Joy Lacquer Boylesque

Boylesque is described as a soft khaki green with warm brown undertones and it applies like a dream. It’s both masculine and feminine at the same time, with a light green shimmer and flawlessly smooth finish. The formula was a little thicker on this one so needed a gentler hand to self level. This is 2 coats with glossy top coat.

Glitter Lips is described as a bright candy apple nail color with shades of scarlet, maroon, crimson and vermilion red microglitter.

It’s everything you’d imagine when envisioning the dimensionally deep sky and tiny far-off galaxies. This applied beautifully in 2 easy coats. Sealed with glossy top coat.

Inspiration: Burlesque being a slightly subversive form of entertainment, frequently shows were speak easy style and later in the evening. This polish is a salute to the midnight hour.

Hottie McNaughty is described as a fire-y tangerine crelly-like base. It’s scattered with orange and contrasting purple iridescent glitter ranging from medium to large sizes. The more subtle elements include blue, orange and gold microglitter shimmers, giving this crelly a fantastically cheerful finish. Formula was a little thick but not hard to work with. I applied 2 coats plus glossy top coat.

Inspiration: A local Seattle performer, Hottie has been described as the love child of Bugs Bunny and Carol Burnett. Hottie was known for using humor and ‘giving good face’ in her performances and performing to odd and unique music. One of her signature stage colors being orange, the polish was made to represent her.

Joy Lacquer Burly-Q

Burly-Q is described as a stunning jungle-green base and contains scattered multi-sized opalescent glitter in shades of blues and lime greens. There is a multitude of green/blue and turquoise holographic microglitter. It’s also lightly sprinkled with subtle pink/purple sparks, giving the jelly polish an astonishing depth. This is more sheer than the rest. I applied 3 thin coats and still have a visible nail line. Keep in mind though that my free edge is very opaque so you might be fine with 2-3 coats. Sealed with glossy top coat.

Retail $12.50

Inspiration: A nickname many performers use for burlesque.

Joy Lacquer Lost a Pastie!

Lost a Pastie! is described as a marvelous interpretation of nude encrusted with Swarovoski crystal.

The nude polish base contains a light blue flash that subtly complements the abundant glitter effects. Applied in 3 thin coats with glossy top coat. Formula is a little thicker due to all the glitter.

Joy Lacquer Neo-Burlesque

Neo-Burlesque, inspired by the Pantone Color of the Year, is described as an ultra-violet purple base and packed with gold/copper chrome micro-flecks. Scattered throughout is an ultra-fine holographic dust and electric blue flecks. The finish is smooth as butter and in the direct sun, you’ll see a beautiful linear holographic effect. One of the real standouts of this collection. Formula is buttery smooth and perfect in 2 coats. Dries to a semi matte finish. Topped with glossy top coat.
