New-To-Me-Indie Review - Lacquerhead Polish - Lexis & My Secret Crush

Hey peeps. How ya doin'? I've been great, thanks for asking ;) No seriously, I've been kinda on a roll. I don't want to jinx myself but I've won several giveaways recently, and one of those was the Fan Appreciation Giveaway from Lacquerhead polish. Score! I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with indies if you can tell. Check out mah stuffs...
Adorable aren't they?! The bright pink envelope they came in is super cute too, aww there was even pink peanuts in there! Anywho, my prizes: Lexis is a killer black holo, My Secret Crush is an adorable white crelly, and the cuticle oil is something that may have come from gods. I chose Orange Blossom and I don't regret the decision. I shall tell you more about the cuticle oil a bit later, for now let's have a look see at that sweet crelly...
LOVE!!! If you're wondering what's up with the macros lately, here it is...Hubs got me this camera a couple months ago and I just recently discovered the macro settings on it. Derp! Anywho, glad I figured it out. That's an awesome shot of My Secret Crush. Now let's check it out swatched, shall we?
There's 3 coats over 2 coats OPI Ridge Filler, and a coat of OTD. It built up well over my tinted base. The formula was easy to work with, minimum to no fishing for the purple hearts and larger blue hexes. Dry time seems decent. Awesome sauce. All of the glitter in My Secret Crush is matte and I really dig it. Here's a close up just 'cause I can...
Sweet right? Pink squares, various sized hex glitter in blue, purple, green, yellow, orange, and red. Oh, lets not forget the purple hearts. Love those things! Now lets move on to the black holo, Lexis...
I love the way the spectra flair looks in the macro. It kinda reminds me of space. This being my first black holo, I am amazed by it's brightness. It's so pretty! Check out Lexis swatched...
 I love love love it. Did I mention it's my only black holo? That rocks my socks! Now let's get up close and personal with Lexis...
Now I MUST show you another shot. I used a flash and the high contrast setting on my camera (that part was accidental but it looks cool anyway)...
So there you have the awesomeness that is Lexis. Another great formula, I used 3 thin coats over 2 coats OPI Ridge Filler, no top coat with those swatches. Dry time is excellente, which is mucho appreciated. And, duh - I love anything containing spectra flair. All that being said let's move on to the cuticle oil. Check it out...
Umm, yeah...I decided to brush up on my photoshopping skills a bit. Anywho the ingredients are awesome, and the scent is light, sweet, and fruity. Seriously, Orange Blossom smells like fruit Loops, I love it. I really dig the roller applicator. The formula seems to work pretty well too. It absorbs quickly & conditions ah-mazingly, and like I said before....that smell, oooh yum! Ok, so my opinions on the Lacquerhead Polish products I've reviewed today...LOVE! I will definitely be purchasing some other LP pretties soon. If you don't already, I would suggest liking Lacquerhead Polish on Facebook here to stay utd on shop news, giveaways, etc. You can go buy your own Lacquerhead Polish pretties at their shop on Etsy here. Now you tell me...which is your fave? How many pretties have you ordered from LP? Got any lemmings? Leave me some comment love, or don't. That's cool too. Till next time folks...
