Loaded Lacquer Mintallica

Hey all!

So this is my first blogpost and I know it's probably going to be rough but hopefully you'll be able to enjoy it and gradually as I continue to blog you'll be able to see improvements. I would also really appreciate any constructive criticism, so feel free to leave it in the comments below. And now on to the polish!!

So today I'm going to be talking about Loaded Lacquer's Mintallica nail polish. Mintallica is a beautiful glitter polish. Heather describes it as a clear base filled with multi-sized matte mint hexagon and dot glitter, metallic gunmental hexies, and holographic gunmental hexies.

pure holo goodness.
I found it really difficult to capture the true beauty of this polish in pictures especially in the bottle. The holo glitters outshine the quieter matte mint which in my opinion is what really makes this a unique polish. In order to better show case this polish, I swatched it over Sally Hansen Insta-dry in Silver Sweep, Sinful Colors in Snow Me White, and NYC Black Lace Creme. Below each picture it will tell you whether I used Orly's Matte Topcoat or Sally Hansen's Nailshine Miracle. Enjoy!

All swatches are over two layers of base polish, ONE, yep you read that right, one layer of Mintallica, and one layer of the desired topcoat. The application of this polish was seriously so beautiful. The formulation of the polish was amazing it went right on. There was no need to place or dig for the larger glitters. So, so beautiful and honestly it doesn't matter whether it's matte or shiny because it is a gorgeous polish and I know I'll definitely get a lot of use out of it.

Although Mintallica is currently sold out at Loaded Lacquer, I believe it is going to be restocked within the next two weeks, and when it is I definitely recommend getting your paws on one (or four). 

Don't forget to follow Loaded Lacquer on Instagram and Facebook for restock updates and upcoming collections (I see Jellies in the near future!).
