Mani Monday: Lilac Dreams from Gothic Gala Lacquers

*purchased*

Hello lovelies!
   I am back again with another edition of Mani Monday! Sorry this is being published so late but Mr Dreadful is home sick with a sinus infection and NOTHING beauty gets done in a timely fashion with a sick hubby and kids out of school.However I did manage to steal away a post this! This time I am featuring the amazing thermal polish, Lilac Dreams from Gothic Gala Lacquers. I originally came across this lovely company when I was looking for thermal polishes on Etsy. (* The store has since moved off Etsy and on to it's own website.) Then she became on of the sponsors for one of my giveaways on Facebook and Samantha, the owner, was lovely enough to sponsor the winner's choice of polishes.  So when she recently had a buy 2 get a polish free sale I decided to jump in and make a purchase. I chose Lilac Dreams obviously since it was a thermal (color changing) purple. When the package arrived, I was so happy I immediately had to paint my nails with the thermal cause I am like a 3 year old when it comes to thermals. So you will have to forgive the fact that my nails haven't been clean up cause I couldn't wait to take pictures.

It is a lovely matte almost pearly lilac when first applied.

But off course then I had to immediately dunk my nails and ice water to see if I could catch the color shift..

You can see the mid change  from dark to light purple 

You can see the gorgeous dark purple from the ice water on the tips. 

Needless to say, I love thermals and I love purple so this the perfect combination of both. I really liked the matte pearl like finish and I surprisingly enough chose not to put a glossy top coat on this gorgeous polish. If you are interested in purchasing it you can do so on the site. You can also get the latest sales (and there is a 6 month anniversary giveaway going on which you should totally check out with the opportunity to win some amazing nail goodies-US only however she does plan to have international only giveaways as well) on her Facebook page.  I will be doing a review on my recent purchase them them so stay tuned for that as well! Well I hope that you enjoyed this installment of Mani Mondays! 

Until Next Time Lovelies!
