Hare Polish - Pegasus

Hare Polish's Pegasus- this is a seriously awesome polish that I received as a Christmas present from a seriously awesome friend (she's currently on vacation, but if she happens to see this, I hope you're having a blast, Bee!). Pegasus features a pastel lilac-pink base with lots of silver glitter in various sizes that actually reads as more white when partially covered by the creamy pastel base. The overall effect is kind of like a jelly sandwich. Like most Hare polishes, the formula is very dense and a little thick, and covered easily in two coats. 

What do you think of Hare Polish Pegasus? Would you be as thrilled as I was to receive this as a Christmas present?

Hare Polish - Midsummer's Midnight

Tonight I've got a gorgeous lacquer from Hare Polish to share with you; this is Midsummer's Midnight, and it's a black jelly polish with lots of purple, green, and blue glitters swimming in it. I especially love the blue squares in this- they're not as numerous as the purple and green glitters, and it adds so much depth. If I recall correctly, this was opaque in two thick coats. 

This was also my first experiences using white glue as a base for a glitter polish; if you haven't heard about this method of glitter removal, read all about it here. I just emptied some white glue into an empty polish bottle, and applied it as a base coat (allowing it to dry completely) before applying my polish. Unfortunately, removal wasn't as slick for me as I'd hoped. It seems to work great for other people, but in my case I really struggled to get the polish off and I think it stripped some of the surface of my nail off with it (I really should have just given up and broken out the remover, but I was stubborn enough to want to finish what I'd started). Oh well, back to the tin foil method for me!

 

Have you tried using white glue as a method for making glitter polish removal easier? What were your experiences?

Hare - King of Carat Flowers

I've got a quick post for you tonight featuring a very pretty polish: Hare Polish's King of Carat Flowers. This is from a recent collection, and consists of a milky white/grey base positively loaded with massive amounts of gold and pale purple glitter in different sizes and shapes. The formula on this was super thick, and challenging to apply. Next time I wear it, I'll probably thin it out with Seche Restore. That said, the end result was quite worth it! This reminds me of granite. Very striking, and I love these colours together!

What do you think of Hare's King of Carat Flowers? I'm curious about the name- does anyone have an idea as to what the reference is here? Let me know in the comments!

Hare - Atolla

I've got another Hare polish to show you tonight- this time it's "Atolla" from a recent Hare collection that is inspired by the world of marine bioluminescence. I find the concept behind this collection riveting- the deep sea is such a relatively unexplored territory, and bioluminescence is just, well... cool! 

Onwards to the pictures; this is Atolla, a juicy raspberry jelly packed with iridescent blue glitter. 

See how deliciously jelly-ish the base is?

Bioluminescence? Check!

And with that, I'll leave you with this video of wacky deep sea creatures that glow. Enjoy! 

Hare - Magic Mist

This is Hare's Magic Mist: a milky purple creme packed with purple, blue, and orange glitter. The formula was a little challenging (very thick/sticky), but the end result is well worth it. A funky, glittery, purple jelly-sandwich effect.

What do you think of Hare's Magic Mist? Do you think it's pretty magical?
