LevelUP Lacquer ~ Bertie Bott's Collection Part 2 ~ Not So Good Flavors

                                                                            *Provided for review


          Hi! Tonight I bring you part 2 of this Harry Potter inspired collection from LevelUP Lacquer! The polishes are based on the good, or not so good, flavors of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. Part 1 was the good flavors which you can see HERE. Part 2 is going to be the not so good flavors. I wrote all of the details for purchase in Part 1 so make sure you check that out! This post will just be swatches and links. With that being said, let's jump right into the swatches!

          Dirty Socks is a gorgeous light grey creamy polish with black hexes and a golden shimmer. I love this one so much! The formula is perfect and I have never seen a polish quite like this before. It also makes me think of Dobby getting a sock so its high up there for me. Possibly my favorite of the whole collection! I mean, DOBBY!!!! My swatch is 3 thin coats with top coat.

Dirt is my second favorite of the whole collection. Weird they are in the not so good flavors lol! Dirt is a creamy dark brown holo polish with an aqua shimmer. OMG its sooooo pretty! And I am sure you are seeing a pattern with formula right? Oh so good! Like buttah <3 My swatch is 3 thin coats with topcoat.

Boogey, as unpleasant as that thought is, is a really pretty lime green jelly polish. It is packed with tons of green glitters. Different shapes and sizes. Super smooth formula even with all the glitters! My swatch is 3 thin coats with top coat.

Sardines is definitely going to be a crowd favorite from this collection. Its a glitter packed polish. It has silver and blue glitters with plenty of holo-y bling! I did 2 swatches of this because it can either be full coverage or it can be layered. For the first swatch I put 1 careful coat over China Glaze New Birth then a coat of top coat.

My second swatch of Sardines is 1 regular coat then 2 sponged on coats. It doesn't need to done this way. There is more than enough glitter in the polish to get it opaque in 2-3 coats. This is just how I did it. I also needed to add 2 coats of top coat to even out the glitters a little. That also shouldn't be an issue if you just polish normally. Its all about preference :)

Last we have Soap. Soap is a creamy white polish loaded with iridescent glitters in different shapes and sizes. There is also a green and blue shimmer. Super pretty. Totally looks like soap bubbles. It so soft yet so shiny! My swatch is 3 thin coats with top coat. I also show it matte because iridescent glitters need to be matted! It does something amazing to them! Take a look!
