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.

Warning: depressing and personal stuff below. If you just want the sale use code FAMILYFIRST to get 20% off everything here.

Hi everyone, since I have so many social media sites it's just easier to write everything out here instead of trying to fit it into 140 characters, but I'll still try to make this brief.

As those of you who follow me on Facebook have likely seen, my grandmother had an accident and has been comatose for about the last week. She was diagnosed as having no brain activity, which was confirmed by a second doctor, and the family has chosen to remove her breathing tube and allow her to pass (or, if by some miracle it happens, to heal. I'm still hoping, but knowing it won't happen) naturally. Right now we're not sure when that will happen as she's been breathing on her own for a day and a half so I'm going to be getting plane tickets and a hotel as soon as she passes, but for now I'm stuck in the horrible limbo of Waiting.

My entire family is in Southern California and I....am not. I'm up here in Portland. And I really need to get home to see my family. So, that means sale time for you! Silver lining, right?? From now until whenever I leave for CA I'm doing a 20% off sale with the code FAMILYFIRST which gives 20% off everything except charity items, so everything listed here. You can add other items to your cart if you like, the coupon just won't apply to them. I also have all Elemental Ward top coats on sale for only $5.

This sale is kind of wibbly wobbly, it currently doesn't have an exact end date; I'll be discontinuing the code 24 hours or so after I get my plane tickets to CA so there will be warning. Thank you to everyone who has sent me kind words and positive thoughts <3

It's almost time, friends! Time for the craziest shopping day of the year. To be honest, I don't even know if I had a sale last Black Friday, I didn't have much interest back then! This year I'm thankful for all the friends I've made and all the love and kindness that people have shown me while striving to improve Lucky 13.

To show my gratitude I've decided to go BIG this year. I had planned to have 4 different sales, starting Friday and ending Monday, but due to popular demand I've decided to smoosh them into one giant sale all weekend!!

For posterity, I'm keeping the colors grouped by the day they were going to be on sale, but remember that now these will all be on sale from Friday, November 29th at 12:01AM PST and the sale will end 11:59PM PST on December 2nd.

All colors shown below will be 25% off using the code TOFURKEY.

In recent years Black Friday has been extended to include Small Business Saturday. I arbitrarily decided to choose green for this day's theme.

• Taking the Hobbits to Isengard
• No Power in the 'Verse Can Stop Me
• A Mortal Life
• Do Not Open, Dead Inside
• Fool of a Took
• I Am No Man
• Supreme Thunder Dragon
• Hey, Who Turned Out the Lights? (to be discontinued 12/4)
• Avada Kedavra (to be discontinued 12/4)
• Great Ambition (to be discontinued 12/4)

When planning these sales it felt so silly to have a special name for sales on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, but nothing Sunday. So I made up my own name and decided that blue is the color of the day!

• Mermaid Tail (to be discontinued 12/4)
• A Leaf on the Wind
• Walker Bait
• A :Little More Sonic (to be discontinued 12/4)
• You Sexy Thing
• Sharp of Mind (to be discontinued 12/4)
• Water Bullet
• Sleeping with the Enemy
• Always
• Dragon Rise
• Mystery Machine (to be discontinued 12/4)
• Now Wrath, Now Ruin, and A Red Dawn
• Death Reborn
• Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey
• Douche Bag's What I Meant
• Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade

And finally, the day that was the first extension of Black Friday--Cyber Monday. For some reason red and orange pop into my head when I think of Cyber Monday, so that's what you get!

• Beyond Darkness, Beyond Desolation
• Life is Short and You are Hot
• Burning Storm
  
• Brave at Heart (to be discontinued 12/4)
• I'd Tell Him to Go to Hell
• Strawberry Girl
• The Hero of Canton, the Man they Call Jayne
• Phoenix Lament(to be discontinued 12/4)
• Jinkies!(to be discontinued 12/4)
• Special Hell
• Pumpkin King(to be discontinued 12/4)
• Crescent Beam

Those of you who follow me on Facebook may notice that Phoenix Lament will be on sale this weekend but I recently announced that I only had enough supplies for one more bottle. Since this color has been in high demand recently I've decided to make one more batch of it before its discontinued!

