FUN Lacquer: Limited edition Love 2014 Collection

Moar multi-chrome holos, MOAAAARRRRR. Here's FUN Lacquer's newest collection, the limited edition Love 2015 collection! You grab some direct from FUN Lacquer (ships from Singapore) or from one of their stockists. I personally love to order from Live Love Polish, where you'll find this whole collection available for pre-order right now (which means you'll guarantee it'll be yours - they sell out so fast!) many other FUN's, and a bunch of other must-have indie holos!!

This collection includes eight gorgeous new polishes that represent the different types of love we experience in our lives including the love for partner, parents, siblings and friends. There's four unique shades that each come with a holo glitter twin, of course!

Swatch conditions:

First up, Storge! She's a vibrant purple multi-chrome that shifts to reddish-pink to a burnt orange. Super elegant and striking all at the same time. This is three thin coats and you can really see just how pigmented she is when layered over Philia on my accent nail! Some might think she's similar to FUN Lacquer's 'Reunion' from the New Year's collection, but she is far more warm purple learning and the shift to reddish/burnt orange is not the same as the pink shift in Reunion.

Here's Storge's evil holo twin, Storge (H)! Same colour deal except with added gold holographic micro-glitters. There are so many holo glitters jam-packed into this bottle that you definitely know you ain't getting no half-ass holo mix, it's a holo-to-the-max mix done right!!

This exuberant rich golden olive beauty is Philia, representing the love between friends. Apparently 'philia' is Greek for the love between friends but... I don't know about you, but whenever I hear the word 'philia', all I see is as a suffix appended to a bunch of other terms used to describe psychopathic and/or abnormal and/or criminal behaviours, including but not limited to: gerontophilia (sexual preference for the elderly), pedophilia (sexual attraction to children), or zoophilia (sexual fixation on animals). This is probably just because of the seven years or so I spent majoring in Criminology/Sociology, or just because I have a sick twisted mind, but either way that's what this polish makes me think of - YAY!! Either way, it's dead sexy to me and I might just have to diagnose myself as a funlacquerphile.

Here's Philia (H), the evil holo twin! The shift is a bit less obvious once you confuse the multi-chrome with all dat sparkle doe.

Eternal Love is the token blurple shifter. She shift from a blue-teal to royal blue to indigo to a vibrant magenta-purple! Some might think she's close to Blessing from the New Year's collection, but she's far less green-leaning and way more blue.

It's a fight between Eternal Love above and Unconditional Love right here for my fav of the collection... While I'm a sucker for teal/blue/purple polishes, this pink to gold shifter has me so excited! She shifts from a vibrant magenta-red through copper to yellow to even shades of olive greens! One might think she's similar to Celebrate from the New Year's collection, but she is far more red-leaning and I actually think the shift in this one is much stronger. Instead of stopping at orange, she goes all the way to yellows and greens. Pretty freakin' amazing all that shifty shifty power!

And lastly, accent nails! Again I used love chain nail vinyls from Twinkled T (2 on each nail) to create this simple love-infused look.<<< Watch the video tutorial on Instagram!

Overall I'm loving the composition and quality of this collection! I'm a sucker for strong colour-shifting multi-chromes, and especially ones that are quite opaque like these. Even though I did three coats with all of them, there's a couple in here I could have gotten away with only two coats they're that thick. My third coat was usually just applied as a safeguard for even brush strokes.

Some might think this collection is similar to FUN Lacquer's last collection, New Year 2015 (see swatches and review here) but each polish either has a different base colour or the colour shift is different. If you're looking for a purple multi-chrome for example, I'm not sure you need to buy both Reunion and Storge because they are similar, but at least now you have even more options if you haven't nabbed any of these awesome multi-chromes yet. Now you can choose if you want a blurple to pink shift or a purple to reddish shift ;)

You can find these beauties at FUN Lacquer's store directly (ships from Singapore), or at Live Love Polish (ships internationally from USA), one of my fav stockists with a great selection of indies and mainstream polishes. Remember that this collection is limited edition which means they won't be here forever. It's possible that once they sell out of what they have now, that's it! Live Love Polish puts these along with some other FUN's on pre-order so customers can ensure they get exactly what they want. If you're always wanted to try a FUN Lacquer multi-chrome or any of the FUN's for that matter, now is your chance to nab them before they're gone!
