Anonymous Lacquer - Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hi, everyone! Hope your week is going swimmingly! I'm still in shock that I'm no longer on vacation -_- I'm pretty positive that it's not okay to ever have to return to work after vacation.

To make myself feel better, I painted my nails! Go figure ;) Today I've got the very first collection from a new indie brand, Anonymous Lacquers. I've got swatches of the Like a Virgin collection (inspired by 80's music icons) as well as an added bonus polish to share so let's get to it!

Guest Post from Kelli of The Nail Polish Challenge

So, even though I'm back from my vacation, I have one more fantastically amazing guest post to share with you all, this time from Kelli over at The Nail Polish Challenge. She is one of my favorite bloggers and she always has the most stunning swatches, the perfect nail shape, and spot on photography. While she typically sticks to swatching, I've seen her do phenomenal nail art so I thought I'd pester her to do a guest post for me. AND I AM SO GLAD I DID! I am floored by what she came up with and so honored that she pushed herself to create something this beautiful for my little ole blog! Please, join me in trying to convert her to the world of nail art because she needs to do more things like this! Thanks, Kelli!

Hello everyone! It's quite an honor to be guest posting on one of my favorite blogs! 

When Lindsey asked me to create a nail look for her blog, I immediately knew I wanted to try to recreate her incredible style of capturing realistic painting and fine details - but of course, I'm all about simple nail art, so I tried to pick a happy medium. I definitely went outside of my comfort zone for this manicure, so bear with me, but I'm pretty satisfied with the results ;)

Deb Shops - Mani Monday: Pastel Tribal Print

As seems to happen around here often, I've got another mani monday post to share with you all! I've put together this easy how-to for these fun pastel tribal nails which you can hopefully soon see over at blog.debshops.com. Since there is a bit of a delay in the tutorial being posted to their site, I'm going to share it here instead! Let me know what you think and be sure to check out the Deb inspiration dress! 

The Hunt - Mani Monday: Daisy Crazy

Happy Monday! Let's kick off the week with a simple daisy look, shall we? I put together a quick how-to inspired by this top I saw on the hunt. You can see my full tutorial now over on blog.thehunt.com

What do you think? Hope you're all making it through the start of the week! I'm wishing I was still on vacation ;)

The Lacquer Legion - Garden

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Sunday, all! I'm back from my vacation (we went camping in Yosemite!) and I've still got one more awesome guest post to share with you in the next few days, but I figured I'd get back to sharing some original content from me as well :)

For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you may remember that two months ago I shared a teaser photo of a mani I had just done...but I completely failed at actually editing the photos and getting my act together to write the post. But I'm fixing that now!
