Firecracker Lacquer Meet Your Maker Review Part 1

June 26, 2014

This one has been a long time in the making. Over the last five months, Kendahl has been mixing and testing polish for the launch of Firecracker Lacquer. After seeing a few sneak peeks over the last few months I could hardly contain my excitement. These colors came from a place of love and were thoughtfully tested by a handful of people before they were released. I hope you all love these as much as I do!

Penguin Parade

Penguin Parade is linear holographic black inspired by Kendahl's favorite animal. The consistency on this was really nice for a jelly. The formula did not clump up at all while I was using it. I was able to achieve full coverage with two coats. The holographic pigment is a bit subtle indoors, but it really shines when you step outside. This is a true black holo, which is incredibly hard to find!

Polishes used: Firecracker Lacquer- Penguin Parade, Revlon- Top Coat

PINK!

Pink is a glitter topper packed with a ton of neon pink glitter, a few white squares and some holo pigment. Pictured above is one coat over grey with two coats on the ring finger. The glitter distributed nicely and did not require any manipulation. As you can see from my accent nail, you can really build up the glitter quickly.

Starry Sky

Starry Sky is a blue cream with turquoise and silver glitter, and some holographic stars. The formula on this was perfect. It's like your typical cream, but it does an excellent job of suspending glitter. I didn't have to fish for stars at all. I know my swatches don't have very many stars, but there were quite a few in the first coat of polish. If you would like more stars on the nail a quick dip of the brush will render at least one star if not a whole cluster.

Your Mom Thought I Was Big Enough

Your Mom Thought I Was Big Enough is an homage to the planet that once was. It's a multi-chrome polish, shifting through blue, purple, red, and orange. It's also a linear holographic with varying sizes of holo bits throughout. The formula is thin enough that it could be used as a topper, but pigmented enough that it could be built up on its own. Pictured above is one coat over a pink nude with three coats (no base color) on the ring finger.

Crawlin' Queen

Crawlin' Queen is a gray cream with pink and teal hexes, and small white squares. The formula on this is a smidge thicker than I expected, but it applies evenly without creating any drag. The consistency might have been due to our 90 degree weather while I was swatching. Pictured above is two coats with no base color.This color looks lovely on its own and paired with PINK! or Frosting.
