Great Lakes Lacquer Glass Resurrected Collection

Press Sample of the Great Lakes LacquerGlass Resurrected Collection It’s been an incredibly busy day. I had the day off from work, but it feels like I went to work and ran 1000 errands. In reality, I woke up super early to drop Jacob off at school and then came home and slept until 11:30. Then I got up and did some running around for upcoming posts and getting Jacob’s Halloween stuff. I actually have several collections to share this weekend, and I’m kicking posts off with the Great Lakes Lacquer Glass Resurrected Collection. Just a side note, if something looks wonky in my posting – I switched to the new Wordpress style Gutenberg and while I find it a lot easier, I’m still getting used to it. It’s slightly different and I’m still figuring it out a little. Okay so the Glass Resurrected collection finally releases tomorrow and I’ve…

Great Lakes Lacquer Polishing Poetic 2.0 Collection

Press Sample of the Great Lakes Lacquer Polishing Poetic 2.0 Collection I had some plans today to get so much done.. and then the power went out. I have about an hour before I’ll be offline, so I’m trying to knock a few out before I go. First up this afternoon is the Great Lakes Lacquer Polishing Poetic 2.0 Collection! This collection is a follow up to the initial collection that launched in February of last year. This is a much softer version though! Usually I leave my lighting alone, but for these photos I used tissue paper to diffuse the light a bit. With my normal lighting it was darkening the polishes too much, so they were far from accurate. That’s why the polish looks “softer” – it’s because they are! Let’s jump in! Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself Without Ever Having Felt Sorry For Itself is a…

Great Lakes Lacquer Water Colors Collection

Press Sample of the Great Lakes Lacquer Water Colors Collection Who’s ready for more Great Lakes Lacquer? For the 3rd Anniversary of Great Lakes Lacquer she created a collection that was inspired by her colorful logo. Here is the Great Lakes Lacquer Water Colors Collection! This is a 5 piece collection that consists of jellies and crellies loaded with shimmer and iridescent flakes. The colors are bright, yes slightly subdued at the same time so the shimmer and flakes pop out and the elements don’t overpower the color and vice versa. If you attended Polish Con, these shades debuted there – so you might have seen them or already purchased some or all. They will be launching on the Great Lakes Lacquer website on July 1st. Let’s take a look! Bottom Shoals Bottom Shoals is my must have shade from this collection. Bottom Shoals is a bright aqua crelly with a…
