Luscious Potion Glatiate & Diamond Rain

**press sample**

Good morning friends! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I had to go to court Wednesday for my wreck/ticket. Easy peasy, over and done. $95 later I hope that we can move on to normal life now. :) 

Today I have two more polishes from Luscious Potion to share with you. 

First up is Glaciate.





Glaciate is an aqua blue scattered holo. 

This polish is really pretty on. My bottle was a bit on the thick side, I think maybe I got a thick batch. The application on this one was tricky, but once I got it on it was really lovely. My pointer finger had some bubbling, but I think that was due to the thickness. For this mani I used 3 thin coats and added one coat of Seche Vite. 

Next up is Diamond Rain.




Diamond Rain is a jelly base with white square and hex glitters. 

For this mani I started with 2 coats of OPI Keeping Suzi At Bay and topped it with 2 coats of Diamond Rain. I sealed it in with 1 coat of Seche Vite. The formula on this was really nice; the jelly flowed smoothly and I had to do very little placement. I did do some fishing and placement of squares, but only because I wanted to not because I had to. 

Overall I really liked my polishes from Luscious Potion. A couple of them had thicker formula than I like to use, but the polishes were lovely and it all worked out in the end. 

Luscious Potion can be purchased online in Susan's store here. 

Be sure to follow Luscious Potion on Instagram for updates! 

I hope you enjoyed these polishes! I'll talk to you soon!

Luscious Potion Purity Lake & Fading Cherry Blossom

**press sample*

Hello everyone! So today I have an evening post for you! I planned to get this queued up for this morning... but last night my body decided that bedtime was a better idea than blogging. :) 

So tonight I have a couple of polishes from a new to me brand, Luscious Potion. These are also my first thermal polishes! So forgive the fact that my nails are wet in all of these pictures... although I kinda dig the wet nail macros... not gonna lie. 

Up first is Purity Lake.

Purity Lake is a holo blue thermal that transitions from light blue when warm to dark blue when cold. 

For this mani I applied 3 thin coats of Purity Lake and topped it with 1 coat of Seche Vite. The application on this polish was a bit thick, but it went on pretty well. It's my first thermal but I think the transition is really good. It's very subtle, but sometimes that's a good thing. Plus, it's blue. Who doesn't love blue? 

Next up is Fading Cherry Blossom.

Fading Cherry Blossom is a holo thermal that goes from silver when warm to a lovely pink when cold. 

For this mani I used 3 thin coats of Fading Cherry Blossom and 1 coat of Seche Vite. The formula on this one was like Purity Lake, a bit thick but workable. Topcoat smoothed it out nicely and the transition was good. I love the contrast in this polish, there's a very noticeable difference between warm and cold. I won't tell you how long I sat in my kitchen dipping my finger tips in cold and warm water. :) 

Luscious Potion is available on their website here. 

So what do you think of these polishes? How do you feel about thermals? I know that they have a shelf life, but I do enjoy it. I think I'll have to try a few more. 

I hope you all had a great Monday! And have an even better Monday Night!
