Takko Lacquer Spring 2013 Inspiration

HEEELLLOOOO BEAUTTIIFUUUL LADIESS!!!

Long time no... well blog ^_^ 

Hope everyones been fab and is having an awesome new year so far ^0^

I have for you today inspiration boards for the new collection that I have been working my tush off for. It's kinda a peek into my head and to give an idea of the new colors coming out =) So let begin!!

Opium

So let's start of with a color thats not so... "springy" It's deep black with poppy red-orange shimmer that changes to vivid green. Looks dangerous and poisonous, helps me channel my (cue the sinister music) inner villainess...  

Pucker Up

A tart pinky orange jelly with hints of gold and pink shimmering flecks. Reminds me of that moment you bite into a sugared grapefruit with causes you to pucker your lips up and scrunch your nose. A very flirty and amorous spring color. 

Maneki Neko

This is a not so "Takko" Takko... It's my first glitter polish ever!! ^_^ It's packed full of emerald green micro glitter with dashes of silver, light gold and holo glitter. Inspired by the green bib around the japanese maneki neko... a kitty cat that brings in good fortune. Hope this Takkito brings you good fortune too ;)

Whimsical

This is a sweet lilac powdery purple creme with pops of true blue shimmer. A very fanciful & delicate color that reminds me of the merry go round horses I use to still love to ride while eating that big o fluff of purple and blue cotton candy. Hee hee! 

Marie Antoinette

Inspired by one of the scenes in my fav movies of all time, Marie Antoinette! It's a aqua-tiffany blue creme with pink and violet shimmer dancing thru it! I envy this scene, I wish I was getting a foot rub, wearing elaborate & elegant couture, eating Laduree macarons and pastries in a beautiful Versailles room. Who doesn't? lol

Glittergasm

Annnddd glitter bomber number 2 from Takko Lacquer! It's a chunky monkey type of glitter packed with various sizes of fuchsia & hot pink glitter with hits of multi colored glitter and holographic stars in a clear base. It's definitely a party in a bottle! So much FUN, it ROCKS!! ^_^

So that's my new 2013 Spring collection! I hope you guys found some you love in the bunch! They will be available Feb 8th! And the prices range from $9-$15 I will be sneak peeking bottles on my Instagram and Twitter. Oh did I forget to mention... yes I did forget! Takko Lacquer is now on Instagram ^_^ Until next post! Stay fabulous my fav lacquer-heads!

Takko Mani-Bomb-omb!

Ok so what exactly is a "Takko Mani-Bomb" It's the same concept of a bath fizzy or bath bomb but for your hands! The Mani-Bomb is packed with Vitamin E, it helps strengthen nails and helps peeling nails. It's also really great for your skin!  It is also infused with Aloe Vera, to soften skin and help fight bacteria. Inside the Mani-Bomb there is a bit of sugar & shea butter scrub. It's to scrub away dead skin cells, moisturize and soften skin and cuticles.  okie dokie! So lets begin...

You are going to need... 

A bowl or container large enough you can dip both hands in

A towel or paper towels (regular napkins can get messy)

1. Fill the container half way up with water at your preferred temp, some like it hot some like it cold ;) Then lay the container on a flat surface. 

2. Now drop the bomb into the water and dive your hands right in! The bomb will start dissolving and releasing the Vitamin E and Aloe Vera in the water. Let your nails, cuticles, and skin absorb the goodies from the infused water!

3. After the fizzy-fying action stops it will leave behind a bit of sugar & shea butter scrub. Use it to exfoliate your hands (You can dip your forearms and elbows too and exfoliate away)

4. After you're done scrubbing dip your hands one more time in the infused water and remove all the scrub residue left out. 

5. Once you're done your hands may feel a little oily. Don't rinse off! Massage your hands, then use a towel or paper towel to wipe down your hands (forearms & elbows too) Then just let your skin absorb the rest of the nutrients.

Tah-Dah!! You have baby butt soft hands now ^_^ I invented this because I suffer from winter hands (even in Florida were it barely gets cold and don't let me get started on how bad it gets when I go to NY) Also I'm allergic to most dish detergents, after doing dishes my skin gets red dry and irritated badly. Aaannnddd I have also suffered a bad case of the peelies before =( I had to trim down my nails and massage them with Vitamin E and had to go without polish for a week! ::GASP::

So I hope you all love the new little freebie! I'm really grateful to all of you! It will be one per customer per restock. (So if you order this friday, you will get one and then if you order again next friday you will get another ^_^)

Hasta la pasta!

OHHH some MOAR info ;) These are as all my products CRUELTY FREE (^o^)
and these are also vegan!! <3

Takko Lacquer Winter Collection 2012 & Takko Mani-Bombs!!!

Good Day Lacquer-heads!! I have some new news for you guys that I'm so stoked to share!!

First of all I have two new colors coming out Nov 16th!

This is a very sensual red, that oozes sexiness. It's for those bombshells who turn heads and light up a room walking in.  "Va Va Voom" is a deep wine metallic crimson red with linear and scattered holo <3

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise: what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You See? Makes sense? Nonsense! "We're All Mad Here" yup we kinda are and it's great! This one is a deep sea blue with orange shimmer and green flakies!

Nextttt it's a new invention of mine called a Takko Mani-Bomb!

So what is it exactly... it's a spa treatment, moisturizer and exfoliator for your hands rolled up in one! If your familiar with bath fizzies or bath bombs this is the same concept but for your hands (arms and elbows included ^_^) Though only white ones are pictured these will come in various colors ^_^ And these will be FREE yup FREE! Who doesn't like free stuff? As a token of my appreciation to you all!! It will be one per customer with purchase starting Nov 16th to the end of the year! Instructions on how to use it will be coming up on the blog next week since they're a little more complicated then reg bath bombs. They are packed with Vitamin E and Aloe Vera and are filled with a Shea Butter Sugar Scrub, also they are fragrance-free so it won't clash with perfumes and lotions ^_^

Hope you guys all love it!! <3
