Lacquer Convention: For Good Duo

On the Facebook machine, I post a lot of franken pictures for my friends and family to see and this is a result of one of them. I posted the first polish, Elphaba, with another franken I did and loved and my BFF suggested that I name it Wicked and do a collection based on the book/musical.  I considered it, but after some thought, I decided it was a good idea, but I didn't want to do a whole collection.  I did get to talking about doing the second polish and I knew that I was at least going to mix something with that in mind.  So here I am, showing you my two Wicked polishes: For Good Duo.


Bottle shots!  They're in the test bottle stage right now, so I do anticipate some tweaking with glitter and formula!


This is Elphaba, a black jelly packed with fine mixed green and gold glitter and large holographic gold hexagons.  I have to get my micro glitter options out and fiddle around with them before I make a final call on how I want this to look, but this is a good prototype!


Galinda is a bubblegum pink jelly packed with fine pink glitter and larger periwinkle and holographic purple glitter.  It's really sheer at this point and my nails are yellowed from constantly wearing polish, so I layered it over Barielle's Sailors Delight for this manicure.  I'm probably going to shoot for something a tad more opaque, but I still want to keep it relatively sheer so it won't change too much!

I wanted to name them Wicked and Popular originally, but I didn't want any confusion with Revlon's re-release of Starry Pink as Popular, so I fell back on these names.  I'll be showing you more swatches soon, I'm sure.  I wore Galinda as my manicure over the weekend and it wore fantastically well for almost four days.  I'm so so glad that I found a top coat that wears like armor for me!

Anyway, back to the point!  I'm projecting that these polishes might make the initial line launch, but I can't say for sure.  They might be available a little while after.  I'm waiting on materials again to produce more of them and finish the formula!

Thanks for reading!
