Kelara Lacquers Planetary Collection Swatches and Review

Kelara Lacquers Planetary Collection Swatches and Review

 I have a new indie line to show you today!  I received 10 nail lacquers from Kelara Lacquer to review, and I have split them into 2 posts.  The first set will be part of the Planetary Collection.

Since this is a new indie line, here is a little about the duo behind the polish:

Kelara Lacquers is a new line of 3-free and cruelty-free handmade nail polish created by me and my fiance, Kellen Scott. The name Kelara is a combination of our names, Kellen and Tara! We just officially opened our shop this past weekend and currently offer three different collections: The Fantasy Collection, The Planetary Collection, and the Colors for a Cause Collection (which supports various charities). We test all our ingredients and polishes thoroughly to ensure we have a quality product and constantly strive to improve our mixing skills and formulas.

I’m seeing more and more couples opening shops together and I personally think it’s adorable!

Ok onto the Planetary Collection swatches!  I have 5 polishes from this line.  So I am not repetitive, each polish in this post dries to a satin finish and I applied top coat for a shinier finish.

Jupiter:

This was my favorite of the 5.  Jupiter is a lovely reddish purple base with holographic micro glitter scattered throughout.  I only used 2 coats for this photo .

Neptune:

Neptune is another favorite!  Neptune is a medium blue green base with micro holographic glitter scattered within.   I used 2 coats for this as well as a top coat.

Uranus:

Uranus is a stunning turquoise base with micro holo glitter scattered in.  I wore this to work Friday and got a lot of compliments on it.  The color is vibrant and fun!  I only needed 2 coats for this polish.

Venus:

Venus is a lovely golden base with copper micro glitters scattered within.  This is a very pretty nude type polish to have!  I used 2 coats for this mani.

Pluto:

Now I thought this was cute as all get out.  Pluto is included in this collection, but it is only available in dwarf (mini) size!  This was an unexpected favorite.  Pluto has a VERY subtle duo chrome to it that I didn’t notice until I got up and was making food in the kitchen.  As my fingers moved Pluto would go from a golden orange color to more of a reddish bronze.  I could NOT capture it in photos though!  It’s really subtle and really pretty!  I used 2 coats for this photo!

Application wise, all 5 of these were good.  They dry to a satin finish, so like most satin/matte polishes, dry time was fairly fast.  I didn’t experience bald spots or streaking while applying, nor did I come across obvious brush strokes.

Full Size Kelara Lacquers retail for $9.00

Mini size (and remember, Pluto only comes in mini) Kelara Lacquers retail for $4.50
