'Tis the Season for holiday polish!
This is my first installation on a series of holiday polish hauls. I've taken the plunge into the realm of indie polish this year. I've been mostly a mainstream gal myself; I guess I've always preferred instant gratification to waiting for polishes in the mail haha.
One of the main brands that I've been interested in is Nine Zero Lacquer by Jess from Jessface90 on Youtube. Her collections have been amazing! I have today to review her Thanksgiving trio and one polish from her Holiday collection.
First from the Thanksgiving trio is called Turkey Coma. This is a beautiful bronzey almost rose gold-y linear holographic. It did come out sheer on the first coat, but builds up nicely and is opaque in two coats. My nail line is slightly visible, but I think if the coats were applied more thickly, it would eliminate that.
Photo with flash. Unfortunately in the days I wore this polish it was super rainy, cold and cloudy. :(
Second is called Cranberry Sauced. This is a scattered holographic in a berry jelly base. Formula is really nice, but after a little bit of use got a little bit chunky on the brush. It is super beautiful and wears wonderfully.
Closer up shot in indoor lighting.
Shot with flash. It kind of drowned out the holo though.
Shot with lowlight.
Macro shot of the scattered holographic.
Lastly, in the Thanksgiving trio is Stuffed. This is probably my favorite out of the trio, but it is definitely the hardest to photograph - at least with my cell phone camera. It would focus to the point that it eliminated the shimmer of the holo. I tried my best to capture it though!
This and Cranberry Sauced both dried slightly gritty and the topcoat did smooth it out, yet it settled down in the glitter so it wasn't exactly a smooth finish for me. You'd probably have to apply two coats of topcoat to get the smooth finish, but I'm ok with the slightly textured finish.

Shot in lowlight. Definitely looks like stuffing here!
Macro shot of Stuffed. What. Is. Life. This is absolutely stunning!
I took this picture while at work. The camera had to be out of focus to capture the shimmer.
Shot in my car on a cloudy day. Still can't see the beautiful holo shimmer!
Lastly, and as a little bonus, I have Twinkle Lights. I think this was probably the most popular polish of the holiday collection, which is absolutely stunning. I tried to limit myself, so I just picked up this one. She's a stunner for sure!
It is a silver linear holographic with red, blue, yellow and green see-through hex glitters. Dries pretty smooth and the formula is great. It is pretty sheer, so the pictures below are three coats.
Finally got a picture in sunlight!
Here's a couple with indoor lighting. Although the holo is kind of subtle in the photos, it is pretty prominent in person.

And finally, the macro shots! These are my favorite!
I know this post is a little late, but I completely forgot about the launch and when I remembered 40 minutes late, Twinkle lights was already sold out! Luckily there was a restock but I didn't get them in time for Thanksgiving. They were delivered the Friday after. Still, these are absolutely stunning, and I'm sure the rest of the collection is just as amazing! They also came with a bag of the most adorable Christmas confetti too!
