Rica Leopard Spot Glitter Polishes Swatches

Today I have three new glitter toppers from Rica Polish. All three feature the new leopard spot glitters that are popping up in polishes. Post is pic heavy! 

L - R: LF Neon Leopard, The Cat's Meow, Purrfectly Kissed

Quick rundown for you. All of these required the leopard spots to be fished out. These have what I call a "slippery" base. Meaning the glitter slides off the brush as you take it out of the bottle. All are finished with a coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food and a top coat.

Purrfectly Kissed features a pastel pink leopard glitter with various pastel glitters and micro blue glitter. Layered over Barielly Money Talks. This is two coats of the smaller glitters and placing of the leopard spots. The fishing was fairly easy with this one.

LF Neon Leopard ( Lisa Frank inspired ) Features white leopard with various bright and black glitter in micro and small sizes. One coat layered over Illamasqua Grab. This had the best coverage of the bunch. One leopard came out of the bottle on its own. The rest were placed but the easiest to fish.

The Cat's Meow is a silver holographic leopard with silver, blue, and purple holo glitters. This was the sparsest coverage of the three.  At times I would only have one glitter on the brush. This also required a lot of effort to get the leopard spots out of the bottle. This is layered over Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan. I really loved the combo of these two together.

Although these don't have the greatest application, I do like the way they look. Tons of layering options with these too. What do you think? Worth the effort? These polishes are available from Rica's Etsy Shop.
Thanks for sticking through the whole post.

Vapid by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics

Hi everyone. Are you all sick of green polish yet?

Today I have Vapid from OCC. It's a lovely pale lavender creme. The first coat was streaky, but the second covered completely. It didn't quite self level, but top coat did take care of that! I did have a few stray bristles on the brush that had to be trimmed. I don't know why, but this always drives me crazy. The other thing to note about colour is that it does wash out a bit in direct sunlight. I don't know if that is an issue for you or not, but I thought I would mention it.

This is the only polish I have from this brand, so I truly have no standards for it. I liked it. It isn't anything unique, but had a nice formula. I can see me wearing this again. The biggest downfall is that I can only buy it online from Sephora. It isn't carried in any local store.
Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you back soon :)