All orders over $50 (after discounts but before shipping) made Friday through the end of Monday will receive a 15ml bottle of the Limited Edition color No More/Gallifrey Falls. This is only available from Black Friday through Cyber Monday! It will also be available for individual sale on the site.

But wait...what's this? Something's happening!

Yes, my friends, this is the first Lucky 13 thermal polish!! It has a fiery orange base when warm that turns to a smoky brown when cold and it is filled with tiny silver shimmer and slightly larger red shimmer. You can see the shimmer most accurately in the ring finger in the bottom right image.

25% off is the highest percentage off I offer during the year so take advantage of it now if you want it in time for the holidays! And remember to use the code TOFURKEY. It will only apply to items in the Black Friday (etc) deals category, though!

All right everyone, grab your sonic screwdriver, Converse high-tops, and fez and get ready for something very special!

As I'm sure many of you know tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who. And in December the Eleventh Doctor will become the Twelfth. Below is a trailer for tomorrow's episode and it has me all kinds of giddy!

I'm so excited about this, you don't even know. I adore David Tennant and I am so glad to see him back on Doctor Who, and if it's possible I love John Hurt even more so it's extra amazing to have these two wonderful men on what is arguably my favorite TV show.

I just had to do something special to mark the occasion. Well, two special somethings, in this case! First, I will be offering Buy One Get One 50% Off on all lacquers from the Last of the Time Lords collection. Simply add the colors you wish from the Last of the Time Lords collection to your cart in pairs and use the code VWORPVWORPVWORP at checkout to receive 25% off (which is the equivalent of BOGO50% off) everything from the LotTL collection only; it will not extend to any other items. This code is active beginning 11:59PM PST today, 11/22, and it will expire at 12:01AM on 11/24.

But that's not enough. Oh no, not for me.

A few months ago my friend Jess came to me with an idea for a Fish Fingers and Custard polish. I love Eleven's whole "fish fingers and custard" bit from his first appearance (though I didn't at the time; I was not ready to let Ten go yet! Heck, I'm still not...) but it didn't find its way to the Last of the Time Lords collection. I worked with Jess and together we created what has been appropriately named Fish Fingers and Custard.

Lovely, isn't it?? Smooth, creamy, custard-y yellow base. Golden brown and delicious bars and tiny squares of fish finger-y goodness. Honestly, I was tempted to give this beauty a nibble more than once during its creation. I won't tell you if I gave in to that temptation or not, though, you just get to wonder... The images above show two coats of this extra-special lacquer.

But just as not everyone can be a companion to The Doctor, not everyone will be able to snag Fish Fingers and Custard. There are only twelve bottles available of this super Limited Edition lacquer, and they've been numbered in a very special manner!

The twelve bottles of Fish Fingers and Custard are only available for those who order $50 or more after discounts and before shipping (well, $48, to allow for those ordering only shorties), which means 11 shorties or 8 full size if you're ordering exclusively from the Last of the Time Lords collection, though the extra-special Fish Fingers and Custard portion of the promotion is open to ordering from more than just the Last of the Time Lords collection. This code is also active beginning 11:59PM PST today, 11/22. You may fill your carts beforehand if you like but the code cannot be applied before 11:59PM and it will expire at 12:01AM on 11/24.

To take advantage of this deal simply add your desired items to your cart ($66 or more of products from LotTL or $50 total from any other collections) and use the code BIGGERONTHEINSIDE. This code has only twelve uses so if you try it and it fails that means all of the codes have been used. Oh, and of course you will still receive the BOGO50% discount as above on the Last of the Time Lords collection!

And before anyone asks, yes, orders made tomorrow will go out before my Thanksgiving vacation officially begins--though I may extend my return date to allow for some actual time off ;-)

OK, enough of my blabbering. Everyone hop into the TARDIS and check out the shop!
