Lilypad Lacquer Velveteen swatches
Lilypad Lacquer Velveteen is a dusty rose mauve leaning holo – unfortunately not a good match with my skin color or taste in general. The holo is strong in the sun, flat in outdoor shade and slightly visible in other light settings, where is looks like kind of a shimmer. This is 2 coats without a top coat.
What do you think of Velveteen? I bought it from Norway Nails, use the code MARIA10 to get a 10% discount.
Uhm... it's definitely somehow different and it looks great in a huge macro. But I think it wouldn't match my complexion either. All in all I appreciate how different it is.
It is beautiful and from photos I'd say that it suit you well, but I know of your dislike for dusty shades so i understand how this one might not be your favourite polish :D It is a bit serious, a grown up shade, but very interesting because of the holo effect. I have no doubt it will serve as a nice canvas for your lovely nail art.
LOL - you know me so well - and yes, I think you are right about the grown-up thing. The problem is that a polish has to speak to me to make me paint nail art - so no nail art on this one :)
I'm actually not that keen on it :-O I think it might be the colour :-| sorry. The holo effect looks amazing in the 4th photo in the bottle, but that doesn't seem to translate to the nails.

SvarSletI think this shade is a bit tricky to pull of many kinds of complexions...
SletIt's really nice to look at and I'm sure, it still looks much better on your nails than on mine.
SvarSletKind regards,

LOL thanks a lot - but I didn't feel comfortable wearing it!
SletI think it looks good with your skin tone (:
SvarSletI'm glad you think so - but uh, aehm, no - it didn't feel right :)

SvarSletWell, then we feel the same way :)
SletI like it! And I agree with Vedrana, it will surely be a nice base for your nail art :-)
SvarSletYes, you wear this type of color so well!
SletSuch a beautiful colour :)
SvarSletI'm glad you like it!
SletHmmm I'm not quite sure about this one either. You did take some good photos of it though :)
SvarSletI LOVE the shade! :) It's so peculiar and unique ^^ I'm sad you didn't like it with your skin tone :(
SvarSletPeqculiar is a good description - one of the polishes you either love or hate!
