Literary Lacquers - If It Pleases You

GOOD NEWS! The most gorgeous bruised purple holographic polish has emerged from the dungeon! It's called If It Pleases You and I have only been drooling over it for 10 bajillion years. It's from the Good Parts collection (literary erotica inspired!) and is influenced by the first real erotic literature I read that didn't have a picture of Fabio on the front. BACKSTORY! Anne Rice was one of my FAVORITE authors in high school and during my youthful and formative teen years, I went on vacation with my family. I have this bad habit of rummaging through the bookshelves of wherever I go, and I found a high and semi-hidden shelf. Of course, I promptly found the The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. Which I then read. And was caught. Oops. Anyway, these are also the last pictures of my nails before I had to nubbinize them. And man, are they GORGEOUS. 


Ott-lamp lighting. Two coats. TWO COATS. My eyes, they are overwhelmed with RAAAAAAAAAINBOWS!

Literary Lacquers Woman of Pleasure

This polish was provided to me for the purpose of a review. All of the following opinions are my own and based on my experience with the product.

Spastic book nerds - UNITE! There is an indie polish line for the twitchy, obsessed, bubble-bath readers like us! Literary Lacquers makes polish inspired by BOOKS! Hooray, books! I had been working on an Etsy cart for a while and finally caved to get a few polishes. Amy was so gracious to give me a couple extra to totally spaz out to you over via the internet. Today, I have Woman of Pleasure. This lovely lady raunchy female comes from an erotica collection and was inspired by Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. Thanks Amy! I'm going to add a banned book from 1748 to my late-night readings! The polish itself is a periwinkle/lilac crelly with a smattering of blue and purple glitters of various shades and sizes. There are also some awesome magenta glitters of different sizes and finish! I'm sure you are just squirming relentlessly in your seat to see the pictures!


What you see here is three thin coats, topped by a layer of Seche Vite. The formula was buttery soft and smooth. It almost caressed my nails on the way off the brush. I got fantastic glitter coverage without any clumping too!
