Cagedbird Nail Lacquer & Giveaway!

Cagedbird Nail Lacquer has been quick to take a strong hold on my heart.  Sarah has such a true blue talent for making the most simple yet classic polishes! I have done a review a few months back but I feel a second review is definitely deserved. Today I will be showing you 4 of their polishes......AND I will be giving away 3 mini sized polishes. Keep reading for more information!

Crystalline: a multi-sized white matte hex glitter polish mixed with purple matte hex glitters. I am wearing one coat layered over China Glaze Something Sweet. I also used a matte top coat which I think looks fantastic. Application was easy; some of the larger glitters did need a little coaxing to come out of the bottle though.

 Faerie Carnival: aqua, lavender, pink, green, blue and white pastel matte glitter with ultra-fine holographic shimmer. One coat is shown layered over China Glaze Re-fresh mint. Application was challenging. I have found that dabbing the glitters on to the nail works much better than applying as normal. This is my absolute favorite Cagedbird Nail Lacquer.

Electric Angel: a mixture of teal matte, gunmetal metallic, and black matte hex glitter in three sizes. This polish was inspired by a certain synthesized songstress with teal hair. Mega brownie points to those of you who know who it is! I absolutely had to buy it once I found out where the inspiration derived from. Application was amazing. Absolutely no problems! This is one coat layered over Zoya Dove.

Rose Golden: a metallic glitter in both medium yellow gold hexes and rose pink. This polish is just gorgeous. I believe Rose Golden was originally custom made as a gift for someone, and actually ended up making it's way into their etsy shop! And I am very glad it did. I am wearing 1 coat over Finger Paints Black Expressionism. I  had the hardest time trying to decide what to use as underwear! I wanted to really show off all the beautiful details in the polish so I went with black. Application was great.

A-England Iseult + Cagedbird Nail Lacquer

I'm alive!! It's been a while since I've posted here, huh? I recently just came back from vacation and have finally had time to hunker down and commit to by blog again. Hooray! Not only am I back, but I'm back to show you a lovely indie polish brand by the name of Cagedbird Nail Lacquer by Sarah. Her polishes are just lovely in every way possible. 

She just recently opened up her Etsy shop and has a handful of polishes for sale right now! I have a feeling her polishes are going to be a huge hit, so get them while you can! I have two that I purchased to show you today. 

I started off with 3 coats of A-England Iseult. The formula was sort of sheer, but builds up wonderfully with 3 coats. It has a very slight white shimmer to it as well which I feel makes it very unique and beautiful.

From there I added 2 coats of Cagedbird - Faerie Carnival. Faerie Carnival is a beautiful mix of pastel matte glitters with a very fine holo dust sparkle. Sarah currently is only offering 5mL mini bottles for sale, but I think she plans to offer full sized bottles in the future!! The bottle decoration is just adorable. She adds a personalized ribbon bow to each bottle, as well as a beautifully hand written label and the bottle sticker which is silhouetted with a caged bird.

Applying Faerie Carnival was a little tricky, I found it worked best when I dabbed the glitter onto my nails, rather then applying like normal polish with strokes. Other than that, the formula was great and didn't cause any problems. I absolutely LOVE this polish. I am a huge fan of pastel and this is just so perfect for me. I will definitely be getting myself a back up bottle in the future. 

The second polish I ordered from Cagedbird is called Midnight in Paris. It is such a fitting name for the polish. It is a deep black with a mix of tiny blue, red, pink and silver glitters. Application was normal, I only needed 2 coats to achieve full opacity. 

Overall I am really impressed with Cagedbird Nail Lacquer polishes. I am looking forward to what else Sarah will come up with in the future. Once again you can find her Facebook fan page here. If you want to purchase any of Cagedbird Nail Lacquers you can visit their etsy shop here.

Her polishes retail for $5.00 dollars and are worth every penny.

A-Englands can be purchased from their direct website here or you can also purchase them from Llarowe or OverallBeauty. They retail for around $12.00 dollars per polish.

I hope you enjoyed today's post! Please do go visit Cagedbird Nail Lacquer's shop and fan page. Sarah will be updating her page frequently with any new information.

Thanks for reading, lovelies.
