Great Lakes Lacquer - The Friends Collection Part 1

Press Sample 
These products are Cruelty Free 

Great Lakes Lacquer
The Friends Collection Part 1

Happy Monday everyone!

I am finally nearly back. I say nearly because I'm still sitting at the kitchen island trying to blog and take photos, which is not ideal LOL! Most of my stuff is still in boxes waiting on one thing or another to be completed. But I do think I've found a decent work-around for my tech issues, so I wanted to show you this collection before it's just completely out of stock.

This is the premier collection of a brand new-on-the-scene indie maker and I think she did an outstanding job with it. I'm guessing she did the whole "learning curve" behind the scenes and waited until she'd perfected her formulas and unique colors/finishes before she ever launched.



So meet me after the jump and we will take a look!

Top 5 Indies: The Browns

*Some of these polishes were Press Samples


Top 5 Indie Polishes: The Browns


It's meeeeeee! I will be back in the swing of things fully by July 18th (my fiber optics gets installed finally and I will actually be able to access the blog without sticking out my tongue, holding one arm up, closing one eye and hopping on one leg to make this super slow temporary WiFi work. And the only reason I could do this post is because I'm pulling swatch photos I'd already done. Making any cropping and watermarking photo program work on this WiFi is a joke. So, Warning: Varying Nail Lengths Ahead.




For now, I'm quite a sight as I attempt to show you my top 5 favorite brown indie polishes. I'm doing a link-up with several other bloggers and the prompt is "Top 5 Indies" - well you know me, I can't possibly pick FIVE indies. I tried doing 5 all-time favorites ever, 5 by one brand, 5 just released this year, nothing was narrowing my choices down to under 10. So I finally decided to pick my top 5 favorite browns - not all of them DO browns. There's really a serious shortage of brown polish all up in the nail world in my opinion so this will be easy. Ha. I was still only able to narrow it to 7. And that was hard.

I will leave the link to my original post for each one so you can check out availability and formula etc. if you want.

So meet me after the jump...
