Big Day!

Today is the big day for the announcement of the giveaway winner! I plan to post it up later this evening so that you all have some more time to get those last minute entries in.

I had such a good response to layering the xoxojen.com polish over black and white that I did a few more to show you. :)



I tried to arch my fingers like a rainbow for a little photo fun!
Each finger has a couple coats of base color and then one coat of the xoxojen.com glitter polish. Its pretty densely packed with glitter!
I hope this helps to show how well this topper can go with a lot of different colors, even though the base is slightly tinted grey.

I was also gifted a cute lil image from a friend of mine on facebook, Zombiemistress Elwell.



Hold tight!! We'll have a winner this evening! :)

Urban Lacquer: xoxojen.com Second take!

You've seen it over grey, so how about over black and white?

Two coats of xoxojen.com over Urban Lacquer's Little Black Undies.

The holos really pop with the contrasting black!


And even though the glitter topper's base is tinted grey, the black polish shows through it really well.


Here, I've layered xoxojen.com over China Glaze Frosty, which is a shimmery white - this is a good showing of how the base is tinted.




xoxoJen.com will be available on February 22, at 3pm CST at the Urban Lacquer Etsy shop.

Don't forget to enter the giveaway for a free bottle - see this post for details!

Urban Lacquer: xoxoJen.com Collaboration Polish

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 GAW!


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.
