What can I say about Vapid Lacquer that hasn't been said a thousand times? This brand has made a name for itself with magical sparkly things...and this is right in line with all my hopes and dreams when I get the box in my mailbox.
(promotional samples ahead)
Unicorn Blood, from the Fantasy Colors collection, is one of my favorite Vapid purples. It is soft and delicate and has a pretty gold pearl...sigh. And when Ms. Krys decided to make it dirty I knew we were in for a treat.
I was right.
This dirty holo isn't as wild and crazy as the others, but I actually find that wholly appropriate. This is a soft, serene color. A SUPEROMGINYOFACE holo would have been wrong on such a color. But the dirtification of this one was just right. It's loud, but refined. In addition to the extra sparkle, the gold pearl is a little quieter now. It really is a whole 'nother shade.
The formula is pretty and easy, and two coats will give you a nice opaque finish. I used two coats plus a layer of Seche Vite here, and I was completely happy with the outcome.
Because I am not ready for the neighbors to know exactly how crazy I really am, here she is with the flash.
I was trying to catch the morning sun to compare the two bottles, and I decided to try making a quick little gif. This is just the Dirty Holo on my fingers, slightly out of focus to show that brilliance.

This shade is sold out, but it might come back some day. Your best bet is to join the fan group to read all the latest and greatest Vapid news!
