Literary Lacquer is back and here to stay! No more monthly pop-ups, the shop will remain open and stocked beginning today. Amy has loaded a heap of inventory for us, some new and some returning. I've linked my reviews of returning polishes in the list at the bottom of this entry, and the rest are in this review. I hope you enjoy it!
Ocean at the End of the Lane Trio, inspired by the book of the same title by Neil Gaiman. They are the next three polishes below.
Lettie's Ocean - Sparkling ocean blue holo. Designed with Carolyn Chambers (trio)
Miner's Gift - Blurple multichrome with holo microflakes. I wore three coats and topcoat. (trio)
Swaying Grayly - Matte grey with silver flakes and glass fleck. Designed with Adrienne Nguyen (trio)
It's definitely a three coater, but it's matte and metallic at the same time and comes across almost looking like stone.
Literary (&) Lacquers facebook group custom - limited, sale ends 7/9.
Handful of Falling Stars designed by Kaitlin Vasatka inspired by The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
Navy blue mega glitter holo
The next polish is a gift with purchase: mini bottle with $20 purchase, full sized bottle with $50 purchase
Feather Family - Soft pink holo with holo microflakes. Inspired by The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers
When I was searching for the right name for this gift with purchase polish to adequately express the gratitude I have for the support and love given to me by my fans and customers as I come out of this long dark period of LitLaqlessness, Alex pointed me in the direction of The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, a brilliantly fun sci-fi book by Becky Chambers. The book introduces a few interesting alien species, including Sissix, the reptilian feathered Aandrisk tech.
“Okay, well, on her wall, there’s this big fancy frame with a mess of Aandrisk feathers hanging from it. Every Aandrisk’s got one, as far as I know. See, if you’re an Aandrisk and somebody really touches your life in some way, you give that person one of your feathers. And then you keep the feathers you get from others as a symbol of how many paths you’ve crossed. Having a lot of feathers on your wall shows that you’ve had an impact on a lot of people. That’s a pretty big priority for most Aandrisks. But they don’t give feathers out casually, not, like for helping you carry something or giving you a free drink or whatever. It’s got to be an experience that sticks with you, but it can totally be between strangers.”
Thanks for being my feather family. ~Amy
These next few polishes are a blast from the past:
Green Gables - a mid-toned grass green linear holographic polish.
Lake of Shining Waters - a murky teal linear holographic polish
Raspberry Cordial? - a raspberry pink linear holographic polish with added holo glitter
Marilla’s Amethyst Brooch - an amethyst shimmer polish with a pink to orange flash
If It Pleases You - a deep plum with a touch of brown (or bruise colored if you will) linear holographic polish.
Some Glad Morning - Cyan linear holographic polish
I used two coats and a topcoat unless otherwise specified and all the polishes' formulas were amazing as always with LitLaqs.
