Random Chat

Unbelievably, it has been almost a year since we've posted one of these. Jess just never remembers to save the chats. She shall try to remedy that!

This conversation has been edited slightly, mostly to remove the excessive swearing that occurs when the two of us get together lol.

Dana (3:27:48 AM): hey

Jess (3:28:02 AM): hi

Dana (3:28:25 AM): what's up kiddo

Jess (3:29:04 AM): remember that lacquerous website, the one where you rent polish. did you ever get in?

Jess (3:29:09 AM): cause check your email if not

Dana (3:29:19 AM): no, i didn't. and lol ok

Dana (3:30:28 AM): i didn't get anything. why?

Jess (3:31:04 AM): I did. I'm in. And don't feel bad at all. Because there's only 66 polishes there. And a lot are not hard to find or expensive

Jess (3:31:11 AM): they got a bunch of OPI shatters ffs

Dana (3:31:13 AM): LOL ok. then I won't feel bad

Dana (3:31:29 AM): 15 dollars a month when they only have 66 polishes?!?

Jess (3:31:45 AM): Exactly. And that's the version where they send you what they wanna send you.

Dana (3:31:52 AM): ...eff that.

Jess (3:31:57 AM): If you actually want to choose your polishes, it's like three dollars more

Dana (3:32:00 AM): I could do better than that with my effing stash

Jess (3:32:10 AM): You can log in as me and look around if you want.

Jess (3:32:14 AM): but right now, totally not worth it

Dana (3:32:21 AM): thanks. I'll check it

Jess (3:32:47 AM): I also don't trust them. I read ONE blog post, from like a year ago, that has semi false advertisement.

Jess (3:32:56 AM): http://lacquerous.tumblr.com/post/26355943429/luxury-vs-drugstore

Jess (3:33:15 AM): scroll down between the two images

Jess (3:33:33 AM): see where they're saying about drugstore polish not being 3-free?

Jess (3:33:54 AM): china glaze is 3 free

Dana (3:33:56 AM): right. How many of them AREN'T 3 free anymore.

Dana (3:33:58 AM): right.

Jess (3:34:08 AM): Rimmel london is FIVE free

Dana (3:34:35 AM): like zoya, yeah. And I wouldn't exactly call China Glaze a drugstore brand anyway. Sally Hansen, sure.

Jess (3:35:07 AM): They're fakers. They got some polish I never heard of, a lot of stuff I own, and nothing I'd want to try first

Dana (3:35:30 AM): also, it's bull that the designer colors are more on-trend. Dior might match the Dior collection exactly, but I ain't exactly buying Dior clothes either.

Jess (3:35:53 AM): I feel a blog post coming on lol

Dana (3:36:01 AM): LOL DO IT DO IT DO IT

Dana (3:36:14 AM): they have Private Dancer and OPI White Shadow. I have both of those.

Dana (3:36:49 AM): i have bitches brew. you probably have book of shadows from cirque

Jess (3:37:01 AM): nope.

Jess (3:37:22 AM): I love them but don't buy there often because they're too expensive for my tastes most of the time. When she has a sale, sure

Dana (3:37:56 AM): lol this is totally not worth it. it's a brilliant idea, but you better have EVERYTHING Dior has put out. And everything that I refuse to buy just because of the price. Where's the Lynderella

Dana (3:38:32 AM): and all the OPIs are shatters except one. where's the san francisco collection?!?

Jess (3:38:38 AM): lol seriously

Dana (3:38:59 AM): Dude, you and I together could do better than this.

Jess (3:39:50 AM): LOL Hell, between us we could offer like over a thousand choices

Dana (3:40:00 AM): good. now I can put it out of my head and be done. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING

Jess (3:40:42 AM): God, I was all excited when I saw the email, got there and went wait...I own most of these... lol

Dana (3:41:02 AM): LOL another good idea down the drain

Jess (3:42:20 AM): well. Yanno, I kinda hope not. Maybe they're in a transition. maybe they're only allowed to offer a polish for so long. who knows. I'm looking at other places and while it's cutting it close, older blogs say they had over 70 at one point. maybe it'll get better. one can hope

Dana (3:42:45 AM): yeah, maybe. and maybe they didn't buy enough of certain colors and once it's gone it's gone

Dana (3:43:05 AM): although I'd think you'd buy 4 or 5 of each one if it seemed popular

Jess (3:43:19 AM): You'd think

Dana (3:43:44 AM): I'm just sayin'. Don't promote yourself for being the most on-trend and then have OPI shatters from 3 years ago but none of their current collection

Dana (3:43:59 AM): not even any liquid sands from last year!

