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 My Friends, My Anchors Picks

Hey everyone! I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is my hockey team – the San Jose Sharks, lost in the Stanley Cup Finals. The good news – my schedule will no longer be bogged down so back to regular posting I hope!!!



Today I have three lovely polishes to share with you from the Anchor & Heart Lacquer My Friends, My Anchors collection, which is scheduled to restocked with some new releases Thursday June 16 at 9 p.m. ET. I purchased these three when the collection first came out, and with a restock imminent, I thought what better time to share with you these polishes but now?!









First up is Anchor & Heart Lacquer The Free Spirit. Yellows don't typically call to me but the extra sparkle in this one did for sure! It is a beautiful butter yellow crelly with subtle rainbow iridescent rainbow sparkle. That added sparkle really makes this yellow something special and makes it stand out and unique in my collection. The formula for this is on the thick side, I would do three thin coats for opacity.









Next we have Anchor & Heart Lacquer The Rock. This is a lovely darkened grey holo polish packed with iridescent purple and copper flakies which give it this lovely purple glow. Amazing forumla, applied perfectly in two coats. This polish is a stunner, I have nothing like it my collection and I just love that it has depth from the flakies and looks good indoors and out!









Finally we have this lovely bright stunner, this is Anchor & Heart Lacquer The Selfless. This is a pale minty blue creme that has the most gorgeous red shimmer that I promise is more prominent in person than what my photos capture. This red shifty shift is what attracted me to this polish in the first place. The formula on this was on the thicker side as well, was more of a crelly consistency. Stick with three thin coats (with drying time between) for optimal application.

I've been really impressed with Anchor & Hearth Lacquer lately. Her polishes have been unique and fun and Taryn, the shop owner, is a sweetheart as well. Don't miss out on the restock tomorrow, June 16, at 9 p.m. ET.

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!
