Right on the Nail ~ Reverie Nail Lacquer Swatches and Reviews: Open Water and Rosebud

Reverie Nail Lacquer Open Water (3 coats)

Reverie Nail Lacquer Rosebud (3 coats)

Who's ready for a long weekend? This gal! Things have been pretty crazy at work lately (but when isn't it?) so I'm ready for an extra day off. Be on the lookout this weekend for some great Labor Day sales!

Tonight I have the final 2 colors I bought from Reverie Nail Lacquer. Being a scientist, I've been fortunate enough to visit some awesome places. I just so happened to visit parts of the ocean that aren't often explored (I crossed the equator on at boat!) and got to see some true open water, and it is as brilliant as you'd imagine. The polish Open Water captures this perfectly with this sheer jelly color packed with circular and hexagonal glitter. The hints of red and yellow glitter are great pops of color as well. Being a jelly it is sheer, but the glitter helps cover any visible nail line that remains after 3 coats. I found that this one had the best formula of the 4. 

And finally, we have Rosebud which is so complex. I usually try and take a stab at describing polishes, but I think Reverie said it best by stating that it's a "ruby jelly base loaded with shimmer, flakies, microglitters, and tons of red and pastel mint, pink, orange, and yellow glitters in hex and circle shapes." Whew! Get all that? It's beautiful, but also the biggest pain to apply. I would recommend some polish thinner and extra time between coats. Photo show 3 coats.

I believe their polishes normal cost around $8 and you can find Reverie Nail Lacquer on their Etsy page, Instagram, and Facebook pages.

Right on the Nail ~ Reverie Nail Lacquer Swatches and Reviews: Dog Days and Lily Pads

Reverie Nail Lacquer Dog Days (3 coats)

Review Nail Lacquer Lily Pads (3 coats)

Hello hello! Tonight I have a few swatches from one of my favorite indie brands called Reverie Nail Lacquer. If you are interested in buying any of the ones I'm showing you tonight, rest assured that Reverie is still around and will be back with some fall pretties in a few weeks.

I ended up buying 4 colors from their 4th of July sale and I pretty much love all of them. First I have Dog Days which is pale blue crelly with yellow and blue hexagonal glitters. Reverie is most known for their jellies with intense glitters, so Dog Days is a bit of a rarity. Since there is so much glitter in there, I had a bit of an issue with the application because it was extremely thick. I used some nail polish thinner (bought from Sally's Beauty Supply) and it was as good as new. I used 3 coats, and I would wait an extra couple of minutes between coats to make sure you don't get too much dragging of glitters.

I can only assume that the second color called Lily Pads was inspired by some of Monet's paintings (which are some of my favorites.) It's a blue/green jelly base with tons of hexagonal and circle glitter. Name a color and it's probably in here. The major glitter colors are blue and green with accents of orange, red, white and yellow. It's such a busy polish, but I love it! I can see how it may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I'm totally fine with that. The formula was also thick on this one, but not as much as Dog Days. You may still want to add a couple drops of thinner if the first nail gives you trouble.

I believe their polishes normal cost around $8 and you can find Reverie Nail Lacquer on their Etsy page, Instagram, and Facebook pages.

Right on the Nail ~ Reverie Nail Lacquer Winter 2014 Collection Swatch and Review: Yuletide

Reverie Nail Lacquer Yuletide (3 coats)

Yay, another new indie brand to try! I bought a mystery bag that contained polishes from several indie brands that I've never tried, and I was not disappointed. Up tonight is Reverie Nail Lacquer from Etsy with the polish Yuletide. It's a green jelly base with a ton of rainbow circular and hexagonal glitter. I let my bottle sit upside down for about 20 minutes before I started polishing and I had zero problems with getting glitter out (no fishing). Despite this being called Yuletide, I think this is a polish that could be worn year round due to the non-traditional color glitters in here. I used 3 coats, but the formula never got gloopy or problematic. Reverie polishes go for $8 for a full sized bottle, or $3.50 for a mini which is great. You can find more about them on their Facebook or Instagram pages.
