On to the formula... 'Wanderlust' is surprisingly opaque, which was unexpected for me, considering how well the shimmer comes through. I needed only two coats for full opacity, though I have to admit I have three on most of these fingers as my left hand decided not to play nicely in the polishing of them and I had to fix the cuticle area with the third coat! 'Wanderlust' is fairly thick and for the last coat I actually added just a couple of drops of thinner (definitely not a biggie though).
I just have to take a quick second to say that the customer service that Sheryl provides is genuinely fantastic. I had a minor problem with a previous order and I just emailed her to let her know. She replied quickly and was so lovely about it and the problem was quickly rectified. I really appreciate this level of service and it makes this brand just that much more appealing.
Takko Lacquer is available from Sheryl's Etsy store. All the polishes are vegan, 3-free and not tested on animals. Check out Takko Lacquer blog for updates on restocks etc.

I'm a takko lacquer whore!!! I think Sheryl uses the blue-green colour shifting pigment for the shimmer in her polishes and that's why it appears different at various angles. I agree that her customer service is amazing! I'm just waiting for her to come out with a new collection so I can buy more!!! Do you have the nude one? It's the only one I'm missing because I didn't think it compliment my skintone so i'd love to see how it looks on you
ReplyDeleteI don't have it... I'm missing a few but I think I'm going to have to make the leap because I've been nothing but happy-as-Larry with the ones I have. If you look on her blog, she has a new collection coming up soon!!! I can't wait to see it. I'm sure it will be gorgeous too. My wallet is currently cowering in the corner at the thought of it ;)
DeleteOh my goodness, that is JAW droppingly beautiful! I have this one on my wishlist but I think I now need to move it up a bunch! I've been in love with all the Takko Lacquers but unfortunately I think they're a little pricey ._. Your pictures of Wanderlust are definitely the best I've seen!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Mimi. I think this was one of the easiest polishes I've ever photographed, the shimmer is just that obvious! Yea they are a bit pricey, but to be honest not much more than a lot of the glitters etc on llarowe and SO pretty :)
DeleteI rarely buy those either, too pricey for me! ^_^ That's one by product of having access to drugstore polishes, I find it hard to fork over more dollars for indies, even though some of them are absolutely amazing!
DeleteYea I have to be honest, every time I buy one of these I think to myself that I spend $10 more than that on an OPI so I'd much rather buy the indies (hence my rather large indie stash these days) :D
DeleteWow, this is really gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes it truly is!!! :)
DeleteThis is just absolutely gorgeous!! Going straight to the wishlist!
ReplyDeleteGood idea Jacqui! Usual story, it's even better in real life! It's amazing!! :)
DeleteOmg, SO gorgeous! I die a little bit every time I see a swatch of this because it's just so damn pretty!
ReplyDeleteOne way to fix that is to get it!! Haha sorry I am a good enabler!!! But it is gorgeous :)
DeleteOh hohohoho! I need this in my life!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes you do! xx
DeleteWow, this is crazy pretty. I haven't tried takko lacquer yet, but I've been hearing good things about it so far.
ReplyDeleteThanks and yea so far I've been so happy with the Takko Lacquer. You should definitely try them. I have a couple more that I bought, which are really pretty too :)
