FAT Lacquers Pizza Night bases

Grayson started crawling recently so I've had my hands full lately! Anyways I have the bases from FAT Lacquers newest Pizza Night collection! Warning: I love them all haha. The toppings will come soon! All swatches are topped with FAT Lacquers Drive Through top coat.

White Sauce Weirdo

Okay I love pizza with white sauce! And I love this polish, it's so perfect! Swatch shows 2 coats of the most perfect cream polish ever with topcoat.

The green glitters are holo so there's a touch of sparkle in there!

Words cannot express my love for this haha.

Saucy Saucy

This red is...gorgeous! And I don't like red polishes! It's so sexy. Basically this is a red that says I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat.

Here's an on the nail macro, not sure where my bottle shot got to but this'll have to do. 

Ice Cold Brewsky

This is a gorgeous yellow jelly! Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat. No macro on this bad boy because it's just a jelly!

Perfectly Crispy Crust

Can we all just admire this nude polish? Take it all in. This is my new favorite nude. It didn't even get put in my indie drawer, it went straight to the nail supply drawer which is where my favorite white, black, and nudes are kept. This one joins OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls and OPI Samoan Sands. Swatch shows 2 coats with topcoat.

This nude has small darker flecks in it so it makes it the standout.

Don't Forget The Cherry Cola

Typically browns aren't my thing but I'm digging this one. The shimmer in it is crazy intense. Swatch shows 2 coats with topcoat. 

Check it out, doesn't it remind you of cherry soda? That's what I thought of before even hearing the name! 

Buffalo Wings

I personally don't like actual buffalo wings but I'll gladly wear them on my nails! And man this is exactly what it looks like! Swatch shows 3 coats with topcoat. 

Flakies and shimmer and amazing. Love! 

The Quick and Dirty: I love this half of the collection so much! No formula issues or anything else to report. They all represent a pizza night perfectly. 

Battle of the topcoats!

So today I have a battle of my favorite topcoats for you. I compared the nail girl holy grail Seche Vite, Rica's Glossy Glam,  lesser well known Poshé, and FAT Lacquers Drive Through! 

I started with one coat of FAT Lacquers Appetizer (reviewed in Battle Of the Basecoats), two coats of ELF Thunderstorm, two coats of Femme Fetale Cosmetics Party Grenade and two coats of each topcoat. All tips of nails were wrapped with topcoat. 

Day 1

I chose to add glitter to see how smooth each topcoat would get the pointy ends of the diamond glitter. 

Day 2

Where it looks like tip wear on my pointer finger is actually where I smooshed the polish feeding Grayson shortly after taking the Day 1 picture. Apparently that's the finger that gets smooshed because I did the same thing to the same finger in my base coat battle haha. 

Day 3

Ahh day 3. You've finally shown you're age manicure. You can see that Glossy Glam did a weird pulling away thing at the base of my nail that it did in day 2 also but other than that remained perfect. Poshé did okay, but it has dulled a little bit since day 1 which I find is typical for poshé and was also the only one that bubbled. My Seche finger has a little bit of tip wear and chipped at the base of my nail. My Drive Though finger still looks perfect though! 

I decided to rate each topcoat based on a few categories, with 5 being amazing and 1 being terrible. Dry time is good if its dry enough to not stick to my other fingers by the time I've walked outside to take my picture. Smear test is based on my own experience with each topcoat. To me, the absence of smell is the main thing I look for in a topcoat so a 5 means the smell is negligible. 

FAT Lacquers Drive Through 

Dry time: 4

Smell: 5

Smear test: 5

Gloss: 4

Smoothing factor: 5

Seche

Dry time: 5

Poshé

Dry time: 4

Smear test: 4

Gloss: 2 - dulls after a few days of wear

Glossy Glam

All in all, I love FAT Lacquers Drive Through. It's free of all the nasties that are in Seche so for me that is a huge plus, and on top of that it doesn't make your house smell like a nail salon when you open the bottle. It dries fairly quickly for me and holds up pretty well! If you're looking for a topcoat that is free of harsh chemicals I strongly suggest you give Drive Through a try.
