That Gal Jenna

Annnnnd I'm back with Part 2 of this oh so fabulous collection!

 

In case you missed it - click here - to see all the shiny in Part 1 of the Summer Down the Shore Collection from Philly Loves Lacquer.

 

Have you guys found a favorite yet? Or are you waiting until you see the rest??

 

Okay okay let's get to it.

 

On the Way to Cape May

(a bright strawberry colored jelly with red and silver shimmer)

 

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

Coats -

Three coats. A thinner formula as it's a jelly but there was no issue with bringing this baby to opacity. No issues with formula or staining (as reds can easily do) overall fab formula.

Color Intensity -

THIS IS SO PRETTY! That shimmers in this polish are easy to see indoors and outdoors. They give the polish such an extra pop of sass! I love that it's not a red red...it leans pink which makes the polish so much more fun!

 Under the Boardwalk

(a medium to dark gray crème with a very pronounced purple shimmer)

 

 

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

Coats -

Two thicker than normal coats. No issues with formula or application.

Color Intensity -

THIS is such a unique color. It really is a dark gray as the description but that amazing purple shimmer throughout really gives this polish something special. It darkens it even more and the shimmer is so so pretty. I also love that Esther (the maker of PhLL) didn't just make the obvious summer colors but also included colors like this baby! Because I wear darker colors all year round! Especially when purple is involved!

Love Those Wildwood Days

(a creamy sky blue scattered holographic)

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

 

Coats -

Two thin coats. A third coat would've completely gotten rid of any patchiness you may see in the photos.

Color Intensity -

Oh it's so darn pretty. That holo is perfection. It doesn't go overboard and completely overwhelm this magical blue color. This is possibly my favorite out of the four polishes from Part 2!

Meet Me at Morey's

(a clear-based glitter topper with a mix of 100 different glitter colors and shapes)

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

 

      

 

Coats -

Two coats. No issue with glitter distribution. No fishing for larger or "abnormal" shaped glitters. Those stars are on my nails all on their own! The clear base wasn't excessive which made application easy.

Color Intensity -

This topper is so fun!!! There are shimmery bits, starts, large circles, tons of colors and shapes. SO FUN!

Hey guys!

 

I'm sure everyone is busy in their own way on this Memorial Day but if you're like me...you're also online checking your favorite blogs and perusing the internet at some point in the day!

 

I wanted to make sure to have a fabulous post to share with you today when you hop online to make the rounds!

 

Philly Loves Lacquer is ringing in the summer season with a beautiful new collection!

 

The Summer Down the Shore Collection launches SOON...June 1st to be exact so get these babies on your radar...I can't believe June is almost here!

 

The collection consists of -

 

3 scattered holos

1 linear holo

1 glitter crelly

1 shimmer crème

1 jelly shimmer

1 glitter topper

 

Ooooh such a mixed bag. Love the variety of finishes so much!

 

I have four to share with you today and the remaining four to share tomorrow.

You know I'm a "photo heavy" blogger so I wanted to make sure to break this down into two posts so you can really get a good look!

 

Let's go!

 

Wildwoods by the Sea

(a dark seafoam scattered holo)

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

IT'S SO LOVELY!!

 

Coats -

Two generous coats. One good thick coat would bring this to opacity. No issues with formula or application.

Color Intensity -

Oh it's divine. So so beautiful. I didn't have any specific order of swatching these but it just so turns out my favorite out of the collection was first! This is such a perfect color for the summer season. It's a really unique shade too. LOVE!

 Island Beach

(a sand colored scattered holo)

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

Coats -

Three thin coats. This is a thinner formula so multiple coats will be needed but will vary depending on the thickness of your coats.

Color Intensity -

This is such a perfect beach day color. You know you want to have something that'll catch the sun and shine but you don't want to have a mani that if chipped during all the activity and rough sand and have it be incredibly obvious that you're missing some polish...this is the winner. Luckily PhLL has a fab formula so it's unlikely it'll chip anyway! The scattered holo finish is perfect for this beautiful and subtle sandy color.

Watch the Tram Car, Please

(a bright yellow glitter crellywith a mix of matte blue and neon blue glitters in varying shapes and sizes)

 

 

Indirect sunlight

 

 

Coats -

Four thin coats. This polish has a thinner formula, which is good considering all the goodies within it, better thin than unworkable and thick! That means if you don't want a VNL (visible nail line) you're going to need to layer up or use a base color but it's up to you. I rather like this on it's own. Even with 4 or 5 thin coats there is no issue with it being too thick and ALL the glitters...even those little stars...were easy to manage and get out of the bottle!

Color Intensity -

Oh yeah. It's intense. In SUCH a fun and whimsical way. This baby will make a statement. I love the blue glitters in the multiple shapes and sizes. It's an unexpected color combo and I love how sassy it is!

Absecon

(a very light blue linear holo)

 

 

Direct partly cloudy sunlight

 

 

 

 

Coats -

Two thin coats. No issue with formula or application. A dreamy application.

Color Intensity -

Such a dainty and feminine blue. A blue like the sky on a perfect summer day. I love that this has a gray lean to it because it really gives so warmth to the blue. As you can see in the photos it can lean more blue and then have a more prominent gray lean to it depending on the lighting. Really a beautiful color for the changing seasons.
