Lumina Lacquer Mick Or Treat

My pal Jenna has been telling me that I had to try out some Lumina Lacquer polishes, so I finally snapped up two polishes from the brand earlier this month, one of which was the Halloween glitterbomb, Mick Or Treat. This glittering grab bag of a polish has it all: circle glitter, crescent moon-shaped glitter, star glitter and even holographic Mickey Mouse-shaped glitter, along with festive pops of orange, yellow and red. I think there is even supposed to be some pumpkin-shaped glitter in here somewhere, although I didn't find any this time around. This is two coats over MiniLuxe Lynnfield.


I absolutely love this polish and the Mickey Mouse glitter is such a fun touch! It makes an already kick-ass polish something special. I had to fish a lot to grab one of the Mickeys (you can see it on my ring finger), but I was determined to get one on my brush! Even without the Mickeys though, there is plenty of glittery fall goodness here to keep you happy. It was a lot of fun applying this polish because I couldn't wait to see what type of glitter would come out of the bottle next--and the excellent formula certainly didn't hurt either!

I'm planning on wearing Mick Or Treat as my Halloween mani and I can't wait to wear it again. I'll probably do it over a light base next time, just to see how it compares. As for Lumina Lacquer, I'm totally hooked!

You can purchase Lumina Lacquer from their website.

MiniLuxe Luxe Polish: Review & Swatches


MiniLuxe is a nail and beauty bar company with locations throughout Boston. They also have their very own line of polish, Luxe, and I've got two of their newest fall shades to share today!

MiniCure is a delicate pale pink, although it pulls almost nude on pale ole' me, Casper the Friendly Nail Blogger. This is a classically beautiful shade that makes for an excellent palette cleanser. It's soft but has a fantastic amount of shine to it too. Sometimes sheers can get a little goopy after applying multiple coats, but not this one! It applies wonderfully and can be built up to full opacity in four coats.

All net proceeds from the sale of MiniCure go to The Ellie Fund, a Massachusetts non-profit organization that provides services like grocery delivery, transportation to medical appointments and childcare free of charge to breast cancer patients and their families.


Lynnfield is a deep oxblood red. I love a good autumn oxblood and Lynnfield is seriously perfect! Deep reds like this are one of my go-to's for fall. Lynnfield applies a little streaky at first, but evens out at three coats.


These are both great staple shades and I had a lot of fun with my first Luxe experience! You can check out MiniLuxe's website to learn more about the brand!
