Trying Cadillacquer Nail Polish Review & Swatches! (Small Brand Sunday!) || KELLI MARISSA

[@KelliMarissa]

I made the background music a touch louder than usual for today's video 👀 what are your thoughts? Should I keep it a little louder like this so you can hear it or is it distracting??

[@aerocoaster3252]

No, the music is super annoying.

[@cherrybomb1386]

I dont care for the music. For me its distracting.

[@hoopyfroodlass]

The music was a little distracting to be honest!

[@glossbones]

It is distracting imo 🙊

[@Nicorleans]

I didn’t care for it. Made me wonder if I had some other sound playing from another app!

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

This brand proves why I love indie polish businesses. These polishes are meant to be loved!

[@KelliMarissa]

Indies really are just so special!

[@aminamm3103]

FYI for everyone reading this on Monday the 10th, the shade Watson is still available today! The Polish Pickup shop will close tonight 😊

[@laurelloaf]

Literally went to the comments to see if anyone else had mentioned this! Polish Pickup is a limited edition monthly indie collab site that’s open the first weekend of every month, for anyone who doesn’t know. It’s a little confusing at first, but if you really love the shade Watson, you have I think about 21.5 hours left to buy it from the time I’m posting this comment! 🙂

[@twirly_yuu]

I came to see if someone mentioned this 😆 UK folk, there's a separate UK store which is also still open today but I believe also closes tomorrow, so hurry! 😊

[@KelliMarissa]

Ahh great timing for the video haha! I didn't even realize that was this weekend 😋

[@laurenjones7914]

That one was my favorite!

[@JPiplup77]

Ok, I’m officially going to check out Polish Pickup now. Can’t believe I’ve waited this long. Obviously gonna get Watson. Any other recommendations from this month’s options?

[@debbiewilliams9113]

It struck me that 'illuminate' is like an Autumn day - grey sky with russet leaves falling 🍂☁️.

[@nickspolish]

i’m happy to see you trying cadillaquer! they’re really popular on PPU every month and they seem really well loved! i’ve wanted to try this brand but haven’t taken the plunge lol

[@KelliMarissa]

Definitely worth trying in my opinion!! They're stunning!

[@xpresson6338]

I buy her PPU polishes and never been disappointed. Madelaine has such an eye for color combinations and finishes. Really stunning polishes IMO

[@Amber-SLP]

Kelli, I am HERE for small brand Sunday! I have been wanting to try Cadillacquer for a while, and you have definitely convinced me. Those flakes are amazing, I really liked Wait for Me, When galaxies Collide, Illuminate, and The Dark. Thank you so much for doing this series, I was so pleasantly surprised when the notification came through!

[@xpresson6338]

You'll love her polishes....I have a few of her polishes and they are soooo good.

[@Daisy35]

Dam Nail Polish is my vote for the next Small Brand Sunday! They need more recognition

[@aminamm3103]

Yes! Dam has great formulas and the maker is super nice!

[@KelliMarissa]

I'll check them out for sure! I like to take time to test each brand so keep an eye out in the future 😋

[@kayh9090]

Agree!!

[@kyndramb7050]

Yes! I love them!

[@HairbySmash]

Omg totally!! I’m obsessed with everything she makes.

[@mmay9082]

Cadillacquer has been a secrecy favorite of mine. Alchemy Lacquer and Potion Polish do some fun, unique combos too. Noodles Nail Lacquer will absolutely fit into your desire for jelly glitters!

[@Genista18]

Hey Kelli it’s absolutely great that you’re doing this series. I fell down the indie rabbit hole a little over a year ago and I think these makers do such amazing work and I love that you chose to use your huge platform to support them! You’re a beautiful soul inside and out imo. Keep being your lovely self💯🥰💅🏽 Also Watson should be available till tomorrow on PPU.

[@KelliMarissa]

I think I've spent long enough focusing only on the mainstream brands haha! I'm glad I can give some love to the brands that really made me fall in love with the best hobby ever - nail polish 😋 and thanks for the info on PPU! Great timing for the video to come out lol!!

[@bryghtfaery7]

I love your Small Brand Sundays! As someone who buys mostly Indie Polishes, it is fun to see brands that I love being spotlighted! I actually love the background music today! It is jazzy and cool! I think my favorites are The Dark, Getting Stronger, Wait for Me, and Illuminate. Those last two are definitely checking my Autumn polish vibes I am feeling right now!

