Hello Lovelies! Today was supposed to mark the beginning of a swatch and post fest, but everything went wrong. Again. I swear this year has been the worst year as far as luck.
As some of you already know, my gigantic 120 lb beast of a dog knocked my tripod over and broke the darn thing. I was unable to take photos since my camera is a beast ( I use a Canon EOS Rebel T4i) and I can't hold the darned thing and get the angles I want without a tripod. So yesterday I picked up an awesome new tripod (Pistol grip, swivel head) and was so jazzed to try it out. Buuuuut.....the mounting plate was missing. So today I had to drag my happy hiney back to Best Buy to get a tripod that was complete. Made it all the way home and realized that I wasn't swatching anything because I was out of acetone. So back across town I go, so I can grab some acetone from Sally's. Get home and am so excited to get started. WHAM! One of my photo light bulbs burns out. So back to the other side of town I go, to grab a new bulb. Of course, the one place in town that carries them doesn't have the right color temp, so I made do with a slighter yellower bulb until the new one from Cowboy Studio gets here.
Seriously, not the best Monday I've had. Thankfully I am finally all ready to go. I'm going to be busting my butt over the next day and a half though.
I also realized that this amazing polish was still sitting in my blog folder. *Shakes Head* I really should've gone back to bed this morning!
So today's polish is an absolute beauty that I won in another naming contest on IG (If you're not following me there, you can find me under @KimbersKorner). I was scrolling through my feed one day and saw Jillyan from Euphoric Lacquers had posted a pic of this gorgeous Vivid Royal blue jelly with large Silver holo circle glitters and smaller blue hexes - and it needed a name. The large circle glitters in the blue base really reminded me of a blue moon, so I suggested "Once In A Blue Moon" as the name. And it won! I'm always so shocked when I win these things...I'm not exactly an epic namer, ya know.
Here is 3 thin coats of Once In A Blue Moon, with top coat:
Now I knew I would love this, since it combines my fave base color and circle glitters, but I wasn't prepared to love this so much that I couldn't take it off! I wore this for days, folks. 3 days. That is rare. But look at it! That base color is just so rich and vibrant, and those glitters just make me want to do the dance of joy. And check out the coverage and opacity - for a jelly! Woah mama!! I've already proposed to my bottle, but it hasn't answered.
Once In A Blue Moon's formula is absolutely awesome. The consistency is a touch thicker thatn I'm used to with jellies, but it made application a breeze. No thickening during use and no clumpy glitters with this girl either. Application was so lovely that I was almost sad when I was done. this girl flows onto the nail like buttah! No dragging or balding, and no glitter fishing, despite the larger, heavier circle glitters. I used 3 thin coats here, but honestly could've stopped at 2 since this girl is very opaque for a jelly. I really only added the last coat out of habit. Dry time was incredible - even at 3 coats my nails were dry before I could finish cleaning up and reach for my top coat.
This is my first Euphoric Lacquer baby, but man, am I impressed! I mean, that color, those glitters, and the formula and application make for one truly perfect polish. I'm hoping to get my hands on some more Euphoric Lacquers beauties as soon as I'm done with review polishes. I'm drooling over Caution! Black Cat Crossing and Turning Over A New Leaf. I'm also in love with Delirium, an awesome neon glitter topper.
You can grab your own bottle of Once In A Blue Moon (and check out the other 2 beauties I mentioned above) by heading on over to Euphoric Lacquer on Etsy. Full size polishes run $8.50, minis $4.00. Be sure to browse around - there are some really unique and stunning polishes in the shop. Don't forget to follow Euphoric Lacquer on Instagram for new releases, re-stock and sales info, and swatch pics.
What do you think of Once In A Blue Moon? Are you as in awe as I am?
I'm working on some swatches of Polish TBH, Love Angeline, Cinema Swatch, Gothic Gala and Tawdry Terrier for you all. I should have at least 3 posts up between tomorrow morning and tomorrow night, so keep an eye out!
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
-Kimber
