R&R Lacquers Assemble Collection - MkII and Romanov

I've a couple of lovely polishes from R&R Laquers I've been wearing this week - I saw a notification that Rachel and Rebecca are about to release an Assemble part II collection, and I realised I've not worn all the first Assemble collection. Oops. And I feel especially bad about this because when I bought Smash (which is one of my favourite polishes this year - a fabulous green with flakies and magenta glitter) the girls sent me samples of the other polishes in the collection. I wore one of the glitters, Steve, as part of the nail art design in this post.

This one is Romanov - a gorgeous black jelly with small holographic copper glitter. China Glaze Fortune Teller has always been a favourite of mine, but I'm afraid Romanov completely blows it out of the water! This is two coats of Romanov with a coat of black (American Apparel Hassid) as a base and Seche Vite to smooth the whole lot out.  I've included some fuzzy shots so you can see the colours reflecting in the glitter...

The last polish in this collection is called MkII. It's a combination of red and yellow-gold dots and hexes in a clear base; some of the red dots are holographic.

I layered MkII over Rescue Beauty Lounge Footpath, which is a fab mustard shade, worth a swatch on its own. This is just one coat, no topcoat. ONE coat. For a yellow - that's awesome. And I love the colour. I know these sorts of colours aren't to everyone's taste, but I love them.

And a few more with MkII over the top... so you can see the colour shifts in the holo glitters. This is one coat of R&R Lacquers MkII, a coat of Sinful Over The Top to smooth the glitter out and Seche Vite to give a shine and dry it quickly... because a) I love the high shine finish of SV b) I'm impatient and want my nails dry NOW and c) I'm a creature of habit and I always finish every mani with Seche Vite!

The R&R polishes I used in this post were samples but you can buy them at the R&R Lacquers Etsy Shop. I bought RBL Footpath direct from Rescue Beauty Lounge earlier this year (I took advantage of their free international shipping month!)