[@JennSterner07]

Oh! I love Cadillacquer. Such an amazing brand! So glad to see you try them out.

[@KelliMarissa]

It's so good!

[@devilishdollie]

“The Dark” SCREAMS Winifred Sanderson! So beautiful!

[@mnn-np5li]

I so appreciate how much thought, research, and testing you do for these instead of just a reacting-as-you-go vibe. Nail polish can get pretty expensive, so it's nice to trust your judgement and reviews before buying. I've been introduced to so many new brands from your videos and never disappointed when I do buy.

[@hoopyfroodlass]

When Galaxies Collide, Getting Stronger, and Reaching for the Stars are gorgeous, and The Dark is another great green. Need!

[@KelliMarissa]

They're even prettier in person if you can believe it!

[@birdlovespaint]

Love the cactus garden! So happy for you!

[@animeboy892]

I love Cadillacquer! I discovered them because they are a part of a monthly nail polish group call polish pickup. A brand I think you might also like is Night Owl Lacquer.

[@rachelcakes3929]

I love to see you trying more indie brands. Cadillacquer is one of my favorites. I love their formulas. Thanks for the review.

[@anastasiaseros6009]

Hi Kelli. The music is not distracting at all; it’s very easy to hear your voice in your descriptions. I was wowed by this brand. When you post all your swatches at the end, which btw I really love, I found myself loving every single one of them. I especially like the white crellies with the flakes in them. They look very elegant and will definitely check out their rest of their polishes. Thanks for the review 😊

[@saragillihan484]

I have 2 Cadillacquer polishes, both are thermal crellies! One has a base color that is navy when cold, and cobalt when warm with various sizes of matte, red hex glitters. The other has a base that is violet-purple when cold and light lavender when warm packed with various iridescent flakies. I can't remember the names, and they are not on my seasonal nail rack right now, so I didn't dig them out. They were both purchased through Polish Pickup within the last 3 years, so I think that they would be nearly impossible to find. I love them so much! This is my favorite series of yours! Keep on showing us fabulous indie polishes!!!!

[@riverAmazonNZ]

Stunner after stunner. Talk about raising the bar! It makes me want a grey crelly with strong red shimmer, tiny black and white speckle and a sprinkle of holo. I wonder if that exists? That’s what I’d make. These are so inspiring!

[@marissach]

These are super unique and sparkly. I'm loving Small Brand Sunday.

[@dawnkozlowski9788]

Squishy sheerness. I love the way you describe polishes, Kelli

[@Annie_kb]

Yay for checking out Cadillacquer! I’ve just grabbed some myself and I love them.

[@scg9895]

I love caddilaquer. I have six bottles. I'm going to love your small brand series. Thank you for doing it!

[@courttramm]

If they do it in Vegas again next year, you should check out the Polish and Dreams expo. They have a lot of indie makers get together to sell polishes. They also have meet and greets and workshops and other fun things. Hoping I can make it there next year!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh I definitely want to try to go next year!

[@Elizabeth-uu5tv]

Thank you for reviewing Cadillaquer! I absolutely love this brand - from the packaging to the formulas and the quality of the flakes. I have about a dozen polishes from the brand and none have disappointed me. My favorite polishnis Nothing Stays the Same, a green thermal with black and coppery glitters and flakes.

[@lesfibresfantastiques7265]

That first one took my breath away! I love love love cadilaquer!

[@KelliMarissa]

I'm really falling in love with them now too!!

[@dishfish2]

Finally! It's great to see you feature more European brands. Looking forward to you covering more in the future.

[@kathleenwheeler5573]

Loving this series. So glad to see you reviewing indies!

[@amybourget6046]

I am really enjoying this series. I love to try different brands. I love how different they are. The combos are so gorgeous and unique.

[@rikie7599]

I've loved Cadillacquer for years! The polishes from their christmas advent calendar last year were absolutely gorgeous, but overall I'd actually recommend them for their thermal polishes. The one called Aviva has got to be my all time favourite!

[@tash1506]

They do the best thermals I've ever found. They always last so long for me too, where other brands have lost the shift much faster

[@echobend6]

Wow this is my favorite swatch video you’ve done! What a cool brand! A lot of the colors look like nail art all on their own. I am loving this video concept. I only ever wear gel polish but I absolutely love watching swatch videos especially when the colors are so unique and interesting and beautiful. Love!

