Love Notes, Bug Juice, & Smamfa - GG Couture

Today, I will show you three gorgeous polishes I worked with GG Couture to create. 

To create your own or purchase from the shop, check out GG Couture nails.

Each of the three polishes had fabulous application and dry time. No need for fishing out glitter!

First, Love Notes. This was inspired by this photo:
I took the photo. Don't steal it. 

I layered two coats of Love Notes over a beige base.



Second is Smamfa. This one is named after my younger sister's nickname, created for her. It's her favorite colors and made to match a quilt I created her. 

I used two coats of Smamfa over a medium gray base.

I also painted the underside of my nails red.

The third polish was created for my youngest sister, and it shares her nickname, Bug Juice. It is her favorite colors, and again, matches the quilt I made her.

I wore three coats over white.



They all smell divine.

Aren't they fabulous?!

A Silicone Deer.

Fabulous. Marvelous. Spectacular. Gorgeous. Thank goodness she's keeping the 'recipe' in case I use this up crazy fast! -Nik


Everything Nik said, plus- Amazing. Fantastic. Classy. Delicious. -Desi

We thought we would do a joint post here to show you an awesome polish that we are both very excited owners of.

This polish is called....

A Silicone Deer.

Anyone able to guess why?

Anyway, this polish is a custom creation for us by Gabrielle of GG Couture Lacquer.

A Silicone Deer is a medium gray jelly polish. It smells of oat, milk, and honey. Yummy. It has metallic teal circle glitter, and small metallic teal, holographic teal, matte white, and matte bright yellow hexes.

It's sheer and build able.

It's designed after our gray and white Chevron aprons from Butterfly Designs. Desi's had yellow trim and Nik's has teal.

Nik's photos show A Silicone Deer over NYC Sidewalkers. The middle and ring fingernails have two coats of A Silicone Deer, and the rest have one.

Also, there are two with matte topcoat, which Nik put on two days later. It looks fabulous both ways!


























Desi decided to show A Silicone Deer over a beautiful teal called "Go Overboard" by Essie. This is one coat of Go Overboard with 2 coats of A Silicone Deer. Pre-cleanup, as usual. Sorry.

But I love this. I don't want to take it off. And it smells amazing. Yep. Scented nail polish, y'all. It's a winner!
How cute is that GG bottle? A bow & a gem on top? Classy! Love it!

I'm an awful photographer. My crappy iPhone pics do this amazing combo no justice. Just trust me when I say that this is probably the BEST indie polish I've ever tried. I hope to add more to my collection ASAP! -Desi
