Kat Von D High Voltage Lacquer

What it is:A daring collection of intensely pigmented nail colors. What it does:These vibrant, vivacious nail lacquers were inspired by the neon trends of the '80s. The high-quality, richly pigmented formulas will catch all eyes in the room with their bright, ultra-reflective shine. Infused with tiny particles of shattered glass, these are the boldest and shiniest polishes you'll find. The extended wear, anti-chip formula is water and detergent resistant and provides UV protection to ensure the color's fidelity. What else you need to know:These lacquers are formulated without toluene, formaldehyde, and DBP.Sephora is the exclusive beauty retailer for this product.

Lovely color, with it was more opaque
-03.09.13
Quick Take: sheer, duochrome
The color is gorgeous. A stunning purple blue. Applies smooth, no streaking, decent drying time. Only down side is that it's very sheer. I recommend using it as a topcoat over a similar base color.

So glad I didn't pay full price for this! Love the color, but it barely wears AT ALL. It was chipping and shrinking the NEXT DAY. But it did have a nice texture. Not super gritty like most glitters.
Kat needs to stick to makeup

Bright Yellow?
-11.10.12
Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, horrible color, gold not yellow
I love the color yellow. I bought this polish thinking it'd be what it says, that being bright yellow. It's GOLD. I love the sparkles but the color is god awful and not the color I was hoping for. It does last for awhile though, thats the only good thing about it.

Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying
I bought this polish in Wonderchild (Purple), Sparklehorse (Yellow), and No Regrets (Hot Pink). They are so pigmented and sparkley! I hope Kat comes out with more polishes! I would love to see more colors!

Sparklehorse
-10.10.12
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing
I really like this colour! It's a bit electric neon yellow, a bit gold glitter jelly. It takes a few coats to make it opaque but it lasted a while and I got a ton of compliments.

Fabulous color
-09.29.12
Quick Take: fast-drying
Horrible sticking power. Kat Von d nail polish flacked off while I slept. Put this on before bed while I watched tv for an hour. woke up with flacking off at least half the nails. I love the color. I'd buy the color again. Just not the brand of polish.

No Regrets
-09.03.12
Quick Take: very pretty and dimensional, the glitter is subtle enough to wear to work
No Regrets is a sultry purple with ultra-fine glitter. Kat's polish is awesome - nice application, smooth. etc. (My husband does my toes and he is very,very picky about polish, too.) I'm also rough on my nails at work and this lasted a weeK!

Bright & Happy
-09.03.12
I put two coats on & a clear top coat, I like it best with a top coat btw it adds to the shiny sparklieness of it, and the color is bright, saturated, sparkley and happy. I got the yellow and pink, thats all that was available. I would have bought all four colors if it was possible, i liked them when i tested them at Sephora. That said, it does chip easily so I am glad I got it on sale. I love the bright summery colors so much though, that honestly I probably would have paid full price. I am doing this review from my phone & it doesn't have a Photo option, otherwise I would upload a photo of my nails. I would recommend buying it, like I said its a fun summery color.

All four colors are fantastic
-08.31.12
I have all four and they rock. They are bright but not over done. They have sparkle and shine. They last a long time. The colors have a lot of depth. They work well together (multiple colts on one hand) or alone. Must own. I hope Kat comes out with more. Love them

Wonderchild
-08.12.12
Quick Take: shiny, dual tone
I LOVE Wonderchild. Love, love, looooove! Purple is my favourite color so I just had to get this (especially since it was on sale). Gotta get two coats before it looks good... but the end product is more than satisfactory.
Layering SEPHORA by OPI's Be-Claus I Said So over Wonderchild got me many complements at work. :]

-08.09.12
Pretty color and shine, but takes a while to dry and chips easily. As usual with Kat Von D, the quality needs to improve before I buy again.

Cute color
-08.07.12
Quick Take: pretty, opaque, pigmented
The polish size was a little smaller than I expected and I'm not sure if the packaging just looks smaller because it is a different shape but it doesn't really matter. The color is cute and you don't need to layer coats. Good buy! :)

I have this nail polish in No Regrets and Wonderchild. Both are amazing colors with just the right amount of micro-glitter and shine.
