Liquid Lacquer Dazed and Confused

     

     So you know what they say about all good things, and on that note (pun not intended, not really anyway...nevermind) we've reached the end of the Zeppelin tour. As such, I though it was necessary to give you one last look at this:

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true.

At least I'm ending it on an awesome polish based on a killer song. Dazed and Confused is a creamy cool-toned gray with a scattered holo shimmer. The really unique thing about this polish is, the holo shimmer actually makes it look some a sort of sparkly speckled marble up close. No matter how I tried there was just no possible way to do this color the justice it deserves. Shown is three coats.

Direct lighting:

Now that I've listened to worn the whole album collection, I have to say it was no less amazing than the songs it was inspired by. The creamy holos take a tad longer to dry than the others, but that's just characteristic of those types of polishes. Overall I have to say that my only disappointment was that my favorite Led Zep song of all time, The Rover (also from Phsyical Graffiti) wasn't bottled and holo'd up, but otherwise they got a whole lotta lovin'. Since my camera just couldn't do this color enough justice, go to Liquid Lacquer's Site to grab a bottle for yourself, and be a Facebook groupie while you're at it. For now, we're going to have to say "Babe I'm gonna leave you" to Robert, Jimmy, John and John Paul, but you can always go back and ogle the gifs. I know I will.

This polish was purchased by me.

Liquid Lacquer Dancing Days

     

     Today brings something of a somber post. Not too long ago, a minor tragedy happened. I'd just done my nails with Dancing Days and put the bottle on the kitchen table. This is a cautionary tale about leaving a parrot unattended for even .2342523 of a second. Lestat made a beeline for the shiny, got it in his beak, and dropped it smash on the floor in less time than it takes to whip your head around, apparently. Kind of made me go like this:

Is that the way it should start?

     Needless to say I was not dancing. This also means, sadly, that there are no bottle shots this time around because I hadn't gotten the chance to photograph it yet. But for the few days I had it on the color was still positively dance-worthy. Dancing Days was--sniff--is a pinkish lavender jelly holo. Shown is three coats and maybe a few tears of devastation.

Direct lighting:

     Even more sadly, this one is currently sold out, and I have no idea if it's coming back. Supposed to have been LE. But check out all the other awesome colors on the Liquid Lacquer site and updates with new colors on Facebook, and maybe dancing days will be here again.

This polish was purchased by me (and broken by a very naughty parrot).

Liquid Lacquer When the Levee Breaks

     We've arrived at our next stop on the Zeppelin tour, and it sure is rainin'. Not sure if it's Chicago or down South, but wherever it is it keeps on rainin'.  You knew I was inevitably going to start geeking out on lyric references at some point. Anyway, there's no actual rain required to see the rainbows in what I'm about to show you. Even Robert's seeing rainbows.

Thinkin' about my baby and my happy home

     So maybe he was a little high on the adoration of millions of screaming, fawning, flailing, bra-flinging fans in this short. Or on…other things. Whatever the case, When the Levee Breaks is a periwinkle-ish blue holo that really is like wearing a rainbow in a blue sky right on your fingertips. Not so much in the lightbox shots (light boxes will kill holos like nobody's business), but if you've got the jitters just waiting to see what I mean, scroll down to the photos I took in direct lighting. Shown is three coats and a whole lotta rainbows (see what I did there?).

 

Direct lighting. Keep your panties on.

      Before the levee really does break and floods wash all of this glorious rainbowgasm away, be a groupie and grab the sweaty shirt off Robert Plant's back a bottle over at the Liquid Lacquer site or stalk tour bus on Facebook. Robert told me it's stopping by a Halloweeny destination very, very soon.

      I also can't leave without a shoutout to the source of that scrumdiddlyumptious gif I posted at the top. Plant Me a Robert. Best. Tumblr. Name. Ever.
