Today I have the oranges/reds for you.

First up, LeeLoo Multipass - this one is a bright orange jelly with hot pink shimmer. I've layered over Illamasqua Purity on all but the pinky so you can see how the color builds alone. One coat over Purity and3 coats alone. This one applied quite nicely. No top coat.

Next up is To Protect Love. This one is a peach jelly with gold, orange and green shimmer. I wasn't able to capture the green shift, but when you layer it over black, the green really POPS! It has a really gorgeous shift but caused me the most trouble with application. It will take a little practice and extra care for me to apply this one smoothly and evenly. I didn't do a very good job as you will see in the photos. I think the trick is going to be medium to heavy quick coats with plenty of dry-time between and no over-manipulation while applying.  I used 4 coats here with no top coat. Next time I wear it, I will probably use a neutral as "underwear."  You can see that perfect application is achievable from the pinky here...

Next we have Roo Bee Rhod! It's a reddish burnt orange with lots of gold and yellow shimmer. I said yesterday that The Diva Plavalaguna was my favorite but now I think this is my favorite of the collection! It really does have a gorgeous depth of color and lots of personality. The formula and application were great and I had no issues. Perfection!

And finally, the last one. (Sadness.) Fhloston Paradise. This one is a bright cool-toned magenta with light blue shimmer. Application was great and the formula was smooth and even. No issues to report. Very nice. Two coats with no top coat.

Well there you have it - Lilacquer's Fifth Element Collection 2012. Overall, I was very impressed and out of 8 polishes I only had application issues with one...To Protect Love.

My favorites of the collection are Roo Bee Rhod!, The Diva Plavalaguna and Fhloston Paradise.  I didn't show you all of the layering possibilities but opted to show you what the actual polishes look like by themselves. I am sure you guys will be able to come up with endless layering combos with some of them. So what do you think of the collection? I am quite happy to see a great indie polish creator make something without chunky glitters. Refreshing!


These polishes are available on Lilacquer's Etsy Shop and retail for $9 for the full-sized 15ml bottles. You can also follow Lilacquer on Facebook for information, updates, restocks, etc.
