Hiya guys! Oh what's this? The rare weekend post makes an appearance because the week was jam-packed with Polish Pickup. It's like a combination of not wanting to post twice in a day and also not wanting to overwhelm you. Is that weird? Haha, I feel like the answer to that is always yes when it comes to me. Anyway the weeks seem to be flying by and we are one month away from Polish Con. Oh my gosh, I had a flare of butterflies in my tummy even writing that. Moving on before I freak out, haha. For today I'm sharing swatches for Week 8 of the Road to Polish Con series, which features Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish and Great Lakes Lacquer. Both of these shades are bringing some strong floral spring vibes and I am loving it. Let's go ahead and get to the swatches!

Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish - Cupid is a Knavish Lad
The formula has a very sheer application that builds-up well for full coverage. I was pleasantly surprised by that actually considering how sheer it felt on the initial coat. Consistency wise it leans a little on the thick side for my personal preference. I ended up adding a few drops of thinner and it helped with a lot the layering. Smooth sailing after that! It dries down pretty smooth and to a high-shine finish on its own. Shown in three coats and sealed with a glossy topcoat.

Great Lakes Lacquer - WTF Puck
WTF Puck can be described as a grass green jelly with shifting green to gold to blue shimmer, iridescent flake that goes from orange to gold to green and finished with a slight scattered holo. There is so much going on with this gorgeous finish, my goodness! I barely know what to focus on, I don't know how my camera didn't lose it's mind haha. And it's another shade that I normally wouldn't stand, but here it is rocking my socks off. I love the color shifting flakes against the finish, it feels like forward against grass. Spring perfection! The color even manages to look great against my skin tone, which is not an easy feat for greens.
The formula has a sheer application as expected for a jelly finish. It does however build up extremely well for complete coverage. The consistency is well balanced, not too thick or too thin. It's so seamless that it makes the layering that much easier. Plenty of flakes per brush stroke, but they don't clump on the nail whatsoever. It dries down to a minimal gritty finish that smooths out perfectly after topcoat. Shown here in three coats and sealed with a glossy topcoat.
