Friends, does your brush look like it's trying to take up dowsing?

I accidentally sent out some mis-sized brushes!😅 If you send me a single "brushes x number you need"  through where you bought the polish (lostlakenails.com or Etsy) I can send you some new brushes through the mail pronto. 

My apologies and big thank you to those who reached out to me 💜!! by @lostlakelacquer

Confession: I haven’t seen any of the Alien movies, but this banger of a collection from @lostlakelacquer has it at the top of my list. The glitter! The thermal! The NAMES! Swipe through to see them solo and read the descriptions, which are just as fun as the polishes👽🛸 

Paid to swatch, no obligation to post

When Is A Machine Not a Machine? This is the philosophical question posed by Alien: Earth, a show about the exploitation of deadly alien life forms, dying kids and deluded adults just trying to do their job. 

Inspired by the melange of organic and inorganic, When is a Machine not a Machine is a mix of neon yellow and green hex, black bar and matte glitters, and chameleon gold flake. Best worn as a topper or in 2-3 coats with a glitter top coat and peely base coat.

Hangry Orchid
Is it a plant? Is it an animal? Whatever it is, it’s coming for you! This thermal-solar polish is inspired by the terrifying new alien species introduced in Alien: Earth, D. Plumbicare aka “The Orchid”. She is best in two to three coats. Finish with a glitter top coat for a shiny and smooth finish. 

Weyland-Yutani Corporate Gray
The true monster of ALIEN is the faceless, cold megacorporation that will gleefully sacrifice all human lives for a chance at capturing a dangerous new life form. 

Weyland-Yutani Gray is a neutral gray crelly with a pink shimmer. Best in 2-3 coats. 

In Space, No One Can Hear You…AWGRRKAKAK
This is a beautiful green polish, very reminiscent of a certain reflecting pool, and inspired by the iconic green and black poster from ALIEN. 

Fun fact: green is entirely absent in the movie. The designers thought the color would communicate space horror to potential audiences in 1979...and it worked.

Just Listen to the Scientists
This movie would have been over in 9 minutes if they had just listened to Ripley. Some things just don’t change, do they?

Just Listen is an absolute sensory nightmare of white hex, black bar and matte glitters, and silver linear holo. Best worn as a topper or in 2-3 coats with a glitter top coat. by @lostlakelacquer

(Gifted to swatch) 
NOLAN XAVIER WELLS. Do not forget his name. He is a beloved son, brother, teammate, friend, and child of Mississippi. It has been over three months with no answers and no justice for Nolan. His death will not be swept under the rug or forgotten. His family is shouldering the burden of laying their beloved son to rest as well as trying to bring his memory to justice. But there will be no peace until there is justice for him and the family that will forever love him. 

"He Is Loved" is a #charitypolish by #lostlakelacquer, gifted to me to swatch on their behalf. $3 of this purchase go directly to the #nolanxavierwells family gofundme.  This#magneticpolish is a regal blackened navy blue base with bright green shards and flakes and a rich bronze magnetic blazeing through. In my opinion, "He Is Loved" perfectly captures the heaviness of his death, but is still striking in its beauty. 

Keep him and his family in your hearts, and if you are able, please donate to his family either through the language of beautiful, meaningful polish, or directly through the link on my profile. Any money we can spare goes towards the family's costs for pursuing the truth on behalf of Nolan. by @lostlakelacquer

[I was sent this polish for free to swatch, but was not paid for my photos and I’m under no obligation to post]

I am a Black mother of a mixed race Black and Jewish child and I spend a lot of time thinking about all the ways this world could harm my child. 

I think every Black parent does. We do our best to prepare our children and ourselves. But nothing can prepare a parent for the death of a child. 

It is so against the rules of nature that a parent bury a child that the pain of it is often impossible to overcome. 

The pain I feel for Nolan Wells’ family is indescribable, but only a small fraction of the pain that his family feels at his loss.

@lostlakelacquer made this beautiful polish to try to raise money for his family and the justice they seek and deserve. 

He Is Loved is a blackened navy jelly polish with green chameleon flakes and a bronze magnetic effect.

If you’d like to own this polish, please buy it. If you don’t that’s fine too. If you are able please give to his family’s gofundme. If you are not, please share the link in my profile.

Nolan Xavier Wells, you are loved. When they speak about you, they talk about your humility and kindness. The smile that was pure delight to everyone around you. You liked to share corny dad jokes. When your mom was sad, you comforted her and held her close.
 
This month and through October, we are raising money for Nolan's family.

While there isn't enough money in the world to make a dent in their loss, maybe we can help with the cost of justice. $3 from every bottle will go to the family's GoFundMe (link in comments).

I finally got my hands on Reflecting Pool Green from the @lostlakelacquer Ripley’s Collection. 

This is a stunning grungy green from Lost Lake!

It’s beautiful but it’s also a bit haunting. And very extraterrestrial.
