Literary Lacquer: Community Collaboration

Products provided for review.

I have two more beautiful Literary Lacquer Community Collab polishes to share with you today! If you'd like a little more information about the collaboration, check the first entry here and to see two others, check the second entry here.

Love You Forever is a medium blue crelly holo polish. It was created by Crisdee Michie and her daughter Keera and was inspired by the sweet children's book Love You Forever, by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Sheila McGraw. This book is a tearjerker, but in a good way!

Oh blue, how I love thee! I was so excited to see that the collection included a beautiful turquoise blue. Simply perfection, not too green no no no, perfectly turquoise blue and HOLOGRAPHIC! -gasp- Gasp! Can you hear that? Its a crowd applauding! What a sunny day at xoxoJen, not a cloud in the "Love You Forever" sky! I did not want to remove it! I wore two coats over WnW Teal Slowly and See.




Goodnight Moon is a sheer jelly glitter polish, the base is a twilight blue jelly and it's full of holographic sparkle, chrome silver glitter, and blue holographic and silver moon shaped glitters. It can be worn alone at three thin coats with some placement of the large glitters but is best layered over another polish. Goodnight Moon was created by Amy's friend Tami Stapp Fournier, of the up and coming blog The Manicured Mermaid

Since I couldn't bring myself to remove Love You Forever, I topped it with one coat of Goodnight Moon! Isn't it glorious and sensational!? There is something totally exciting yet absolutely serene about this! It can be worn alone but the layering options are many! Just look at the index nail in the first photo, how it morphs from the blue underneath to a beautiful purply shade! Sheila wore it over As the Waltz Was Ending and it is stunning - I wonder how it'd look over black or white, or maybe a dark purple or navy blue?




You can purchase these and other Literary Lacquer polishes at the Etsy shop for $10 each or the whole Community set for $90 and you can keep updated by following their facebook page.

Holiday Link Party!

Welcome to Our Holiday Nails of 2013 blog hop hosted by Sparkle Queen! This link party has one purpose: to share our holiday manicures with each other!

Everyone is welcome to share ALL of their holiday nails and manicures. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter either, as long as you can link to your holiday nails, you can enter. So if you are sharing your pictures on Nail Art Gallery, uploading to Pintrest, Instagram or Twitter, or anywhere else, you can enter too. You’ll just need the URL of where your pictures are shared.

Bloggers can use THIS CODE to add the link party into their posts.

Party Details:

*You can enter as many holiday nails as you like, but they must all go to a specific page, they can’t just go to your home page.

*Link as many entries as you want.

*The link party will stay open till shortly after the New Year so any new year’s inspired nails can get added too.

*Nails must be holiday related one way or the other. Maybe the polish you are wearing for Christmas, or your snowy nail art scene. Any and all are welcome.

*Video tutorials are OK as well, as long as you can upload an image for the thumbnail.

Make sure to check out the other entries and show some love to your fellow nail ladies!

84, Charing Cross Road is a sepia taupe subtle holographic nail polish loaded with silver glass fleck designed by Sheila of Pointless Cafe. The book, 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff is about a correspondence between a New York writer and a London bookseller, it's a great read and a terrific movie!

One of my favorite polish colors (besides purple and green) is a nice cool taupe without red tones. That color has proven difficult to find until recent years, but especially difficult to find in holographic polish. When I first unwrapped the bottle, I was in love! Not only does it have a subtle holographic sparkle but it also has beautiful glass flecks in it! The polish is quite sheer so I wore two coats over my favorite nude, Theoretically Nude from Vivid Lacquer, and I think they were made for each other!





My Red Hair shifts from orange through copper into red and was created by Debbie Crumpet of The Crumpet, my British Nail Blogger soulmate. She was inspired both by her own hair and by Sylvia Plath's poem Lady Lazarus. The poem can be read at poets.org

I thought at first this was simply a metallic copper but its so much more! The gorgeous copper shifts to red at different angles and is sprinkled with gold glitters! Quite beautiful! I wore three thin coats with Clearly On Top top coat.




Debbie writes:

"I was 16 when I first read Sylvia Plath. At an awkward and impressionable age, I was ready to be awestruck by the visceral power of her writing and the brutal language of her poems. I quickly became obsessed with her, and the great literary tragedy of her marriage to Ted Hughes, and her life, her triumphs and her struggles, have influenced and empowered me like nothing else in my life.
My Red Hair is inspired by her most famous poem, Lady Lazarus, where the heroine, a born sufferer, tortured and abused to the point she has to commit suicide every 10 years to have a chance at a better life, vows that “Out of the ash / I rise with my red hair / And I eat men like air.” It’s a chilling line: a whisper, a shriek, a manifesto, and a promise as a cold as dead lover’s kiss.."

And there ya have it! Two more beautiful polishes from the collab set makes four, so there are six more to share with you in the coming days! Which is your favorite so far?

The Community Collaboration is available at Literary Lacquers on Etsy and stay in the know by following the brand on facebook.
