Hello Lovelies! I really wish that I had been able to post earlier, but the hubby's days off were spent working on my son's bedroom. We sorted and threw away alls sorts of old things we had stored in that room, hauled loads to the dump, primed over the former artwork on the walls and then painted the final color. I spent 3 days covered in dust and paint and I'm glad that it's almost finished.
Thankfully I can now get back into an actual swatching routine! I have some awesome Holiday polishes coming up this week, as well as that promised Polish TBH, and I am so excited to show those off. I'll also finally post the giveaway, although I'm still going back and forth on the prize sets. I suppose I'll have to finalize that tomorrow so I can get it up and running over the weekend.
Today I have an awesome top coat to share with you all, and I'm way excited about this one. I love wax effect top coats. I also love Matte Top coats, but there is something about that smooth, waxy look that really gets me. I was so happy when Lac Attack sent me their Waxy Lady Top Coat to share with you all, but I had a hard time choosing a base color. I knew I wanted something that really popped and would show off that waxy look, so I eventually settled on OPI Eurso Euro, a stunning Blurple creme. I know that most everyone on earth has seen this polish with a shiny top coat, and had a feeling it would look amazing with Waxy Lady on top. I was right!
This is 2 coats of OPI Eurso Euro topped with Lac Attack Waxy Lady Top Coat:
Okay, if Eurso Euro wasn't a gorgeous polish before, it is truly awesome after adding Waxy Lady. I love how smooth this looks, and how the finish really looks more wax-like than just mattified. It allows the color and some of the shine to come through while creating the perfect smooth, slightly matte yet still moist looking finish that I just adore. One of the things that keeps me from mattifying often is that it seems to dull the color a bit too much for me, whereas a wax effect top coat keeps that color shining through.
Waxy Lady's formula is a touch thicker than your usual top coat, yet it's so easy to work with and doesn't glop up or thicken while polishing. Application was straight forward and perfect - Waxy Lady flows just as nicely as a shiny top coat, levels perfectly and dries just as fast. My nails were dry to the touch within 2-3 minutes. One of the things that truly stood out here was the wear. I'm used to matte or wax effect manicures having some terrible wear with Creme polishes, but Waxy lady wore perfectly without any chips or tip wear for over 2 days, and that was while being highly abused during home improvement time! *Angels Sing!*
Without a doubt, Waxy Lady is my very fave wax top coat ever! I just have to have many bottles of this, and I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more manicures topped with this baby. I can't wait to show you a glitter polish with this top coat - it's epic! If you're a fan of mattifying your manicures, I highly suggest you give Waxy Lady a go. I guarantee you'll love the finish. It's pretty gosh darn amazing.
You can grab a bottle of Waxy Lady at LacAttack.com. A full size bottle runs a mere $8.00, and minis are available as well. While you're there, take a peek at the new Cell Block Tango Collection! It's Epic, seriously. You can also follow Lac Attack on Facebook and Instagram for sales and re-stock info, new releases, and swatches.
What do you think of Waxy Lady? Do you prefer Wax effect or full matte manicures?
I'll be back tomorrow with my Mish Mash Challenge mani for this week - it's a pretty epic polish so be sure to check back. And I have a new to me Indie Brand for Flakie Friday as well as new Polish TBH and Candied Lustre's Holiday Collection coming up! I'm going to be a swatching fiend!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
