For my toe nails!
-05.14.13
Quick Take: chip resistent, long wearing, fast-drying
I love this shade even though it's dark it is light enough to
wear on my hands because it his sparkle in it with out it
being cheap glittery but it glitters and has a shimmer at the same time.

Violet Quartz
-02.04.13
I really liked the two tone effect of this color in the bottle. It fades easily from reddish violet to gold. After applying the payoff isn't quite the same. It still has a strong reddish violet color that I like but it is hard to get the gold to shine through. After drying completely it has almost 3 colors going on. The original reddish violet, a dark brown, and then a hint of gold shimmer. It tends to look more brown at night and more colorful in the daytime but it does chip pretty easily

Quick Take: fast-drying
I have the six Pantone + Sephora polishes that were released last year and I'm absolutely in love with them. The colors are vibrant and really only one coat is needed! The color does wear rather quickly, but still, it's absolutely worth it!

Great shade of purple
-01.17.13
I really like this polish, and I've gotten a number of compliments on it. The blue shimmer doesn't come through as well as I had hoped, but the shade of purple goes with most of my clothing that is purple and of course looks great with neutral colors.

SO PRETTY
-01.14.13
This is such a beautiful color, there is nothing else like it! The perfectest rose gold color that my eyes have everr seen. It's like someone melted a rose gold watch.. this is that color. One thing though. It chips after about 3 days and plus it's a little streaky when put on over a base coat but other than that, GOOD!

Bought this for my daughter in the color ROSE DAWN ~ but I've been using it too! The color is a pinkish/copper, reminds me of a newly minted penny! Smooth going on, lasts long, highly recommend!

Quick Take: long wearing, fast-drying, chip resistent
I bought the Rose Dawn color, which is a nice rosy neutral. I love the current rose gold trend, but I had been scared to try it because my skin tone can make it look awkward. However, this looked absolutely beautiful on my nails. I ended up painting a single coat on each nail as a test (no base, no top coat) and was pleasantly surprised when it lasted a week with no chipping. I would absolutely recommend this nail polish.
Just a note, I have a cool skin tone and this still looked great on me.

Quick Take: fast-drying, great color
I got this nail polish on sale and love the color. It is a pretty cosmic blue. It chips kind of easily but if you put a top coat on it lasts a little longer.

Pretty in the bottle...
-12.26.12
I ordered all of these, except for the Rose Dawn color. I order nail polish online a lot, so I always allow some leeway for the fact that a polish may not necessarily be exactly what I expect. But, with the exception of the Cradle Pink color, these "jewel lacquers" were a huge disappointment. A couple problems: 1) The colors look great in the bottles, but lose all their appeal once they are applied. Any duochrome you see in the bottle is not visible at all on the nail. The Parachute Purple had the *slightest* hint of green if you looked at it in bright sunlight from a certain angle. 2) Foregoing top coat with these is not an option. They dry to a weird, un-shiny finish, if that's even a word. They don't dry matte, just... un-shiny. 3) The formula is unfriendly. These are thick, which makes for decent opacity, but makes it difficult to apply evenly. I can't comment on any chipping issues because I didn't wear any of them long enough to see if they chipped or not. Cradle Pink doesn't really have any of these problems though--I like that one. The rest were a waste of time and money.

Long wearing, great colors, chip resistant
-12.24.12
I purchased Evergreen, Reflecting Pond and Cradle Pink and I was not disappointed. Evergreen and Reflecting pond are the exact color as the bottle, catch the light beautifully, and are very long lasting. Cradle Pink is more of a clearer shimmer then a solid color so I've been using it over other colors as a topcoat treatment. The polish is relatively fast drying and the brush allows for easy application. This polish is comparable to OPI in quality and I will definitely buy again.

this means business
-12.20.12
Quick Take: luxuriously decadent, a lot of bang for the buck, easily applied
I have tried two shades of Jewel Lacquer and I am coming back for more. One coat gives rich effect; these lacquers mean business.
