Glam Polish: Frankenslime 2016 + Nail Art

I absolutely love the bright greens and glitters that Glam Polish makes and when I saw this one with purple glitter mixed in, I had to have it!



The formula is fantastic for glitter polish, it applied so easily. I didn't have to double dip the brush or do any of that glitter fishing madness that often occurs with glitter polishes. The accent nail is a purple holo called Blackberry Wine from Nvr Enuff, it's worn here with two coats and topcoat.



I wore two coats to reach opacity and to insure even application. I topped it with Gelous and Clearly on Top from KBShimmer.



The mani was screaming for some Halloween nail art, so I did them up with spiders and webs! I used a spider from Bundle Monster 13 and webs from Vivid Lacquer 013. I used MDU black and avocado for stamping.




I hope you've enjoyed the mani and nail art and I wish you all a happy and safe Halloween!

Candy Lacquer Nail Art

A while back, like a year and some change, I purchased a few holo creams from Candy Lacquer that really caught my eye. Unfortunately, I don't see them available in the shop right now, but I invite you to live vicariously through these swatches! I really enjoyed these polishes, each of them had a terrific two coat formula. The holo is subtle in low light, and stronger in the sun. Totally office appropriate shades, don't you think?

Chocolate Galaxy is the mocha shade, it has a pinky/purple shimmer in it and the purple leaning shade is called My Favorite Coat. I've no idea what glitter I used Bear Pawlish Baby Bear's Breath on the accent nail. (Found it after searching through all my images!)




I hope you've enjoyed the 'blast from the past' let me know what you think!

Literary Lacquers: The Needle's Bite

Press Sample

The Needle's Bite - A vampy mysterious metallic gunmetal linear holo with an antique gold highlight shimmer, designed with Alex and Eli Bacon-Leslie and inspired by the Newsflesh series by Mira Grant.

I wore two coats with topcoat but this polish was very near opaque in just one coat. It applied easily and so far no chipping after four days of wear. I received a compliment yesterday from the cashier at a restaurant. In their lighting, this polish looked greenish. It's definitely a morpher depending on the lighting situation.






This polish is available from October 17 - November 16, $13 with a $5 donation from each bottle going to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

The Needle’s Bite to raise funds for JDRF

SANTA FE, New Mexico ﹘ With Type 1 Diabetes, every day can feel like a succession of needles. Each day is filled with finger pricks, blood tests and insulin injections.

The Needle’s Bite, developed in collaboration between Literary Lacquers and Alex and Eli Bacon-Leslie, will raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

A big fan of the “Newsflesh” series by Mira Grant, Eli Bacon-Leslie chose to name the polish “The Needle’s Bite” because of his experiences living with Type 1 Diabetes and endless days of needles and blood tests, something the characters in the book could empathize with. The characters in the “Newsflesh” series live in a world of constant needle pricks and blood tests, but in their case, the tests are for zombie amplification, not blood glucose.

Each bottle of The Needle’s Bite will be sold for $13 and $5 from each bottle will be donated to Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The polish will be sold from October 17, 2016 to November 16, 2016.
