Tree-Mendous Nails

Hellooooo. 
It's a wet & rainy day here today :/
But at least it feels a little colder and more like Christmas time.

Speaking of Christmas,
let's get on to another indie from Lush Lacquer's holiday collection!
This little number was one of the many polishes given to me from my bestie over at GaGa for Nails :)


Here's 2 coats of Lush Lacquer's 'Tree-Mendous' over China Glaze's 'In the Limelight'.


'Tree-Mendous' is a clear base with "holographic" green micro glitter, then medium sized red, yellow, blue, green, pink, orange, and white hexagonal glitter dotted throughout. To top it off, the polish has some gold stars mixed in, as well. Obviously, they're meant to represent ornaments and the star on top of the tree.

On their site, they suggested using 'Tree-Mendous' over a lime green polish, so I quickly hunted down CG's 'In the Limelight' and used it as a base. I wish I had used 2 coats of it instead of 1, though. Regarding 'Tree-Mendous', I feel like coverage would have been better with 3 coats rather than 2, but I still like how it turned out.

'Tree-Mendous's formula was great. Getting the gold stars out proved to be a little tricky,
but the makers address this issue on their site. After much shaking and a little probing with a tooth pick, I easily got some. After applying 1 coat of SV, everything dried flat and smooth :)

I like this polish. It's different than many i've seen on Etsy, particularly other Christmas polishes. I wish the stars were a little easier to obtain, but that issue is often to be expected & is no biggie. Overeall, super glad I was gifted this little baby! You can buy a full size of it here on their Etsy site for $8.75. You can also find Lush Lacquer on Llarowe, but it's usually more expensive.




What do you guys think?
