Literary Lacquers: Book Club Polishes

Press Sample

The book club customs this round are both linear holographic polishes. Their inspirations are from the books We Were Liars and Big Little Lies. I enjoyed wearing them both, formula was excellent on each - buttery and smooth as usual.

Sugar, Curiosity, and Rain – Deep blue linear holo with light blue shimmer inspired by We Were Liars by E. Lockhart and designed with Christy Eileen Brown. I wore two coats with topcoat to shine and seal.





Oh Calamity! – Aqua linear holo with gold flash and a smattering of deep blue microglitter inspired by Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty and designed with Samantha Terris Parks. I wore three coats for opacity under bright lighting, you may get away with two though! Smooth to the touch even with the microglitter.





These polishes are limited edition, only available in the Facebook Fan Group for Literary Lacquers and will be available from July 25-August 31.

Painted Sabotage: Poisonberry and Shall We Go

Press Sample

Two beautiful holos from Painted Sabotage today! A beautifully reddened berry and grape-tacular purple! The holo in these is strong and brilliant indoors and out. The formula of each is smooth as butter, as I've come to expect from PS. Definitely one of those brands you may not hear a lot about, but is stellar in every aspect. If you haven't tried PS, now's the time!

Tonic Nail Polish: Light of Lyra

It is almost a month now since my mom died and I am still having a hard time with coping. Like one of my friends on facebook said, there's no one in your corner like your mom. But...it certainly helps lift my spirits to know that you all care about me and are supportive of me. Thank you so much.

The below polish was gifted to me anonymously. I posted it on my facebook page and no one fessed up! So to whoever you are, my most sincere thank you. It brightened my day to receive it, and now that I'm painting again, I put it on last night and have enjoyed it all day today.

It's a stunningly beautiful polish! I don't think I've ever worn anything quite like it. The blue shimmer comes through so strongly and the shade of violet in the base couldn't be more perfect. I'm wearing just two coats in the photos below.





This is my first Tonic Nail Polish, and likely won't be my last!
