Jun 13 Rogue Lacquer Sirens of Summer - Swatches & Review

Today I have the flakie-filled Sirens of Summer trio from Rogue Lacquer to share with you all. These mermaid-inspired nail polishes are packed with all sorts of sparkly things!

These debuted at Indie Expo 2018 and are now available on the Rogue Lacquer website for $11 each or 3 for $30.

All photos in this post are taken under artificial light. All are topped with Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcoat. These polishes were provided for my honest review.

Shell Yea

Maker Description: bright coral jelly leaning crelly with gold/pink/green color shifting flakes and aurora shimmer

3 coats + topcoat

Formula: Good formula. Very easy to work with. No need to fish for flakies or glitter.

Notes: This is such a gorgeous, juicy polish! It reminds me of sparkly watermelon and it's perfect for summer. At two coats, it has more of a jelly look, but I preferred it at 3 for more opacity.

Beach I’m a Mermaid

Maker Description: grape purple with green/gold/orange/pink color shifting flakes with red color shifting aurora shimmer

3 coats + topcoat

Formula: Good formula again, but a little thinner than Shell Yea. No issues, just don't overload your brush.

Notes: This is my personal favorite. I thought it would be the coral, but the contrast of shimmer against the vibrant base is just too good.

I Washed Up Like This

Maker Description: bright teal with green/gold/purple color shifting flakes and blue to green shifting aurora sparkle

3 coats + topcoat

Formula: Good formula again, but the thinnest of the three. Easy to work with, but don't overload your brush.

Notes: As you can see, this was the sheerest on me with pretty obvious VNL after three coats. If you don't prefer that look, I think this would look great in one coat over a complimentary green base.

Which mermaid-inspired polish is your favorite? I'm loving Beach I'm a Mermaid, but Shell Yea is a very close second.

I'm not sure how long these will be around, so be sure to grab yours from the Rogue Lacquer website.

Thanks for reading!

Negative space #pridenails using several shades from @orly and stars from @cirquecolors 🌈🌟 #loveislove . . . I took some time off from this account and from nails in general to focus on what feels like a million more important things, but today I took advantage of downtime caused by cancelled plans (thanks a lot, coronavirus 🙄) and sat down to a podcast/nail art session and I gotta say: it felt GREAT. I still find it so relaxing to create these tiny pieces of art. . . . #rainbownails #orly #orlynails #pridenailart #rainbownailart
