Top Shelf Lacquer - After A Spring Rain Wax Melts (June Polish Pickup)


It's me, again.

While I know my nail polish obsession is pretty apparent, did all y'all also know that I am equally as addicted to wax melts? There's just something so cozy about my house smelling how I feel.

Top Shelf Lacquer is one of my favourite polish brands that also makes wax melts and I have been melting Amy's blends for a while and am so impressed with the throw and longevity of the wax.




After a Spring Rain is an in-house blend of fresh cut grass and garden greens with a hint of mint for a refreshing kick.  It has undertones of spring flowers and sandalwood for some added warmth.

After melting this wax, grass blends have shot up to the top of my list of favourite things to melt during the summer.  I have always been a fruity summer melter but the scent here is just so stereotypically summer that I feel like this will be my go-to blend for the season.  My husband, who is very vocally adverse to anything floral, quite liked this scent as well (so much that he had put in his own cube yesterday while I was working.....that's how I know he loves it).


I added a block of 'After a Spring Rain' to an already hot warmer and the wax melted within five minutes. Within 2-3 minutes I was starting to get the throw, and by the 15-20 minute mark it was obvious throughout our home.  I left the wax in for close to 50 hours before changing it and I felt like there was still life left in the scent.

These melts are 2.7oz and retail for $4.50USD.  No cap is planned.

Top Shelf Lacquer - I'm Only Happy When It Rains (June Polish Pickup Exclusive)



Hi everyone!

It's been a while again but when I come back, I always come back with a doozy!  Today is PPU day and I have Top Shelf Lacquer's exclusive for the month based on the theme of weather.  Amy, the brand owner, took a little liberty (which I love when it happens) and based this month's colour on the 90s song 'I'm Only Happy When It Rains' by Garbage.  This is a picture heavy post, so I'll get to it.




This polish is described as having a cool minty base, with a pink and blue shimmer, illusion flakes, and glass fleck.  I absolutely love the base colour for this polish.  Depending on lighting and skin tone, it can lean more green or blue.  I would describe it as the same kind of colour you would see in a glacier lake.  The flakes and shimmer and fleck (glass fleck is my hands down favourite finish) just add so much dimension.




I used three really thin coats for full coverage of my nails.  It has a creme-jelly base, so my recommendation is to allow each coat to slightly dry before adding the next coat to prevent any dragging. Amy has really perfected her formula for this type of polish and it quite literally stayed exactly where I put it before spreading over the nail. For me, it dried slightly demi-matte so I added a glossy quick dry top coat to make the shimmer, flakes, and fleck just pop.



'I'm Only Happy When It Rains' will be available from Polish Pickup starting today, June 7th and run until Monday, June 10th. It is not capped and will cost $13USD.


See you all there!
