Hiya guys! I hope everyone had an awesome week as we head into the weekend. Things really flew by this week for me and I feel so unprepared, haha. I'm looking forward to some polish playtime, which is not something I would ever enjoy doing again. I'm trying to not get overly zealous with my plans and instead take time to bask in what I'm doing. And I feel I can really do that with it comes to swatching, especially when the polish is utterly breathtaking. Say hello to My Lavendear by Great Lakes Lacquer. This gorgeous shade is the monthly exclusive for January and it's really here to knock our socks off. Let's go ahead and jump right into the swatches!

My Lavendear can be described as a pale lavender filled with an orange to gold to green shifting iridescent flake with a soft scattered holographic. The shade was created based on a request for a pastel lavender to match Bubblegum (FTLOP Box) and Curse You, Perry The Platypus. Let me tell you how absolutely floored I am by how much I love this polish on me. Like that is such a rare thing when it comes to lavenders against my skin complexion. Usually I'd feel like the color brings out to much warmth and makes me feel like a lobster. Not here, not today! This is giving my skin such a beautiful glow that you can't even tell I've been stuck indoors for months, haha. That said though, the color to flakie combination in this is just *chef kiss*. It really gives off that vibe of like an enclosed crystal. The pops of orange to gold shifts create such a mesmerizing sparkle. Aces all around on this and as a limited edition shade I have to say it's a must buy.

The formula has a sheer application with a very good buildup for complete coverage. It has a very well-balanced consistency, not too thick or too thin. Each and every brush stroke is jam-packed with flakies. There was no clumping throughout the layering process and it felt like the flakies were evenly coating the nail. It dries down to a minimal gritty finish that smooth out perfectly after top coat. Shown here is two to three coats and sealed off with a glossy top coat.
