The Neverending Pile Challenge: The Lady Varnishes Lothlorien

The product in this post was purchased by me. All opinions are my own.

Happy Friday! I have another pretty swatch for you today from an indie I've been admiring for a long time. For today's Neverending Pile prompt, green, I wore The Lady Varnishes Lothlorien. I mean, Galadriel is one of my favorite characters from The Lord of the Rings, so I basically HAD to buy this polish, right?

(Apologies for the lobster hands!)


The Lady Varnishes Lothlorien. Three coats with no topcoat.


Lothlorien is a minty/seafoamy green matte polish with silver and gold microglitter and green shimmer. This color is exactly up my alley--very dreamy and magical, just like the elves! As you can see, it's fairly sheer, as my nail lines are still visible under three coats. The formula was thick but manageable, but not 100% self-leveling. The polish dried slightly gritty due to the tiny particles in it. Dry time was nice and fast, always great for a matte.

I wore this polish with a topcoat too, and I think I actually prefer it this way because it lets the shimmer really pop!


The Lady Varnishes Lothlorien. Three coats with Out the Door topcoat.


Lothlorien is available at The Lady Varnishes' Etsy shop ($11 for 15 ml)!


Total untrieds tried: 63 + chevron decals + 3 stamping plates

  1. That is a pretty color. I love the gold sheen to it. Wish it didn't show the nail line though even after three coats.
