5 out of 5 starsI am in love with this nail polish! I have bit and tore my nails for years, so when I finally let them grow out I was dying to do something nice with them, but they're very sensitive after so much damage. I knew I needed to find a nail polish that wouldn't do more harm to them, but I also wanted something pretty too. This nail polish did just that, it is gorgeous and does not bruise or weaken your nails. The reference to Phantom of the Opera really was the icing on the cake for me too. Seller is also very nice and more than happy to help if you have any questions. I can't thank her enough for her assistance and her wonderful nail polish, I hope I can order more soon!

About ALIQUIDLacquer
Unique handmade nail polish
I had spent the past several months slaving away on the two qualifying papers for my Master's degree in linguistics. My fiance was working in another state, so I had only my dog Trudy for company. On the day I finally passed my exam, I decided I needed a break, and I really needed a new hobby. Almost at random I decided on nail art.
I loved the way nail art allowed me to express my creative side, which hadn't had much exercise in a long time. I think nail polish is unique in that a single manicure can tell a story in a way that no other makeup can. I started a blog to showcase my swatches and attempts at art, and it was through blogging and meeting other nail polish addicts that I discovered indie polish.
It was only a matter of time before I decided to try my hand at making polish myself. It would be a great way to show others what was going on inside my head. Ever since opening ALIQUID Lacquer in November 2013, I've tried my best to design polishes that have meaning to me, whether inspired by a favorite book, place, or experience. And of course, Trudy has been there for me the whole time!
It feels great when someone else loves my polish as much as I do. I hope you find something here that speaks to you!
About the name: "aliquid" is a Latin word meaning "something, anything". The accent is on the first syllable, just like my name, Alison!
