Hey everyone. I've been falling behind on some things recently, and before I go into why I've faltered I'd like to apologize to you all.

You folks spend your time and hard-earned money on the pretty things I create here at Lucky 13, and I'm sorry there are times when it takes too long to ship out or I don't respond to messages quickly. I want you all to know I appreciate all of your continued support and understanding so much more than words can say.

Secondly, I'd like to apologize for not being as honest about why I've fallen behind as I'd like to have been. It feels weird to talk about my disabilities, but since it's recently heavily impacted my ability to work I think it's time to stop feeling embarrassed for silly reasons.

I've been experiencing chronic joint pain for the last 7 years, since I was 23. I've seen over a dozen doctors and every one of them has said there's "nothing wrong" with me and sent me away to wonder if it was all in my head. I'd spend hours looking for something that explained my seemingly random symptoms, but nothing fit 100%. In January 2017, I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and I began trying to accept that pain is simply a part of my life now. I've talked about this before, and having friends who understand is helpful, but I still wasn't satisfied with the answer so I kept looking.

Earlier this year, I came across another explanation that really made sense. It explained some of my "silly human tricks" I've been doing since I was a child, the weird way I've always sat (until my pain caught up with me), even why I bruise so easily and my scars look different than other peoples'.

I have Ehlers-Danlos.

What that means is that my joints don't know where the hell they're supposed to be hanging out, so they can partially dislocate (called subluxation) or even fully dislocate at any time. Also, my collagen doesn't heal well so my joints wear down faster than they should. This is a really painful thing to experience in one joint, let alone half a dozen across my whole body. On the up-side, my skin is as soft as a baby angel's buns. While my body feels like I'm 200 on the inside, I'll look like I'm in my 20s for decades to come. Silver linings!!

However, the pain on top of anxiety, depression, and bi-polar mood swings can make it a struggle just to want to keep going every day. Some days I just feel like a hopeless and broken human. I've had a lot of those days recently.

Waking up after a restless 6 hours, stuffing myself to the eyeballs with coffee, working in pain all day (and only achieving partial efficiency because of it) before collapsing to start the cycle again the next day has been driving me insane. I'm trying to maintain a better balance of efficient work and rest, and I'm learning.

I can honestly say that getting to "play with glitter" for a living is not something I take for granted, nor is success something I inherently deserve. But I want to continue working hard for it, every day that I can.

​Thanks for reading all of this <3

 Wow.

Today, June 13th, marks 6 years since I launched our first collection, inspired by The Legend of Zelda. A lot has happened in that time, including a lot of ups and downs, personal growth, and spilled glitter. So much​ spilled glitter.

There aren't words to express how grateful and overjoyed I am that Lucky 13 continues to thrive and that I'm able to spend my days creating beautiful products and making people happy with them.

​Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart. Whether you've been a fan for 6 years or if you just found us today. Lucky 13 wouldn't exist today without you!

To celebrate 6 years of sparkles, we're offering free US shipping through Sunday! We'll also be throwing in freebies in the form of discontinued or one-of-a-kind mystery polishes with all orders, so be prepared for some gifts of your own to unwrap!

VOID is a shapeshifting sweetheart that is the embodiment of the universe. So far VOID has shown themselves in two forms: VOIDcat and octoVOID.

VOID does not have a gender (the 'verse ain't got no gender!), and they currently have a preference for their cat form, but VOID continues to show more of themselves to the artist, PastelPastryClown!

You can pick up stickers of VOIDcat and octoVOID by clicking HERE! These stickers are weather-resistant and look beautiful anywhere!

If you only order stickers, use code INTOTHEVOID for free shipping.

Isn't there a saying about the best laid plans still going awry? There is, I saved you a Google!

For the last few months, Erin and I (Anya) have been slowly preparing to move out of our apartment and into a house with family. The house we planned to move to had plenty of land with room for a garden.... it was a wonderful plan! We've been preparing for so long, we'd even begun putting off collaborations and other opportunities on the assumption that within a few weeks we'd have twice as many eager hands to help with Lucky 13 work.

Sadly, in a few short hours, that all came crashing down. A huge (yet so minor!) misunderstanding regarding keeping my cat (Sagan) indoors vs outdoors led to us changing our upcoming moving plans.

Originally, we had planned to move to Bonney Lake, WA sometime mid-August to early-September. Now we have hopes to find a home in the Portland, OR (or other Oregon cities nearby) area instead!

If you know of any houses in the Portland(ish) area with a huge yard or land and plenty of room for 5 adults, 2 cats, a dog, a tortoise, a business, and an RV please let us know!

Lots of new, limited edition, and discontinued polishes happening today! Let's get right to it.

Our newest collection is inspired by Mad Max Fury Road. 7 polishes plus one limited edition polish. The Fury Road collection will be available long-term; Glory Awaits in Fallhalla, the limited edition from this collection, will be discontinued December 7th.

There are only TWO Trick or Treat Yo' Self boxes available and then they will be gone for good!!!

To make room for new polishes, we've added some of the We Are the Crystal Gems collection and a few older polishes to the Last Chance bin at discounted prices.

Holo-Addicted is being discontinued so that we may reformulate it using real Spectraflair! Currently it's made using a Spectraflair alternative and only a few bottles remain.

Pumpkin Cat-Astrophe, October's limited edition, will be removed from the site on November 7th along with the Ghouls' Night In collection.

Good evening, boils and ghouls!

We've just released our Halloween/Fall collection, Ghouls' Night In, which is inspired by 6 spooky and scary movies.

