I need to step away from Etsy. Thank goodness for shops temporarily closing because my indie polish hole I dug myself would be much much deeper if they weren’t. Even with shops closing there’s always more shops opening *sigh* and I have very little restraint…especially with the ease of pay pal.
My most recent Etsy purchase is from a fairly new shop, Lush Lacquer. I purchased two colors from them, Purple Passion and Cheetahlicious…I’m not even going to tell you how I bought them. Ok…I will, just to admit how bad my purchasing has gotten. I was brushing my teeth in the morning getting ready for work when I was browsing Etsy on my phone…and continued to purchase, even though my 3G kept dropping I was determined to finish my transaction…such a multi tasker I am. No time to waste when buying polish.
Lush Lacquer Cheetahlicious
For my first Lush Lacquer post I have Cheetahlicious. I think it’s a pretty good representation of a cheetah in glitter polish form. Cheetahlicious is a clear based polish that has gold and holo micro glitter, brown, bronze and gold/holo hex glitter. I used Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in 3K or More as a base. I’m not too sure how well Cheetahlicious would layer on its own if you are going for complete coverage. The fomula is a little thick as stated by Lush Lacquer in their description, but I didn’t have a problem with application.
For the following pictures I used two coats of 3K or More since its pretty sheer, one coat of Cheetahlicious, one coat of Gelous and an additional coat of Seche to smooth it out. I’m very happy with the outcome of my first Lush Lacquer and will probably be purchasing more…damn lol.

You can purchase Lush Lacquer through their Etsy shop here. More colors are expected to be added to the shop soon so keep any eye out…I know I will

Just wanted to thank you for posting such a great blog about “Cheetahlicious”! Your pictures are gorgeous…those nails of yours photograph beautifully…especially with Cheetahlicious on…lol We actually wear this color alone (in 2 coats) also and it is beautiful!
We love your story on how you purchased this polish…still laughing….

Glad you like my post! I’m loving my polishes and can’t wait for the new ones
Good luck with your shop, although I don’t think you’ll need it as I’m sure Lush Lacquer will catch on quick!

Haha, it’s really hard to stop once you get started…and have so many conveniences like pay pal and mobile shopping

LOL Such a multi tasker!
I have a love/hate relationship with glitter! I love glitter polishes but I hate the removal so I tend to skip glitter as much as I can because of that!
This is one gorgeous glitter polish!

Oh I haaaate taking it off, but I think I’ve built somewhat of a tolerance to it. Glitter is so fun, but there’s nothing better than a smooth cream though

I love the name of this one. Maybe you’re too young for this, but I immediately thought of Thundercats cause there was a character named Cheetara. lol
