Dreamland Lacquer Sassenach: Swatch and Review

Dreamland Lacquer Sassenach: Swatch and Review

*Purchased by Me*

Happy New Year to you!! It's a time to start anew, and to make the world your own! I, personally, am ready to make the most of everyday, no matter what it takes. Do you have any resolutions? 

Today, I am sharing a color from Dreamland Lacquer that I picked up during their Black Friday sale. Noelie has so many beautiful colors and finishes, and it was difficult to make a decision; so, I picked out three different polishes! The one that I have to share with you today is named Sassenach. 

Sassenach is described on the Dreamland Lacquer website as a dark brown linear holographic. The formula on Sassenach was smooth and buttery, and it applied evenly and dried quickly. I was able to get it opaque in two coats, and the final product did benefit from one layer of glossy top coat. My pictures were taken under an artificial daylight bulb. 

The holo flame on Sassenach is absolutely stunning, and I actually kept this on for about four days, with very minimal chipping when I removed it! 

You can find the listing for Sassenach on Dreamland Lacquer's website right here. The cost is $11.50 for a full-sized, 15 mL bottle. Noelie currently has the shop in Vacation Mode until January 11th, but you are still able to order; it will just be in pre-order status until she returns!

Nail Art Time! featuring Dreamland Lacquer and Born Pretty Store 

*Purchased by Me and Sent by Maker*

Why, hello there! I'm sorry again for being absent lately. The good news is, I'm finished summer classes, and am on a mini break for about a week and a half! Woo-hoo! 

Today, I'm sharing some stamping nail art with you! For the base of this mani, I used Dreamland Lacquer's Coral of the Story II, a Hella Holo Customs polish that was created a couple of months ago. I reviewed the original Coral of the Story here, but some customers had had this polish fade; therefore, Noelie, the maker of Dreamland, was kind enough to reformulate COTS and replace EVERYONE'S bottle, at no cost to the buyer. Isn't that amazing of her? I am forever in awe of how sweet indie makers are! 

Dreamland Lacquer Coral of the Story II

Collection: Hella Holo Customs April 2016 Customs

Color/Finish: Dreamland Lacquer Coral of the Story II is a pink-toned coral linear holographic.

Formula/Application: COTS II had a smooth and even formula, and it was a dream (haha, no pun intended!) to apply. It dried very quickly between coats, about 2 minutes maximum. It dried glossy, but shown is with one layer of glossy top coat.

Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 hearts! This color is so vibrant in person, the holo flame is insane, and the formula was perfect! What more could a polish lover ask for?

Availability: Dreamland Lacquer Coral of the Story II is no longer currently available for direct purchase. 

Stamping Time! 

After my topcoat dried, I decided to add some stamping to Coral of the Story. For this mani, I chose a swirly image from Born Pretty Store's BP-28. For this image, I used white Konad polish and my clear jelly stamper, also from Born Pretty Store. Everything is sealed in with another layer of glossy top coat! 

I'm so excited with how this came out! And, I actually kept this on for 4 days. FOUR DAYS! That's probably a record for me!

Dreamland Lacquer Coral of the Story for Hella Holo Customs April 2016: Swatch and Review

Dreamland Lacquer Coral of the Story 

*Purchased by Me*

Today, I have a group-exclusive polish to share with you! Hella Holo Customs is a group on Facebook that is dedicated to two things: 1) Being pretty freaking amazing, and 2) Bringing you the holo-est holo polish possible! Each month, at least two different makers are featured to create customs for the group. Members are able to submit and vote on inspiration pictures, which eventually turn into beautiful creations by the month's chosen makers. It is an amazing group, and I am so happy to be a member! 

The polish that I have to share with you today was one of the colors created for April 2016. One of the makers for April was Dreamland Lacquer (previously known as Smitten Polish). One of the inspiration pictures chosen was coral, and Noelie (the genius behind Dreamland) created this polish, Coral of the Story:

And before we get too into the polish, can I just show you how adorable this packaging is?? It is so beautiful and classy! 

I also forgot to mention that Hella Holo Customs allows members to submit name ideas as well. I may or may not have had the winning name for this, so you know that I had to pick up a bottle! 

Coral of the Story is a bright, pink-toned coral with a purple flash and an intense linear holo. 

 

 The formula on Coral of the Story was absolute perfection! It wasn't too thick or too thin, and it remained exactly where I put it. Dry time was great, and it dried down glossy. Shown are two coats for my desired level of opacity, plus one layer of glossy top coat.

 

Isn't she gorgeous?? I legitimately could not stop taking pictures of this beauty!

While Coral of the Story is no longer available, there are numerous other polishes available on Dreamland Lacquer's website!
