4 out of 5 starsLove love love the color. Super neutral and very subtle but classy. I also love that the polish does not smell as bad as the drug store brands. Great for doing my nails around the baby. I only wish it was a little more affordable, because I'd stock up! But it is beautiful so the price does reflect the quality of lacquer. Excited to try more. Hope you have a rainbow one soon!!

5 out of 5 starsThe perfect winter pink with sparkle. My new go to polish as it goes on great in just 1-2 coats and doesn’t chip easily. I was my hands several times a day, work with equipment and even through washing dishes—it holds up. Always appreciate how quick from order to arrival ALIQUIDLacquer is!

5 out of 5 starsLooking forward to sporting this excellent grey to match the winter wonderland in January. These polishes are so well made that they don’t chip and go on great without streaking.

5 out of 5 starsThis is the perfect blue and sparkle! Great polish—as my manicure lasts over a week without chipping. Super swift shipping is also quite a treat.

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!
