Takko Lacquer Winter 2014 Release Part One

 Hey y'all! How was your weekend? Mine was made exceptionally better after swatching the new Takko Lacquer beauties for the upcoming Winter release! If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw a couple of sneak peeks at some of the polishes to be released at the end of the week.

Takko Lacquer Fullmetal, Wynwood Walls and Surrealistic

Takko Lacquer Fullmetal

Fullmetal is a buildable black, gunmetal and silver flakie polish. It can be worn over a base color, but I chose to swatch it alone in order to show the opacity. It is way shiny! Also (nerd moment for me) if you remember from the last release, there was Alchemist and now we have the other half from the Anime - Fullmetal Alchemist! Teehee!!! I swear I flailed and giggled like any proper nerd when I got the bottle. Side note: Fullmetal Alchemist is one of the best anime series to watch. 

This is three coats and the application was perfect. No dragging, or anything. Formula was flawless, but this is Takko Lacquer I'm talking about- there is a reason it is highly covet-able and formula is one reason. It was absolutely impossible to catch with my camera, but in certain lighting, there are these tiny little flashes of pink and blue sparkle that really make this beautiful! It also dries smooth to the touch, but I still recommend a shiny topcoat to bring out the complexity of this beauty!

Takko Lacquer Wynwood Walls

Wynwood Walls is a buildable multichrome flakie with holo shimmer. Again, it can be worn over a base, but I swatched it alone. This is along the lines of the other multichrome flakies that many Indies have been releasing, but this is oh so much better. It has a lovely holo shimmer that just puts it over the top! It shifts from gold to red, purple and blue with hints of green at certain angles. I just can't even handle how stunning these are! Again formula and application was perfect. This is three easy coats with top coat to amp up the "whoa."

Takko Lacquer Surrealistic

Surrealistic is a buildable multichrome flakie with holo shimmer. Again, it can be worn over a base, but I swatched it alone. It flashes from a vibrant emerald green to gold, red and fuchsia with hints of purple. Gah! This is everything I love about polish. Like Wynwood Walls, Surrealistic is probably the best thing to ever be put on my little nails! Formula and application were identical to Wynwood Walls.

Have I given you all heart palpitations yet? Aren't these just amazing? Sheryl is so incredible talented and I swear I don't know how she keeps coming up with better and better colors. Some people are just born with glitter in their veins and she is definitely one of them!

The launch takes place Thursday, December 11th at 8pm EST. I have one more post with the rest of the colors before then, so stay tuned and keep an eye on IG!
