Three New Maya Cosmetics Lacquers

I last showed you some Maya Cosmetics nail lacquers in a December post and recently got a few more for review. Here they are!

This little thing is called Sugar Rush, a polish with a pale pink base, pastel pink, white, and medium pink microspeckley matte glitter. Very interesting finish, I don't think I have another one like this. Pretty decent formula, opaque coverage in two coats. This dries satiny so if you want it shiny paint on a nice coat of topcoat. I think this would be perfect for Valentine's Day!

Next is Graceless Lady, a darkish slate grey blue polish with lots of holo bits. The holo is on the subdued side and I wouldn't call it a glitter, but more of a shimmer. It's a chic shade with a little kick of sass. This is two coats, fabulous formula. And it's quite shiny!

And my favorite of the three, Flyin' Solo. It has a clear base with small silvery gunmetal hexes, black shards, large red and black hearts, and blue/purple iridescent shards. I wasn't sold on this at first but after I layered it over Graceless Lady, I fell in love. The red hearts are metallic which was a nice change and pop out orangey at certain angles. The blue flakes are what make this polish special though, I think. Very surprising and fun! This is two coats.

You can buy Maya Cosmetics polish at their website, which is currently under construction. It will be back online February 10th but you can sign up to get notified when it's back up. You can keep up with their restocks and new products on their Facebook page and their blog. Do any of these catch your eye?

A Few Polishes from Maya Cosmetics

Hi friends! I have another indie polish brand that is new-to-me to show off today. Maya Cosmetics is a husband and wife team that offers unique, hand-blended nail lacquers made with cosmetic-grade pigments and glitters.

Like a Boss, which is one of my favorite sayings ever, is described as a delicate peachy-pink nude with subtle scattered holo. This is a great band-aid-but-better shade for me, very close to my skin tone with a pretty subdued holo shimmer. This is three coats.

Redemption is from the January collection called the Crescent City Collection and all the polishes are New Orleans-themed. It's for the New Orleans Saints fans out there, and even though I don't follow any sports I can appreciate the color combination the team has as it makes a lovely polish. This is two coats of the glitter polish over a black base. This has black glitter in micro and small sizes, with larger gold hexes and holo white/silver squares and hexes. Very fun and yay for team spirit!

Treme is also from the Crescent City collection, named after a neighborhood in New Orleans that is known for its brass bands and mixed culture. I love this so much, it's really gorgeous in real life. It's base glitter color is a brassy champagne and the rest of the glitters are in varying shades. The "mardi gras" colors of purple, green, and gold are all represented nicely. This is three coats. I again stress how beautiful this is, I am really intrigued by it.

Maya Cosmetics is sold on the website http://www.maya-cosmetics.com/ for $9 each. Like a Boss is available now and the other two were sold in a pre-order last month but will be available for sale in January. What do you think about these polishes? Have you tried anything from Maya yet?
