Salon Perfect Lacquer Basics Duo Oil Slick & Sugar Cube Swatches, Review & Nail Art

I received 4 Salon Perfect polish duos recently and tonight I am showing you the 4th set (there are more available at Walmart though!)

I have the Salon Perfect Lacquer Basics Duo to show you which is simply a black and white creme (really the 2 shades every nail enthusiast has in their arsenal!)  Plus, I decided to see how well they water marble, even if my marbling skill isn’t 100% up to par.

Oil Slick

Oil Slick is a glossy black creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos.

Sugar Cube

Sugar Cube is a crisp, pure white creme.  I used 2 coats for these photos.  The first coat did look a bit streaky, but the second coat evened it all out.

And A Little Nail Art

It’s late so I didn’t have time to do a full water marble manicure, so I did the accent nail, painted the other nails with Oil Slick and added a pretty crystal so they didn’t look as plain!  I used Sugar Cube as a white base on my ring finger and then used both Sugar Cube and Oil Slick to do a water marble.  (sorry about cleanup… it’s getting late and I’m going between nail art and getting my sons stuff together for school tomorrow!)

Overview

If you are looking for a good black and white polish for basics… Salon Perfect has you covered at a good price.  I had no application issues, and both polishes were perfect at 2 coats.

Price: $4.98 for the Duo (yes, for BOTH of these shades!)

Where To Buy: Walmart 

I’ve now shown you all the duos I have (for now!) and coming soon I’ll have some fun nail art kits from Salon Perfect to show you!

Everyone needs a good black and white for nail art, and stamping! These look super glossy and pigmented. Love the watermarble - that's something I never have succeeded with, and it's just too messy for me to keep practicing! I commend you, and bow to your greatness for doing one - especially whilst getting your son ready for school!

I love that watermarble!!! I have yet to have a really good watermarble. I think I might try the plastic baggie trick soon haha

Your watermarble is so pretty! ONE day I will get a pretty one!

I love the watermarble! I haven't tried it yet... I'm afraid of the clean up lol

I use OPI Peel off Base around my fingers and cuticles, let it dry and then marble! After I can just peel the base off my skin and then very minimal cleanup!

That nail art is crazy and I love the basic colors themselves too.

OMG I need that black ASAP, it looks so much better than any other black I have seen. And wow that white is gorgeous. Beautiful swatches as usual. Love love love!!!

I'm afraid to admit I don't have a black in my arsenal! I loved the creamy look of these two shades. The water marble accent nail was gorgeous! I would love to learn how to do it!

I love Oil Slick! Also, your swirl is out of this world!

These look great! The white isn't streaky, which is usually an issue with white polishes.

Great swatches and I love the watermarbling you did!
Doria May 21, 2014 - 1:53 pm
Wow, Sugar Cube looks like an AWESOME white even if it takes 2 coats (which is half as much as some take lol). Love your watermarble accent nails always!
Phyrra May 21, 2014 - 3:09 pm
I love that water marble!
Kimberly May 21, 2014 - 5:14 pm
I would love to have that marble look on a scarf too!

Your accent nail is to die for. That's what they should look like!

The marbling is beautiful!!
Laura MyNewestAddiction May 21, 2014 - 7:11 pm
the simplicity of black and white is just beautiful! Love

Elegant mani as per usual. I did water marble one time, it was a disaster... poor lil me, hahaha
Miranda May 21, 2014 - 11:13 pm
A good black & white nail polish are staples!
Anastasia May 22, 2014 - 5:00 am
Those are great staples to have in every collection.

I might have to run over to Walmart - Sugar Cube looks like the perfect white!
Kendra May 22, 2014 - 12:34 pm
Loving Sugar Cube!

I really want to learn how to water marble - this design is gorgeous and I love your swatches :)
Lisa Heath May 22, 2014 - 4:02 pm
It's pretty much the only type of nail art I can do without screwing up.
Betzy Carmona May 22, 2014 - 3:51 pm
Although they are such basics shades they are very pretty !
Kimmi May 23, 2014 - 12:16 am
I'm obsessed with white nails, I just love them. That marble is incredible. I wish I could do it.
