It is that time of the month, it is almost the time for Indie Pickup (IPU) and Polish Pickup (PPU)!
This month, event will be between February 7-10, and I have IPU and PPU contribution by Lucky 13 Lacquer.
As IPU contribution, we are having a Lucky 13 Lotion of Immortality Trio.
Lotion of Immortality is a thick moisturizing lotion, wonderful on cuticle and hands and anywhere else! Made with Shea butter, Aloe and love.
You don't need much - little goes long way. Use only 1/4 tsp for both hands, or half that just for your cuticles.
This month we have trio of 20g Lotion of Immortality jars. They come in following scents:
SHE LIKES MY SPARK - Perfectly toasted marshmallows and burning embers. Inculudes notes of ooey-gooey toasted marshmallows with mellow hints of burning wood. To me, I was really soft, sweet vanilla-ish scent.
Inspired by Calcifer from 'Howl's Moving Castle'.
SOOT SPRITE SHENANIGANS - Happy little helping hands just add candy! Includes notes of sweetened fruits including pear, kiwi, raspberry, grape and peach plus hint of jasmine and lily. I found scent really fresh, and not overwhelmingly fruity, super pleasant, and possibly my favourite of the trio.
Inspired by Soot Sprites (Susuwatari) from 'Spirited Away".
KEEPER OF THE FOREST - gentle rainfall as you rest in a hidden tree hollow. Includes notes of forest foliage and hint of cedar. I really want to describe this one like a main character in romantic novel - He smell like a wood, fresh air and aftershave! LOL! My son is really happy owner of this one.
Inspired by Totoro from 'My Neighbour Totoro'.
When: Feb. 7-10.
Where: Indie Pickup.
Price: $11 for trio.
Cap: 50 US/ 10 UK (may increase).
For PPU, Lucky 13 Lacquer has an amazing polish named Soot Sprite Shenanigans.
Have to show you swatch right away.
Polish is fully opaque in 2 coats, but third one will give it extra depth. On the swatch, I am wearing the top coat.
Those flakies are magical! Color shift is absolutely amazing, and added scattered holo makes this extra magical. This is possibly my favourite creation of Anya.
Inspired by Soot Sprites from 'Spirited Away' and 'My Neighbour Totoro'.
Because I was not familiar with the characters, I used good old Google to find out more about Soot Sprites that inspired such a pretty polish.
Soot Sprites are small round balls made from soot, that live in old and abandoned houses, and leave black dirt in their wake.
If house becomes inhabited, they decide if inhabitants are nice people or not! If they are nice, they will leave.
I even found images of them, and I decided that they are easy enough for me to paint on my nails, and use those cute star shaped glitters that came with the polish.
Because I loved this polish so much, art was done on one nail only. I also loved those flakies glossy, but wanted to show them off matte, so I applied matte top coat over the pinky, so you can see them at the same time. First two photos are with glossy top coat, while on last two I am wearing matte top coat on ring and pinky.
Both- Top + Matte top coat are by Lucky 13 Lacquer, which I purchased myself.
I have to admit, I loved this manicure so much, I ended wearing it to work for 3 days!
