Awesome Sauce Box: Lisa Frank

Press Sample

The Awesome Sauce box is a collaboration between several indie Nail Polish brands who bring you a box full of awesome! The current box includes 4 polishes as well as several other fun products, all with a Lisa Frank theme.



Different Dimensions~StarGazer
Holo glitterbomb with an array of shapes in bright colors and it comes with a heap of loose neon star glitters! Who doesn't like extra glitters, in star shapes!? The holo rainbow and candy colors of this polish made me grin while at work. I wore just one coat over the Anonymous Lacquer and it is almost opaque. I added a coat of gelous and a coat of top coat for a smooth glossy finish.





Anonymous Lacquer~Dream Like A Unicorn
Bold blue with a flash of purple shimmer and linear holo, and it comes with a mini "Butta Balm" for cuticle care.
This polish is so electric and vibrant, teetering right on the edge of being called purple! I don't think I have anything like it in my collection, happy to give it a home!
I wore two coats, although I could have gotten away with one.





Ever After Polish~Let's Be Frank
A bright, almost neon pink with peach tendencies super loaded with blue and purple micro flakes. If you're a pink lover, you won't want to miss this one. I wore two coats and topcoat.





Lavish Polish~Chasing Rainbows
A vibrant purple holo packed with blue and pink shimmer. I freaking love this shade, raspberry is just so yummy! I wore two coats with topcoat.





The box also includes a sheet of Lisa Frank inspired water slide decals and a rainbow nail file! The file is awesome, and I haven't had a chance to try out the decals but they are super cute! The box is available now at http://awesomesauceindies.bigcartel.com/. It comes in both full and mini sizes, shown here is the full sized box.

Blue-Eyed Girl Destination Duo: North from 9 3/4

Press Sample

This month’s Destination Duo is a collaboration with Paint Box Polish! The polishes were based on the photo below that Pam from Paintbox took at King’s Cross Station.



The Blue-Eyed Girl part of the duo is called North from 9 3/4
It's a taupe crelly packed with copper shimmer, silver flakies, and red to gold shifting microflakies.
I wore two coats with topcoat. It has a smooth easy formula and is super shimmery!





The other polish in the duo (not pictured) is from Paint Box Polish called Anything From the Trolley, Dears? It's a glitter topper with iridescent flakes, holo & charcoal flakies, red/gold shimmer, and red square glitters. In addition to the two polishes, the set also comes with a Paint Box Polish mani fizz scented like Butterbeer!

The release is scheduled as a preorder from 9/28 at 2:30PM CDT to October 1 at 10:59PM at both Paint Box Polish and Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer shops.

Literary Lacquers: Nailed Collection

Press Sample

The Nailed Collection is a collaboration between Literary Lacquers and romance author Opal Carew. The polish was released in tandem with Carew's new romance novel, "Nailed". The book sounds quite steamy based on what I read at the Amazon listing:

“Opal Carew gives readers a taste of the forbidden.” –Romance Reviews Today
“Carew brings erotic romance to a whole new level…she sets your senses on fire!” – Reader to Reader

The full polish collection and individuals are available now at Literary Lacquers Etsy shop.

Arousal
Tomato red jelly polish filled with orange, gold and pink glass flecks.

As with all Literary Lacquers polishes, the application and formula were buttery smooth and easy peasy with little clean up. I am really fond of polishes like this that practically apply themselves.

Amy did a fantastic job creating the collection, it seems to go along with the book topic quite well! I enjoyed wearing them and I think you will too!
What do you think of the Nailed collection?
