OPIcon polish: Lincoln Park After Brunch

Image
 Hey everyone! Today, I am showing you a swatch of one polish I purchased from the OPI Spring 2026 collection: OPIcons. The collection is inspired by the iconic shades loved by customers.  I chose to purchase Lincoln Park After Brunch. This is inspired by Lincoln Park After Dark. This is described as a shimmery blackberry purple. This was opaque in 2-3 coats for me. The formula is good and easy. Wear two base coat layers because I might stain your nails. I like it. The purple is not as dark as Lincoln Park After Dark, but still deep enough to love. Did you pick up any of the new shades? 

Holo Taco: Love at first swipe- swatch + review

 Hey everyone! Today, I am showing you two polishes that I purchased from Holo Taco's new collection for Valentine's Day. The collection is called Love at first swipe. They consist of 5 magnetic polishes and 1 topper. They also introduced their horseshoe magnet called Super Magnet. I already own a horsehow magnet from ILNP so I used that for the photos. I apologize for not being able to capture the magnetic effect well. I am still trying to figure out how to take better photos for different finishes. First is Pretty Privilege. This is described as a baby pink base with an icy pale pink magnetic pull and scattered holo. I used three coats because of the magnetic feature.

The other polish I purchased is called Flirt Alert. This is described as a raspberry pink base with a light pink magnetic pull and scattered holo. As I ...

Lights Lacquer Core Collection

Lights Lacquer's first collection of 2026 is their Core Collection. This is meant to be colors that they feel you need. The collection consists of 5 new shades and 7 returning bestsellers. I purchased 8 shades, one of them being a backup, and another I thought I had before, but turned out I didn't. The last two are shades I already had (along with the backup bottle of a color). Please excuse my cuticles. I was having an allergic reaction to dish soap. Let's start with the new shades. This is Daisy Dukes. This is described as a bright cornflower blue. This is beautifully opaque in two coats. You can probably get away with one if you have short nails. Next is Is Butter A Carb? This is described as a pastel butter yellow. It is opaque in two coats. You can get away with one on short nails but yellows usually need two coats.  Next is Cry Baby. It is described as a pastel baby blue. Two coats is all that is needed to be fully opaque.  Next is Strawberry Boba. This is described a...