[@ruheavenbound]

I loved them all but "Maybe We'll Learn to Be Kind" is my favorite. Thank you for always swatching on your nails and not on swatch sticks.

[@Jinkun2702]

I've been curious about this brand for about a month now. So glad you reviewed!

[@skyefirenails]

OMG SURPRISE! I'm so happy you posted this video! Much love! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lyleiamanaya]

Wow Reaching for the Stars is INCREDIBLE

[@rumsthatsme]

Thanks so much for bringing indie brand to your viewers. It's really sweet that huge influencer like you promotes small brands. If you are buying these polishes yourself all the more props to you

[@kristinaw.hvilsom6547]

I love Cadillacquer ❤️ They make really unique polishes.

[@Aiden-V2.0]

Wait for Me, Illuminate, and The Dark are stunniiiiiing. So glad you're doing this new series.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay I'm glad you're liking it so far!!

[@rossjones1530]

Oh my god, “The Dark” is a perfect black opal nail!

[@cerddoriaeth21]

This is amazing! There are some stunning polishes in this lineup!! Thank you for making this series, it’s so cool :)

[@patriciamadigan5366]

Beautiful polishes! I'm a pink kinda gal so that pink reflective polish is my jam, but 'The Dark' is just.. jaw dropping.. I usually don't like grey polish, but these crellies are beautiful. 'Wait for me' and 'Illuminate' scream 'fall' season. Thanks for swatching, Kelli!

[@heliotropegray]

I love this selection of polishes! I think you did a great job showcasing the uniqueness of the brand, and I love the new Small Brand Sunday series!! It's so cool to see new brands and the unique polishes that they make 💜

[@Ladyfish2275]

Love your new series! I was looking for some new brands to try. This will definitely be one. So unique; and beautiful colors 😍 thank you

[@kayannaottaway3381]

I really like that grey and pink one. Super pretty.

[@shweeleigh1616]

Love Cadillacquer! Those reflective polishes are stunning!! Omg, the dark is my fave!

[@scarletswalking28]

Also, I love that you're highlighting indie brands. I'm excited to check out Cadillacquer and I've already got some orders in for AEngland. Thanks for doing this!

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay I can't wait to show ya the next brand!!

[@coopersmommy85]

Cadillacquer makes some of my favorite thermal polishes

[@Typewriters87]

Ah, i love cadillacquer also and also found them through polish pickup! Love these that you’re showcasing!!!

[@hailtothefire_]

Yay I'm glad you're branching out into the more indie brands!

[@XSemperIdem5]

So many beautiful combinations and mixes of glitters and shades 😍

[@swembemmy]

oh my GOODNESS i literally gasped when i saw Illuminate. what a perfect fall shade, like leaves on a stony sidewalk. so cool

[@KelliMarissa]

YESSS exactly what I was thinking!

[@christonalva7032]

I'm absolutely in love with these crelly polishes 😍😍😍 Thank you Kelli for this incredible Swatch review 💕

[@oodleyboo]

Thanks for showing this brand, so impressed with the beautiful colours, and want to buy two for sure

[@karenpukalo8959]

Cadillaquer was the first Indy brand I tried, which got me hooked on Indy brands. I think my favorite is “Keep Smiling”, a very hot pink with bluish purple flakies. It was a their first collection released after COVID started. I love them. They also have some fun thermals.

[@jennifernguyen72]

Hi Kelli, I am super excited for Small Brand Sundays! I've been enjoying Cadillaquer for a long while now and it was so fun to see you swatch them! I'm hoping to see more of my small brand indie favorites. 😄

[@iijellydog]

Realm of power is stunning!

[@katkopinski]

Wait For Me is SO STUNNING! It reminds me of fallen autumn leaves. I also think Illuminate was a standout. I love the idea of Small Brand Sunday, too. I'm definitely learning some new brands

[@ginastevens556]

Dude it’s like you went into my Cadillacquer drawer for this video! Soooo many amazing polishes come from this brand and I love them so much. The Dark is 100% the most unique I own as well, I recently did a manicure with nail art of sea turtles at night hatching on the beach and The Dark was PERFECT for the base, for the starry sky. I didn’t realize looking at the bottle how green it was but it is so amazing. Anyway I’m so glad you’re giving Cadillacquer the love it deserves! Another favorite of mine is Nothing Stays the Same, such a gorgeous thermal green. Perfect for Halloween or summer, so versatile!

