Introducing Majestic Lacquers

Things have been pretty quiet around here but for very good reason. I have been very busy these last six months researching and finally creating my own line of indie nail polish! This is very near and dear to my heart and has been such a journey but with a community full of very supportive indie makers I have made it to my launch day! Here are some swatches from my first collection. click to enlarge Green Goddess is a muted seafoam green...

NOTD: Aztec Mermaid

Hey folks! So this manicure came out sort of by a terrible accident in my garage one night using a jar from the dollar store and a LOT of nail polish.

NOTD: Mint Textured Stamping

This is what was born. click to enlarge I started off with two coats of OPI - Alcatraz Rocks then used my Pueen plate to stamp on a coat of American Apparel - Office and then sealed with two thick coats of top coat. This looked great in the sun and the mint shade really brightens up a dark manicure. So what do you...
