Hello Lovelies! Man, it has been a crazy day. For some reason the business is booked solid at the moment and I've been in and out all day. 7 clients may not seem like much, but at one hour per client, 15-45 minutes drive time each way, plus all my usual responsibilities, my day is already gone. I feel fairly triumphant actually getting this posted before midnight!
Today I have a new Indie Brand to share with you all. Gothic Gala Lacquers just opened shop late last month, but I have been stalking Sam and her polishes for a few months on Facebook and Instagram. I just had a feeling when I saw that first pic that Gothic Gala was going to be something special.
The first GG Polish that I'm sharing with you lovelies is Welcome To The Ball, a freaking stunning mix of various holographic glitters and microglitter in a charcoal base. Normally I save the big whammy for last, but I couldn't resist this one. It was calling my name way before it even made it to me!
This is 2 coats of Welcome To The Ball topped with NPB Glitter Food and HK Girl Top Coat:
Oh. My. God. Can we just take a moment to bask in the glory of this gorgeous polish?? Those holo glitters, the microglitter, that charcoal color....it's all just perfection. It's happy in a bottle, I tell you! But wait! There's more! How about a macro shot so we can bask in the holo action?
I want to point out that the glitter in the top right corner has an actual RAINBOW. So awesome.
Welcome To The Ball's Formula is so impressive that I really had a hard time believing that this is from a debut collection. I experienced no thickening, clumping glitters, and no no need to shake the hell out of the bottle to blend things up. Application was just as flawless with no dragging, balding, or unruly glitters. Opacity was awesome with full opacity at 2 rather thin coats. Dry time was fairly epic (my nails were dry before I could even reach for my top coat) and wear is incredible. I've actually worn this twice since I managed to somehow delete the first set of photos of this girl, and both time I had zero signs of wear at over 24 hours. WTTB does dry just slightly textured, so I added a coat of Glitter Food to keep things smooth and protect the larger glitters. Between the glitter food and top coat, you would think that the holo effect would be diminished, but that just wasn't the case. This girl has some VERY strong holo - especially in sunlight. Since I swatch at night, and it's been all sorts of overcast and rainy here, I wasn't able to snap any sunlight pics. But if you want to see this beauty's holo effect in sunlight, head on over to Accio Lacquers post here.
I have to admit, Gothic Gala has me excited. Samantha's debut collection is just fabulous and shows incredible potential to keep the unique and gorgeous polishes coming our way. In fact, Welcome To The Ball is the most perfect debut polish I have ever had the pleasure of swatching. You guys really need to snatch it up while it's available (It sells out FAST!)
You can find Welcome To The Ball and Samantha's other fabulous polishes at Gothic Gala Lacquers on Etsy. Full size polish retails for $9.00- $9.50 and Samantha has at least 2 new collections in the works as we speak (I believe her Holo Deck Collection is in pre-order at the moment), and from what I have seen......WOW! You can also follow Gothic Gala on Facebook and Instagram for sneak peeks at upcoming collections, re-stock and sale info, and swatches. This is a brand to watch, loves. I'm not even joking.
So tell me...what do you think of this polish? Are you as floored as I am?
I'll be back tomorrow with this week's Mish Mash Challenge mani as well as some awesomeness from Squishy Face Polish. I also have more from Cinema Swatch Lacquers, Love Angeline, Polish TBH, Polish Addict and Tawdry Terrier coming up (I am gonna be a busy girl over the next week!).
Thanks for stopping by and Happy Polishing!
