Review - The geek-stuff-loving Accio Lacquer reviews three of my colors!

Righ' cheer.

And look how wonderful they look!

 She takes way better pictures than I do! This is Time And Relative Dimension In Space (Doctor Who Line, obvs), Get Out Of My Shuttle (Firefly Line, second round) and The Precious (Hobbit Line). I sent her these because she requested the geekiest ones, and these were my favorites of the geekery at the time of the order.

Get Out Of My Shuttle. I love this color, and I'm so glad it looked so great on her!

Her review is fab--she found matching gifs (an idea I'm totally ganking for this blog!) and made this great collage for the post!

The Precious. It looks less green and more gold in the light here where I formulate these babies, but it's still gorgeous!

Time And Relative Dimension In Space. This is one of the first ones I made when I started, and I still love it!

Mishka's Accio Lacquer blog is amazing and she's so much fun. Go follow her!

I'll be listing the Holiday and Hobbit Lines tonight or early tomorrow!

Here's a peek:

 The Holiday Line:

• Frosty
• Starry
• Hearthfires
• Evergreens
• And a bonus made from all the glitters of the other four called Holiday Excess!

I almost changed Hearthfires and Evergreens, but after wearing them and living with them, I decided that I like that they're a little subtler than Frosty and Starry. Those two are bling-tastic and the picture hardly does any justice to their shininess!

The Hobbit Line:

• The Shire (thumb)
• The Dwarves (ring finger)
• The Dragon (middle finger)
• The Precious (pointer)

I love these. Again, my crappy camera doesn't do justice; Shire practically glows, and Precious is a fabulous molten-gold color that I just adore.

The'll be in the shop soon, so be sure to check them out! They'll be introductory-priced at $7 until right after New Years and the Hobbit Premier respectively, when they then go up to the full price of $9 and other lines will come out!

This month, I still have two custom colors to show you, probably also this week, and then, after a respectable time, I'll show you what the first two exclusive colors for the Polish of the Month Club looked like!*

Stay tuned!

*If you sign up before the fifteenth (tomorrow), you can still get the November colors, so move fast!

First look at the Christmas and Hobbit Lines

Related: I've really got to get a better camera for this stuff.

All the supplies for the Christmas and Hobbit Lines are in!

I'm going to try to squeeze in a little formulating today, if my schedule allows between school catch-up, finalizing this crazy-long move we've been going through, and not dying of the stress. If not, it'll probably be early in the week next week. Then I'll have new colors posted as soon as I can!

For reference, here's what I have planned:

Christmas / Holiday Line:
Four glitterbombs -

• Hearthfires - Multiple sizes of red glitter in a red base, probably with my beloved red or gold* highlights
• Evergreens - Multiple sizes of green glitter in a green base, with green highlights
• Frosty - Multiple sizes of silver glitter in a silvery base
• Starry - Multiple sizes of gold glitter in a gold base

Hobbit Line**:

• The Shire: Fresh, grassy green with lake and wildflower glitter
• The Dragon: Smoky grey-black with fiery glitter
• The Steel: Dwarven steel grey with plate-maile glitter
• The Precious: Bright gold with a little sinister glow in it

Stay tuned! I'll have inspiration collages up for them once I've finalized the colors, and I'll let you know when I post them in the shop!

*The gold shine especially should just be my calling card, how you know it's my polish!

**This sounds like a map-thing: Beyond the Hobbit Line, you'll find the lands inhabited by halflings.

Update on the Christmas and Hobbit colors, and the future

The stuff is on order and will hopefully be here on time, and even if I'm late on the Hobbit (it comes out sooner than I thought!), I'm putting it up.

The Hobbit:

• Leaving the Shire - green
• Dwarven Maile - steel grey
• Shadow of the Dragon - smoke and fire
• The Precious - darkened gold

The Christmas Line is unnamed as yet, but will be glitterbombs to glam up the holiday the way you should!

I've decided that for the New Years colors, I want to do a line based on Florence + The Machine songs--deep, rich shades with glitter, but probably not glitterbombs, and maybe flakies, depending on how I can get them.

Then, sometime in time for mid January, I'm aiming to do some rich, dark Downton Abbey colors. I mentioned that before, but I really want to do them!

Anything you guys would like to see?

October and November nail polish premiers

It's almost October! I've launched the Halloween Line and the Firefly Line already, and I'm planning what'll come out next month. So far, barring sudden changes in the muse, shipping or supplies, here's what I've got:

• Early on: Doctor Who Line: Tardis, Control Room, Console, Time Vortex
• Later: Thanksgiving: Probably named after classic parts of the Thanksgiving dinner, or else super-jewel-toned harvest colors. Maybe both, if I can get the supplies.
• Possibles: Likely some additions to the Halloween line--probably opaque versions of the current sheers; if they're up in the first week or so, it's a go.
• Official Opening Day / Grand Opening color. Undecided on actual color, but it'll have lots of celebratory glitter!

In November, I'm looking at:

• Commemorative colors for my Sister and my Niece's birthdays, and maybe my Dad's
• The first of the Christmas / Winter Holiday colors, with more the closer to Christmas we get, and then toward the end, the New Years Glitter Bombs
• Somewhere around the middle, The Hobbit
• If there's still time, the first of the Downton Abbey classy post-Victorian colors (if not, this'll probably wait until January, because December will be busy!)

Stay tuned for the December launches, news and release announcements!
