Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer - My Indecisive Valentine

Press Sample


     My Indecisive Valentine collection from Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer was created to embrace both the sentimental and independent sides of Valentine's day. Julie, the creator, didn't want to leave anyone out of the fun of this new collection and tried (and I'd say very much succeeded) to make sure it wasn't overly lovey dovey. 

     As I was swatching these bad boys, I kept ooh-ing and ahh-ing over each one. Picking a favorite was really hard. Julie made this one a tough one and turned me into a very indecisive valentine. Check out the full review and a bonus polish under the cut!

     BEGL holos have an amazing formula. This one applied smoothly and dried quickly. I've talked about "thin and brittle" holos before like the Color Club Halo Hues. This wasn't like that at all. It has a nice thickness to it and doesn't look flat at all. I used one swipe of topcoat to really bring out the beauty of it.

    The pink to gold shift is subtle, but noticeable in this polish. You can see the pink shift towards my cuticle in this shot. I really love this one; I don't have any orchid holos in my collection. Well, until now!

blue to purple to pink micro flakies

     This jelly is perfection! Two easy coats with no pooling or dragging. An average dry time, but nothing a quick dry top coat can't speed up. I used one coat of topcoat for this one.











Fire in Your Eyes

     Amazing! This might be a red jelly, but the micro flakies give it a deep magenta look. The flakies shift from blue to purple to pink. They're so mesmerizing. As soon as I was done swatching, I put this baby on. I wore this yesterday and got so many compliments. 













Sordid End

Sordid End

      A perfect formula that led to perfect application. I used two easy, creamy coats and one coat of topcoat to achieve this look.

     The shimmer in this is so intense! It glows like crazy in real life. This is one of my favorites in the collection!













Newly Impassioned Soul

hot pink jelly
iridescent green flakies
satiny finish

     I used three thin coats to achieve full opacity. It applied nicely and smoothly. I didn't care for the natural satiny finish so I used one coat of topcoat to shine it up.

     This picture is more color accurate. The hot pink was freaking out my camera in the other two pictures. I love this, though! The flakies make it really different and adds to the glow of it. 






Flash Forward Fantasy

nude
violet micro flakies
strong pink to gold shifting shimmer
satiny matte finish
















Flash Forward Fantasy

three coats
no topcoat













Flash Forward Fantasy

     I used three thin coats to achieve full opacity. Like most matte finishes, it dries quickly. 

      This has a great warmth with the gold shimmer. The violet flakies give it a great depth.

       Topcoat intensifies the shimmer so much. I love a good nude that works with my pink undertones. This one's great because it didn't give me lobster hands.











Idealist Future

clear base
tiny gold hexes
red holo diamonds
red squares
red, light pink, and lilac hexes
tiny red sparkles
light pink hearts
iridescent dots











Idealist Future

Idealistic Future

     I found the dabbing method gave the best glitter payoff and placement with this polish. This is chock full of different glitters and I wanted to make sure I got a little of everything. One coat of topcoat smoothed it over nicely. 













Idealistic Future

one regular coat over Sordid End
one coat Rica Glossy Glam













Idealistic Future

     I applied this like a normal polish and still had a great glitter payoff; I just didn't get any of the hearts this way. Do you see the iridescent dot near the watermark? That was a pleasant surprise! I really like the look of this over the blue.

Love Makes You Do the Wacky is not part of the My Indecisive Valentine collection, but will be making it's final appearance in this restock before heading to retirement.

Love Makes You Do the Wacky

     Julie needs an award for making awesome holos. This applied nicely and didn't give me any problems. It dried quickly and I used just one swipe of topcoat to finish it off. 










Love Makes You Do the Wacky

     How gorgeous is this? Don't quote me on this, but I've heard this might be a dupe, or fairly close almost dupe, to a polish from a hard to get brand that starts with En and ends in Chanted. Regardless, it's beautiful and has a great pink flash in different lights. 







The full My Indecisive Valentin collection (this does not include Love Makes You Do the Wacky) will be available for $62 USD which includes priority shipping within the US. 
Individual polishes will be available for $10 USD, except for the glitter topper which will be $8 USD, plus shipping.
Love Makes You Do the Wacky is making it's last appearance during this restock. Once it's gone, it's gone forever and will be in retirement. 
There will be a full restock at the Big Cartel Shop will be 2.2.14 at 3 pm EST!
