We're All Mad Here - Takko Lacquer

This post has been a LONG time coming. Oh boy, I have tried to photograph Takko Lacquer's 'We're All Mad Here' so many times, but it is a gorgeous little ratbag to photograph accurately. Anyway, here we go, finally with the post.

The beauty of 'We're All Mad Here' is ridiculous. Such a complex polish. That's why it's taken me so long to put up photographs.

'We're All Mad Here' is an intense royal blue/blurple that is so saturated and eye-catching. In these photos, you can see VNL (visible nail line), but in real life you couldn't. The shimmer is similar to what is in 'Kiss The Sky', so it has that gorgeous shift from red through to yellow and green. You can sort of see the green shift in my middle finger in the bottom photo.

This close-up shows the flakes that really make this polish magical. They are what makes 'We're All Mad Here' so unique and just plain spectacular.


'We're All Mad Here' has a lovely formula to work with. It is fairly thick, but dries really fast. I used 4 coats here because of my camera picking up VNL, but I think if I wasn't taking photos 3 coats would be enough. The slight sheerness of the blue is what allows the flakes to be so visible and also gives the polish that jelly sandwich appearance where the flakes look as if they're floating.


Takko lacquer is available from a few different places now. Keep an eye out for when Sheryl restocks her shop, otherwise you may be able to find Takko Lacquers at Llarowe, Mei Mei's Signature and Edgy Polish. Also Sheryl has just released her new collection. Take a look at her inspiration boards on the Takko Lacquer blog and you may start seeing a couple of them pop up around here shortly ;)
