Mystic's collection Round 1

Hello Everyone!

     I've been a bit slow on updating lately, long hours at work have left little time for me to work on Lillibun or nail art.  However, I am excited to share swatches of the first batch of Lillibun Lacquers to get sent out for feedback testing and review!  Already I've made a few personal revisions on some of these polishes for better formula consistency and colors, but I am looking forward to the feedback to make further revisions and perfect these colors and really help lock down the quality bar that I want to set for Lillibun as a brand.

    I am a firm believer in transparency in all things, so I will be keeping you all updated with progress and revisions that are made and am always open for feedback and suggestions.  This first collection though, I am calling the Mystic's collection.  Here are all the colors together:



And swatching shots of them individually.  First up is

Oracle's Blessing


Oracle's Blessing is a deep blue packed with green interference sparkles, giving it an almost metallic green sheen when viewed in sunlight.  This is a 2 coat formula, very easy to apply and definitely my favorite color of the bunch.  I've even had several people at work notice this shade and comment on it.  The photos really aren't doing it justice, I've tried multiple lighting setups but it really can't capture the way this sparkles in light.

 Witch's Hex


This was the first color that I made, and has undergone some minor revisions since mostly to make the application easier and more consistent.  It's slightly more translucent than Oracle's Blessing, I'm showing Witch's Hex with 3 coats here but it's definitely wearable at 2 coats.  It's a deep royal purple color, filled with blue interference sparkles.  Again, the photos don't quite hold up to the real thing.  There are certain lighting, particularly sunlight, where it starts to look metallic with the amount of shine packed into this formula.

Sorcerer's Flame


Sorcerer's flame is an intense red jelly that's filled with gold interference glitter.  Like Oracle's Blessing and Witch's Hex, it shows up best in sunlight where the sparkles really pick up and glint.  This color applies as full coverage in 2 coats.

Druid's Slumber


Druid's Slumber is an emerald green polish with gold and green interference sparkles mixed in.  It is actually a thermal that shifts to a darker emerald at the tips, but it's quite subtle so that I am considering removing the thermal property in the final product.  It has a wonderfully creamy consistency and is probably the easiest to apply of the bunch, it goes on smooth and opaque in 2 coats

Enchantress' Kiss


This color is an off white creme with a subtle pink shimmer.  The formula goes opaque in 2 silky coats. It's the simplest shade of the bunch, but goes well as a base for nail art.

Seer's Vision


Seer's vision was the first color that I wanted to make when I got into creating nail polish.  It's been a back and forth battle with trying to get a good formula for this shade, but I think I am finally happy with the results.  It's a pastel blue creme with flecks of purple and silver in the light.  It has an easy 2 coat application for full coverage.

I hope you like all of these shades!  Again, I am always open to feedback and suggestions, please feel free to comment and/or e-mail me at Lillibun@gmail.com
