Black Cat Lacquer Poison Ivy from Llarowe's A Box Indied for May

Hello fellow nailpolish friends! In my post yesterday I had a stunning green glitter on my pinkie - wouldn't you agree that it deserves a full post on its own??? Well here we go: Black Cat Lacquer Poison Ivy was exclusively created for Llarowe's A Box Indied of May and is a green (with its fair share of yellow in it) jelly holding green and gold and yellow small hex glitters.



 In the below two pictures the differences between two coats (index) and three coats (all others) is pretty evident


Wearing Black Cat Lacquer Poison Ivy on longer nails and on its own, I frankly do not think I can get away with two coats of polish. To enhance my point I have applied three coats of Poison Ivy from Pinkie to middle and two coats of it on my index. While the difference is not as visible indoors it is quite apparent in the direct sun and mind you, not to the advantage of the two coats I find. The formula is really really easy to apply. Given the amount of glitter in Poison Ivy the polish appears thin (as in jelly) and thicker (as in cream) at the same time resulting in a perfectly to be controlled glitter bomb to apply. This being said, the thicker character of Poison Ivy (due to the amount of glitter) is boarder line for my taste to be worn at three coats. I was utterly impressed by smoothness of the formula - OMG it was nearly completely smooth even at three coats. My pictures are taken WITHOUT Top Coat - consider me impressed to the max!!!

Final thoughts: I love green nailpolish. But I find it very hard to find greens to my liking available. Many of them have to much yellow in it or too neonesque - I like neon peach, corals and pinks but green and yellow remind me too much of Markers.

I subscribe to Llarowe's A Box Indied - I totally love the concept of a monthly box filled with nail surprises - I kept up with it despite my low-buy mode and have discovered so many beauties through it which I probably never would have ordered  elsewise.

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

    I do like this nail polish even if it has more yellow in it, and (yes I'm weird what can you do) I do prefer the two coats version under the sun. I have come to like that transparency on jelly nail polish more and more, as long as vnl is not too obvious is fine for me!have a nice weekend sweetie, xxx

      Salut ma biche - haha, you are NOT weird, rest assured!!!!! I do have to admit, that I am really liking jellies as well what with all their translucity and vibrancy but with this particular one, I am still for the three coats (yep, I went back to my pictures I took at two coats and thought about it again ;-)) Have a wonderful weekend too my dear xxx
