F.U.N Lacquer Pay Day – Swatch
Another indie swatch for today! This is the gorgeous Pay Day by F.U.N Lacquer, a longtime lemming.

When viewing my hand from a distance, it almost looks like silver mirror Minx. That's just how reflective this polish is. I received several compliments while wearing this! That's more than usual for a solid, plain mani @_@ (Sounds pretty sad, but true.)

F.U.N Lacquer Pay Day
Price: $15, from Llarowe (the actual site appears to be down)
Size: 0.4 fl oz • 12 mL ($37.5/fl oz)
Color: Silver/champagne, depending on the light
Finish: Extremely shiny foil/metallic; nearly mirror. Or crushed, shiny side of foil.
Application: No issues whatsoever!
Opacity: These pictures depict 4 thin coats with Essie All In One Base, an Elmer's glue base, and no topcoat. As simply brushing the polish on tended to sweep away the flakies, I often pressed the side of the brush to the nail to "pat" on the flakies. That worked very well! 3 coats was probably enough to achieve full opacity, though.
Brush/bottle: Soft bristles, with a clear wider side. The bottle itself isn't the most unique, but it's certainly elegant with the logo in gold print.
+ : Lives up to its luxury moniker. So reflective! The sterling silver works magic in this shade.
– : It does take a lot of coats to really build up that shininess, but that's just about it for a downside. Totally worth it.

If the earlier pictures weren't enough to convince you of its mirror-like quality, here's one that shows the blue reflecting off my waterbottle. Most reflective polish I've ever seen... I can finally cross a long-term lemming off my list!
Next up: spring/Easter manicure. Potentially featuring yet another new indie polish? ;)
Thanks for reading!
