Back in 2016, commenting pods became popular among bloggers. I decided to start one on Facebook with 20 members. We were mostly nail bloggers but also had some make up and even lifestyle bloggers. Over the years, people have come and gone but it's been a good way to (a) have engagement and (b) for me to read about what other bloggers are doing, wearing, and discovering. I know that TikTok is the hot thing and Instagram has taken over for a lot of the OGs in the field but when I want to find what a polish really looks like, I turn to Google and I get... blogs.
Today's purchase, You Sleigh Me by Rogue Lacquer was because I saw it on The Polished Hippy's blog. This is a "Christmas tree green with red metallic flakes" and I fell in love. I've never seen a polish like this before.
I started with Morgan Taylor react MAX Optical Brightener, 2 coats of polish and finished with cuccio High Gloss Top Coat. Because of the flakes, give it a little extra dry time between coats. I pulled up a couple of nails the first time but it smoothed itself out. I could have probably done 3 coats but it was late and I was trying to get to bed, so I only went with 2.
When I wear this again, I'm going to go with 3 coats. I think the third would have really deepened the color but I'm super impressed. I have other Rogue Lacquers in my Helmer but realized this is the first time I've worn one! I purchased this for $10.50 with standard shipping and it was during the USPS crisis so it took longer than normal to arrive.
