Loaded Lacquer - The Jiggles Collection (5/10)

Ok y'all! So I have FINALLY swatched the 5 Jiggles from Loaded Lacquer that I've had for a while. Things just kept coming up! But no more worries! I've got them right here for you!!! Let's begin, shall we!? Let me first start you off with one of my absolute favorites I have...

Acai Berry
This is the beautiful Acai Berry in 3 coats with NO top coat! These babies are so shiny/glossy on their own! And they are so long lasting!!! Seriously tho...I painted these last Wednesday afternoon (May 14th), snapped, and posted this pic on Thursday (15th), and as of today (May 19th), there are NO chips! NONE! How is that possible!? Especially without top coat!? It's like magic, y'all! But that's just 1 great things about this squishy jelly. It's so..."vampy"! Such a beautiful, deep, dark maroon-y color. Expect to see this as a base for some Buffy the Vampire Slayer nail art soon!

Coconut
Coconut!!! How absolutely stunning, and cleansing is this Jiggle!? This is just a simple, single coat with NO top coat! Look at that shine! I swear there's no top coat! If you don't believe me, go buy you some! I'll be so happy to prove you wrong! Coconut is really easy to build up to opacity. I apply about 3-4 thin coats when I want it to be opaque. This Jiggle is also really fun to make "jelly sammiches" with! This is the only Jiggle I've tried to make a jelly sammich with, and I was in love! I need to start experimenting with my other Jiggles, and glitters to see what I can come up with!

Toasted Marshmallow
I like to describe this Jiggle as "Love in a Bottle"! It is sooo gorgeous! 3 thin coats pictured with NO top coat again! I don't know how the amazing Heather (owner/creator of Loaded Lacquer) managed to make all of these so perfectly! It was so hard for me to get a good picture of all of these simply, because they were TOO glossy! haha. I kept getting a slight reflection of myself on my nails! Crazy!!!

Pomegranate
If this extremely glossy picture of Pomegranate doesn't convince you, then I don't know what would! 3 thin coats with NO top coat! I swear! This wasn't even taken in direct sunlight, because I couldn't capture it! TOO SHINY! How could that EVER be a bad thing!? ;P The only downfall for me with this polish is my VNL (visible nail lines). I've never been a big fan of showing off my VNL, solely for the fact that they're not all the same. Some go straight across, some curve. But with enough build up with this polish, they practically vanished! You just gotta make sure they're super clean! ;) Other than that, this polish is seriously the most perfect, squishy pink I have ever laid eyes on!!! Can you look away? Don't lie to me!

Island Punch
This bright, cheerful blue is called Island Punch! Only 2 coats for this one, and again...NO top coat! It may not be as glossy as the rest of them, but it's still super shiny! I was just able to hide some of it so you could actually see the color, and not be blinded! lol. Again, I absolutely love this squishy blue, but it has the same downfall as Pomegranate for me. VNL. But nothing says you don't have to have an undie for it, or anything. I'm just not a fan of my VNL, but that surely doesn't take away from my love for this gorgeous blue Jiggle!

Overall


I absolutely love The Jiggles! I hope I can get to the other 5 soon! These were my very first jelly polishes ever, and I was a little worried about the application process, since it was so new. But they were all so easy to apply. So easy that majority of my swatches are done on my Cinderella Hand! lol. So worth the buy in my book!

Heather's shop goes offline from time to time, because she's a badass, and gets a lot of orders, and sells out quick! Her online store found here, but it doesn't reopen until tomorrow (May 20th). Be sure to find her on instagram (@loadedlacquer), or on FB (/loadedlacquer) to stay updated on her shop, and polishes!

This Week With Loaded Lacquer


Tomorrow (May 20th) she will be restocking ALL polishes but Tiki Torched (from The Hula Girl Collection).

Tomorrow will be the LAST restock of 5 polishes! Once they're gone, they're gone! So be sure to check out, 40 Below, The Dog Ate My Homework, Cave of Skulls, Innocent Until Proven Guilty, and Foolish Hearts before your chance gets sold to the girl next door!

A custom polish she made for a wonderful nail enthusiast (@thepolishgeek on instagram) named "Loaded Geeks" will be open to the public!!! It is an amazing glitter bomb!!! Seriously...I may have to pick pocket my boyfriends wallet for this polish! hehe.

She's also got an AMAZING summer collection coming out at the end of this week (May 23rd, which happens to be mine, and Corbey's 2 year anniversary)! It's called The Summer Sushi Bar Collection, and let me tell you...IT IS SO STUNNING! You can find swatches/macros/photos when you visit her social networks, so be sure to check them out!!!

