Of Life and Lacquer

Yay it’s raining today! I absolutely love this kind of weather, but hate driving in it. I guess it was my lucky day because I didn’t have to work today. I did however totally forget about the street sweeper this morning so I had to run out half asleep to move my car before I got a ticket. Last night, Lesley tweeted me about a polish we had both picked up when we went to PM (Polish Mecca), and I immediately wanted to go swatch it because she said it was amazing. It was 11:00 and I was already in bed, so I decided that I’d rather sleep than swatch a polish. Well, I woke up thinking about that polish (why must I be so obsessive?) so despite my gimpy broken nail, I decided to once again do a three finger swatch for today’s post. So what is this mystery polish, you ask? It is Dare To Wear Ready For My Close-Up.

I had to share that clip. Beejus she was good in that movie.

Dare To Wear Ready For My Close-Up is a gorgeous combination of a blurple jelly-esque base full of blue and magenta glitter as well as holographic goodness which unfortunately wasn’t captured in my pictures. Since it was raining, I didn’t have any sun out to take some decent sunlight pictures but trust me: this baby sparkles. The effect of this polish is breathtaking when you see it in natural light. The formula feels a little thin but it builds up nicely. You can get away with two coats, but I applied three because I had a few bald spots. I applied 2 coats of Seche because it sucks up top coat–not terribly, but it does.

Breathtaking, isn’t it? I bought another polish from this brand that reminds me a bit of Chanel Taboo. Well, I wouldn’t call them dupes at all, but they have a similar feel and look. I can’t wait to try it out. I’ve purchased Dare To Wear polishes in the past, but I don’t think any of them were as interesting as this one. They are definitely on my radar now. GREAT! Another brand to obsess over. Let me know what you think about this polish. Have you tried this brand before?

Talk to you later!
