Happy Hour at the Bar by Top Shelf Lacquer | Indie Polish Review
**this product is a press sample and was sent to me to swatch and give my honest review**
Today I have the upcoming collection from Top Shelf Lacquer to share with you! It’s a gorgeous 11-piece collection called “Happy Hour at the Bar”, and contains various finishes and colors. The launch date for this collection is January 27th at 8pm EST, and they will be available in Amy’s shop.
FYI: this is a picture-heavy post since this collection contains 11 polishes! =D
First up is [gin and bear it!]; full coverage pink and gold micro glitter with a sprinkling of holo. I used 3 coats to achieve full coverage in my swatch. This is the daintiest out of the bunch, but also quite a classy polish.
Next up is [everything happens for a riesling]; a full coverage lavender micro glitter with plenty of holo bling. I’m pretty sure there’s some teal in there too! I used 2 coats for opacity. Another glittery beauty!
Here we have [because no great story ever started with salad]; a full coverage teal micro glitter with lots of holo bling. I LOVE this one! Teal is one of my favorite colors lately, and this one is so sparkly and WOW! I used 3 coats for even coverage (that was due to user error).
And the last of the micro glitters is [let’s get ready to stumble]; a magenta full coverage micro glitter with sparks of holo. I used 2 coats for opacity.
Next up is [save water, drink wine]; a deep rich currant wine creme base with red shimmer and a slight touch of holo. This one ended up being a surprise favorite out of the entire bunch for me. There’s just something special about it! Like it glows from within! I used two coats for my swatch.
Next is [i have mixed drinks about feelings]; an indigo base with a strong peach shimmer shift and some added ultra chrome chameleon flakes and a touch of scattered holo. I used 2 coats for my swatch. I was concerned that the flakes wouldn’t sit well on my nail and would clump up, but they didn’t cause any problems at all. And such a beautiful color!!
Here is my other choice for favorite in this collection! [trust me, you can dance~vodka]; a multi-chrome that shifts between cobalt, purple, and teal with an added touch of linear holo. I had a hard time capturing the purple shift, but it is SO gorgeous!!!!!! Two coats for my swatch!
Here we have [sippity doo dah, sippity yay]; a deep wine multi-chrome that shifts from orange/bronze to red/purple with added linear holo. Two coats for my swatch. Another gorgeous shifty beauty! (the shift was a little harder to capture on this one, but it was there!)
[i drink and i know things]; an eggplant base with multi-chrome flakes, scattered holo and a touch of red shimmer. Another pretty one with the flakes! Two coats for my swatch.
[it’s happy hour, drink until he’s cute!]; a multi-chrome that shifts from blue to purple to pink/gold and has ultra chrome chameleon flakes and a touch of scattered holo. I used two coats for my swatch. I was able to capture some of the shift in this one; another beauty!
And lastly [beauty is in the eye of the beer holder]; a deep fuchsia base with a bright pink shimmer, a touch of holo, and a sprinkling of blue glass fleck. The blue glass fleck makes this one glow! It’s stunning! I used two coats for my swatch.
What do you think? Do any of them stand out to you as must-haves? Once again, these will launch on January 27th at 8P EST in Amy’s shop.
