A Cornucopia of Mustard Gardens

Lacquistry is back!!!  I've been kicking myself for MONTHS over not getting her to make me any custom polishes.  I've been waiting.  Patiently.  Not so patiently.  Gnawing on my cuticles.  Jonesing for a fix.

And then she released her fall polishes.  I had to have them all.  I've missed her polishes so very much.

The thing about Lacquistry is that not only does she make gorgeous polishes that have a great flair for color mixtures and glitter selection, but she has hands down the GREATEST customer service out of any polish maker.

A few months ago I get a package in the mail from Lacquistry, it was a replacement for my Lake Placid on Acid, saying there was an issue with the formula on the old batch (on some of them, not necessarily mine) and that wasn't okay, so she replaced it.  Without my asking.  I was floored.  In all honesty it makes me want to support her more because I just want to reward someone who has such pride in their product that they go to great expense to make things right. 

Here is Cornucopia.  I decided to layer it over 2 coats of my "pretty ugly" base of Hampstead Gardens by Nails, Inc.  There is a reason this baby is always on clearance at Sephora and that is because it is just very....mustard. 

However I thought the mustard would bring out the colors in Cornucopia, especially since this has a darkened base to it.  I was really thrilled with the results and I stared at my nails for DAYS!  The color spread and glitter variants in Cornucopia was just gorgeous.  I think it would look great over a deep brown as well.  It screams fall as well.  It went on easily and was easy to get the glitter to spread on the nail and lay down.  Just a home run in every respect. 

I loved this and I can't wait to try on the others in the collection and buy up all that she has to offer!



You can purchase Lacquistry through her Etsy Store.  Nails, Inc can be found at Sephora.

  4. Oh I love the glitter on top! Great combination, I think it really pulled that mustard out of it's ugly zone!

    1. I agree, when I got it in the mail I was like "why did I buy this?", but I finally found a use for it!
