Formula X - Clever

Hey guys,

So I hope everyone is having a great December so far, mine has been a little busy but mostly pretty good.

Today I have a gorgeous duochrome glitter to show you. I am in love with how pretty this is. And I love the blue/purple shift. Homerun by Formula X here

Formula X - Surreal

Hey guys,

So I have had a rough weekend, Friday I got dumped like yesterday's leftovers (I'm still trying not to be angry or bitter about this) but as a result of that I'm likely to have a lot more free time. So odds are normal posting may resume. Anyways love stinks. heck Who knows maybe I'll do some corresponding nails to mirror my feelings. Anything is possible.

Today I have another Formula X polish to show you, this is one of the holos, and it was on sale for like $6 or something. It's not the strongest holo I own and I have others similar to this. It was nice. And was holo-y. I don't know if this is a collection must own though.

Formula X - Marine

Hey guys,

So about a month ago now I had dragged the boyfriend into Sephora during a trip to the mall (I had wanted to go to the Lego store too) and while there I took a moment to browse the Formula X polishes which to be completely honest had never really tickled my fancy, they just seemed like a lot of what I already had. And after the debacle with the Sephora X Ariel polishes  - Also wtf Sephora no more Disney sets? How can you just QUIT like that?! - I just always passed them up however I was in a shopping mood. So I picked out three and they came home with me.

MAN IS MY MIND CHANGED. All I can say is that the impromptu polish purchase turned into me hopping on Sephora.com and ordering 10 more Formula X's mostly all on sale though.

I'm going to show you my favourite first. I was SO in love with this color, this was from the Seaglass Collection which is essentially sparkly matte glitters with no texture.

I LALALALALALAALLOVED this one. The application was great and wearing it just made me so happy. I didn't even get mad when it gave me smurf hands to remove.

Formula X - Erase & Quench

Hey guys,

So I have some exciting news coming down the pipe for Addicted to Lacquer! Starting this weekend we will finally have a Facebook page! (Click here to visit and Like us!)  AND shortly here (please bear with me as I work out the kinks) we will now be www.addicted-to-lacquer.com exciting! This probably isn't nearly as exciting for you guys as it is for me. I'm nerding out over here.

Today I have something a bit different. So I placed a Sephora order a couple weeks ago and they had a "Manicure Sample" promotion type thing that included a few manicure type samples. One of them was their Formula X cuticle remover "Erase" and their cuticle oil "Quench" So I thought I would test them out since I am HORRIBLE for never using samples. Here we go!


So here were my nails/cuticles/nail beds to start.

So I must say it kind of weirds me out how it talks about needing to stay out of the sun and may increase risk of sunburn.

So I followed the instructions and massaged it into my cuticles then used my cuticle pusher to push them back.

I have to say I didn't notice a whole heck of difference.


Next step was the cuticle oil, seems like your average cuticle oil here, it smelled nice but didn't seem too special or fast absorbing or anything too special.

This was the after.

Honestly I don't know how I feel about this, I'll say straight up that I don't ever see myself spending $17 on cuticle oil seeing as I likely already have enough to last me years. And as far as the cuticle remover goes? I am on the fence I may use it if I had it but am I likely to go out and buy it? Probably not.
What are your guys' thoughts. Do you use a cuticle remover?
