Laquerlicious: Sea Grass

Good morning lovelies! I'm finally feeling better today, so it's going to be a two post day! I'm anxious to catch up on swatches and I have a veritable TON of awesome polish to share with you.

I'm also excited because I pampered myself a bit yesterday and had my hair cut and colored. It's completely different and I am loving it! I went from my natural color - a very odd ash blonde/brown/grey color to champagne blonde, and cut my hair into a sleek, short, inverted bob with Bettie Page Bangs. My stylist is amazing, and I haven't been this happy with my hair in a long time. If you're near ABQ, you need to visit Katie at ABQ Hair Studio!

I have a really gorgeous new polish from Laquerlicious to share with you this morning (ABC Challenge post will be up later this afternoon). I'm always so excited when Michelle creates new glitters! I have a total of 5 new Laquerlicious beauties to share with you, but I really could not wait to try this one out.

Sea Grass is a mix of multiple shades of teal, green and light green hex, square and micro bar glitter in a clear base with green shimmer.

Another versatile polish, Sea Grass looks great on her own, but I really wanted to layer this over a mint color to play up the teal a bit. 

All photos are 1 coat of Sea Grass over Orly Gumdrop:

I really love this combo. I'm a big fan of teal and green together, and Sea Grass has a perfect balance of each. I apologize for the random bottles in these shots - my nails were getting a bit too long and holding that mini bottle was rough! I actually took down my length after I took these. Normally that would make me sad, but I had this weird curve in one of my nails and filing them down seems to be taking care of that little pest! But, let's talk more about Sea Grass.....

Formula:
As usual with Laquerlicious, the formula on Sea Grass was flawless.  Usable straight from the bottle , I have yet to need a sigle drop of thinner with Laquerlicious polishes.Sea Grass is thick enough to carry the glitter, but not too thick to work with, and no thickening up during use.

Application:
Easy Peasy! Sea Grass goes on smooth and the glitter is evenly distributed on the nail. Coverage is excellent- I needed a single coat for this mani. Worn alone, Sea Grass needs 2 coats for full coverage. Dry time was fast, and despite being packed with glitter, I did not need anything other than my usual topcoat for a smooth surface.

Do I even need to say it? I love Sea Grass, and I adore Laquerlicious. Michelle creates some of the best glitters around! You can check out everything Laquerlicious has to offer by visiting LaquerliciousUnity on Etsy. All Laquerlicious creations are 3-free and cruelty-free.
