The Lady Varnishes - You Remind Me Of The Babe

Hey guys,

You remind me of the babe
What babe?
The babe with the power
What power?
The power of voodoo
Who do?
You do
Do what?
Remind me of the babe.

Sorry I couldn't resist that is my ABSOLUTE favourite scene/song from The Labyrinth so when I saw there was a polish with the same name how could I not. EVEN though it was packed with bar glitter, and as a polish I wasn't stoked. I HAD to just because of the name.

Overall my feelings are mixed about this one. I kinda liked the colour scheme, but application was awful as it so often is with bar glitter. And then on top of everything it didn't build up like I expected it to. I should have used a white base. So these swatches are 3 coats by itself and one coat over black.

I appreciate what was trying to be done here and with these collections from The Lady Varnishes but somehow I just feel this one missed the mark. Dang bar glitter! If there was less bar glitter and more square glitter I think this could have been a hit.

The Lady Varnishes - The Red Bull

Hey guys,

Okay so do I have any The Last Unicorn fans in the house? First of all I would like to say that I LOVED that movie, but I watched it a couple years ago and MAN is that movie kind of effed up. Anyways so when I came across The Lady Varnishes on Etsy and saw they had a Last Unicorn collection I was obviously intrigued. I decided to pick up two polishes from TLV (you'll see the other tomorrow)

These bottles come with a cute little charm on the bottle (if you buy six you get a free chain to make a necklace I believe) and you can even have them scented if you like. I chose the "surprise me" option on both my polishes and couldn't really tell what either one was but they were nice.

Application was kind of a bitch as it often is with such densely packed glitter polishes. It took a bit of time to get things laid out nicely, once I did though I was quite happy with this. This was two coats.
