Hey y’all! Today I have a blog post for a new charity polish from Leesha’s Lacquer. In case it wasn’t clear by the title, this polish is to bring some awareness to the severe uptick in violence that is plaguing the Asian American and Pacific Islander community here in the US. It needs to stop and we can all take part!
100% of the proceeds from the sale of this polish will be going to the AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) Community Fund. This will only be available for the month of April. As always, I will have all of the sale details and links at the end of this post.
Leesha’s Lacquer is a US based indie brand. Their polishes are handmade, 5 free, vegan and cruelty free.
#StopAsianHate
Description: a bright blue jelly polish with silver holographic shimmer and silver holographic micro flakies.
Price: $11 for 15ml
#StopAsianHate had a great jelly formula. It didn’t feel too thick or too thin and it applies very evenly. The glitters are very small so they spread out evenly without needing to do anything special. This is so sparkly in person!
This polish was very difficult to get color accurate! I found it photographed more blue than it appears in person. I did try color correcting my photos in order to get it to show what I was seeing in person but I still feel like it is a just a hair more turquoise-y in person than what my camera was picking up.
I used 3 coats to build this up. It is on the sheer side so there will be some VNL. Alternatively, this could be used as a topper or worn over a blurring base coat. It does dry down a little dull so you will want a nice glossy top coat.
Nothing in here dries textured or will be too difficult to remove. I didn’t experience any staining with this polish.
