Tawdry Terrier Autumn in the Barkshires Select Shades...

Today I would like to show you a swatches of a few shades from the Tawdry Terrier Autumn in the Barkshires Fall collection. Tawdry Terrier is a new indie polish brand which launched this Summer and I'm very excited to get the chance to try them out. Tawdry Terrier lacquers are handmade, Big5Free and cruelty free...


Harvest Moon Possum Hunt
A shimmery brown with gold holographic glitter sprinkled in. It has a very nice formula and was easy to apply. Two coats provide full coverage as you see below. The photos don't quite capture the sparkle of this. It does dry a bit gritty with the glitter, so a good layer of top coat is needed. I really love this this one...

Howling at the Moon
A shimmery blue with silver holographic glitter. The formula on this one is similar to the one above, very easy to work with and apply. Two coats provide complete coverage. This also dries slightly gritty due to the glitter, but nothing that a good top coat can't take care of. I'm a fan of blue so this is a definite winner in my book. Once again the photos don't do enough to show off the beautiful sparkle of the glitter...

Poke-A-Nose Purple
A shimmery purple with purple, orange and red hex glitter. It has great distribution of glitter in each brush stroke and is easy to apply. At one coat, it was perfect, but as I started layering multiple coats it began looking lumpy. I'm not sure if this is because of the way the shimmer reflects the light, but I couldn't get it looking smooth. Next time I will try layering one coat of it over a similar purple base because I love the color and the glitter and I just saw these pretty layered swatches by Icy Nails and it looks beautiful layered. I have three coats of the polish here...
