Literary Lacquers: The Community Collection - 84 Charing Cross Road

*This product is Cruelty Free 


Tomorrow, I am going to be showing you the entire Community Collection, a brand new collection from Literary Lacquers, which consists of 10 new collaboration shades. And I got to create one of them with Amy!!!

Literary Lacquers
The Community Collection





I'm so excited! So naturally I have to show you "mine" first! Mine is called 84 Charing Cross Road - inspired by one of my favorite movies/books. In the world of books, especially 40's era stories, which is where 84 Charing Cross Road begins, it's a sepia-toned world, much like the pages of the old tomes central to the story of Frank and Helene. The sparkling rainbow, subtle in the shade, bursts forth in the sun, like the characters of Frank and Helene bursting forth from the un-earmarked pages of 84 Charing Cross Road. For anyone who loves books, they already know this is true for all of the stories and characters and worlds that lie within the sepia-toned pages of those leather-bound treasures.

  4. Not really a fan of holos, but there was no way I was gonna read this post and NOT tell you how much I adore the movie! (I haven't read the book yet!) The name of this polish seriously had me grinning like the Cheshire cat. Awesome choice. :)

    1. YAY another 84 Charing Cross Road Lover!!! I'm not huge on the strong linear holos - she said I was the first person who ever asked her to make something LESS holo! I love the subtle scattered holo effect of this one. ♥
