Manicure March | Cameo Colours Lacquers in Hathor

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Monday! Today I have another indie nail polish to share with you during Manicure March. When I first started blogging I received a lot of indie polishes for review. It was so exciting, and I got to connect with a lot of great polish makers around the country. One of those brands was Cameo Colours Lacquers, a brand that is still making nail polish today! I received The Divine Collection to review, which contained six holographic polishes. These polishes are all so gorgeous, but I have to be honest – I just never wear holo nail polish! Holographic polishes are lusted over in the indie nail polish community, but they’re not my cup of tea. I decided to put the polish Hathor to the test to see how I feel about this holo formula.

Cameo Colours Lacquer in Hathor Cameo Colours Lacquer in HathorHathor is a blue holographic nail polish. The formula is excellent, as it applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats. I’m really impressed with Hathor! It not only looks stunning, but the formula is still amazing after living in my collection for a few years. Even though I think this polish is beautiful, though, I’m not going to keep it in my collection. Realistically, I won’t wear this nail polish. Holo formulas just aren’t my thing! I love looking at them on other people, but I don’t reach for them in my daily life. Thus, there’s no point in holding onto Hathor.

All in all, I’m glad I decided to part with the beautiful polish that is Hathor. I know that the person who ends up with Hathor after me will love it more than I can. It’s also great that I’ve discovered that Cameo Colours Lacquers is such amazing quality and can withstand the test of time. I highly recommend checking out the brand’s website HERE. Please also let me know in the comments if you own any polishes that you think are beautiful, but you just never wear them. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Indie Spotlight: The Divine Collection by Cameo Colours Lacquers

Posted on by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Monday! Today I have a review of the new Divine Collection by the indie brand Cameo Colours Lacquers. This collection features six holographic polishes in the perfect shades for spring. I apologize in advance, for the photos in this post do not capture the holographic effect as well as I would like. Rest assured that in real life the holo truly does shine! Let me show you the polishes from the Divine Collection.

IMG_0946 IMG_0950 IMG_0951First up is Athena, a light purple holo that can be classified as a lilac shade. It is opaque in three coats, as the formula is sheer but easy to work with. I love the more subdued of look of Athena. This polish is so pretty and feminine! I was impressed with how quickly Athena dried.

IMG_0956 IMG_0958 IMG_0959The next Divine polish is Brighid, a pastel yellow holo. It was not quite opaque in two coats, so I added a third to ensure it was full coverage. Brighid has a great formula that is a bit on the sheer side. This polish reminds me a bit of Zoya Piaf, but with more of a holographic look instead of a shimmer. Brighid is so light and dainty! I personally don’t think it goes well with my skin tone, but it sure is pretty.

IMG_0968 IMG_0966 IMG_0969Next up is Hathor, a gorgeous light blue holo. Hathor is opaque in two coats. The formula was a bit patchy with the first layer, but evened right up on the second. Hathor has a very strong holographic effect. I love this one so much! It reminds me of the coveted Color Club Halo Hues. I think Hathor is my favorite from the Divine Collection.

IMG_0975 IMG_0976 IMG_0978Ishtar is the mint green of the Divine Collection! Opaque in three coats, Ishtar has a green formula that is on the sheer side. The holographic effect is very strong with this polish, and is quite stunning. Ishtar is absolutely perfect for spring, and could be work for a Saint Patrick’s Day look for sure!

IMG_0981 IMG_0984 IMG_0987Next up is Pele, a pastel orange holo that I would call a tangerine shade. Pele is opaque in two coats. The color is very subtle, but the holo stands out strong. This is the perfect color for summer, or an alternative to a nude nail polish shade. The pastel look is great for those who don’t like “loud” nails.

IMG_0989 IMG_0991 IMG_0993Last but not least is Venus, a pale pink holo. The formula on this polish was a little patchy, and was opaque in three coats. Venus leans towards a purple shade, and is very feminine. This is a great holographic for an every day look!

All in all, the Divine Collection by Cameo Colours Lacquers provides a great holographic collection with beautiful spring shades! I love the pastel colors that still have a holographic effect. It’s the perfect combination in my book! The Divine Collection is being released on March 15, 2013 on the Cameo Colours Etsy site HERE. Let me know what you think of these polishes!