[@Neenerella333]

Reaching for the stars and the Gray crellie one with the big copper flakes looks like fall leaves. My two faves.

[@KelliMarissa]

Yessss they really do!!

[@h3art_3y3s]

I’m busy writing a dissertation and this video was just what I needed for a break. I just looked at the pretty colours and zoned out 😅

[@coldnuit]

in europe they are available at nailland! i have 'wait for me' and i absolutely love it. it reminded me soo much of terrazzo tiles and i thought it was so unique i had to get it. and the flakes remind me of autumn leaves too!

[@TheLivingApocalypse]

I clicked so fast! I have 3 by them (Aletsch Glaccier from May PPU, I Don't Know What to Say, and You Were Like Coming Up for Fresh Air) but I'm waiting for a chance to splurge on some more! I really want Wait for Me but I couldn't find it anywhere. Super happy to see you try them!

[@janjancancan6561]

Love small business Sunday! I'd love to see Swamp Gloss. They have super unique glitter polishes ❤️

[@KelliMarissa]

Ooh I'll check them out!

[@purpleir]

I recently got one Cadillacquer (Little things) and I love it. I am definitely getting more!

[@RG_Eph]

Thanks for the review Kelly! I was so excited to know you’d be reviewing them. I’m really interested in this black owned indie brand called Dimension Nails…especially their Arctic collection! Would love to see your review because the cremes look really nice. Also another brand I’ve been eyeing is Flora 1761…their aesthetic is floral and it’s really pretty!

[@emme4129]

Oh I had no idea the polishes were so magical. I always see them on Femme Fatale and I think about it but their swatches look chunkier and I'm never sure if it's the brand or if it's that they're wearing four or five coats! Thank you!

[@lulustar1131]

Their thermals are amazing too.

[@JohWong]

Ooh ooh! I just picked up Watson the other day on PPU- super excited to see you swatch that shade. Personally, I think The Dark reminds me of a swampy voodoo witch queen who lives among the purple lotus flowers - but that's me.

[@charitygoza5774]

Hi Kelly, I’ve been watching since 2017 (I am far past my nail polish phase) but I still enjoy your videos. This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen in a while. These colors are so unique and I love all of them! EDIT: OH MY GOD ILLUMINATE AND THE DARK ARE SO PRETTY

[@kyndramb7050]

I love this polish. One of my absolute fave polishes is a flaky/reflective glitter/holo thermal they did for Polish Pickup! So gorgeous!

[@laurabolen4809]

I love Cadillacquer - they have the best combinations. I have a bright warm purple leaning with red glitters...a combo I would never think of.

[@onemooreperson13]

I am loving this series! Thanks for doing it! I like getting introduced to new brands. I really wanna try Reaching For the Stars.

[@KelliMarissa]

Oh yay so happy you're liking it so far!! I hope I can introduce you to more brands you haven't heard of!!

[@lp1506]

Hey Kelli. I love love love these polishes. I don't need any more nail polish because I can't even wear it to work, but I still love it. There's always the weekend and my toes. lol. And I also love your background music. I'm glad you like Ethel M. It's really beautiful when they decorate for Christmas.

[@kayannaottaway3381]

I think that blue one in reverse would look like fire with the blue shining through the oranges, reds and yellow maybe a touch of grey. Lit from within look is my favorite and I love the I think you call them crellies. I don’t have any of those yet. I really like them though

[@nicolelavigne1700]

I love Cadillacquer. I discovered them through Polish Pickup and they absolutely do gorgeous crellies. It's great to see some smaller indie brands on your channel. I LOVE indie polishes and find they have the most unique and interesting polishes.

[@nluther22]

I am so happy to see these indie brands being reviewed on your channel!

[@KelliMarissa]

Me too! I can't wait to share more!

[@littlejoh713]

Wait for me is so stunning! I've lately wanted to do terrazzo manicures, and that one looks like I'd not even have to do anything complicated, just slap in on the nails! 😂

[@anniepursel3716]

Omg I love this series!! These polishes r speechless!!! Love

[@KelliMarissa]

Yay glad you like them too!!

[@TheNailPolishHound]

Great series, loved the first crellie.

[@lucasvancanneyt6213]

I love little things, the grey and hot pink combo is so interesting !

[@KelliMarissa]

Such a pretty combo!!

[@takemeaway285]

I just ordered Watson on Saturday. It will be my first Cadillacquer though I've had my eye on them for a while.

