Volume 6 Swatches and Review

Wildflower Lacquer’s August 2022 monthly pre-order is about to open with six new polishes, including the 5th Annual Alzehimer’s Awareness Polish, Indah 2.0, and Up a Creek: Volume 6, a quad inspired by Schitt’s Creek. Each polish is priced at $13 individual, and the full quad can be had for $50. The pre-order opens on August 24 at noon CDT and closes at noon CDT on August 27. If you have your eye on these, be sure to purchase during the pre-order, as most releases now are one-time-only. Let’s have a look!

First of all, formula notes, since these are similar. Wildflower Lacquer is quick drying with a nice formual and more opaque than most indie polish, usually drying to a matte or satin finish. I wore it with top coat for smoothness and shine. 

Wildflower Lacquer Grandma’s Garden is the 5th Annual Alzheimer’s Awareness Polish. This is an topic close to my heart, as I have two close relatives in end-stage dementia. Taylor, the maker, has had relatives suffer from this illness, inspiring the series. The polish this year is inspired by Taylor’s grandmother’s love of gardening and tomatoes. $5 from each sale goes to Pearl’s Memory Babies. The polish is a green-turquoise with red-gold-green multichrome iridescent shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats. 

Wildflower Lacquer Indah 2.0 is a re-release of a polish originally launched in 2020. It is a royal purple with strong red-gold-green multichrome iridescent shimmer and holo shimmer. I wore this in three thin coats, but two will cover.

Now for the Up a Creek: Volume 6 Quad

Wildflower Lacquer David + Patrick is a navy-blue-black with holo microflakes and green-blue-purple multichrome iridescent shimmer. The shimmer is on the subtle side, so this mostly comes across as a flake-based holo. I wore it in two thin coats, but it may be a one-coater if you are careful.

Wildflower Lacquer I’m Stupid is a rich magenta with very strong purple-pink-orange multichrome iridescent large-particle shimmer. This one seriously glows! I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover.

Wildflower Lacquer Lick Rust! is a green-gray-brown base with super-strong red-orange-gold-green-blue multichrome iridescent large particle shimmer. This one is super metallic, pretty much foiled, and the shift is strong in all lighting conditions! I wore it in two thin coats. 

Wildflower Lacquer Moira Rosé is a baby pink jelly with red-gold-green multichrome iridescent crystal flakes. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover.

Now for live swatches!
