A Rainy Day Duo: Lumina Lacquer Polishes

I am a little behind (I know this is terribly shocking, right?)- but my second part of my Above the Curve review is set and ready to go for this evening.  But in the meantime, I thought I’d post a quick mani I wore a few days ago.  I’m up late writing this because it’s storming pretty heavily, and these polishes felt appropriate to show off!  I chose to pair up I’m Only Happy When It Rains and Purple Rain- LOVE the result!

Also- Lumina Lacquer is restocking tomorrow at 11:oo am PST (2EST/1CST/12MST)- so maybe this can add something to your wish list!

First up is I’m Only Happy When It Rains, a beautiful light gray with a gorgeous blue-green sparkle.  Sadly, this one isn’t being restocked today and may not return.  (You definitely have to grab Lumina Lacquers you love when you can- there’s never a guarantee they’ll be back!)  This polish began as a custom for a friend, and I’m so glad Tatiana opted to make a larger batch for all of us to enjoy!

I’m Only Happy When It Rains has great coverage- this is 2 coats.  The shimmer is really obvious in person!  It’s such a delicate, pretty gray color- and I’m definitely a sucker for gray polish!

Then I added 1 coat of Purple Rain on top!  Yes, ya’ll- that’s just 1 coat.

This is one tightly packed glitter bomb- which is what Lumina Lacquer does best in my opinion!  You’ll find just about every type of purple glitter in this polish- large, small, shapes, holos, even shards- all in there.  There’s even some beautiful iridescent glitters that peek through in the sun!

I used the dabbing method to apply the glitters- if you’re wondering how to do that, you can follow this link to an amazing video by More Nail Polish showing exactly how!  It’s a great way to apply glitter bombs like this one.

Remember, Lumina Lacquer restocks tomorrow at 11am PST!  You can visit her Big Cartel store to see the polishes being sold- Purple Rain is included, along with a lot of other amazing colors! And be sure to follow on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date on new colors and restocks!
