Great Lakes Lacquer: Notes To Self

The Notes To Self Collection from Great Lakes Lacquer consists of four thermals, with names themed around things that Mariah needs to remind herself of sometimes. The launch will be at Polish Con September 23, at Navy Pier and later released online September 30 at 2pm Eastern.

The Grass Is Greener For A Reason
Comparing myself to someone else does no good as I have no idea of their struggles. I must compare myself to me. A brilliant lime green saturated with gold to green shimmer and a soft linear holo that transitions to yellow gold.
Shown is two coats, formula was good.

A Rose Is A Rose. Unless it's A Peach
Taking things at face value while remembering to not judge a book by its cover. A tea rose pink with peach shimmer and a soft linear holo that transitions to a peach with orange/bronze shimmer.
Shown is two coats, formula was good.

To Thine Own Self Be True
Finding me. Being me. Improving me. Best. Thing. Ever. A triple transition at times! A purple filled with pink shimmer with flecks of blue and a soft linear holo that transitions to a soft blue in between and a rose gold with flecks of copper.
Shown is two coats, formula was good.

That's a wrap - I hope it was enjoyable, thermals are fun to play with however; quite challenging for me to shoot because of my hot hands and short nails. I still love wearing them and have fun showing people at work how they change - it fascinates them!
