I became acquainted with LAQA & Co when the brand was first included in birchboxes, but no matter how many times I crossed my fingers and toes, I was never lucky enough to get my hands on a sample. Finally, I had the opportunity to try some of their best-selling products – classic nail polish in NewFangled and nail polish pen in Tweedledee, – and they didn’t disappoint!

BRAND OVERVIEW

“LAQA & Co. is a New York based cosmetic brand that’s about more than just beauty. They began with the Nail Polish Pen – high gloss nail lacquer in a pen, so you can easily do your nails anywhere in just a few clicks. And followed up with the Fat Lip Pencil, a glossy lip pencil in a handy jumbo pencil – that needs no sharpener. LAQA & Co covers their packaging in unique artwork by young artists looking to get their work seen by lots and lots of people. And the Artists get a cut of the profit from every product purchased. So spread the word!”

NewFangled looked baby blue creme in the bottle, but once I painted my nails and let the color set, it turned out slightly darker, almost a forget-me-not blue. The wand and the handle are both long and slim, making it really easy to apply the polish. Slightly runny formula goes on evenly and almost without streaks. Don’t let the thin consistency fool you, because the color is packed with pigment: two thin coats were more than enough for complete opacity. The artwork for the box was created by Grégoire Guillemin [NSFW].

Tweedledee is a darling pastel coral peach creme, absolutely perfect for Spring! Have any of you tried using a nail polish pen before? I have not, and this was a very new experience, certainly something I first have to get used to, because the application is just so different. Initially I had to click about 10 times for the polish to show up, but after that I used 2-3 clicks per finger per coat. In the swatches above I’m wearing three coats of nail polish and a top coat. The formula is a bit thick and a little streaky, or maybe it was just me not being used to this type of product. I think the idea behind this polish pen is genius, because it’s really easy to apply on the go and there’s no mess. I personally still prefer the traditional bottles, but this pen would be nice to fix any nail chipping right on the spot. The artwork for the box was created by Paul Price.

LAQA & Co. is all about making their products convenient, and what can be more convenient than Polish Remover Pads? These little thin rounds are soaked in oily polish remover to quickly and effectively remove all traces of even the most stubborn formulas, and the size is compact enough to carry around in your purse. I used one pad per hand, but probably could have easily used one for both to get the same results.
