Takko Lacquer Jimi's Jacket

With a snap of a finger I turned into a Takko-maniac. Takko offers such a unique range of shimmer polishes which still is quite rare in the by now densely populated Indie Brand nailpolish world (but other brands catch up - luckily).

Being a total blueholic Takko Lacquer Jimi's Jacket ranged on the top of my wishlist (you recognized the past tense I assume ;-))

The first picture shows exactly how Jimi's Jacket looks most of the time in daylight:


... and here Jimi's Jacket in artificial light:


... and the best for the last: outside you see how the green shimmer particles come alive


I applied three thin coats of Takko Lacquer Jimi's Jacket over Essence XXL Nail Thickener. I finished the look with A England The Shield Top Coat. The formula is sheer but not thin. You will experience no issues with building it up to an opaque finish with three coats.

Final thoughts Takko Lacquer Jimi's Jacket is a very unique polish - trust me, I just returned from an excavation in my polish vaults and could not turn up an even slightly remote similar polish. Jimi's Jacket glows with an incredible density of blue - amazing!!!

I ordered Takko Lacquer Jimi's Jacket with Mei Mei's Signatures.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

    1. Hi Becca, this is the special thing about this polish saturated but with the juicy-ness of a jelly!! I experienced no staining though I only wore it for the swatches - maybe if worn longer it might though - will update this post once I tested it :-)