Grab your popcorn and a cocktail and let's watch some movies! You can click each polish's name to go right to its page in the shop.

Let's start things off with something lighthearted and fun: Shaun of the Dead!

You've Got Red on You is a blood splatter inspired glitter topper with all shapes and sizes of red and fire red holo glitters. Make any mani a blood splatter mani!

Next up is a classic: Night of the Living Dead. No, Barbra's name is not a typo. In the original film her name is spelled Barbra, not Barbara!

They're Coming to Get You, Barbra has a grey crelly base with white, silver, and black hexes and black holo hex.

Can someone go grab popcorn?? 2 movies in, I need something to snack on!!

Let's put on A Nightmare on Elm St, next. We can admire how babyfaced Johnny Depp was back in the day!

Don't Fall Asleep is a pale grey to dark grey thermal base with blood red micro flakes. Like blood splattered across your bedroom ceiling at night....or something trying to break through into our world.

Heeeeere's Johnny! Next up is The Shining.

Redrum is the perfect dried blood red creme. This would be wonderful for a blood splatter mani.

The label on top of each bottle has "Redrum" written exactly the same as in the film!

I don't know about you but by now I need a little bit of silly mixed in with my horror. It's too late in the night and my house is creaky!! How about we put on Army of Darkness?

Good, Bad, I'm the Guy with the Gun has a deep midnight blue base with maroon/copper/gold/green and hints of blue color-shifting flakes.

This polish is so deep and complex and impossible to capture everything in a single photo.

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!

Finally, by the end of the night we're all sleepy (and more than a little inebriated, probably) so let's go back to something fun! Troll 2 is perhaps the best bad horror movie ever!

Slimey emerald green jelly base packed with silver holo micro shreds. The perfect shade of plant-goo green.

We also have a few other polishes that aren't a part of the Ghouls' Night In collection but were released at the same time. Let's check out the monthly limited editions first!

Our first LE for this month is partially inspired by Mad Max Fury Road and further inspired by the beautiful colors of falling leaves.

Glory Awaits in Fallhalla (a play on Valhalla) has a dark navy blue base with red holo, orange holo, gold holo, and dark moss green hex.

This month we have a double limited edition, Glory Awaits in Fallhalla will be available for both October and November!

Our second Limited Edition for October is Pumpkin Cat-astrophe. It has a pumpkin orange crelly base with black hex, tiny fire red holo hex, and black kitty cat face glitters.

This polish is available until November 7th and will then be discontinued.

Our latest charity polish is a plum purple linear holo.

$1 from each bottle sold will be donated to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

Hey everyone, we finally have another giveaway to share with you all!!

Geek Chic Cosmetics recently found a small stash of leftover bottles of Dream of the 90s in her workshop and was kind enough to donate them for a giveaway. We've pulled out some upcoming Portlandia-inspired shades and some limited availability vinyl decals for the occasion!

Geek Chic's bottles are an older design and Portland is where the dream of the 90s is alive, so it felt appropriate to both begin and end this giveaway on a Throwback Thursday. This giveaway will have 4 winners and will only run for 2 weeks, ending 11:59PM PST on September 30th, so make sure you enter soon. You may repost this Instagram image once per day for an extra entry!

This giveaway is open to US residents only.

The grand prize winner will receive

• Geek Chic Cosmetics Dream of the 90s (neon and black glitter topper)
• 1 half sheet of "Put A Bird on It" decals (16 decals, 16 stencils per sheet)
• Lucky 13 Lacquer Put A Bird on It (baby blue linear holo)
• Lucky 13 Lacquer Is It Local? (rose linear holo)
• Lucky 13 Lacquer Cacao! (dark chocolate brown linear holo)

Additional winners will each receive

• Geek Chic Cosmetics Dream of the 90s (neon and black glitter topper)
• 1 half sheet of "Put A Bird on It" decals (16 decals, 16 stencils per sheet)
• Lucky 13 Lacquer Put A Bird on It, Is It Local?, OR Cacao! (1 winner for each option)

As many of you surely know, I (Jess) and Mishka of Accio Lacquer are very good friends and we work together often. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend time with her in-person a few weeks ago and it only made our friendship stronger. We've even discussed the possibility of her moving closer to where I am! I can't even fathom how amazing that would be!

However, after Mishka returned home from her vacation she found that her dear kitty, Severus, was very ill from his diabetes. If my cat Sagan is my supervisor, Mishka's cat Severus is her Professor!

Just look at this little dork, how can you not love him the moment you see him??

The good news is that Severus' vet remains positive about his recovery and the kitty is happy to get all the love Mishka can give him. However, such severe health issues have caused the vet bills to pile up to an unmanageable level.

Mishka has opened up a GoFundMe account to cover Severus' bills to make sure her baby gets the best care possible.

As someone who has also had some very expensive complications with their beloved feline friend I aim to do everything in my power to help Mishka and Severus stay happy, healthy, and out of deep debt.

While I am recovering from my own financial difficulties due to kitties there isn't much I can do personally, but I do have the power to offer a discount for those who are able to support Mishka and Severus!

I am offering a one-time use code of 10% off for all who donate $5 or more OR 20% off for those who donate $20 or more to Mishka's fund.

If you enjoy reading Accio Lacquer I hope you'll support her in her time of need, even if the most you can do is $1 or spreading the word. Our furry friends are what keep us going when times get hard.

Please enjoy this soothing gif of my own kitty, Sagan, enjoying some love.
