But anyway! I wasn't completely torn about having to work before Christmas, because I found this gem at my mom's salon... OPI Blue Moon Lagoon! I've never gone dusty hunting before in my life, so it was such a nice surprise to unintentionally find this polish just waiting for me on one of her nail polish racks. And of course, my mom let me have it (: *happy dance*
I didn't mind that my other design got messed up, because it gave me an excuse to try out my new dusty. I knew it was going to be sheer by the looks of the bottle, so I layered it over Orly Gumdrop.







For reference, the colors I used were:
-Orly Gumdrop
-OPI Blue Moon Lagoon
-Wet n Wild French White Creme
OPI Blue Moon Lagoon toned down the brightness of Orly Gumdrop, but I still love how it turned out. Delicate holographic seafoam-y awesomeness!!!! I really can't wait to wear this combo again.
On another note, I want to inform you guys that I've changed my blog name to LAC LAC! I found out that another nail blog has a very similar name (Lace and Lacquers), so I felt the change was necessary to prevent any sort of confusion. The new name is essentially a cut down version of LACquers & LACes. It's quirky and it reminds me when one of my foreign biology professors kept enunciating LAC Z during a lecture about lac operons... I guess you had to be there, but it was so funny at the time and I'm never going to forget that lecture (:
Anyhow, I like the new name, and I hope you do too!
Have a great day, and thanks for reading!

I <3 Blue Moon Lagoon. It was one of the first holo polishes EVER! You're mom is awesome!
I hope you had a great Christmas! :) I didn't know that your mom owned a salon- that's so awesome. Like mother like daughter, I guess ;)

And lastly: lol lac operons. It's not time to head back to school just yet! ;P
Whoa congrats! That's an awesome find!
It's pretty hard to come up with a unique nail blog name (haha even mine is pretty terrible) but I really like your rename. LAC LAC it is!
That's the cherry on top of a good week :) It looks fresh and fantastic! I had noticed there was this other blog called almost the same, Lac Lac sounds good :) Happy New year, Eileen :)
