Happy Thursday! Great Lakes Lacquer is back with a new collection, and it’s inspired by the movie The Lorax! This is the Let It Grow collection.
Let It Grow collection is a 7 piece collection. The additional 2 shades will release at the same time, but they are Limited Edition and only available for this preorder window. There may be some overpour available in July – but it isn’t guaranteed and if it happens – it will be in limited amounts.
To see all 9 shades swatched – check out my YouTube channel:
Overpours (in limited quantity) available will be: SB Unicorn Poop and Shimmer Member 4 Ever. This will also be the final restock of the Polishing Poetic Collection.
For the fine details, I do use Apres Gel X Nails in Extra Short Stiletto which are clear nails. I do not use blurring base coats or anything to increase opacity of the nails – and it shows during my YouTube videos especially. With the clear nails, if you can see through the tip still – then odds are you will also see VNL through the polish I have on. If you cannot see through them, then opacity was likely reached
I work during the day in a medical office, and on weekends I enjoy day time shenanigans with my son – so most of my swatching is done at night in studio lighting. I also use a fairly basic, older point and shoot camera (Nikon L830) and I don’t do any fun frills to be fancy cause I don’t know how, if we’re being completely honest.
Alright – let’s jump in! This set releases May 24th at 9am Eastern.
Great Lakes Lacquers | Butterfly Milk
Butterfly Milk is a soft, sheer orchid crelly base filled with red to orange to gold shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
“Those are trees. Real ones. They used to grow all around here. And people said that the touch of their tufts was softer than anything, even silk. And they smelled like butterfly milk.”
Great Lakes Lacquer | I’m Frankenstein’s Head On A Spider’s Body
I’m Frankenstein’s Head On A Spider’s Body is a dove gray with an aqua to indigo shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
“You listen to me, boy. Don’t go poking around in things you don’t understand, or I’ll be your worst nightmare. I’m Frankenstein’s head on a spider’s body!”
Great Lakes Lacquer | I’m Going To Eat This, But I’m Highly Offended By It
I’m Going To Eat This, But I’m Highly Offended By It is a pure white marshmallow crelly base filled with a silver to purple to pink and orange shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
My camera was turning it a weird yellow reflection – that’s not there in person and the shimmer is more noticable. My video shows this polish much more accurately.
“How dare you! Give me that! [He grabs the marshmallow. Sniffs it. It smells good] Mmm. I’m going to eat this, but I am highly offended by it.”
Great Lakes Lacquer | Let It Grow
Let It Grow is a grass green jelly base filled with green to blue to purple shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This is my top pick of the collection.
‘You can’t reap what you don’t sow.”
Great Lakes Lacquer | Summer. Autumn. Winter. And… Disco.
Summer. Autumn. Winter. And…Disco is a pale mint crelly base filled with an orange to gold to green shifting shimmer and gold holographic micro glitter. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
“Why do you need a tree? It just… sticks out of the ground and it does what? I don’t even know what it does. Look! We’ve GOT a tree! It’s the Oak-a-matic! Three modes! Summer, Fall, Winter, and… Disco!”
Great Lakes Lacquer | Unless Someone Like You Cares A Whole Awful Lot
Unless Someone Like You Cares A Whole Awful Lot is a foil like orange base filled with orange to gold shifting shimmer. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
Great Lakes Lacquer | Greedy Little Dirtbag
Greedy Little Dirtbag is a sheer, muddy brown jelly base filled with aqua to indigo shifting shimmer with hints of purple at the extreme. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Great Lakes Lacquer | A Butterfly (Limited Edition)
A Butterfly is a strong red to orange to gold shifting shimmer and linear holographic. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
In honor of my Mother, without whose support, love and acceptance, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
