Press Samples

It’s been a bit since Stardust Collaboration put out a box… and after a much needed break – they are back! The Stardust Collaboration for January 2022 is Viva Las Vegas!

I feel like a lot of time has passed by and it warrants an explanation on the box. I don’t know how often these will be done. I know at one time it was monthly – and there was talks of every other month… and I think that’s what they are going with? Heck – this might be a “whenever inspiration strikes” box. We’ll see.

Basically – this will be a box of (usually) 3 polishes. The 2 main makers are Rogue Lacquer and Kathleen & Co, and then there will be a guest maker. The guest maker for January 2022 is Bluebird Lacquer.

Each month there will be a theme – this month is Viva Las Vegas.

Stardust is all about the shimmer and multichrome. Each polish will have one or both finishes.

Also I got new backdrops. I’m still playing with them, but this is the first post featuring one of them. I got bored and had some amazon gift cards to burn.

For all photos I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base and Sweet & Sour Lacquer Gloss Sauce. I do use artificial lighting for my photos. I work during the day and weekend afternoons I’m with Nick and Jacob, so I do most swatching when the sun is setting or gone. My current setup uses GlamCor Pro LIghts and I use the Ultra X Model and this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).

Ready for the review? These will be launching tomorrow – so be ready!

Rogue Lacquer | Vegas Baby

Vegas Baby is a metallic gold scattered holographic base with additional gold flecks. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Kathleen & Co | Sin City

Sin City is a teal to blue to purple to gold shifting multichrome based linear holographic. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

This shade was surprisingly sheer on the first coat, but it did build up. I used 3 thin coats, but 2 thicker coats may work just as well.

Bluebird Lacquer | Giddy Up!

Giddy Up is a vibrant lilac toned violet jelly base with violet to blue shifting shimmer and scattered holo flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Stardust Collaboration January 2022 | Viva Las Vegas!

I’m assuming the choice of theme is related to Rogue Lacquer’s upcoming nail event in Vegas! I unfortunately will not be there, but I’m exciting to see pics from it.
