Geekish Glitter Lacquer 2nd Indieversary Overlook Hotel Collection

This is a very special blog post because we are here to celebrate Geekish Glitter Lacquer’s Indiversary!! Yay! *confetti* *air horn noises* *more confetti*
Lexi started Geekish Glitter Lacquer on October 13th, 2017, making Geekish Glitter Lacquer TWO this year! She says that she likes to keep it spooky for her indiversaries, which means Ashlee is gonna have a bad time. But here we are, and I love the collection very much (even though now I am obligated to put on my big girl pants and finally watch The Shining). 😉

So let’s get to it!
This year Lexi completed a long planned out collection with Jessenia (@lielovelivelove) based around the famous Stanley Kubrik movie, The Shining!
This Overlook Hotel Collection will release on Friday October 11th at 12:00PM MST/ 1:00PM CST. Each polish is $8 and the entire collection can be purchased for $36.

Now on to the scares! I mean polishes!

Some Shine and Some Don’t

Description: A light beige crelly base packed with large red hex glitter, medium orange hex glitter and neon blue microglitter
Inspiration: Our boy Danny and the print of the famous carpet in the Overlook Hotel
Price: $8.00

My movie scene thoughts: This has been deep thoughts with Hallorann.

This is two coats of polish over a normal base coat and topped with a QDTC
The polish removed easily and I only had to rub the larger red glitters for them to come off easily at the end

For this nail art I used:
UberChic Beauty Plate 16-01
Lantern & Wren Flight of Fantasy
Maniology Bam! White

All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy

Description: A nude crelly base with navy microglitter and matte red microglitter
Inspiration: The very infamous typed message from Jack and his cozy looking flannel
Price: $8.00

My movie scene thoughts: That is so much wasted paper and ink.

This is three coats of polish over a normal base coat and topped with a QDTC
The polish removed rather easily for as much microglitter is in it and I did not have to scratch at my nail to get any leftover glitter off!

For this nail art I used:
Moyou London Scholar Collection 02
UberChic Beauty Pretty In Plaid
Maniology fireside, crystallized

REDRUM

Description: A bloody red jelly base with red holographic micro shreds
Inspiration: Danny’s little friend Tony and the ominous message on the door
Price: $8.00

My movie scene thoughts: I feel like I need a cough drop now.

This is two coats of polish over a normal base coat and topped with a QDTC
I have not removed this polish yet but after a day there is no chipping and cleanup around my nail after I applied the polish was easy!

For this nail art I used:
Maniology fireside, Brush 106

Come Play With Us

Description: A light blue crelly base with metallic red shreds
NOTE: More flakies will be added in the release batches!!
Inspiration: Everyone knows the creepy Grady twins, right? This is based on their blue dresses and their unfortunate murder
Price: $8.00

My movie scene thoughts: Don’t you do it Danny. It’s a trap!!!

This is two (three on one nail to smooth it out) coats of polish over a peel off base coat and topped with a QDTC
These photos may make the polish appear a little bit brighter blue than it actually is in person

For this nail art I used:
Maniology Ballet Flats
UberChic Beauty Holly Jolly

HERE’S JOHNNY!

Description: A dark grey base with a pinch of metallic silver pigment with red holographic microshreds and matte red microglitter
Inspiration: You know the scene where Jack loses his mind with the ax? Here’s the polish!
Price: $8.00

My movie scene thoughts: Dang Wendy, at least grip the knife!

This is two coats of polish over a normal base coat and topped with a QDTC
This polish could actually be a one coater, but I do two out of habit
I also expected this polish to stain and to be a pain to remove but it was not and it did not stain. It didn’t even stain my fingers after removal much if at all.

For this nail art I used:
Maniology freedom ring
UberChic Beauty Zombie love 2

FINAL THOUGHTS
I honestly am really excited that I got to blog about this collection. It’s a big deal having a brand anniversary and I love all of the colors together! They even got me out of my comfort zone (yellows, tans, scary movie themed–all out of my comfort zone).

If I had to pick a favorite, it might be REDRUM because dang it is a nice jelly and I am going to try and rock this redrum nail art for as long as I can!
