Tonight I've got a couple Black Cat Lacquers to show you! First up is Tetris, an assortment of multicoloured square glitters in a clear base; I can see gold, red, blue, green, and purple in this. All in all it's a fun polish, and the metallic squares really stand out. Really cute! I layered this over a deep grey- I think it might have been Nubar Palisade.
I also have Let Them Eat Cake to show you; this is a delicate mixture of pastel glitters and tiny white glitters. I chose to layer it over Lime Crime's Milky Ways from the Lime Crime Desserts d'Antionette collection- a very fitting combination! Below you can see it at one coat- I like how it looks here, just delicately speckled.
At three coats:
Let Them Eat Cake is a hilarious name - and a beautiful polish. So Is Tetris, and see where the name come from :)
ReplyDeleteThink of how fun it would be to have a nail polish in which the glitter resembled each block in Tetris! If only that kind of glitter existed. :D A fun concept either way, though.
DeleteThese indies are really pretty! I must check that brand out, never heard of it :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lucy! I'm glad you like them. :D
DeleteLove Tetris! And I have to check out that movie! I love period films like that as much as I like my vampy colours!
ReplyDeleteI think this one is pretty well done- sometimes they can get a little corny, but this feels pretty authentic. Highly recommend!
DeleteI have not seen Farewell My Queen. I have seen Coppola's Marie Antoinette like 10 times! I went to Basilica St. Denis, where is buried, along with several other French royals, it was a humbling experience. Her son's heart is there too, in a glass urn. The DNA was verified in 2004... Anyways, fascinating part of history from almost any perspective.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely fascinating history- I actually haven't seen Coppola's Marie Antionette, but think I'll have to check it out. I did really like seeing the story told from a servant's perspective, though! Not the typical approach to take, but it was really effective and engaging.
DeleteHmmm, I'm not too keen on the lesbian tones of Farewell my queen. Nothing against lesbians, I just wonder if that is true. (There were all kinds of ugly rumors about the queen, like incest.) I know she was best friends with Duchesse de Polignac.
DeleteI do think they played up the lesbian themes for the sake of the trailer. I didn't find it to be too much of a focal point in the actual movie. Or at least, other more persuasive plot lines captured my attention.
DeleteI love tetris!

I think that one is my favourite, too! Thanks!
DeleteThe film sounds really interested, nice swatches! I love that combo with Let Them Eat Cake! Reminds me of jelly beans lol. I just bought some of BCL's new Holiday collection stuff, I love how fast Sabrina is with shipping! I always get a notification within the hour of my purchase.
ReplyDeleteOhh, I'll have to check out the holiday collection! What ones did you order?
