Hello and welcome! Any lovers of complex beauties out there? You've come to the right place. Today I have 4 new Lacquesters to show you and wow am I excited and grateful! This is my first time working with Caroline and she sent me a box of epic proportions so expect more reviews soon. I fell in love with SO many shades and as you know I am piiiiicky. It's possible the stroopwaffles she included had love potion on them though, I've developed a bit of an addiction.
3 of these are a somewhat limited release so pay attention! I took videos of each of these polishes to show the shifts and details, you can find them on my Instagram
here.
* When? Jan 19th 3:30 pm EST
ONE MORE GREEN
I have to start with my favorite of the bunch. No surprise here huh? One More Green has a lush mountain green base, multichrome that shifts from red/orange/copper/green and holographic micro glitters. This is Mortal Coil's evil twin and I loooove her.
- Available in Lacquester's shop Jan 19-31, after that exclusively from Russian stockist One More Polish.
- Price: 9.25 euros, approximately $11.36 USD
- 3 coats with topcoat, patchy at 1 coat, very close to opacity at 2. At 3 coats the polish was getting sticky around the lip of the bottle, some may prefer to add thinner.
- Removal difficulty 3 of 5, one being a creme and 5 glitterbomb. Mild scrubbing or soak for a bit.
- New style square bottle and brushes. The new bottles hold an extra ml, yay! Brushes fan out very nicely and are rounded at the edge. Caroline sent me replacement brushes for all my bottles so I cannot speak for the old brushes, it's possible you will receive old style bottles and brushes for some shades.
- Despite appearing blue here, glitter is holographic.

DEAR PRUDENCE
Described as a black base with shifting pigments in red/gold/orange/copper and holographic finish, contains spectreflair. In most scenarios this appeared more brown to me. So...holo and brown...not my normal style but I really liked this! Very shifty and complex, check out my Instagram video. Link at beginning.
- This will be available from Color4Nails at a later unspecified date.
- 2 coats with topcoat, patchy at 1.
- 2 of 5 removal difficulty due to tiny shards. Not hard but not like a creme.
- Easy to use, not too thick or thin.
- Price: 8.95 euros, approximately $10.95 USD.
- New style bottle. Love these brushes.

This is some artwork I did over Dear Prudence. One more Green is on my pinky and also under the ferns but you cant see it :/ Reverse stamping/decals done with Sinful Colors Snow Me White and Creative Shop plate 57. My topcoat smeared a little because I didn't think about floating it over decals.

The next 2 shades are prototypes and considered group customs. To purchase them you must join the
Lacquester Lovers Facebook fan group and also make a shop membership. To do this see the pinned post once you join the group. There's lots of fun stuff in the group anyways, sneak peeks and swatches. There will be a few other group only items that I don't have.
EMPRESSIVE (PROTO 10)
I just love the name of this one. The purple shift suggests Empress while the expressive flakies and overall complexity are impressive. ;) Blue/purple base that shifts to orange/red with multichrome flakies and holographic finish.
- 3 coats with topcoat, very easy to remove despite flakies. Sheer at one coat, builds up well.
- Dried a bit slow but I may have done my coats too thick.
- Not too runny or thick.
- LIMITED number available, one time only unless more ingredients can be procured. make sure to expense interest on this in the group if you love it.

Sunlight. I had just a few seconds of sunlight to grab
this and then it was gone for the day, my light setting needed
adjusting to correct skintone but the polish is accurate. |

OLD MASTERS (PROTO 11)
Last but certainly not least is the beautiful neutral shade with a multichrome kick! A medium taupe/grey base with multichrome pigment that shifts through red,orange,to gold and a holographic finish. So classy and beautiful!
- 3 cots with topcoat. Built up really well, I expected it to be sheer.
- No running,pooling or pulling, applied flawlessly.
- LIMITED availability, one time only. ( Must be a group member, see blurb above Empressive.)
- Studs from Born Pretty Store. ( I think.)

Make sure to check out the shop to see what other goodies are currently available.While I haven't reviewed them yet I recommend Bahama Mama and Batteries Included, super pretty. OH! make sure to grab your Mortal Coil while you are at it if you are buying direct. There's a US group buy going on inside the Facebook group if you would like to save on shipping, however what you can buy is limited and you can pick others up later at Color4nails. Thank you for reading, let me know what you plan to get or if you have tried this brand before what your favorite polish is.

Love Empressive - and I agree, the name works perfectly! I chuckle at the photos in the snow....it's been a few years since I have actually seen snow in real life. :)
ReplyDeleteAh to be somewhere warm! I get over the snow real fast....notice I never do any snow nails. Haha
DeleteThey’re all gorgeous! My faves are One More Green and Dear Prudence. Wish they were more readily available
ReplyDeleteMe too! Most Lacquesters do come to Color4nails eventually, and these will all be available in the group buy today!
