Sue Me Lacquer- Sweet Tarts Collection Review

February 21, 2014

Happy Friday everyone! I am back with some new pretties from Sue Me Lacquer. The Sweet Tarts Collection is inspired by Valentines Day, and includes something for everyone. 

I had some mixed feelings about some of the polishes, so I really encourage you to read the descriptions in addition to skimming the photos. 

Monkey Love

Monkey Love is a sheer yellow crelly with pink glitter hexagons and red hearts. Shown above is two coats with no base coat. Monkey Love was a bit too thick for me. I found that it was difficult to control the placement of the polish and hearts because of how much polish the brush held on to. That being said, I did enjoy the color and the amount of heart glitter included in the mix.

Bloody Valentine

Bloody Valentine is a deep red jelly with red hearts, black hearts and pink glitter. Shown above is two coats with no base color. I found Bloody Valentine to be incredibly thick to the point where I couldn't manipulate the hearts or polish at all. It started to dry before I could even out the polish layer in general. I was also unable to retrieve any black hearts. I'm not sure if it was because of the thickness or if there weren't as many in the mixture. I do like the color, and would like to see more black hearts in the mix.

Ruby Kisses

Ruby Kisses is a gorgeous pink jelly holo. Shown above is two coats with no base color. I absolutely love how squishy this looks in person. It's just the right shade of pink that it's not overwhelming. I think this would look great with white stamping in between the layers. I was really pleased with the consistency and pigmentation of this color.

Forever Alone

Forever Alone is a black crelly with holo micro glitter. Shown above is one coat with no base color. The consistency of Forever Alone is similar to Bloody Valentine in that it is way too thick. I had a really tough time painting my nails with this one. It started to dry while I was trying to even out the first coat. You can see the uneven consistency in the photos despite my attempt to even it out with topcoat. I also noticed that the sparkles weren't noticeable once my nails were painted. I wonder if this had anything to do with the consistency. The polish is gorgeous in the bottle, but it didn't translate well to the nail.

Pink Affair

Pink Affair is a stunning dark purple/black jelly thermal that shifts to bright pink when it warms up. Shown above is two coats with no base color. This drastic shift was stunning! I don't have much to say about this because I feel like the photos really speak for themselves. This was definitely my favorite color in the whole collection!

Conclusion

I liked all of the colors, but some of the formulas were too thick to be workable. I contacted Susan about this, and she said that she is going to reformulate them. My favorites out of the collection were Ruby Kisses and Pink Affair. Both colors were excellent consistency and had rich pigmentation.
