Great Lakes Lacquer March 2018 Polish Pickup

**press sample**

Hello my lovelies and happy Monday! I've missed you all! Today I have some new and exciting things for you. If you're not familiar with the Polish Pickup, you're missing out on some serious polish amazingness! If you are familiar with it, you can skip this part and go straight to the swatches.

The Polish Pickup is a new approach to monthly indie polish subscription boxes. Each month, members submit theme ideas and then vote on the top 10 themes. The winning theme is then used by the makers to choose their inspiration for their polish and/or bath and body products. There are as many as 70 polish makers each month. The best part, you can pick and choose which polishes you'd like to purchase, and every order ships for only $3. It's like a make your own sub box!

This month's theme is Books and I have the privilege to swatch Great Lakes Lacquer's contribution. The book Mariah chose is Stephen King's Wizard and Glass, the 4th book in the Dark Tower Series.


Time Is A Face On The Water

Time Is A Face On The Water is described as a metallic sky blue multichrome holographic with strong shifts from lavender and pink to orange and green. To me the color pulls a bit more periwinkle than sky blue, but beautiful nonetheless. The holo is very strong, sparkling in all types and levels of light. The lavender and pink shifts are the strongest for me, however in lower light I am able to pull the green shift despite being unable to capture it on camera. The formula is superb, super smooth and easy to work with. Each coat applies like a dream. The first coat appears to apply somewhat sheer, but it quickly and easily builds up nicely. Swatches show 3 coats, however I had mostly complete opacity with 2 coats.




I really loved this polish. The lavender and pink shift against the periwinkle blue is just amazing. This is definitely one of those polishes where you just can't help but sit and stare at your nails all day. 

March's Polish Pickup dates will be March 2-5. Time Is A Face On The Water will be available for $12.50 with no cap. Submissions for the next round of themes open the Monday before launch, so have your ideas ready! Voting will begin on launch day and run until Sunday. 

Don't forget to add this beauty to your wishlist! Until next time my lovelies!

Night Owl Lacquer Polish Pickup Exclusive Swatches and Review

**press sample**

Hey there loves! I am super excited for this blog post! I have a new to me brand to share with you all, and I know you're going to love it! This is Night Owl Lacquer's contribution to this month's Polish Pick Up theme, Under the Sea. Isn't she stunning?
Before we jump into swatches, let me quickly explain what the Polish Pick Up is. The Polish Pick Up is a collaboration of various indie polish makers creating polishes based on a theme that the group votes on each month. Unlike regular collar boxes, you get to pick and choose which polishes you buy each month! Now that you know a little bit about how this collab works, let's get into some swatches!
Night Owl Lacquer's contribution, 'With Fronds Like These, Who Needs Anemones', is a blue base polish with purple sparks, bright blue micro flakies, and scattered holo. Lindsay's inspiration pick was a gorgeous photo of a blue sea anemone. I think Nemo would be proud! This polish is truly gorgeous. The formula was really nice and easy to work with. Application was smooth and effortless. Swatches show three thin coats, but can totally pass with just two thicker coats. Last photo shows the polish matte and its amazing!





This and all the other Polish Pickup polishes will be available for preorder from the PPU website from June 2nd until June 5th. The Night Owl Lacquer will be $9 plus the PPU flat shipping rate of $3. I'm really impressed with this polish and can't wait to try more from NOL! Be sure to join both the NOL and the PPU Facebook groups for all the latest news and launches. Thanks so much for stopping by!
