More Love Triangles with Urban Lacquer

I was just looking at my previous blog entry and realized that I left out a couple of swatches. So a few minutes ago, I redid my nails to get this shot.

The Wife on top of the Husband (one coat each) with an accent of The Mistress jelly sandwiched between the Husband and the Wife. Now the triangle is complete!



I really love how the Wife makes the Mistress blush!
(one coat of each for the accent nail)


These launch in about 20 minutes at the Urban Lacquer Etsy Shop.

Urban Lacquer: Love Triangle

Urban Lacquer's Valentine's Day collection is quite a clever creation. Brenda kept it a secret from me until I unboxed the polish. Little did I know it'd be this steamy! It's not the typical hearts and flowers set, no sireee!

The Love Triangle

The set is comprised of three polishes, The Husband, The Wife, and -gasp!- The Mistress. Oooooo...



The Husband is a handsome feller, don't ya think?


Deep rich mahogany hair...


Sparkling blue eyes.. -wistful sigh-



The Wife is quite refined.


She sips deep raspberry colored wine that's almost jelly-like and shimmers in the moonlight...




Little does The Wife know that The Husband has a secret...

Oh yes, this is The Mistress atop the Husband! -gasp!-


So playful together, enjoying every moment of it!


Does anyone dare tell The Wife about this?



...or would The Wife care?

It appears that The Wife has a Mistress too!! -shock!-


She wears a seductive laced up corset with hearts on the front!


The Mistress is a sexy woman, sparkling in all the right ways. Her eyes are bewitchingly holographic, hair like silk, gold and silver jewels adorning her pink and red lingerie. Who dares resist her?

How do we choose? Or do we tell? We have until Thursday to decide!


If you missed out on Brilieve, now is your chance to get a bottle! 25 bottles of Brilieve will be stocked along with the V-day launch tomorrow.

The Valentine's Day collection will be available Thursday, January 24th, at 8pm CST.
If you purchase the set of three, you'll receive a small jar of pink and red holographic hearts for your nails! (examples in above photos on accent nail)

Whimsical Valentine


Last night, Pam released her Valentine's collection for her line Whimsical Ideas by Pam.

First is Eloise, a pink and white matte glitter in a clear base with huge black circle glitter.


I wore two coats over Revlon Hazy

I go ga ga for pink and grey combos and this one is such a pretty glitter topper! Feminine yet edgy at the same time. I didn't have to dig around or fish for those big circles at all. What you see is what I got painting as I usually do with any polish.


Next is In the Whole Wide World, a very delicate topper with satin pink hearts, mint hexes, and iridescent shimmer.


I wore two coats over Revlon Gum Drop


A very pale lavender polish. I think they go well together! I wanted to do a grey jelly sammich with it but Pam's idea was for it to look like an old fashioned Victorian valentine; so instead of the grey I chose a soft feminine color. I think this would look pretty rockin over a dark color too, like black, navy or dark purple and of course, grey.


Not only did Pam's nephew name this next polish but he also created a label for it. I urged Pam to use his label and eventually persuaded her to do a limited run with them. She sent me label #2 which was really sweet! My bottle also has the regular label on the back of it! We put it on there for the bottle shot line up since the special labels were limited.


I wore 2 coats of Sparkly Markaly (look at those circle glitters!!) over 1 coat of Nanacoco's Irresistible Charm


Persian Violets has to be one of my favorites in this line up, any guesses why?
Purple of course! The glitter is pretty dense in this one and includes three different shades and shapes of purple glitter as well as a subtle shimmer.


I wore two coats of Persian Violets over a mini polish I picked up at Hot Topic a few years ago, it doesn't have a name on it though.

I got several compliments on Persian Violets from several coworkers and random strangers!


Falingo contains a lot of pink and white satin glitter and sort of corally pink matte glitters in different shapes.


I wore three coats over Revlon Powder Puff. Falingo was a little difficult to photograph but its really a very pretty polish in person. Pam told me that her sister used to call flamingos falingos, so it's a little inside joke that she's now shared with the rest of the world!


And one more bonus photo because I love pink and grey together:
