Pure Nail Lacquer Swatches and Review

Tonight's swatches aren't from a collection, but they're from a new brand I hadn't heard of before this review.

This brand is called Pure Nail Lacquer. According to the site, it's designed to encourage and uplift women. It's 3-free and meant to coordinate with how women are feeling from day to day. Most polishes are $5 each, while others are $8.

I have some problems with the formulas and applications, but I really like the colors. The nail art is inspired by my favorite, Lucid.

The first color is Virtuous. This is a soft pink, very sheer shade. I used 4 coats, and as you can see, it's still super sheer. I don't mind it though. It's gorgeous! Application was a little bit of a pain though, and took too long to dry for my taste, so layers were a little sticky and pulled on each other.

Next up is Sunlight. I'm not sure it matches with their naming convention, but it's a great neon yellow. So neon! It doesn't need underwear either. However, it does call for 4 coats and doesn't even out very well.

Classy AnnMarie is an unexpected shade I wound up liking. It's the jelliest of jellies, and requires upwards of 5 coats. That aside, it really struck me with its iridescent glitter. So once it builds up, it's such a rich hot pink jelly. This is one that costs $8.

Another jelly, Lucid, is a royal polish. The 4 coat jelly starts off really ugly. It had the hardest time leveling off and applied unevenly for the first 2 coats. Then it all seemed to come together, and look what it produced. I liked it so much I needed to have it be a star in the nail art.

The last color for this review set is a clay putty grey called Innocence. This only needed 2-3 coats. I say 3 because it had some problems like the others applying smoothly.

You can purchase Pure Nail Lacquer from their shop for $5-$8 per bottle. I want to thank Ryan from 3rd Lounge for hooking this up for me!
