I'm sharing another Great Lakes Lacquer polish today. This one will be available for sale at Hella Handmade Creations from December 14th through the 21st for $13.00 with no cap (subject to change). Here are some details from the brand:


Inspired by Katara, standing up for herself, using her untrained yet still amazing waterbending skills.

This is another stunner! You Can't Knock Me Down was opaque in 3 coats, and I had no application issues   whatsoever.

I had the pleasure of swatching some upcoming Great Lakes Lacquer polishes, and I wanted to share Love Wins with you today. From the brand:

Inspired by one of the shows my family and I binged during early quarantine, She-Ra and The Princesses Of Power on Netflix.

Light grass green with a soft linear holo, this is filled with a pink/purple to gold to green shifting aurora shimmer with purple to pink to orange to gold to green iridescent flakes.

$1 for every bottle sold will go to GLSEN, who 'champion LGBTQ issues in K-12 education since 1990.'

Love Wins has become an instant favorite! The shifting shimmer dances on the nail, and the iridescent flakes add such complexity to this shade. I see a hint of holo in direct sunlight, but I wouldn't say that it is the main feature of this polish.

Love Wins applied beautifully in two coats. The flakes dispersed evenly onto my nails with no effort on my part, and I experienced no dragging or pooling.


You can grab a bottle of Love Wins for $13 (no cap for now) this weekend (Dec 4-7 2020) from Polish Pickup