Jess (3:44:10 AM): lol

Jess (3:44:54 AM): I'm not even going to bother writing anything. I'm screenshotting the list of polishes, then putting this conversation in there lol

Dana (3:45:07 AM): LOL ok

Jess (3:46:30 AM): Maybe their stuff broke in shipping. Or got taken lol

Dana (3:46:38 AM): Good god, I just read back. And I swear a lot

Jess (3:46:44 AM): LOL I'll edit

Dana (3:46:47 AM): :D

Jess (3:47:57 AM): only one of them actually caught my interest and lol you can just make it for me so why bother

Dana (3:48:09 AM): which one is that?

Jess (3:49:25 AM): lol I can't find a swatch of it

Dana (3:49:35 AM): lol which polish. i'll look at the bottle

Jess (3:50:21 AM): https://lacquerous.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/lacquer/image/120/main_Iconic_01.jpg

Jess (3:50:42 AM): Iconic is the brand. Midnight in paris is the name.

Dana (3:50:52 AM): it's pretty.

Jess (3:50:57 AM): Midnight In Paris is a black with silver and gold flecks of shimmer.

Jess (3:51:02 AM): that's the description

Jess (3:51:12 AM): simple. and not worth me paying a subscription lol

Dana (3:51:21 AM): god, no. not for one use

Jess (3:51:30 AM): I just can't find a swatch

Jess (3:52:07 AM): Although I just found a sinful colors I actually really want

Jess (3:52:09 AM): https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcYeNr_GxQ2lj8ig6nig1TOWid8FvWW_FSZwtwQ5ohX_RUSQmHlFPpcsZkcXkrZexgdxcY3UZiyizKWBCRKVGeTRaMNnT8yK4-Zcsfa0iiUDMK09aug-1dW_7mibXz8sGcmekUnk3Odqvq/s640/Sinful+Colors+Leather+Loose+1.jpg

Dana (3:52:19 AM): oh, nice. which one is that?

Jess (3:52:26 AM): leather loose?

Jess (3:52:33 AM): If I ever saw that in the store I went right by it

Dana (3:52:38 AM): that might be in the current collection that's out now.

Jess (3:56:52 AM): http://www.iconiclifestyleinc.com/products/midnight-in-paris

Jess (3:57:30 AM): Regardless, I'm not tearing up anyone's brand. I just don't see why that is "luxury" polish

Jess (3:58:42 AM): Or even Nars. Or OPI

Dana (3:59:05 AM): no, I know. And it's not. I think someone just decided their personal pile of colors was a great place to start

Dana (4:04:52 AM): k. I was just going through my nail polishes from the other day. I didn't pick up any of the Leather Luxe collection although I did look at it

Jess (4:05:16 AM): eight times four plus 2

Dana (4:05:20 AM): 34

Jess (4:05:31 AM): that's how many are actually available to try right now on lacquerous lol

Jess (4:05:57 AM): I'm gonna hafta go look then. I think I need that. the first sinful colors I actually need lol

Dana (4:05:57 AM): so..that makes 32 of the 66 out for use? that's 11 whole subscribers

Dana (4:06:08 AM): http://nouveaucheap.blogspot.com/2013/08/spotted-new-sinful-colors-leather-luxe.html

Jess (4:06:25 AM): I saw that display, too

Jess (4:06:40 AM): for some reason I thought it was a texture and didn't look

Dana (4:06:45 AM): they're matte finish, to look like leather.

Dana (4:07:07 AM): I wish I HAD looked at 'em. I love that Cold Leather, too

Dana (4:07:13 AM): and Get It On is nice

Jess (4:07:37 AM): guess I'm going back to walgreens lol

Dana (4:07:44 AM): LOL me too

Dana (4:07:53 AM): there's a tiny part of me that wants to climb in my car and go right now

Jess (4:08:00 AM): also, while I'm effing with this, can you find me those good pics of the fingrs display again please?

Jess (4:08:06 AM): I'm not. don't care that much lol

Dana (4:08:06 AM): sure

Dana (4:08:51 AM): https://plus.google.com/photos/109452382485088253705/albums/5895580167066411857?authkey=CLWgxbfo3pGBNA

Personal note from Jess,

Here is a screenshot of Lacquerous's current full inventory (click the link below each image if you want to then zoom in and see the names):

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglGxqgSTeHZxVa2xzSqCJIbfv8HANzAGdbIV7SWqQUp1GSkXRXL6SlNYaqGF5zm00xEpFlMymeY9d3_UMpnDJqXCp-rGXgKeSCdShFl4Vf-bLIBmsYWKJMWLL-FG2Dr5z1GyXh2Gbowhw/s1600/full+inventory.png

And the polishes available right now to try out:

In other words, all the "good" ones are gone. Wait list. I was really expecting a much better selection. It does say Beta on it, so I'm hopeful about where it goes. But after waiting this long to get in...yep, sad wabbit.

Are you a member of Lacquerous? What do you think of it so far? Still on the wait list? Anywhere near as disappointed as we were? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!
