For January 2025, Royla Lee (formerly Wildflower Lacquer!) is introducing their debut collection – Era of Elegance! Era of Elegance is a 10 piece collection inspired by vintage things that remind Taylor of her grandma. Along with the Era of Elegance Collection, there will also be the 2025 Suicide Awareness polish and a January 2025 Polish for Paws shade
To see this entire release swatched on YouTube, please check out my video below!
For my lighting set up I use artificial lighting due to my day job, my set up involves 2 Neatfi XL Lamps from Amazon (affiliate link) as well as this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base (which dries clear), and for top coat I used Sassy Sauce Polish Tenacious Glaze (sent as a gift). I didn’t feel that a glitter smoother was necessary because these didn’t dry with much texture.
Let’s jump in and take a look!
Royla Lee | Deamflum (Suicide Awareness Polish)
Deamflum means the dreamy and calm-like state experienced while listening to a natural waterfall.
Deamflum is a sheer indigo jelly base loaded with gold to green shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. The final photo shows 1 coat over a black creme.
Every year Taylor creates a polish in memory of her grandpa who lost his battle with depression in 2005. Priced at $13.50 with $6 being split between The American Foundation of Suicide Prevention (https://afsp.org/) and to the East Tennessee Foundation to assist with relief from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
Royla Lee | Newt Scootin’ Boogie
Newt Scootin’ Boogie is a dark green jelly base with coppery red to gold shimmer and holo flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This shade may stain, although I did not have any staining on my gels or natural nails.
$6 of every bottle sold will be donated to ARC.
Every launch Taylor creates a polish for an animal rescue. She wanted to start the New Year off with donating to Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy Inc. https://arcprotects.org/ “ARC is the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on identifying and conserving the highest priority places for amphibians and reptiles in the United States. We protect endangered amphibians and reptiles through a strategic, scientific, and passionate approach that allows us to make a real difference.”
Royla Lee | Luxe
Luxe is a taupe jelly base with blue to purple shifting shimmer and scattered holo. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Royla Lee | Antique
Antique is a warm toned tan jelly base with pink to red shimmer, scattered holo and linear holo. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Royla Lee | Thimble
Thimble is a purple jelly base with silvery purple to blue shifting shimmer packed in, which gives it a lovely foil like look. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Royla Lee | Opalescent
Opalescent is a clear base packed with green to aqua to blue shifting shimmer, and you can get slight glimpses of pink at extreme angles. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. The final photo shows 1 coat over a black creme.
Royla Lee | Chiffon
Chiffon is a pink crelly base with pink to gold microflake shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This has that shimmer in it that can cause those little rust red speck like stains on the nail. I didn’t experience it, but Taylor does warn it’s possible.
Royla Lee | Keepsake
Keepsake is a dark powder blue jelly base with tons of blue purple to pink microflake shimmer mixed in. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
My photos show this as being a little darker that it actually is in person.
Royla Lee | Heirloom
Heirloom is a mint green crelly base with purple to pink to gold to green shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Royla Lee | Cameo
Cameo is a dark salmon orange jelly base with strong blue to purple shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
I expected this to look more “rusty” on my nails but it was surprisingly very pink with the purple shimmer and salmon orange jelly mix.
Royla Lee | Patina
Patina is a mulberry jelly base packed with bronzey gold shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Royla Lee | Regal
Regal is a red crelly base with red shimmer. The red shimmer had some hints of a pinkish red when light hit a certain way. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Royla Lee | Compact Mirror
Royla Lee is launching compact mirrors that will be launching with this release. There are 3 styles and will be launching with each shop.
The 3 styles will be a heart with the Royla Lee branding, a hummingbird with the Royla Lee branding, and a cat and moon with the Royla Lee branding (which is the one I show in these photos)
These will be $8 and available in limited quantities with every shop opening.
