Literary Lacquers: The Community Collection - 84 Charing Cross Road

*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

Tomorrow, I am going to be showing you the entire Community Collection, a brand new collection from Literary Lacquers, which consists of 10 new collaboration shades. And I got to create one of them with Amy!!!

Literary Lacquers
The Community Collection





I'm so excited! So naturally I have to show you "mine" first! Mine is called 84 Charing Cross Road - inspired by one of my favorite movies/books. In the world of books, especially 40's era stories, which is where 84 Charing Cross Road begins, it's a sepia-toned world, much like the pages of the old tomes central to the story of Frank and Helene. The sparkling rainbow, subtle in the shade, bursts forth in the sun, like the characters of Frank and Helene bursting forth from the un-earmarked pages of 84 Charing Cross Road. For anyone who loves books, they already know this is true for all of the stories and characters and worlds that lie within the sepia-toned pages of those leather-bound treasures.

piCture pOlish Freya's Cats - Swatches and Review

Nothing to Disclose 
*This product is Cruelty Free 

♥

Tonight I have another of the four latest piCture pOlish Collaboration shades for you - Freya's Cats.





Freya's Cats was created in collaboration with Nihrida and her inspiration is SO cool - from Norse Mythology:

Freya (also known as Freyja) is the Norse goddess of love, beauty, war and death. She rides on a chariot pulled by two blue cats Bygul and Trjegul which were given to her by Thor. That's how my nail polish shade got its name.

piCture pOlish Paradise

♥

Good evening! Tonight I have another piCture pOlish Collaboration polish to show you: Paradise by Liquid Jelly! "Beautiful and lovely, a state of delight..."

Here's how Liz at Liquid Jelly describes Paradise:

A blue-green jelly base with blue-teal-green shifting pigments, very fine purple glitter, and small hot pink holographic glitter.  I would classify Paradise as a duochrome, but it's one of those that changes depending on the angle and the lighting.  It looks both gorgeous indoors and outdoors - leaning towards green indoors and blue-teal outdoors.  And when you tilt your fingers, you'll see the most beautiful shades of teal and sapphire.  The fine purple glitter acts more like shimmer the way its twinkles amidst the blue and green.  And I adore the way the pink glitter pops out. 

Well that's pretty spot-on! I used 2 light coats and no top coat for the photos.

piCture pOlish FOCUS by Pointless Cafe

♥

UPDATE: piCture pOlish FOCUS has joined the
piCture pOlish collection full time!


Remember I told you I had something extra special coming up to show you later this month? Well, IT'S HERE!!!!!! Not only am I excited to introduce to you piCture pOlish FOCUS by Pointless Cafe, if you hang around to the end of the post I have a GIVEAWAY, too, thanks to the lovely Kim at Overall Beauty!







Back at the end of July I was thrilled to be one of the many bloggers worldwide to participate in piCture pOlish's Blogfest 2012. Little did I know then that it would lead to a polish with MY name on it! Turns out that piCture pOlish poured over those blog posts and chose a few bloggers worldwide to create and name their own shade and I was one of the lucky few!

This polish was initially named Perspective but it was too long for the bottle so I changed it to Focus. The color inspiration photos I sent them were of wild wine cups growing in my back yard. I told them I wanted this color - between a violet and a red-violet on the color wheel - in a crelly formula with micro-flakes and maybe some blue shimmer.




piCture pOlish Focus - Color Inspiration




And Focus was born! It's not the exact color I was thinking, but it's gorgeous nonetheless! It's actually a great red-violet positively LOADED with micro-flakes! It's not a jelly but it is a crelly and was opaque on short nails in two coats and on my longer nails I needed the third coat. The depth of color built up great and I was really happy with the formula! One coat of Poshe top coat for the photos.

This shade is a LIMITED EDITION, however, if we all love it, the girls at piCture pOlish may keep it in their line-up so please show it some love!
