impySo my lucky bag came a day earlier than anticipated and while it's still too cold and thus can't open things properly until tomorrow, I did eventually sucumb to the lure and open the package.
I got 7 little bubble wrapped goodies and based on what was inside them, I'd say they listened pretty well to my ever so helpful preference note: please no lavender scents or base coats. Love blues, purples, silver, and most things sparkly.
First thing I opened was a quick dry top coat which I am more excited about than I probably should be. But my prefered top coat is at the gloopy stage and I haven't another on tap so... yes. Happy.
Next up was a little 8ml bottle of Amethyst Rosette, followed by the 8ml bottle of Grape which I can't easily find to link. It's pretty and I dig the blue in it, though it's definitely a purple polish. Follow that up with Silver Tinsel, Specks which seems to be a grape polish with a million flakies, Speckled Lilac, and Lavender Lilies.
One nail polish adjacent item (top coat), one creme, and the rest sparkle in some way, with all of the polishes being purple or silver? Not bad. I'm not a huge flakie bomb person (I blame the Revlon Moon/Solar candy polish duos) but 2020 did teach me that in the right polish I can enjoy flakies.
Clockwise from L: Top Speed Top Coat, Amethyst Rose, Grape, Lavender Lilies, Speckled Lilac, Silver Tinsel, Specks
While this is, alas, a shitty picture, it does show that Grape there has a fair amount of blue and that Tinsel is a holo glitter dream, while also pointing out that Amethyst Rosette isn't slouching in the holo department either.
This is a better color shot of Grape and Specks there at the bottom isn't too far off.
Speckled Lilac is awfully pretty and very Spring.
Overall, I'm pretty happy. I'll let you know how things work out when I actually use them but for now I'm content to call it a win.
