Lab Report – Alchemy Lacquers Distiller’s Duo (Alchemist Edition)

Provided for Honest Review

Aww!  The time has come – I’ve reached the end of the fall release polishes from Alchemy Lacquers.  I saved the Limited Edition Distiller’s Duo for last!  This duo has already been pretty popular so you should definitely snag it before its gone!  Let’s get started shall we?

First up is The Devil’s Cut:

Devil’s Cut is a charcoal gray jelly polish filled with silver shimmer.  Then black and gray microflakies were added.  As if that wasn’t enough there are a huge amount of black and metallic red microglitters suspended throughout that add a ton of sparkle and depth.  Yeah pretty much this whole thing has just got it going on!  I’m not a huge fan of black polishes but because this one isn’t opaque and has so much silver and sparkle added to it I think I manage to pull it off quite nicely!

I love that you can really see the red microglitter and it stands out so prominently!  The formula on this is devilishly fabulous.  Even though it goes on sheer in one coat it is easily buildable and the pictures show three thin coats plus topcoat.  There is a lot going on here so the polish may be slightly thicker in formula than some other polishes but I didn’t find it to be distracting or a problem during application.

Polishes Used:  Glisten & Glow – Stuck on Blu; Alchemy Lacquers – Devil’s Cut; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat.

Next up we have Angel’s Share:

If ever there was a duo that was so completely opposite from each other, well it would be this one!  Perfectly so in my opinion.  Angel’s Share is a sheer white jelly polish packed with shimmery white and iridescent microflakies.  Just like Devil’s Cut, Rebecca didn’t stop with microflakies, oh no she went for it and added gold and silver holographic microglitter.  Oh.My.Heck.  If I could imagine angel’s wings I think that they would look like this!

It’s just a really beautiful polish and I don’t mind saying it!  Now then the formula on this was divine (see what I did there?  I crack myself up).  It didn’t streak or drag.  Again because of the plethora of complex goodness this one is slightly on the thick side but it was not unworkable in the least, I generally prefer my polishes to be a little thicker rather than thinner anyway, this one stays where you put it and that’s a good thing.  It’s sheer but buildable, pretty standard for a jelly polish.  Pictures show three thin coats with topcoat.

Polishes Used:  Glisten & Glow – Stuck on Blu; Alchemy Lacquers – Angel’s Share; Digital Nails – Ain’t Nobody Got Time for That Topcoat.
