The name is perfect too... Vodka & Vicodin. A scary combination but here, what a play on words... this.  is.  STUNNING!!!

No blah blah... here she is...

RIGHT!??!!?  GAHHHHHHH!!!!!

So I took this beauty Out & About town with me, to the job and to the hairdresser's.  And I am telling you... in snowy weather with no sunshine, in full sunshine, in the shade this is GORGEOUS!!!

Two coats was a smooth and beautiful buttery application and a quick top coat.  If you are new to Don Deeva, well that is exactly what you can expect EVERY time! It's buttery, self leveling and just goes on so smooth.  I do a little heavier ish coats, maybe it's average I dunno.  But if you do thinner coats, you will definitely want to do three coats for the full coverage like I am showing you.

YES!!  As if the multichrome alone isn't HELLS YES GORGEOUS... then we have that holo that my camera did NOT approve of!

When is nail polish like a bag of skittles?!?!  WHEN IT'S VODKA & VICODIN!!! It IS a bottle of fruit flavor AND COLORS!!!!

These photos friends... the SAME NAIL POLISH!!!  It is ALL the many faces of Vodka & Vicodin!!!  My mind is blown and I TOOK ALL the pictures!!!  STUNNING!!

She primarily was the soft purple to a poppin purple and these beautiful shades soft dusty blue to a teal of blue and a fierce deeper blue... but then this fuchsia color would show up and say HEYYYY... but THEN... then there's this golden color, a rose gold but heavy on the gold... and in ONE picture (a macro) I was able to get a sliver of the green to say howdy.  WHOA!!!

So if you're newer here, when I am Out & About it's just me and my cell phone camera. Nothing fancy. No photoshop. No filters.  No flash.  No pretty poses, just me and the polish raw and beautiful. Anyone can set up some lights and take some pictures but I want to show you what it looks like in REAL LIFE!!!! 
the Don Deeva - Vodka & Vicodin - multichrome
This is the real thing baby!!!  Mmmmmm so yummy and just take my breath away pretty!!!

So now that I have given you some juicy photos...  I can tell you, if you haven't tried the Don Deeva... you might want to change that.  She keeps cranking out these gorgeous stunners that are mind boggling.  I MIGHT have a post coming VERY soon of some more saucy stuff... but you'll just have to stay tuned.

I have so many photos, cutting them down to a manageable amount was NOT easy.  LOL  The macros just blew my mind!!  Of course I do think my most favorite is the Out & About... this beauty.  That golden rose that popped out was by far my most favorite "ohhhhhh moment".

This baby is a bit blurred out so you can a) see the holo rainbow bits AND b) THAT GOLDEN GLOW!!!  That is as CLOSE as I could capture to the golden green that shows up here and there.  Just a hint and when you look back it's gone.   Ugh.... GOREOUS!!!  Ok more macros...

You see why cutting my pictures down was next to IMPOSSIBLE?!?!??!  Yes... all of them, every color that shows up is just gorgeous!!!  No matter the light or shade, fake light or real sunshine or a glow of a soft snowy day...  BEEEAUTIFUL!!!!

So I do NOT RECOMMEND this... but I seriously will just be lollygagging, you know, putzing around town in my auto and I'll look at my nails and go "HOLY SHEET".... then of course I pull out the camera and just SNAP SNAP.  lolol

I am very cautious when I do so, so it's not like I'm all willy nilly taking photos forgetting that I'm in a 2000 + pound auto.  No no... don't be silly.  I am most careful and cautious.  ;)   No worries.

The Don Deeva does her restocks on alternating Fridays. If you are NOT a member of her group on FaceBook, just click HERE, you really need to check that out.  The restocks/launches and sneaky peaks come out throughout the week.  Usually she's pretty tight lipped on the sneak peaks but Nina, the bad ass admin, she usually can pry something out of Dee.  Dee is the maker/creator/artist and she shows her passion in EVERY creation she puts out.  She mixes EVERY polish, EVERY creation with LOVE and THAT... THAT my friends, is what makes everything a GRAND SLAM!!!

If you have NO Don Deeva... then you need to rectify this PRONTO and you can thank me later.  Feel free, I make things easy, just click HERE.  She has some of THE best polish names EVER... and if you are too embarrassed to tell someone that your polish is called Pussy Button... just tell them you forgot but it's the Don Deeva.  They'll thank you later as well. 



On months where she's not cranking out duo collabs, or Polish Con sparklies... then she will hit up the group for some inspiration photos and she'll make a custom or two just for the group.  So, just another bonus to check out the Fb group.

Love you!

Friends, I am so excited to share SO much with you!!!  Welcome back to my blog, my little happy corner in the world where I share goodness, greatness, sparkles and sunshine with you!!!  Thank you for returning and thanks for waiting on me while I get my mojo back.  Prepare, this is going to be very photo heavy!

