Aren't they gorgeous? I'm sure you've ascertained by the name that the movie The Fifth Element was her inspiration for this collection.

Because of the number of photos, I've divided this collection up into two parts and first up are the blues/greens. Tomorrow I'll be showing you the oranges/reds.

So here we go!

Lilacquer Fifth Element Collection Part One:
Zorg Industries, Supreme Being, Super Green and The Diva Plavalaguna

Zorg Industries is a shimmery, jelly-like duochrome that flashes both blue and green. I am showing this one with no "underwear" with 2 medium coats and no top coat. I'd probably layer it over  a mint green or soft blue when I wear it next, but it does get opaque on it's own as you can see. The formula was good and application was easy.

Next up is Supreme Being. This one is a shimmery ice blue with a lavender shift.  I used 2 medium coats with no "underwear."  The formula on this one was very good and application was easy.

Next is GREEN! Super Green is a bright lime green shimmer that is almost like a "toxic acid waste" green in natural light, which is my favorite look of this one. There's also a duochrome shift to the green shimmer, which is a yellow/gold/peach color that you will see in the last photo. In indirect light, shade, artificial light it takes on several personalities, all green and all gorgeous. Again I used 2 coats, no "underwear" and no top coat. I probably should have used 3 coats on this one to achieve no visible nail line, but two is sufficient. Formula was good and application was good.

And last for today, my FAVORITE of the collection, The Diva Plavalaguna. This one is a rich, shimmery blue-leaning teal. Formula and application were the best of the collection and went on like a dream. Perfect in two coats. No underwear and no top coat for the photos.
