NARS Madness Nail Polish for Summer 2013 Swatches and Review!

Good morning my fellow lacquered lovers!  Happy Tuesday to you all!  I hope you are all having a lovely week so far.  It's absolutely gorgeous weather in NYC right now so what better way to enjoy the lovely weather than with the first Summer 2013 nail polish of the year to show you!  NARS is releasing a gorgeous 1970's inspired collection this summer and the nail polish is simply stunning.  I was sent this nail polish to test out by NARS PR and it's really beautiful.  Now, without further ado, on to the polish!

Above:  3 thin coats of NARS Madness

Madness is a gorgeous vibrant bright orange jelly nail polish.  NARS describes it as being an electric orange and that's pretty spot on.  My nails literally look like they are glowing!  Since this has a jelly finish, I did three thin coats to get full opacity and it still has that thick, squishy like appearance that jellies have.

All in all, this is a beautiful summer polish!  It's insanely bright without being a neon and the translucent jelly finish just gives it a lot more depth.  The formula was a bit thick which is usual for a jelly and why the three thin coats seemed to work best.  NARS Madness will be released on April 15th for $19.00.

What did you think of this polish? Must have? Any dupes?

Lacquered Lover at Cosmoprof Day 1 featuring Orly and China Glaze!

Good morning my fellow lacquered love!  Happy Monday!  I'm checking in today from Sin City as I'm at Cosmoprof in Las Vegas!

I honestly had no idea what to expect walking into a beauty trade show but I'm having an amazing time checking out all sorts of brands, meeting awesome people and especially my fellow bloggers!  I just want to post a few teaser pictures for you this morning but keep checking into my Twitter and Instagram all day today and tomorrow (find me @lacqueredlover) for real time updates!  Now, without further ado, on to the polish!

Orly Electronica Collection featuring 4 gorgeous colors including a duochrome!  Gorgeous!

The new Orly Glam FX Collection!  The glitters are amazing and some of the names are great!  My personal favorite is Cupcakes and Unicorns!

Orly Feel the Vibe neon collection that came out this summer!  It's so bright and fun!

Orly now has magnetic nail polish including three different magnet designs!

Orly Spellbound Collection for Halloween 2012!  This is great because all of the glitters will be a part of the Glam FX Collection!  My personal favorite is Monster Mash, an amazing bright green glitter with tiny holo glitters!

Orly Fired Up is the Holiday 2012 Collection featuring a number of stunning golds, reds and a rust shade that is so stunning in person!  I will definitely be picking up some of these!

China Glaze Bohemian Collection is 6 gorgeous duochromes that will be released August 1st!  I can't wait to try them because they are seriously gorgeous!

China Glaze Wicked Collection is their Halloween Collection this year.  The three on the left all have gorgeous hidden shimmers to them and the one all the way on the right is just like Luxe and Lush but with glitter instead of flakes!  They will all release a 4 pack including Ghoulish Glow, the glow in the dark top coat!

China Glazes collection to support Breast Cancer this year includes an array of pinks including a glitter!

The China Glaze Magnetix 2 Collection is being released soon and has 6 rich jewel tones that have a higher iron content than Magnetix 1 to make them easier to use!  Also the top magnet is the new one and I can't wait to try the bullseye one!

China Glaze Avant Garden is the Spring 2013 Collection!  It is comprised of both a pastel set and a brighter set all of gorgeous Spring cremes!  I love that there are a lot of blues, purples and even a green to this collection!  This will launch around March 2013.

Last but most certainly not least is the AMAZING China Glaze Hologlam Collection.  Yes, China Glaze is doing holographic polish again and they are incredible!  Gorgeous linear holos!  I will definitely be needing all of these, they are absolutely stunning but be prepared for a bit of a price increase for these!


And here are just some fun pictures!