Dashing Housewife Polish


This is a white shimmer base with silver, bright pink, and turquoise holo glitters.
This was my first crelly polish ever! I was lucky enough to win it in Cheyenne's (@cdbnails143 on IG) cdbdec contest on instagram! I was amazed when I applied this, because it was different than regular creme polishes that I'm used to. I didn't want to paint over the glitters from my first coat! haha. But it turned out wonderful! This was 3 thin coats plus top coat. Oh, and my 420 friendly accent nail!
 Pictured on Cinderella hand doing the @McPolish Hand Pose:

KBShimmer


KBShimmer: You Autumn Know
This soft white crelly polish is loaded with fuchsia, gold, and orange glitters. Micro bars accent the fall pallet of this polish.
I love this crelly polish! It just looks like Autumn stuffed in a bottle! The colors are so warm, and inviting, I feel like I can smell the fall leaves in the air! This is 3 thin coats with top coat.
A white crelly polish with neon glitters in pink, and green with black shreds, and dots.
Ooo! I feel like a punk rock princess with this fun crelly! It's so beautiful how all the colors compliment each other, and how that pink just pops right out at you! Watch out! Pictured is 3 thin coats plus top coat.

Polish Me Silly


Color Changing Thermal Nail Polish! When your body is warm, it is a golden yellow color, and when your body is cold, it is a beautiful salmon/coral color.
This is my first thermal polish EVER! And let me tell you, I am one HAPPY camper! Hell, I'm ecstatic! This is the coolest thing since sliced bread! Corbey (bf) wouldn't even let me do the dishes, because I kept playing in the water! *splish*splash* hehe. It's really hard for me to pay attention to anything else with Sizzling Summer on my nails! This is 3 thin coats plus top coat.
 Transitioning while I was sitting on a dock:

Loaded Lacquer


I first discovered indie polishes a few months ago from Instagram. Loaded Lacquer was the first indie brand I was ever able to purchase. And let me tell you, Heather (the beautiful mind behind Loaded Lacquer), is absolutely amazing! Her polishes are stunning! I bought 5 bottles my first time visiting her site! I have 6 total Loaded Lacquer lovlies, but hoping to buy more very soon!

All polish names are linked to their corresponding shop, so if you would like to purchase any of the beautiful polishes pictured, just simply click their name!

My first purchase!



Multi sized matte mint hexagons and dots, metallic gunmetal hexagons, holographic gunmetal hexagons in a clear base to make this metal minty beauty!
This is probably my favorite of my collection! The Glitters are beautiful, and go so well with each other, but the name is just epic! This only took 2 good layers on a black base for the accent nail to achieve opacity. Pictured is with top coat. Stunning!
It even made my nubs look good!
Iridescent orange, green, blue, purple, gold and red hexagons, squares and flakies in a clear base.
This is definitely an amazing glitter bomb! It is jam packed with hypnotizing flakies! My favorite look so far is over a black base. But it works will with so many other colors! This is 1 coat with top coat over a black base.
 Beautiful Macro over a black base:
A haunting duo chrome and micro glitter with multi-sized metallic rose hexagons in a black base.
Do I really have to say much about this gorgeous rosy glitter bomb!? It's jaw-dropping! It only took 2 coats with no color base to become opaque. Pictured is also with top coat.
Multiple shades of gold, and copper hexagons as well as iridescent glitter in a clear base.
GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! GORGEOUS! Just lose yourself in the gold, and copper party happening in these swatches! It's even shiny with a matte top coat! Say what!? 3 coats to achieve my extreme opacity on my accent nails over a black base. Pictured with top coat.
 Also extremely gorgeous with Essie's Matte About You:
Light blue dots, iridescent hex and square, matte white hex, transparent white hex and blue holographic micro-glitter in an icy blue sheer base.
Pictured over Essie's Rock the Boat as a base, and a cute Santa's Coat accent nail. I experimented with a few different base colors for 40 Below, because the icy blue sheer base would've taken me quite a few coats to get the look I was going for. Rock the Boat won! This is 2 coats of 40 Below over 2 coats of Essie's Rock the Boat with top coat.
Plum, periwinkle, yellow, marigold, cotton candy pink, purple and white hex and squares and holographic sparkle in a clear base.
This glitter topper just screams Easter to me! It's just so...fluffy! How else could you describe this beautiful, light, pastel perfect glitter!? This is 1 coat plus top coat over OPI - You're Such a Budapest, Essie - Mint Candy Apple, Lime Crime - Parfait Day, China Glaze - Lemon Fizz.
