Darling Diva Polish Group Customs

Good afternoon, lovelies!! Today I have a couple of beautiful group customs from the creative mind of Carrie over at Darling Diva Polish. I was so excited to get these as I got to be involved in the process; my color inspiration photo and name was picked for one of the polishes! But I must say, these were both super hard to photograph; I had to get pretty creative with my lighting and angles and I still don't think I captured all the beauty these polishes hold.

First up is Fucking (released as Fricken) Swallow, inspired by a beautiful and very Tumblr-esque edit of the Tulip Nebula.

This is a dark blurple jelly packed with about a million and a half different colored flakies. I'm wearing 3 coats here.

Next up is Ink Spill, inspired by a piece from photographer Alberto Seveso's Underwater Ink series.

This one is my favorite, but I'm a little teeny bit biased as this is my photo and name. It's a light blue with a subtle purple shimmer and a generous dusting of holo. This is 3 coats.

For more swatches of these polishes and other various shenanigans, be sure to check out We're All Darling Divas on Facebook!

Ooh La Lacquer Besos Trio

Good afternoon, darlings! Today I'm super excited to share a new to me indie, Ooh La Lacquer! I was recently asked to swatch for Nastassia and a couple of days ago I received my package with a lovely hand written note thanking me for agreeing to swatch and explaining the polishes I was sent. This is the Besos Trio, originally meant to be limited edition Valentine's Day set but due to their popularity they've now become a permanent edition to her shop!

Anyway let's get on to the pretties. yes???

First up is Smooches, a fun pink glitter bomb with a sprinkling of red and holo glitters as well. I don't often wear glitter so I do need to work on my technique but this is around one and a half-ish? dabbed coats with a generous layer of topcoat.

Next is Muah, a bright hot pink creme with gold flakies. This one was super sheer at first but built up really well. I'm wearing three coats with top coat.

And finally I have Tender Kisses, a light rose-ish, bubblegum-ish, baby-ish pink holo with a teensy bit of gold flakies. It's difficult to actually see the flakies themselves, but they add some sort of magical metallic depth to the polish. This is 3 coats with top coat.