[@amymandeville8342]

I never heard of this brand, so thank you for making this video. These are all so unique!

[@Elizabeth-iv2pr]

some of those grey polishes are amazing, they look like terrazzo tiles

[@Livedreamlover]

Kelli, I love love LOVE small business Sunday! I love that you do your research and talk about the formulas the brands are known for but also show their other formulas because they're all great! I love my Cadillacquer glitter crellies but those reflectives definitely caught my eye a few weeks ago and I can't wait until I have them. I received Toxic from PPU last week and am definitely putting it on this month! I fell down the indie rabbit hole back in 2017 and I'm happy that someone with a larger platform like yourself can give these amazing makers a spotlight. Mainstream brands are great for cremes and easily accessible doorways to this amazing (expensive lol) hobby, but I really feel like indie makers create vibrant, unique, magical art for our fingers that puts me in awe whenever I paint it on and admire it for days after. I hope other people love and appreciate these brands you're introducing too and experience all the beauty they have to offer 🥰

[@KelliMarissa]

This really makes me so happy to read! And I'm glad I can finally do this series too - I really do want to give love and support to the smaller brands that really drive all the unique finishes and styles that mainstream brands don't usually bother with. Indies are the brands that really made me fall in love with nail polish, and I want others to feel it too!! 🥰

[@Livedreamlover]

@@KelliMarissa I'm excited to see what other brands you're going to feature! I know you like to focus on ones that are available most of the time and I think a great pick in the near future would be Emily de Molly. I've been wanting you to try that brand since you expressed how much you liked Icon from Enchanted Polish. Emily de Molly made several polishes like that with different jelly base colors and those matte white circle glitters. Those were definitely popular (I own like 10 lol), but she makes polishes in all different finishes. I tend to love her flakes, large particle (almost metallic looking) shifting shimmers, and holo glitters best. Her shop is always open and she keeps things in stock for months. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my comment! I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate this series 💗

[@Sika6061]

Wait For Me is the perfect fall/winter color. Oooh and The Dark!

[@katstorm13]

I love Cadillacquer! Wildflower & Dreamland are also both amazing indie brands. Wildflower usually only does presales, but her formula is amazing.

[@katstorm13]

With a few exceptions, I have a tendency to stick to the monthly/bi-monthly sales like PPU & Polished Gamers Box. I already have "too much polish" as it is lol.

[@indie.polish.fiend.]

Yay! Indies are the best! I’m so glad you’re featuring indie makers! My favorite Cadillacquer is Lion’s Mane - it’s a shimmery orange with turquoise hex glitters! Other makers that I love are Bee’s Knees Lacquer, Wildflower Lacquer, and Polished for Days!

[@ynotjen6542]

I absolutely love the colors! Going to look into purchasing.. thanks 😊

[@lmgreen86]

Ooh interesting!! I just ordered my first Cadlillacquer polish yesterday, I went for Morning Glory. Your review has me even more hyped for it to arrive 😁

[@Hortonscakes]

My top pick would be The Dark. I love a rich glittery green for fall. Thanks Kelli, gonna check them out!

[@KelliMarissa]

It really feels like the perfect October color!

[@hdetroyerAssassindestroyer]

Loving your whole look 💛 now I have to get some cadillaquer polishes 💅 all so pretty my favorite Relam of power and getting stronger

[@MGK-je8lf]

I picked up Peridot by Cadillaquer on Color 4 Nails, and I LOVE it! It’s one of my all time favorites. 🤩❤

[@sparkle1596]

these are stunning!!

[@Faerygism]

Cadillacquer is really fun! I did their advent calendar last year, and I'm really looking forward to this year's. The Horizon Forbidden West collection (of which Reaching for the Stars was a part) was also great.

[@mariliariva-andrade5623]

Yes to more indies!! Try Fancy Gloss for thermals; they have the absolute best ones!

[@XandraSiaCo]

I had my Cadillacquee years years back! Their polish are nice!

[@twirly_yuu]

'Toxic' was the first polish in my cart for the Sep Polish Pickup and I am wearing it right now. I got so excited to see it in your video! The easiest way to describe it is, as a red to black multichrome with green reflective glitter I think 😁

[@yoshishoots22jocyd731]

I just discovered your Channel . I absolutely love you and your swatching reviews . Just purchased your Orly polishes . Omg I love them all !

[@tegansmith3057]

These polishes are so beautiful!
