Great Lakes Lacquer November Limited Editions

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  I hope your week has been going well so far!  Today I'm showing you the November Limited Edition from Great Lakes Lacquer.  These will be available starting October 31st 3pm EST!

Great Lakes Lacquer Thanksgiving Bay.

"November signals the coming of the Holidays for many.  It’s a time to remember, a time to give thanks, and time to spend with family.  It also marks my wedding anniversary.  To the man who has stuck by me, supported me, and pushed me to be my best, thank you.  We spent our honeymoon over on the west coast of Michigan, driving along the lake."

This is a gorgeous deep aqua/teal with a shimmer that shifts green to blue.  The shimmer in this is pretty subtle in most lights, but it's definitely visible in sunlight.  The formula is a little bit on the thicker side, but it's still easy to apply.  

This is 2 coats.

Great Lakes Lacquer Freer Sand.

"As we were traveling up and down the coast, following the lake, we noticed that the cabins and houses on the other side of the road really didn’t have lawns of grass so to speak.  The blowing winds had created sandboxes of the yards across the way.  One owner had stuck a sign in a particularly large pile stating “Freer Sand”.  A humorous jab at a frustrating situation, perhaps?  It will always be a part of our marriage vocabulary."

Freer Sand is a gold holo micro glitter and is aptly named because it's definitely reminiscent of sand and it's gorgeous.  Let me tell you the photos do it no justice!  The formula on this is definitely on the thick side, but creator Mariah has informed us that she'll be tweaking it to make a thinner formula in time for the release.

This is 2 coats.

These will be available for purchase October 31st at 3pm EST and will only be available through the month of November so don't miss out.  Also, don't forget to connect with Great Lakes Lacquer at the following spots!

Twinsie Tuesday - Inspired by the Season

Hi everyone!  I've been taking a bit of a blogging break, but I'm back today with a Twinsie Tuesday mani inspired by the season.  I decided to go with a fall inspired look because the weather here in LA has been anything but fall like!

I went with a glitter gradient and it didn't quite come out how I envisioned (the base is to dark for my taste), but I kind of like it.

For this look I used:

• China Glaze Free Bear Hugs (from the Fall 2015 The Great Out Doors Collection)
• China Glaze Electrify (from the Hunger Games Collection)
• OPI Thrills in Beverly Hills Top Coat

Twinsie Tuesday - Ruffian Manicure

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  Welcome to another edition of Twinsie Tuesday!  Today is all about the Ruffian Manicure.  This style was originally created by CND for the Ruffian show during the 2010 New York Fashion week and from there it kind of took off.

So since it's Halloween, I decided to do a Ruffian with Halloween colors.  I used LOOK Nail Colors Black and Orange.
