Great Lakes Lacquer: Notes To Self 2020


The Notes To Self 2020 collection debuts at Great Lakes Lacquer's shop on the 29th of February at 9 AM Eastern. The collection includes various shades and finishes, something for everyone!

Every polish is shown in two coats with topcoat, the toppers are also shown in one coat over another collection polish and then topcoated. The formulas for all the polishes in this collection are magical. Super easy, no fuss application.

I have really enjoyed soaking in the inpirations that Mariah included with the descriptions.
