Great Lakes Lacquer Review

Today I have a review of a brand new brand that has been making quite a splash in the world of indie polishes this year!

*Press Samples*

I have two polishes to share with you today from Great Lakes Lacquers first collection, The Friends Collection Pt. 1. Mariah, the genius behind these polishes, created a collection of polishes inspired by her friends! How sweet is that?!! I think that is so cool! How awesome would it be to have a polish inspired by your personality?! 

So let's get to the swatches of these awesome polishes shall we?!

First up we have The Triathlon Trainer. This polish is a gorgeous blue jelly polish packed with all sorts of beautiful shimmer and multichrome flakies. I love looking into the depths of this polish and finding more and more layers of beauty to it. It sparkles bright in the light and then shows its depth in the shade. Lovely inside and out. And for a jelly, I only needed two coats for this opacity and it applied like a dream.

Let's hear a little about the inspiration behind the polish shall we?

The athletic. She’s as active as you can get and sometimes, it annoys the crap out of you. Why can’t I have that kind of energy or drive? Haha. This lady runs and walks and runs some more. But her favorite is swimming. Her love of water really is apparent. Her scuba dives are awesome. She’s even swum with a Whale Shark. I’m eating my own heart out thinking about it.









This beauty is Krazzzzie Fast Fingered Gamer Girl. This is a gorgeous green leaning turqouise creme polish with gorgeous shades of violet flakies creating a vivid purple flash. This polish has it going on! This formula was on the thicker side, but not difficult to work with. Just work in thinner layers and you are fine and the polish is opaque in two coats.

And now a word from the maker about the inspiration behind this polish!

This lady is the one you want on your team when you go raiding on WoW or any other role playing game on the net. She’s also a good one to have by your side during nail polish restocks, cuz that girl can snatch anything. She’s also just the sweetest thing on earth (with a bit of attitude on the side) and just a bit shy. Did I mention pretty nails? Gosh yes. Luckily she can deliver the nail polish she enabled you on because she’s krazzie fast.

Overall I am very impressed with Mariah at Great Lakes Lacquer, she has been super professional to work with and she is also very sweet! She also has some awesome monthly polishes, and I have the next two to share with you toward the end of the month. I've been seriously eyeing the August ones and after how impressed I was with the quality of these, I might just have to snatch those up too!

These polishes are available now in the Great Lakes Lacquer Etsy Shop. Don't forget to follow this brand on Facebook and Instagram for more details on upcoming releases you won't want to miss out on! Oh and she has a Facebook fan group too, so if you like Great Lakes Lacquer, you should totally join in on the fun there too!

Have you checked out this brand yet?! What have been some of your favorites so far!?
