Unable to attend Polish Con NYC 2017?
Never fear! The creators and vendors of the event got together and are creating polishes available for sale to everyone before the Con! How cool is that? The releases are done weekly on Sundays at 8am Central.

This week's launch will feature week 5 polishes from Cupcake and Glisten & Glow.
Both polishes are inspired by east coast hip hop and will be sold separately but they compliment each other quite well.

Where Brooklyn At?
Bright Pink with purple undertones linear holographic with a dusting of red galaxy microglitters and flashes of purple shimmers. The formula applied evenly; I wore two coats and topcoat.

These two polishes are limited and may sell out during the pre-order, which means they may not be available at Polish Con NYC. If that's not enough of a reason to grab yours quick, the first 80 are available to ship immediately, the rest will be pre-order and ship after the 15th of January.

Links here to my reviews of Week 3 and Week 4 polishes in case you missed those.

I hope you've enjoyed the review and photos - grab yours Sunday morning after 8am Central over at http://polishconvention.bigcartel.com/products

I Want To Be A Part Of It
A lavender base that twinkles like fairy dust and is packed with shifting flakes. The formula was buttery and applied evenly; I wore three coats and topcoat.

Literary Lacquers: Visions of Sugarplums

Visions of Sugarplums is this year's limited edition gift with purchase at Literary Lacquers. A $24 purchase total will include a mini size and a $48 purchase total includes the full size bottle. It's a sparkly grapey shade packed with glitter and tiny pink stars! I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos.

Amy, having just graduated college, is now studying super hard to pass the four exams to become a CPA. With that she is changing her business model a bit. As of January 2, 2017, the shop will temporarily close. It will re-open for pre-orders with limited stock on the first weekend of each month beginning in February. There will be at least 1 new polish and 5 or 6 classics from the stock revived each month. She's also started a newsletter which will include Literary Lacquers launch dates and other information. You can sign up with your email address - easy peasy!

In addition, Amy is offering a discount - Everything in the shop will be 20% off with code HOLIDAY2016 from Friday, November 25 - Sunday, January 1.
I'm excited for Amy and so happy that she is able to continue LitLaq while also investing in herself and furthering her career.
