Polished Lifting

Gunpowder Gelatine is a textured polish featuring black and silver glitter in a silver foil base with chunky black and iridescent glitter. This was inspired by the song "Killer Queen". The texture is rather subtle. I would say that the Zoya Pixie and Magical Pixie dusts are much more textured. If you don't like textures all that much, this color is a great option. It can be completely smoothed out with a thicker top coat if desired. The formula was a nice consistency and built up to full coverage with three coats.

Kinda Magical is the 1980's bottled. It's composed of black, yellow, blue, pink, and white glitters of various shapes and sizes. This glitterbomb was inspired by the cover of Queen's "A Kind of Magic" album. The swatches show Kinda Magical over Mr. Farenheit. All fingers show one coat with a second coat on the ring finger. The formula was a nice consistency and didn't require any fishing.

The Flick of the Wrist collection is currently available through Finger Lickin' Lacquer's Etsy store.

The Night Comes Down is a deep blue crelly with silver glitter to resemble stars. This rich blue crelly reaches full coverage with two coats. 

Made in Heaven is a yellow crelly with white and silver glitters. It was inspired by Freddie's iconic yellow jacket worn on the A Kind of Magic tour. The crelly has a slight pearlescence which can cause a little drag if you don't allow it to dry long enough. It wasn't a problem at all, just something worth noting. I was able to reach nearly full coverage with three coats.

Break Free is a black crelly filled with pink squares of various sizes. The inspiration came from Freddie's outfit in the I Want to Break Free music video. I love the contrast in this color! The formula was a nice consistency. I found that three coats provided nice coverage.

Jolly Holly is a deep green jelly with red hexes and white stars. I love this interpretation on holiday decorations! The formula was a nice consistency, but the mini stars can be a little tricky. For the easiest application I did my first coat without trying for stars. After that I flipped the bottle upside down in between coats. You do have to be quick about grabbing the stars before they slide back into the bottle, but it wasn't difficult to work with. I'm actually wearing another mani using Jolly Holly, and I average about five stars or more per nail. The swatches above show three coats.

Poppin' Bottles is a gold micro-glitter bomb. This is named after all of the beverages to be consumed on New Years Eve and ever holiday party leading up to it. The formula was a nice consistency, and provided a decent amount of coverage. The swatches show three coats on all fingers with a fourth coat on the ring finger.

Polar Berry is a berry colored frost polish with linear holographic finish. You can see a subtle holo in my swatches, but it really shines under standard indoor lighting conditions. I love the formula on this one because it reaches full coverage with two coats, and it's streak free.

The Winter Wonder collection is available today in Firecracker Lacquer's store.

Hoarfrost is a white creme with simmering rainbow flakes. Hoarfrost is the coating of ice crystals formed on surfaces when the temperatures drop below freezing. It was absolutely impossible to capture the beautiful flakes in the actual swatches, but I was able to catch them with a bottle close up. The formula was one of the smoothest whites I've ever applied. Like most whites it goes on a little uneven with the first coat, but by the second and third coat it looks wonderful. The swatches above show three coats.

On Thin Ice is an icy blue frost polish with a linear holographic finish. Under daylight bulbs it's nearly impossible to see the beautiful holo finish, but regular household lights (incandescent and compact fluorescent) it really sparkles. The formula is streak free (incredible, right?!) and reaches full coverage with two coats.

Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe is a bright red creme with holographic glitter and bright pink sparks. This color is the perfect red. I can't even stress this enough. It has a unique depth and sparkle that I haven't seen in any other red. The formula was a nice consistency and reached full coverage with two to three coats.

Drop the Ball is a silver micro-glitter bomb. It can be used as a glitter topper, or on its own. My swatches show three coats on all fingers with a fourth coat on the ring finger. The formula was a nice consistency and easy to work with.

Jack Frost is an icy white polish with a hint of blue shimmer and blue flecks. The flecks were incredibly hard to capture due to their shifting nature. The best I can give you is this bottle shot I took.

The formula was a nice consistency and reached full coverage with three coats. Pictures really don't do this justice. It's one of those colors you need to see in person.

Tree Trimmings is a glitter bomb filled with green and red glitters and a handful of silver stars. I swatched this over Jack Frost, because they make such a nice combo. The formula was fluid which made it easy to spread. Swatches show one coat on all fingers with a second coat on the ring finger.

Chrome for the Holidays is a metallic green polish that screams Christmas of the future. This sparkling beauty is scented to smell like Christmas trees. Just three thin coats renders this streak free finish. CFTH is one of the best chromes I've worn in a long time!

Peppermint Cocoa is a warm brown crelly filled with pink shimmer and white glitter. It's designed to mimic the look of a warm mug of peppermint cocoa filled with marshmallows, and is scented to match. The formula build up to nearly full coverage with three coats.

Santa Baby is a pink shimmery crelly with pink flecks and pink glitter. Jennifer (owner & creator of FLL) made sure to note that this was inspired by the Eartha Kitt version of Santa Baby. I love her dearly for making the distinction. My version of Christmas only includes the greats like Burl, Bing and Eartha. 

The formula was excellent, and easy to work with. It's fairly difficult to notice in the photos, but there are super fine pink flakes that take this color to the next level. The swatches show three coats.

Christmas Day Aftermath is a gumdrop scented glitter bomb packed with hexes and shreds of various sizes. The scent was sweet, but not at all overwhelming. The formula was just right so that you got a decent amount of glitter without extra effort. The swatches show one coat over Santa Baby with a second coat on the ring finger. 

Silver Bells is a silver textured polish packed with sparkling silver glitter. The texture is quite subtle, which is what I prefer. The swatches show three coats with no base color. I love that I was able to build this up to full coverage.

The whole Holidaze collection is currently available on Finger Lickin' Lacquer's Etsy store.

The bottles weren't labeled with color names, but all of the formulas were great. I used one coat of the gold glitter over two coats of nude. I also dotted the gold glitter topper over the purple. If you don't have dotting tools, I recommend picking up some. If you are in a pinch you could always use a bobby pin, pencil or toothpick. 

If you had the same set, what would you have done with the colors?
