Are you ready for Part Two??? Today I have the remaining four polishes to show you in the Gift of the Magi Collection from Literary Lacquers!
Literary Lacquers Gift of the Magi Collection
And I received mine in the greatest packaging and with a copy of The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry.
Since there are EIGHT polishes in this collection, I decided to split them in to two posts. You can see Part 1 of the collection here.
These are the ones I'll be showing you now:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's start with the namesake of the Collection...Gift of the Magi!
Gift of the Magi - This one is a green glitter polish and it's opaque in TWO coats! I actually didn't realize that at first and layered it over Barry M Emerald Green on all except the ring finger and that's two coats on its own. It's also not a top coat hungry glitter as you would expect - one coat of Poshe made it perfectly smooth to the touch. I was really surprised. Application was smooth and easy.

Generosity and Love - This one is a blue to purple duochrome. Application was good and I used three coats. I think on short nails two would be enough and on longer nails I probably could have used four. Check out the close ups though! I love the little glitter particles. I didn't capture the purple as well as I wanted, but it's definitely a strong duochrome.

Sudden Serious Sweetness - This one is a really sweet pink. At first I didn't think it would like me as pastels usually don't but as I was trying to pick out a complimentary polish to use as underwear, I realized that it has just a little touch of purple that brightens it. And the various glitter particles in it also give it that something extra - you can see them in the closeup photo at the end. I used Zoya Barbie on all but the ring finger where I am wearing three coats on its own. Again, shorter, less stained nails would probably find two coats of this sufficient. One coat of Poshe on top.

Bright Spirit - This one is a pale aqua base full of various glitters including those wonderful translucent ones that I love. I used Pure Ice Home Run as underwear on all but the ring finger where I have a plain white cream. I layered two coats of Bright Spirit and finished up with one coat of Poshe. Check out the shimmer!

Well now that you've seen all eight, which is your favorite? I'm sticking with Greatest Treasures, but of this collection I was REALLY surprised by Bright Spirit. I was sure it would be my least favorite and it turned out to be my favorite of this set.
The collection launches on Monday, November 26 at noon MST. She is also having a big sale to go with the launch- the "777 Sale." All polishes (full size) will be $7 for 7 days and if you purchase 7 bottles the shipping is free. Minis are coming soon, probably mid-December.
