If I have learned anything in the past 24 hours, it’s been that I don’t have enough patience or time for Enchanted Polish restocks. I’m dying for Congratulations, but I keep missing it! I hit refresh on Llarowe, there’s nothing. Go to the kitchen, quickly get food for my internet camp out, and I find out when I come back that I’ve missed it again. This can’t be good for me. Anyway! I’m here today to do two things: 1) I’ve decided that I’m going to use this primarily for nail polish purposes, because the polish market can tolerate one more blog, right? 2) To review Lilypad Lacquer’s Chocollo and Bondi’s Fool’s.

I have been intrigued by a few brown holographics I have seen online, and had been planning on buying Chocollo as soon as I was able to get a big order shipped from Australia, but as luck would have it, a very kind person stateside was willing to sell me her extra! This is my first Lilypad Lacquer, and I’ve spent a long time lusting over Nicole’s beautiful creations. As I was sitting down to do my manicure, I thought that Bondi’s Fool’s would be a great complimentary color for the accent nail, and from what I’ve seen it hasn’t been getting whole lot of love. I believe they are discontinuing the color, and it’s on sale on Bondi’s website right now, so you should grab it quick if you like it!

Chocollo is listed as a “rich chocolate brown holographic nail lacquer,” and I’d say that’s a very accurate description. I was happy to find the flat brush when I opened up the bottle, though I still haven’t found a brush that I like nearly as much as Lancome’s. I have to say that I have never used a polish that had such perfect coverage with just one coat, but I still did two just because that was my preference. It’s super easy to work with, and it dries relatively fast. The color looks slightly metallic to me in certain lights; in the house with only natural light, it appears to be an espresso color that deepens into a dark chocolate. It has a very loose linear holo effect, almost scattered. As shown here, it is two coats with Glisten & Glow HK Girl for the topcoat.

I really love Bondi’s Fool’s. I’ve been in search of the perfect gold polish for a long time, and most of them have been too metallic for my tastes. Fool’s is like a creamy metallic blend, and has a lovely buttery gold glow on the nail. It is relatively sheer, so I applied three coats for these photos, though I think you could get away with just two. It also dries pretty fast. I’m so sad they’re discontinuing this color, I think it deserves much more love than it is getting.

That’s all I have for today! I ordered four more Lilypad’s, so I’ll put up a review of those once they come in, and I have some Hares and a Coco Allure as well. Until then, hope you’re all doing well!
