Alchemy Lacquers Creature Feature Collection LE

Hi ladies (and men!) Have you ever tried Alchemy Lacquers? I was lucky enough to have discovered her early on in my indie polish adventure. She does flakies like no one else, and I truly mean that. She is celebrating 5 years in business this month and is releasing a special 5 year anniversary polish as well as 2 new collections. She does not release very often, so when she does it is a real treat. And as comes with not releasing often she can sometimes spends many months on each collection, to get them exactly right. Not surprisingly she has done it again with the Creature Feature Collection, inspired by some of your favorite old halloween movies.

Alchemy Lacquers Creature Feature Collection LE


Alchemy Lacquers Ardeth
Alchemy Lacquers Ardeth

Ardeth is described as a taupe crème nail lacquer with a pink/green shifting shimmer, scattered holographic flakes with a linear holographic finish. Formula was flawless. It is a nice consistency so you don’t end up with either too much or too little polish on the brush, or flooded cuticles. For my swatches I used 3 thin coats with glossy top coat.
Retail price $10.00

Alchemy Lacquers Griffin
Alchemy Lacquers Griffin

Griffin is described as a translucent turquoise jelly special effects nail lacquer that contains copper/orange/gold/green shimmer. This was actually designed to be a topper, but I didn’t read that until after I swatched it. While it doesn’t reach necessarily reach opacity the copper/orange shimmer is so strong that you barely notice any nail line. I really love it this way, but it would be beautiful layered over your favorite shades. My swatches are 3 thin coats followed by glossy top coat. Shown below with matte top coat.
Retail price $11.50
