Vapid Lacquer Swatch Fest

Press Sample I received a box of Vapid Lacquer shades to photograph, and I decided to do one large post for it! So here is my Vapid Lacquer Swatch Fest! Within this post I have 11 polishes, the peel off base coat and a top coat. Most of these polishes are available in the Vapid Lacquer shop. I’m going to start with the base coat and top coat, then move along to the pretty polishes! Commitment Issues Base Coat I’ve been buying Commitment Issues in bulk (I bought 3 more today I believe during the restock) and it’s made my swatch sessions a breeze.

Shown is 1 coat of Commitment Issues. Scorpion High…

Cupcake Polish Make Today Pawsome & Paws and Share The Love

Press Sample Cupcake Polish is back for another round of Crystal’s Charity Polish! If memory serves correctly (you never know with me) this is Cupcake Polish’s third time working with Crystal’s Charity Lacquer! This time around we have Cupcake Polish Make Today Pawsome & Paws and Share The Love! The first time around, Cupcake Polish helped raise funds for OVC Pet Trust with Furever Loved & Best Fur-iends. The second time, Cupcake Polish created Arrive Alive & In Our Hearts You’ll Always Stay which benefited MADD in memory of Duane Peterson. This time around these 2 gorgeous Cupcake Polish shades will benefit the SPCA. Crystal’s Charity Lacquers has been involved in charity runs for a number of years. She started Crystal’s Charity Lacquers about 2 years ago after contacting a handful of brands with the idea of creating custom or one of a kind polishes that would be given away to people who supported her fundraising through donations. She was…
