Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Claw Polish

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  I totally had this post ready for Wednesday and it disappeared on me!  So lets try this again. Today I have 6 Claw Polishes to show you from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab!  This is an indie brand that's well known for their intoxicating perfumes and ethereal gothic aesthetic.  They were one of the first indie perfume brands I purchased from.

These polishes are some BPAL's most famous scents reincarnated in polish form.  They are currently being sold at the Black Phoenix Trading Post and retail for $9.75 each.  Be sure to check out Ida Nails It and Lavish Layerings for swatches of polishes not included in this post!

Firecracker Lacquer Everyone I Love is Dead Collection (partial)

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Hope you've been having a great week. It's almost Friday! Today I have a few of Firecracker Lacquer's Everyone I Love is Dead Collection.  Can you guess what popular tv/book series this was inspired by?

First up is Water Black as Night.  It's a bright almost neon green with lots of green shimmer and some holo glitters.  It also glows green in the dark.  This one is on the sheer side, but does build up and has a nice application.  It dries gritty and needs an extra layer or 2 of topcoat if you want more of a smooth surface.  This is 3 coats.

Can Your Sword Cut Cold is another one that glows in the dark, but this one glows blue.  In the light it's a sheer milky blue with blue shimmer and blue holo hex glitter.  I'm thinking it would be nice layered over a baby blue creme.  Although sheer, it has a nice application.  This is 3 coats.

How to Kill a Mountain is a pale buttercup yellow/off white creme with red hex glitter.  I'd love to have the base on it's own because I'm a sucker for colors like this.  The first coat is streaky, but it builds nicely.  This is 3 coats.

The last one that I have is A Marriage Marred by Murder.  This one is a red jelly black and silver glitter and green shards.  The green shards end up looking black in the red base though.  Application was nice, but I got the occasional shard that just didn't want to lay still.  This is 3 coats.

I have to say my favorite of these four is A Marriage Marred by Murder.  Can't wait to see swatches of the rest of the collection.  There are 7 in total.  The Everyone I Love is Dead Collection will be available April 2nd 6pm MST at https://www.etsy.com/shop/FirecrackerLacquer.  For more info be sure to check them out here:
