Paint your nails Blue day 2 and 3 My Families nails!

Yesterday was officially the autism awareness day. i had planned on doing a big thing on my blog about it but after all the other stuff going on with this month it totally got away from me! so today i am sharing with you our whole family's manis for autism awareness day!

first up are mine.
1st April Mani- this was Lokis Lacquer Allons-Y 3 coats by itself with top coat.

 2nd April Mani- i used Essence I love bad boys topped with DIFFERENT dimension -light it up blue. which is awesome as it glows in the dark blue!!!

Todays Mani- 3rd April- i am wearing one of my all time favorite polishes. but i only have a mini bottle so i do not wear it very often. it is by Dollish Polish and called- It is bigger on the inside. i love how it is the perfect blue with tiny tiny flecks of lighter blue through it.

So now we are up to my Hubby Rob. He is wearing Revlon Royal. one coat. i honestly do not think her would have sat still for more than 1 coat. Plus OMG the moaning about getting stained nails!!! he was worse than us nail bloggers about it!!! it was like harden up rob!!!

Next up is Poppy my youngest. she was very vocal about getting her fingers AND toes painted. and HAD to choose the polish! so on her toes Poppy is wearing shades of Phoenix Astraios. she made me laugh as she went nuts when she saw a little glitter star on her toes! 

And on pop's fingers Poppy picked Zoya Noel. i love this polish as i only needed to put 1 coat on her pinkies!!!

 And last up is Zoe my eldest. She is the reason we do all this as Zoe has Autism. Zoe wanted to make her own polish for this day and i let her loose on my lokis lacquer glitters and tints!
She came up with a polish she called mustache cash stash. a quote from regular she informs me! plus she also says she is going to make a WHOLE collection! we will see!

So everyone has blue nails in our house!!!!

It's Lokis birthday so lets celebrate!! with a freebie!!!!

So it is Lokis birthday next week and to celebrate i ma having a giveaway on my Etsy shop Lokis Lacquer.

So when you purchase anything from my  Etsy shop Lokis Lacquer from 25th-31st March 2013 you will get a free mini bottle of a LE polish called Loki-Dokie. which is what lokis nickname is :)

It is a beautiful teal jelly with many different size teal/turquoise glitters including large and samll dots. there is also holo lavender squares and purple hexes. very cute :) here is a swatch of the polish and a close up.
I used 3 coats and a coat of seche vite top coat. as the dots are heave you have to shake really well and may have to fish for a few if you want them on every nail. this is the price to pay for these awesome large dots :) but well worth it!

Also one day next week over at lokis lacquer Facebook page i will put a code up for 17% off all that day. so make sure you head on over every day to check out for the discount!!

there will also be some other polishes getting listed too in the TV and Movie section of my shop.

but for now i wanted to share with everyone how my easter polishes look under a dark base. it is amazing how different they look once a different pair of undies is used!!!
 so here we go!

First up is spring has sprung. buy popping this lovely green polish onto a dark base you can totally see the pink shift a million times better than on a bare nail.
this is 1 coat over ulta3 black satin.

next up is bluebell, buy popping it over again ulta3 black sattin you can really see the copper flecks a great deal more. and also the blue polish looks a lot darker even a little metallic navy!

my 3rd polish called hey chicky! has a slightly green look over ulta3 black satin  and you can really see the little bit of glass fleck when it is over black.

 Easter egg hunt is a lovely mixed array of matte pastel glitters that match perfectly with the other 4 polishes in the collection. this i one coat painted on.

 last one is my favorite called Buddy. when popped over ulta3 black satin this polish really pops! you can really see the scattered holo and it really looks metallic!

so you can but these polishes over at LOKIS LACQUER from 6PM tonight.

Lokis Lacquer Easter Collection

hello there everyone! so easter is upon us ..well almost... and i have my limited edition easter collection for you to check out.
This collection will only be available from 1-31st march 2013.
There are 5 polishes in the collection and yep they are pastels. but all with a little bit of a twist. It was really hard to capture them on film, but if you have ever brought my polish before you will not be disappointed with the different effects i have used in these polishes.

Ok so first up is my favourite in the collection- Buddy.
I named this polish after my daughters plush bunny which she calls buddy. Zoe has had this plush toy since she was 2 years old and still has in now. whenever she is upset of sick,good old buddy re surfaces to keep her company :)

Here is Zoe with buddy when she was 3.

with this polish i wanted to capture the lilac of buddy but with a bit of a twist. so this polish has ultra fine holo glitter in it and the polish also has a green to pink shift.

as you can see with the top pic there is that greeny silver shine and on the second pic there is a pinky shine. also note the holo. so hard to capture, but it is there :)
This is 3 coats by itself with no top coat.

Next up is - Spring has sprung.
I love green, and easter really is all about spring grass and beautiful pretty flowers.
with this polish i made a green holo polish with a pink shift. Again sooooo hard to capture :( but i tried my best :)

I'm sure you can see the slight pink shift in this polish. it is more defined in real life.
This is 3 coats buy itself with no top coat.

Our 3rd polish is called -  Bluebell.
I lived in the UK for 6 years and bluebells for me really depict easter. they were everywhere!!!
This polish is a lovely cornflower/bluebell colour with a copper glass fleck through it.

I love how this polish turned out, but SO hard to capture the copper flecks. it heps also if the silly clouds did not keep going over the sun when taking the pics!

You can see some of the copper flecks in the macro shot.
i used 3 coats with no top coat.

So second last is - Easter egg hunt.
This is a matte glitter bomb of many different pastel glitters. please note that this mix of glitter is hand made and NOT a brought pre mixed glitter. there are many of those out there but personally i find you cannot get the same effect when you use glitter mixes.

I just wanted this polish to be used as a topper and co ordinate with ALL of my other easter polishes. and when you look at the polish you will see that every glitter matches up pretty close with the same coloured polish :)

I used 1 dabbed coat over lokis lacquer bluebell.

Last up is a polish called - hey Chicky!

I named this polish for 2 reasons. first was because after making testers, the polish reminded me of fluffy little chicks, and the other reason i have a mate Rachael...yes you know who you are PB.... who Always say "hey Chicky!"so i HAD to name this polish for her :)
 This polish is also a little different too, it is a yellow shimmer polish with gold effect iridescent flakies, a foil effect pigment and to top it off micro fine holo glitter with sterling silver flakies.
it is very blingy!

i used 2 coats by itself with no top coat.

So this collection will be for sale over at LOKIS LACQUER from 6pm EST on the 1st march 2013.
The prices will be $5.00 for minis and $9.00 for full size polish.
