Hi everyone. This might be a bit long for some of you but I want to be completely honest and transparent so you all know what's going on.
First off I want to apologize. I'm so sorry that many of the orders for the Holo-maniacs group custom have not shipped yet. I really thought I would have had all the orders shipped by now--or at least the ones made before the extension of the buy period. Below is a full account of why.

Halloween 2015 Collection: The Vagantem Damnatorum Release
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages welcome to The Vagantem Damnatorum!
Inside you will be enlightened by Madame Alina the Fortune Teller, hypnotized by Magnus the Magician, terrified by Levi the Reptile Boy, enticed by Serafina the Firebreather, and delighted by Stitches the Clown. A chosen few will even meet the Ringmaster himself! Can you face the temptations and horrors within?
Beware and take care while inside the carnival because not all is what it seems. If you find yourself wandering too long and forgetting the world you left behind, you have been chosen by the Ringmaster to become a pawn in his game. Will you face your fears and receive your prize at the end or will you succumb to wickedness and fall? Brace yourself and come inside.

Lemming Lacquer Try Us Sale
Fall is coming and with it a lot of new products will be added to the shop including new collections launching in September. Also, we now have a Facebook group called Lemming Lacquer Legion. Be sure to join for previews of upcoming releases, group exclusives, small batch prototypes and sample sales, and be the first to receive announcements about sales and promos!
I would like to discuss something that has been on my mind lately. With so many great indie brands available, I know it can be difficult to support all the brands you would like due to budget constraints or you may only buy from one or two brands exclusively. It's with those thoughts in mind that I would like to announce Lemming Lacquer's Try Us Sale.
This is an opportunity for more people to try Lemming Lacquer nail polish and nail care products as well as experience our customer service and personalized packaging. Use code TRYUS for 30% off a purchase of $10 or more starting Friday August 21st - Wednesday August 26th.
Give us a try and see why reviewers and customers are blown away by how opaque yet squishy our jelly glitter polishes are, how quickly our nourishing cuticle oil sinks into skin and how silky your hands feel after using one of our mani bombs.
As a reminder, polishes from the My Lemming Tis of Thee 4th of July trio will be discontinued at the end of August so get yours before they're gone!

Lemming Lacquer Launch!
Helloooooo and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers in your various forms and circumstances!
I know I haven't posted in a long time but that is because I had to get everything set up for the launch of my brand, Lemming Lacquer.
Our first collection, Curiosities From Wonderland, is based on Alice in Wonderland and the various books, movies, video games, and other media inspired by Lewis Carroll's characters and fantastical world. The collection of polishes, 7 in total, includes one glitter top coat, three crelly/jelly glitters, one thermal crelly/jelly glitter and two holographic polishes. Our polishes are all 5-free and are a true 15ml/.5 oz full size.
Curiouser and Curiouser! is a delicate pale sky blue holographic with gold shimmer that captures Alice’s iconic dress, naivety, and her well known blonde locks. Modest, sincere, and girly this polish personifies the innocent female protagonist we all know and love.
Her Imperial Viciousness is a jewel-toned red with different sized copper, red, and black glitters, color shifting iridescent glitters and a generous helping of black heart glitters. It is inspired by the character Redd Heart in The Looking Glass Warsseries by Frank Beddor.
Ravens and Writing Desks has a teal-leaning green colored base with different sized holographic gold, lime green, and turquoise glitters and black hex glitters. Inspired by a combination of Hatter Madigan of The Looking Glass Wars series and the 1951 Disney Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter.
Eat Me is packed with small and medium sized matte glitters in all the colors of rainbow sprinkles. “Eat Me” is written on the cakes Alice eats to grow large after tumbling down the rabbit hole to Wonderland. This polish is inspired by the colorful baked treats in Alice in Wonderland and multi-colored sprinkles.
Drink Me is a lush purple jelly nail polish with small holographic hexes and medium and large holographic circle glitters. Inspired by the suspended “Drink Me” bottle and the subsequent purple bubbles Alice hiccups in shrink mode in the video game Alice: Madness Returns. Alice uses shrink vision to view hidden pathways and clues on upcoming enemies, puzzles, and invisible platforms.
I'm Not All There Myself is a velvet purple to vibrant pink color changing jelly polish with various sized round and hex fuchsia glitters and purple hex glitter. The jelly finish allows the lower layers of glitter to show through to offer a multidimensional look as complex as the mischievous feline it's named for.
Whooo R U? is a smoky, duochrome gray holographic polish with pinkish purple hazy overtones and bright blue sparks of shimmer. This polish embodies the Caterpillar’s languid smugness and captures the image of him taking long, cloudy drags off his hookah.
Check out a few reviews to see what bloggers had to say about our polish!

St. Patrick's Day Manicure with Lemming Lacquer
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I'm really excited about the mani I'm going to share with you today but first I wanted to give a little update. I missed the past couple weeks of posting because I broke my ankle! The whole thing was a huge mess, not because of the actual injury but due to the hospital's increasingly insane recommendations--one of which was sending me to a rehabilitation center in Iowa City or Peoria, each more than 1 hour away. Yeah, total insanity. I've been having a really rough go of it gimping around and doing even the most simple of tasks plus the pain meds like to make me dizzy and knock me out so going outside (my preferred swatching method) just hasn't been in the cards. I was ordered to take it easy and keep it elevated so I've been stuck in bed for the past few weeks. I've gradually been able to be more active and that includes getting these swatches in time for St. Patrick's Day.
Read and see more after the jump!

Nail Crazies Unite February Week 3: Candy
Heyyyyy,
This week's prompt is "Candy," another one that stumped me. I wasn't sure what to do until I was mixing last night and thought this would suffice. Although not exactly candy it is candy adjacent and definitely makes me think of sweet things.
I applied 4-5 thin tricky coats of the pale pink China Glaze Something Sweet (ha, appropriate). Formula was streaky, little bit of balding spots, and wouldn't self-level. Maybe it's because I'm choosing pastels lately or the weather, dunno. I added one coat of Lemming Lacquer Eat Me.
Eat Me is made up of every color sprinkles can be in various sized matte hexes and is inspired by the colorful baked treats in Alice in Wonderland.
I would have taken more pictures but my camera is just not very cooperative lately but hopefully that can be fixed soon!
As always please check out the awesome manis from the others in the group!

Lemming Lacquer Metallic Antique Gold Holographic Nail Polish
What a mouthful of a title! Sorry, it's unavoidable because I don't have a name for this one.
Normally when I make a nail polish I have already thought up what I want it to look like, I have a certain collection in mind and a name all picked out. However there have been two times so far when I've just thrown ingredients together to see what I came up with. I showed you one of these polishes here (also on Super Bowl Sunday, ha!) and now I have another one for you.
