It’s been a nice Cadillacquer kind of week! So far I’ve shown you the gorgeous new Color4Nails exclusive Cadillacquer shades, and after that I showed you the stunning Lakodom collection. Today I have the Valhalla Collection!

Cadillacquer Valhalla Collection Main 1

The Cadillacquer Valhalla collection was inspired by the TV show Vikings. The series is inspired by the tales of the raiding, trading, and exploring Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia. I haven’t actually seen this series, but I’ll probably look it up since Nick and I watch a lot of series like this at night when we are ready for bed, but not quite tired enough to fall asleep yet.

All 10 of these shades are available now on the Colo4Nails site, and of course you can use my code CSant10 at checkout on the Color4Nails site to get 10% off your order.

Let’s take a look at each shade!

Baldur

Baldur

Baldur is a light lavender, linear holographic with green shimmer particles and micro flakes.I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Baldur is a god in Norse mythology, who is given a central role in the mythology. Despite this his precise function is rather disputed. He is often interpreted as the god of love, peace, forgiveness, justice, light or purity, but was not directly attested as a god of such.

Cadillacquer Valhalla Collection Overview

Cadillacquer Valhalla Collection Overview

If you have never tried Cadillacquer – you should. The quality of the polishes have always been perfect for me and I don’t recall ever having an issue with any of them. The combinations created are generally more on the unique side and with so many polishes coming out on a weekly basis now from the indie world, Cadillacquer consistently puts out shades I can honestly say are unique to my collection. I’m nearing 11,000 polishes in my collection (one day I will catalog all of them, organize and show photos) so for me to say they are mostly unique – it’s pretty accurate.

All of the shades in this collection had a great formula, perfect application and I had no issues to report.

My top picks for the Cadillacquer Valhalla Collection are Elli, Rán, Valhalla, Idun, Heimdal and Bragi.

I totally agree, Madeleine’s creations are always unique. No one mixes shimmers and glitters like she does!