So I am VERY excited I have a brand I have never shared with you before AND.... AND... I am excited to tell you something new.  Everyone loves the pretty pictures that are staged with beautiful and unrealistic lighting, and often photoshopped (when did cuticles naturally become blurred LOL)... but if you want to BUY the polish based off of those pictures often, you are often disappointed once they arrive.  So... while I promise to bring to you those beautiful awesome photos but I am bring you something more.   OUT AND ABOUT!!! 

I am going to be Out & About with Anonymous Lacquer today.   What does this mean to you?  It means that I am going to go outside of my beauty room with the fantastic staged lighting photos, I'm going to take pictures OUT & ABOUT in the REAL world!!!  So, I am bringing to you realistic photos, photos of the polishes that you can expect to see while you are wearing them!!!  Yes, different skin tones will pick up slight differences and sure, different monitors/cell phones will take on a slight difference but I am bringing to you pictures with NO filters, NO fancy lighting, NO staging, NO photo shopping.  I am bring to you what you can expect to see!  No more false advertisement.

Friends, today, right now...  I am Out & About with Anonymous Lacquer and I am SO EXCITED!!!  So here goes... today I am sharing with you Third Eye from the Color of Magik Collection.

I love all things Magik so when I saw the collection I squealed a bit and naturally, I HAD to have it!! And WHOA... WHOA baby!!!  Third Eye WILL open you Third Eye and make you just burst with happy!!!!

First off, the formula, is GORGEOUS!!!  Buttery, applies smoothly and evenly.  No chunks, lumps, or bumps.  I applied two coats with one top coat.  GORGEOUS!!!

I'm first going to show you this beauty Out & About...  so out in the sunshine and out in the real life with just my phone camera and the light that I was able to catch it in.

OH MY BIZCUITS!!!!!  LOOK at those color shifts...  from a beautiful slateish blue to cobalt blue to a teal to a popping purple... then out of no where, a red rosy and golden glow.   ALL of that... ALL of those colors in this one gorgeous little bottle of love!!!  I die!!!!  Every time I looked at my nails the colors were SO pretty!!!  In sunlight, shade, in my car, in the grocery!!!
Anonymous Lacquer Third Eye Colour of Magik Collection Out & About
I just die over this shifter...  the blue to blurple was the most often shifting changes I saw when I was Out & About or indoors.  However, the Out & About (previous) is when the rosy golden  would pop up and scream SURPRISE!!!  I didn't even mention this yet but LOOK at that HOLO!!!  The scattered holo gives this beauty an internal GLOW!!!!  Mmmmm I love me some holo!!!

This teal blue is so gorgeous and the polish in EVERY shifty color just blew my mind.
Anonymous Lacquer Third Eye Colour of Magik Collection Out & About
Purples are not my usual love but I do believe that's changing due to this Third Eye, so popping and stunning!!  It screams LOOK AT ME but in such a shifty manner!

This is the blue that I call a slateish with a little royal blue...  ugh, SO PRETTY!!!  DO YOU SEE IT?!?!?!   Ugh... I can't love it more!!

So here is the transition... starts in this beautiful blue.

Then it starts to pop and a pinch of that rosey color is in there, just a smackeral...
Anonymous Lacquer Third Eye Colour of Magik Collection Out & About macro
Then BAM!!!!  Popping purple for DAYS!!!!  And still a wee smackeral of that rosy goodness.  Just enough to say "hey purple it's not all about you"!!

Here's a great collage for you to love and see all of these gorgeous colors in one spot.  Seriously - this is ONE POLISH!!!!!  So STUNNING!!

One more from my Out & About, I just can't get enough!  Now, if you have been with me for a bit you'll know I paint my nails almost every day. I can't help it, I just get bored, maybe it's my OCD.  (And I have so many I really do need to use them.)  LOL

However, this lovely beauty actually was on my nails for 3 days, and even then I didn't really want to remove it!!!  It was SO shifty and sparkly that I couldn't get enough and I was NEVER BORED!!!

Friends, if you love a multichrome, if you want LOTS of colors in ONE nail polish, THIS is the sex kitten to buy.  Not to mention, but the maker, Mildred is a DOLL!!!!! She's bad ass and sassy, just the way I love my friends to be!!!  Plus, she loves and appreciates nature, so that sealed the deal. 

Here friends, go shop.  Peruse her shop and bring home some lovelies so you can ohhh and ahhh like the Fourth of July.  Just click HERE.  OH... I almost forgot!!!  She has some cuticle love products.  She sent me a couple of the Budda Balm samples and first, they smelled SO yummy but they were deliciously moisturizing for my poor cuticles.  I have her oil as well and it smells fabulous and again, so moisturizing.  My cuticles thanks her.

* nothing to disclose *

That's all I have today friends, I hope you enjoyed being Out & About with me.  I'll be back again soon, I PROMISE and I'll be Out & About with a another beautiful soul/maker's goodies.  SOON!!! Until then, smile big, love large and share that beauty with the world around you!!!! 

Love ya!
