Polish Pickup April 2018 Swatches and Reviews: Scofflaw Varnish Life On Mars?

Scofflaw Varnish Life On Mars? (2 coats)

Hi guys! My allergies have been an absolute nightmare since Monday. I legit had Kleenex hanging from my nostrils at work because my nose was just running constantly. It was not a good sight (or feeling). I'm finally starting to feel like myself again, so I figured it was about time to be a little productive. Remember a couple weeks ago I had all but one of my April Polish Pickup polishes swatched? Well, I finally have the final polish, and boy is it a doozy. 

If you know anything about Scofflaw Varnish, you know that Finch is a huge David Bowie fan. I have her previous color inspired by him, David Bowie's Bulge (which I also recommend). Since April's theme was space, it was fitting she made another polish inspired by him. Life On Mars? is a reddish orange base with strong blue shimmer and flakes with a scattered holo finish. I love the combination of the red/orange and blue! It's so unexpected, but works so well. I used 2 coats for photos above, and it applied easily. It dried with a tiny bit of texture, but nothing a coat of topcoat won't fix. 

From what I can tell, Life On Mars? will be coming back to the Scofflaw Varnish website in July. You see, Polish Pickup is taking the month of July off, and each brand can sell a returning color on their website. So let's hope this one is coming back! Again, you can learn more about the Polish Pickup on their Facebook page and website with flat-rate shipping of just $3. Next month's theme will be video games, so make sure to stop by the Facebook page to get a preview. What will you be buying? 

My Polish Pickup Picks From April 2018: Space

Hi guys! Tonight I'm doing something a little different. I made this little video about my Polish Pickup colors from this month. I don't have any swatches yet, but I went through each color and did a little description and video here. I wasn't planning on putting it on the blog, but I figured there's no reason not to. Oh, and please don't make fun of me for not knowing what scofflaw meant. Make sure to check out the Polish Pickup Pack Facebook Group for more information (May's theme is the 90s and I can't wait!). 

Right on the Nail ~ Scofflaw Nail Varnish Swatches and Review: Maxwell Demon and Wraith Pinned to the Mist

Scofflaw Nail Lacquer Wraith Pinned to the Mist (3 coats)

Hi guys, Happy Monday! I feel like I went a little overboard with buying polishes from Scofflaw Nail Varnish, but there was a sale (the biggest of the year from them, I believe) and I wanted to make shipping costs worth it. At least that's what I tell my wallet and my husband. Tonight I have the final 2 polishes I bought.

First I have a polish full of glitter called Maxwell Demon which is a peachy/pink crelly with purple, blue, and purple hexagonal glitter in different sizes. Is it just me or does this look like a berry patch? It's a busy polish, but in a good way. The creme/jelly base was fairly sheer, so I needed 3 coats for full coverage. Make sure you use thin coats because it can get thick otherwise. The next color is hands-down my favorite of the bunch. I wasn't expecting to love Wraith Pinned to the Mist as much as I did. It's an aqua blue polish with lots of fine purple, green, and blue shimmer and gold flakes. The flakes stand out more than the shimmers, but it just adds to the depth to the color. This was also a bit sheer, but there were no application or formula issues at all. Please get this one, you won't regret it!

Right on the Nail ~ Scofflaw Nail Varnish Swatches and Review: David Bowie's Bulge

Let's go ahead and continue to look at a wonderful indie brand that I 100% support. We can continue to discuss Mentality Nail Polish (and how they decided to put their neon collections on sale for 50% off..despite not continuing to offer refunds or replacements on polishes that may be affected by the bad base...don't get me started) but none of this drama comes with Scofflaw Nail Varnish.

Tonight I have a polish that is an unusual love for me. Great Odin's raven, David Bowie's Bulge is beautiful (I never thought I'd say that sentence)! It's a bright coral color with multiple sizes of teal glitter and a sprinkling of subtle gold shimmer. You guys know that red colors are not a favorite, but the mix of the 2 colors just called to me. I was also impressed with the application and formula because it required no dabbing and you could just use normal strokes with it.

Right on the Nail ~ Scofflaw Nail Varnish Swatches and Review: Flotsam & Jetsam and Love Letter to Bob Ross

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Flotsam & Jetsam (3 coats)

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Love Letter to Bob Ross (2 coats)

Hump Day! This week has been flying by, and that's totally ok with me. Tonight I'm featuring an indie brand that is new to the blog called Scofflaw Nail Varnish. They were an immediate success back in 2013 and are still not the easiest to buy (I bought these this summer and the colors sold out fast). The polishes retail for $9.00.

Up first is Flotsam & Jetsam (I'm in love with the name!) which is a mint green color with turquoise and purple microglitter and flake shards. I think it was the flake shards that really drew me in. It's a busy color, but that just makes me love it even more. I found the base to be a little sheer, but it fully covered in 3 coats. I was expecting it to have a really thick application, but I need to quit going into trying new indie's thinking that way because 99% of the time they are amazing.

The second color is actually part of a duo that sold out within minutes (I was lucky to get one of them) called Love Letter to Bob Ross. If you don't know who Bob Ross was, what rock have you been living under? I was a huge fan of Bob on PBS during the 80s. His voice was just so soothing! And the happy trees! Love Letter to Bob Ross has a lot of subtle things going on with it. It's a really deep blue green teal color with grey flakes and red, pink and blue shimmer. Even though it's really dark, it never appeared black in any light. I think this is the perfect fall or winter color. It had a smooth application and was almost a 1-coater.
