Anchor & Heart Lacquer Campfire Duo and Bikini 2.0

Happy Monday everyone! Today I've got three new polishes releasing later this week!

*Press Samples*

These are three new polishes from Anchor & Heart Lacquer and I'm so excited to be sharing them with you today. Anchor & Heart has had some beautiful releases lately and this brand is newer on the indie polish scene so if you haven't had a chance to check them out yet, I suggest you do!

Today I'm sharing the fun Campfire Duo and Bikini 2.0, all have a great shimmer, character and depth and perfect for the late summer into fall transition. These three polishes will be available for preorder at the Anchor & Heart Etsy Shop at 8 p.m. EST August 4. 

First up we have Anchor & Heart Lacquer Bikini 2.0. This is a gorgeous kelly green jelly polish packed with gold and blue iridescent flakies providing beautiful depth and shimmer. The formula for this polish was on the thicker side, not difficult to apply, and built up perfectly in two coats. Shown here with a quick dry top coat.

I just love this polish, it reminds me of freshly cut grass with that extra special sparkle, like grass twinkling in the sunlight after being freshly watered. 

Next up we have Anchor & Heart Lacquer Beer 'n Smores. This is a gorgeous dove grey crelly polish packed with bronze, silver and black flakies with holo microglitter to boot. This polish applies pretty sheer on the first coat, but builds perfectly in two coats.

Ohhh I just love this polish. A beautiful neutral polish with depth and character. Not your typical subdued polish. Totally evokes smoke from a beach bonfire, which my husband and I love to parktake of during the summer months. 

Last but not least, we have Anchor & Heart Lacquer Midnight Embers. This is a goooooorgeous oxblood jelly polish filled with golden flakies, black flakies which creates the most beautiful golden glow. This polish was easy to work with, similar formula to Beer 'n Smores, builds up easily in two coats. 

This polish is definitely my favorite of the bunch. This polish is just vampy enough that it sparks my longing for fall and cooler weather just ahead. It's not just vampy though, it glows, just like the smiling faces at a summer bonfire.

Once again, these three polishes will be available for preorder starting Thursday August 4 at 8 p.m. EST on the Anchor & Heart Lacquer site.

So which of these is your favorite? They are all super beautiful, but Midnight Embers has totally and completely stolen my heart!

Anchor & Heart May Fan Favorites Duo

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I have a fantastic pairing of polishes to share with you!

*Press Samples*

These polishes are the Anchor & Heart Lacquer May Fan Favorite Duo. The Fan Favorite Duos are limited edition polishes that are released monthly by the brand and are usually inspired by Sunken Treasures (mystery polishes) that have attracted a lot of attention from the Anchor & Heart Facebook fan group. 

The duo will be available to purchase 9 p.m. EST Thursday May 12and will cost $18 plus shipping.

Let's get to these beauties shall we?!

First up I have Anchor & Heart Lacquer Mermaid Kisses. This is a light and bright pink with pink (looks blue/violet to me) glass fleck and pink shimmer. This polish was a delight to see indoors and out. In direct light you can really see the shimmer out to play and in the shaded light you can see the glass fleck in all its beauty. 

The polish was on the thicker side, consistency wise, but was not difficult to apply and for me worked perfectly in two coats. 

Next up I have the queen of all glitter toppers. This is Anchor & Heart Lacquer Swimming Pool Mermaid. This polish is packed with different types of glitter (gold, holo and matte) in all different sizes and shapes (circles, hexes, rhombus, square). The application was not difficult, I used one coat over Mermaid Kisses and I thought they looked swell together. 

For someone who isn't into glitter toppers too much, I really enjoyed this special treat because it had so much going on and was fun to examine what made it on to each nail! 

This polish was originally crafted for the group admin of the Facebook fan group. She said it reminds her of when she was a child and pretended to be a mermaid while swimming in her grandmother's pool. 

I think both of these are bright and fun and perfect for the incoming warmer weather. It's always pool weather in California, so I definitely see myself breaking these out for a fun pool outing soon! 

Once again, in case you scrolled through, these limited edition polishes will be available for purchase from Anchor & Heart Lacquer 9 p.m. EST Thursday May 12 for $18 plus shipping. 

So what do you think? I was super impressed with these and have really enjoyed my interactions with this new indie brand so far! I hope you check them out soon!

First Impression: Anchor Heart Lacquer

Happy Friday everyone! Today I have a quick post to share about my first impressions of a newer indie on the scene.



I had been seeing Anchor Heart Lacquer swatches popping up here and there on several of the blogs I have been following and I was totally intrigued. One particularly bright shade kept catching my eye and I just knew it was high time I try them out.

I made the order on a Monday morning and after browsing the Facebook page noticed I just missed a sale she was having. I commented on the photo saying just ordered my first two or something to that effect, and low and behold she discounted my order retroactively even though I did not order during the sale. So ridiculously nice and unnecessary. She also had a great turnaround time, I think I got these in less than a week!









First up we have Anchor Heart Lacquer Wherever I'm With You. This is a dusty purple jelly packed with blue shimmer and some ultra chrome flakies. I found the flakies to be mostly violet, but some were greener/gold in color too. The blue shimmer and violet flakes really made this polish a unique stand out in my collection and the shade of purple was unlike other purples – a dusty plum color. The formula was on the sheerer side, it being a jelly and all, but it built up nice it three coats for opacity.









Next up we have this neon beauty which was what caught my eye again and again while scrolling on Instagram. I'm actually still wearing this one because I can't shy away from a super awesome bright neon coral! This is Anchor Heart Lacquer Vacation Land. It is a bright coral neon polish with a subtle linear holo finish and beautiful violet iridescent glitter. This one has so much character and depth, I immediately fell in love. The formula is on the thicker side, just have to be careful not to overload your brush when applying the polish. I used two coats for opacity.

So overall I am very impressed with this new indie. I had a great interaction with maker and I'm looking forward to what she has coming in the future.
