Urban Lacquer: The CEO Collection

Products provided for review.

Looking for a polish that can be worn to the office? Not really interested in glitter polishes?

If so, Urban Lacquer has just the thing!
The CEO Collection polishes are beautiful colors full of shimmer and absolutely office appropriate.
Take It Offline is a flashy copper-gold color yet neutral enough for office attire! Its quite versatile; wear it by itself or with a glitter topper. I've worn 2 coats in the below photos.




Synergy is another poilsh in the CEO Collection, and is a gorgeous maroon blend with blue-green micro shimmer. I tried my best to capture the shimmer, its definitely more showy in person than on film. I wore two coats of Synergy for these photos.

In these photos, I topped Synergy with Sugar Britches from the General Collection. Who'd have thought such a girly glitter could be office appropriate too? With the right polish underneath, I sure think it is!


The other polish in the CEO Collection is Drill Down which is a purply / burgundy / brown shimmery polish, the shade depends on the lighting.

All Urban Lacquer polishes are 3-free; they do not contain Toluene, Formaldehyde, or Dibutyl Phthalate. All polishes are hand-blended in small batches, so there may be slight variations from batch to batch. Each polish has the color name hand written neatly on the side of the label along with all the ingredients.

The CEO Collection is available at the Urban Lacquer Etsy Shop and you can follow them on Facebook.

Guest Post: Lori from Things I Heart, Part 3

So, this is the last post for my guest post here on xoxojen.  I had so much fun doing this!!

Jen may be an evil enabler, but I am so very thankful that she is!  Not only has she helped me with the basics of nail polish and doing my own manis, she has also helped me with my blog http://thingsiheart1981.blogspot.com.  She takes her time and makes calendars of indies that are restocking, with date and time.  I've asked her many questions (some are probably really dumb too lol!) and she always answers with helpful advise.  Jen is a very wonderful lady :-)

I got the perfect polish for this post!  Rescue Beauty Lounge Thank You.  Thank You is a gorgeous nude with some awesome pink shimmers.  The shimmers are not visible in my pictures, but they are there in real life.  I wanna make you all aware that I got bubbles with this polish.  I painted my nails three times with it, but it didn't help. So, just ignore them ;-)

All of these swatches are two coats of RBL Thank You, then I added the nail stickers from jobynailart.com.  I applied two coats of Gelous and one coat of HKG :-)

I hope everyone enjoyed these posts!  I had a ton of fun doing this and am honored Jen asked me to guest post on her lovely blog!!!

Thank you for everything Jen <3!!


My pleasure Lori! I would love to do this again sometime! I've really enjoyed your blog entries and manicures.

If you haven't already, please do stop by Lori's blog and leave some love and a follow!
What say you, dear readers, shall we persuade her to come and guest post again sometime?

Guest Post: Lori from Things I Heart, Part 2

-     Hi again!!  I have the second part of my story I put together for my guest post here on xoxoJen!

     So, we all know Jen takes amazing photos of nail polish!  When I first started reading about nail polish on "The Blue", Jen would always post links to gorgeous polish and keep us up to date on stockings.  The first time I experienced her posting a link, I replied "Damn You Jen!"  She replied with "You're welcome!"  Apparently, this wasn't the first time it was said to Jen regarding her "evil enabling".   "Damn You Jen" became a phrase used often and I wanted to do a manicure that focused on that phrase...

I started with two coats of Illamasqua Loella and topped that with one coat of Enchanteds Castle on a Cloud.  Both polishes applied so easily!!  I love how the Enchanted added a bit of spunk to Loella.  These photos are without topcoat.

So, I then added my little "Damn You Jen" part.

I decided to buy some stickers from jobynailart.com.  This was a perfect opportunity to buy them to try.  They are super easier to apply than I thought.  I did have to redo my pointer finger because I tried to apply the stickers with my fingers, but tweezers are the way to go!  I just added these stickers and put on a coat of Gelous then my HG topcoat, HKG!  This was really so much fun to do!!!

Oh my gosh! That is the cutest mani I have ever seen Lori!! I'm so touched! -sniffle-
You guys have got to go visit and follow her blog now, look how sweet she is!
