3 to see how much different it was from 2, and it was just a little darker.  I will probably use 2 coats in the future to speed up dry time, 3 coats took a little longer but wasn't terrible.  I didn't have any application issues, which is what I've come to expect with Zoya.  No chipping and just minor tip wear on a couple of nails after a few days.

Check out the sparkle.
