I have some beautiful holos to share with you tonight from Hong Kong based indie brand Too Fancy Lacquer.  Their new Winter Sonata collection contains six holo polishes, and I have four of them to show you tonight.  

All my photos of these are taken in full natural sunlight and show the polishes with no top coat.  They were all fast drying and high shine on their own.

Chocolate Gold is a golden brown linear holo.  The opacity on this one is superb, it's nearly a one coater and I bet it would be fantastic for stamping too. This is such a gorgeous shade of light coffee brown, with a metallic golden sheen.  This is two coats on it's own.  Expect to see a bit more of this polish on my blog!

Holly - a pinky red linear holo.  Indoors this looks more red, but in the direct sun it brings out the pink tones a bit stronger.  There is also a strong metallic sheen to this that reflects the light and shows off the holo fire perfectly.  This is two coats on it's own.

Midnight Sonata - a dusty cornflower blue linear holo.  It really reminds me of 2NITE from the China Glaze OMG collection, which is probably my favourite polish from that collection.  If I did a side by side comparison it's probably not the same, but I love the dusty purplely blue vibe that this one gives me. It's one of those shades that sometimes it looks more purple and other times it looks more blue.  I can't wait to try stamping with this one.  This is two coats on it's own.

Mistletoe - a medium green linear holo. It reminds me of Nubar Reclaim, but this is a shade or two lighter. Another gorgeous polish from this collection. This is two coats on it's own.

These polishes form such a cohesive and matching combo for a collection. The other two polishes in the collection are Silent Night, which is a Charcoal grey holo and Champagne Cocktail, a champagne gold holo with a pink flash.  I think I'm gonna have to get that gold holo, cause everyone knows I certainly don't have enough gold polishes!

I love that all these are nearly one coaters (although I did two coats for all these swatches).  I also love that whilst they are very opaque, that doesn't take away from the holo flame.  

These polishes are just about to be restocked and will be available from the Too Fancy Lacquer online store.  They are just awaiting the delivery of some more bottles and they anticipate the restock happening on Monday.  If you want to know the details you should check the Too Fancy Lacquer facebook page.

Tonight I have some nail art and swatches of some lovely polishes from new to me Indie Brand Too Fancy Lacquer, based in Hong Kong.  All the polishes are beautiful holos and if you love blue polishes, then you are going to love this collection.

First up is my nail art, and I'm quite enjoying challenging myself in creating nail art with polishes that have been provided for review.  I used a base of Too Fancy Lacquer - Set Fire to the Rain and then placed a frame of gold hex glitter around the nail.  I used a Chanel water decal from the Born Pretty store on my ring fingers.  Sammy the Nailasaurus did a very similar design using round glitters and black polish during the 31 day challenge.

Now onto the swatches of these gorgeous lacquers.  First up is a collection of three blue holographics in the Bluemuda Trio.

Set Fire to the Rain is a sapphire blue linear holographic. The holo flame is more obvious in real life, my camera did dull it out a bit (in fact my camera tends to do that with most blue holos).

Bejeweled - bright turquoise blue linear holo.  Again, way more holo that my photos show. 

Moody Blue is a dusty denim blue linear holo. Do I need to say that this is more holo in real life again?  Nope, I didn't think so (but too late, I already did).

Tell me a sea-cret is a sea foam green linear holographic. This one isn't part of the Bluemuda trio, but Carmen tells me it's one of  her most popular shades, and I can total see why.  It's that perfect turquoise shade with slightly gold sheen. As well as the holo sparkle that you just can't see in my sun photos! 

You should check the swatch photos on the Too Fancy Lacquer website, because they capture the holo much better then I have managed to do today.

The formula on all these was perfect.  I did two coats of all the blue shades and three coats of Tell me a sea-cret. The blue polishes are all so beautifully pigmented, but still with the jelly-ish base that allows the holo sparkles to shine through.

Too Fancy Lacquers are available from their website and they do offer international shipping.
