Great Lakes Lacquer The Great Ones Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing with you Great Lakes Lacquer's newest collection The Great Ones.  It's an ode to the Great Lakes and a celebration of Great Lakes Lacquer's one year anniversary!  The collection consists of 5 polishes and is available now from GreatLakesLacquer.com.

It's been so great working with Mariah, the creator behind the GLL brand.  Within the last year I've see her brand grow, her formulas improve to perfection, and her collections get better and better.  She's puts so much effort into each polish and puts great thought into all her collections, I know she'll continue to do great things.


Great Lakes Lacquer Lake Michigan.  This has a lovely teal jelly base that's filled with lots of holo and flakes that shifts from blue to green.  If you don't get anything from this collection, you need this.  It's gorgeous!  Easy application and dries smoothly.

This is just 2 coats.

Great Lakes Lacquer Lake Erie.  This is a deep indigo color with scattered holo and some pigment that shifts from red to gold.  In most lights this polish remains indigo, but at those extreme angles and in the shade, you can see the subtle shift.  No application issues.

This is 2 coats.

Great Lakes Lacquer Lake Huron.  This is a lovely deep blue color with golden green shimmer.  This is another favorite from the collection.  This one does go on sheer, but build nicely.

This is 3 coats.

Great Lakes Lacquer Lake Superior.  This ones a bit of a chameleon.  It's mostly a deep mysterious blackened green, but the shifting shimmer makes it turn indigo at certain angles and in certain lights.  Application was perfect!

This is 2 coats.

And there we have it!  As always Mariah put her heart into these and if I'm choosing favorites, they'd definitely have to be Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, but you can't go wrong with any of them.  These are currently available now!  Be sure to check out Great Lakes Lacquer at the following spots!
