Great Lakes Lacquer Polish Con Limited Edition Trio

Press Sample of the Great Lakes Lacquer Polish Con Limited Edition Trio I fell a little behind and I’m getting posts out! Next up tonight we have Great Lakes Lacquer Polish Con Limited Edition Trio to look at! All 3 of these shades will be available at Polish Con, but you can also get them online until June 21st (so those who can’t attend – you can still grab them!) Let’s take a look! Another Bite Another Bite is a burgundy base packed with red to gold to green aurora shimmer, which gives it more of a deep brick reddish appearance.

Great Lakes Lacquer To The Very Fires Of Mordor

Press Sample for Great Lakes Lacquer To The Very Fires Of Mordor I’m getting ready to head to bed, but I was hoping to get a post up today! I’m currently swatching more Great Lakes Lacquer shades – so it’s only fitting that I also do a post on Great Lakes Lacquer To The Very Fires Of Mordor! This shade is part of the June Hella Handmade Creations series. As I mentioned in my last series of posts, HHC changed things up and they are starting a new series. 12 makers are participating in the monthly customs and each brand has a theme they picked for themselves. Great Lakes Lacquer selected Lord Of The Rings as inspiration! Great Lakes Lacquer’s first polish in this series is based on Bilbo’s going away party. The name is taken from his speech. For her second polish, we saw You Shall Not Pass which is…

Great Lakes Lacquer January 2018 Hella Holo Customs Exclusives

Press Sample I have so much to share before January is over! So many pretties and time is whizzing by! I received all 8 of January’s Hella Holo Custom’s shades – 4 are from Great Lakes Lacquer and 4 are from Pahlish. All 8 are PHENOMENAL. I split them into two posts because each brand needs to be showcased on their own. It’s just how I do things. So… here are the Great Lakes Lacquer January 2018 Hella Holo Customs Exclusives! Gorgeous right? These were created specifically for the Hella Holo Customs group, so you do have to be a member there to purchase. I made the group name clickable for easy access to join if you aren’t a member already. Typically every month there are anywhere from 2-8ish exclusives available, depending on brands who made customs for the month. This month there are 2 brands and each brand created 4 polishes. Let’s take…
