Mani Monday: Buillion in a Bottle from NCLA's Black Market Collection

Disclaimer: I am not a nail blogger or professional (so sometimes I color outside of the lines and my cuticles look a bit ragged). I am merely a girl who LOVES nail polish!

I'm so in love with this latest collection from NCLA, Black Market! As soon as I saw it I knew I had to get them all on to my fingers!  Last week I shared Prized Possessions and this week it's Bullion in a Bottle... {Collection sent for review/feature}

Bullion in a Bottle was given this creative description: "There's nothing better than bright, shiny gold, and lots and lots of sparkle." Bullion in a Bottle has a gold metallic base with green, gold, orange, pink and purple glitter pieces. I used two coats {one thin and one thick one to get the glitter placement like I wanted} and was able to achieve full opacity. I actually recommend stopping at two coats {unless you want to do 3 thin coats} because when I tried to do some damage control after I had some chips {due to my SAHM lifestyle, not the formula}, I found that too many coats caused the appearance of the lacquer to change from a liquid gold effect, to more a foil look {which is actually pretty in its own right, but I preferred the liquid metal look}. NCLA is really winning it for me-this is another shade from them that I opted to do a one color mani with {which is typically uncommon for me}. 

All NCLA lacquers are five free: never tested on animals, free of formaldehyde, DBP, Camphor, and Toluene. They retail for $16 a piece and are available at shopncla.com.


This is the third of four shades in the Black Market Collection, so stay tuned for the last one, Cookies and Gold! What are you wearing this Mani Monday? I really want to know! Leave a comment below and let me know what's on your tips! Until next time...
