Urban Lacquer: xoxoJen.com Collaboration Polish and Giveaway

You've been waiting to see what is so special about my next post, right?

Well, I hope this delivers: LE collaboration polish and a giveaway!


Brenda at Urban Lacquer and I worked together for almost a month to create this beautiful limited edition polish.



The polish starts with a barely tinted grey base and is packed with different shapes and sizes of purple and lime green glitters. The flashes of pink or orange you see in the macro and bottle shot are the holo glitters at play! I think Brenda did an outstanding job creating my vision and she has been a doll to work with!

My intent was for the polish to be worn over grey and have the depth of a jelly.
After some testing, we decided to make the base barely tinted so that it can easily be worn over just about any other color.

Two coats on all nails over Revlon Hazy


The rest of these photos have only one coat on my ring finger and two coats on the rest to show the difference in the glitter density and tinted base.

    1. (50) Thank you! It was quite an ordeal getting the domain to work. Google Aps was pointing it to another webspace and it took three weeks of google aps support tickets and then finally I figured out how to fix it without their "help" lol. So I felt quite accomplished! Thanks for the compliments! :)

    2. Three weeks and then you figured it out yourself? I would have felt accomplished too! And probably have sent them a snarky email, haha.
