Psst.

Hi everyone!

I'm sure you've all heard about the impending retirement of Google reader. There's a really cool app-ish thing called Bloglovin out there that also lets you keep up to date with all of your favourite blogs. I pretty much just started using this, but it seems pretty handy so far.

This post is also a bit of a shameless plug for my blog... Okay, not really shameless, because I am a bit ashamed of myself for doing this... but if you're on Bloglovin, feel free to follow my blog! If you do (or already do) I give you a virtual hug or high-five, if that's what you prefer. I'd also give you all cookies, but my virtual baking skills need some work (see Exhibit A, below).

Exhibit A: A virtual cookie. Made by yours truly. Those are supposed to be chocolate chips, by the way.

So, if you would like to, feel free to follow Lively Lacquer on Bloglovin!

Thank you for reading this post even though it doesn't feature nail polish! I promise you there's a post tomorrow (not the rest of the CG holos - sorry, there has been absolutely NO sun here for the past week!). In the meantime, here are some cute pictures of Sophie (my cat) and Yuki (my dog).

Thank you for reading! We'll be back to our (ir)regular posting starting tomorrow!

Franken - Queen Sophie

Good morning everyone!

I had a dream about frankening up a pretty purple holo a little while ago, so yesterday I set out to try to make it really happen! This franken didn't turn out exactly how the polish in my dream came out to be (it was a really light lilac colour), but it's still really pretty! It's actually not as linear as I wanted it to be either, more like something in-between a scattered and linear holo.

I used a little bit of China Glaze's TMI (HTF I know... :( ) with a little bit of blue to tint it to a red leaning purple.

I decided to name this one "Queen Sophie" after my cat, mostly because I like putting names to things and it also gives me an excuse to post a picture of her.. ;)

Ah, the queen lying in her chosen napping place.. I'm sure I have a lot of other (more embarrassing for her) photos lying around on my computer, but this was the only one I could find fast. Mayhaps those pictures will show up later.. :D

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy your Friday!
