** PRESS SAMPLES **

The Pantone 2018 Color of the Year was declared ultraviolet and I couldn't be anymore excited as purple is my favourite colour! Canadian independent brand Canvas Lacquer created a nail polish duo inspired by the Pantone 2018 Color of the Year and I've got swatches for you!

This duo is currently available to purchase via their Etsy shop and each retail for $15 CAD

Let's get onto the swatches!

-----

Canvas Lacquer - Violet Uprising

Violet Uprising is full of glowing shimmer that shifts subtly from blue to magenta.

My swatch of Violet Uprising is shown in 2 easy creamy coats, paired with a glossy top coat.

Canvas Lacquer - Electric Avenue

Electric Avenue has a base full of a variety of purple metallic and holographic hex glitters with dashing of holographic shimmer.

My swatch of Electric Avenue is shown in 3 coats, paired with 2 thick coats of a glossy top coat. As each coat dries down, the glitters become chunky/textured and require a few generous coats of top coat to smooth the finish over. Formula wasn't my favourite to work with but the end result is absolutely gorgeous!!
