Black Cat Lacquer - Tetris and Let Them Eat Cake

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:



I'm a big fan of choosing fitting lacquers for correspondingly appropriate occasions- in this case, I wore Let Them Eat Cake to see the movie "Farewell, My Queen" (a movie about Marie Antionette and the days leading up to the French Revolution, as told through the eyes of a servant). Here is the trailer if you're interested- it was quite good!


What do you think of these two glitters? Have you seen the movie "Farewell, My Queen"?

Recently the lovely ladies at Varnished Valkyrie asked me to do a guest post on their totally awesome blog while they're away. Naturally, I was extremely flattered to be asked, and came up with this idea for my first ever ombre manicure!
