Lollipop Posse Lacquer I Hope You're Up, Girl

The next polish from the Kiki Vol. 2 collection released this month by Lollipop Posse Lacquer is I Hope You're Up Girl, described as "a matte berry shade that is filled with blue shifting shimmer and pink to blue shifting micro flakies." The color is a medium-dark variation of magenta along the lines of telemagenta or smitten from the Resene Color List, a rich, feminine hue that takes a slightly muted quality with the velvety matte finish. It reminds me of sueded silk. The shimmers and microflakes give the plush finish a gorgeous blue glow along the axis of light.

Application was a delight. The consistency of I Hope You're Up Girl is fluid, smooth and dense with a medium viscosity and a silky, even slip over the nail that sets up quickly but is very easy to work with even so. Self-leveling properties are fantastic for a matte polish and handled my ridges with aplomb. Pigmentation is excellent, delivering evenly opaque coverage on the first coat that deepens to full bottle color with the second. Cleanup is easy. I Hope You're Up Girl dries naturally in very good time to a smooth, matte finish.

You guys know how I feel about red-violet and darker magenta shades, so the fact that I love this will surprise no one. Really, it is just so complimentary and beautiful on the nail, and the velvety matte/satin suede finish with its soft blue glow adds a certain mysterious, almost elusive quality to it, as though it would slip away from you if you tried too hard to grasp its true nature. Very romantic and feminine.

love,
