Today, June 13th, marks 2 years since Lucky 13 Lacquer first started taking orders!! How perfect is it that it falls on a Friday this year as well? To celebrate I want to do some very special things with/for you all! Here's a quick run-down of the announcements.

1. Starting off with sad news, the Sailor Senshi collection (except for Lady of the Moon) will be discontinued and removed from the shop on June 30th.
2. A collection inspired by The Avengers is being released today! It includes a freebie if you order the whole collection!
3. Everything except charity polishes, limited editions, and the new Avengers collection is 20% off with the code HAPPYBDAY2U from now until 11:59PM PST on 6/19.
4. To celebrate Lucky 13's birthday being on a Friday the 13th (so it's extra special!) I'm allowing 25 requests for any previously released polish that has been discontinued (NOT charity polishes, EXCEPT for Softening the Bad Things, sorry) for just their normal price! The 20% off birthday code does not apply to this.
5. Other miscellaneous birthday fun!

OK, so there's the short version, now for the long version!

The time has come to let a collection go so that new collections may take its place. I love the Sailor Senshi collection but it needs to clear out to make room for other exciting things in the works. Lady of the Moon will remain as a one-off but the rest of the collection will not be restocked once they've sold out.

Lucky 13's latest collection is inspired by Marvel's The Avengers, primarily the recent movie franchise, but also a little bit of the comics! There are 7 shades and if you order the entire collection you get one of them free!! The free shade is a green to black thermal inspired by Loki and the freebie version is 10ml with the option to upgrade to full (15ml) size. And because it's L13's second birthday, the first 2 people to order the complete collection will get a free upgrade to a full size bottle of Loki's polish, just make sure you add the proper item to your cart! (Update: the 2 free upgrades have been claimed!)

What's a birthday without a sale?! From now until 11:59PM PST on 6/19 you can get 20% off almost everything with the code HAPPYBDAY2U! You even get an extra 20% off of sale/clearance items!!

Across the months there have been many requests for discontinued polishes, and while I'm happy to fill them when possible I wanted to open up for everyone to have a chance at getting a shade they've been wanting!

Only 25 slots are available at this time, when they're sold out and the requests have been fulfilled I may release another 25 slots. Please bear in mind that by purchasing this item it is only a REQUEST, I must still have enough of the ingredients in stock to fulfill your request and if I am unable to fill the request I will let you know as soon as possible so we can go from there. Currently there are no shades that I am completely out of stock for but if an item is requested more than once it's first come first served to be fulfilled. I do ask that you limit yourself to 2 requests so that everyone who wants a discontinued shade has a chance at it!

These items will be mixed to order and will add a bit of time between ordering and shipping.

Please read through the "How to order" instructions on the product page!

Currently I have limited ingredients for the following shades:

• Hey, Who Turned Out the Lights?
  

Throughout the day there will be a couple other fun things like flash giveaways and coupons for your next purchase! Keep an eye on the Facebook page for announcements! The birthday fun will happen randomly so let's hope that Friday the 13th is YOUR lucky day!

Hi folks,
A bit of sad news. This was the first year I filed taxes for Lucky 13 and it made me realize that I should have been collecting taxes! So, beginning immediately I will begin collecting taxes on US orders. [Update: tax is only applied to Washington orders!]

Additionally, the following 38 polishes will no longer be restocked and, if sold out, will be removed from the shop the evening of March 11th. If a color listed below is marked as Sold Out in the shop and you'd like a bottle, please send me an email and I will mix up a bottle for you! They will otherwise not be restocked.

As I've mentioned previously, there are only two weeks left to order from the Hylian Hero collection. I've decided to cut down some of the other smaller collections, as well.

Here is the complete list of polishes to be discontinued.

The entire Hylian Hero collection EXCEPT Song of Storms. Song of Storms will be moved to the One-Off section.

Mana Potion and Health Potion from the D&D collection; Critical Hit will be moved to the One-Off section.

Thinking with Portals and The Cake is a Lie from the Aperture Labs collection; Companion Cube will be moved to the One-Off section.

These colors will be available in full and shortie sizes for the next two weeks and they will be discontinued on June 27th, so if you'd like any of these you should grab them now!
