Literary Lacquers A Court of Feels and Sparkle Collection

Happy Hump Day friends! I hope you’re having a good week and rocking some awesome nail polish. My nails have been naked lately. Aside from a good bit of swatching I’ve been giving my nails a break from wearing a gel overlay and babying them with lots of cuticle oil. I love wearing a gel overlay, but it also feels so good to just let my nails breathe. Ha I know nails don’t  need to breathe, but it’s such an ingrained belief somehow. The collection I want to show you today is from Literary Lacquers, a new to my blog brand but definitely not a new brand. I purchased my first LL polish back in 2014, More like Fire than Light, which to this day is my number one favorite orange holo. Now let’s take a look at A Court of Feels and Sparkle.


Literary Lacquers is back with a collection of 7 new polishes (plus a special limited edition gift with purchase polish) inspired by the Sarah J. Maas series A Court of Thorns and Roses. This collection will take you on a journey through the 7 courts of the High Fae of Prythian. 


Literary Lacquers Cursebreaker

Cursebreaker is described as a bright white gold metallic with a subtle green iridescence. Easy to use formula. Swatches show 3 thin coats followed by glossy top coat.

From the Maker:
The mysterious Day Court is home to Helion Spell-Cleaver, his power of Cursebreaking is vital to something I can’t tell you about because it’s a spoiler. These are hard to write, y’all, just read the books, they’re good.
