The Fellowship and There and Back Again releases

9/13/2013

Happy Friday the 13th!! Today is my lucky day!

Of course I couldn't let today pass without something super extra awesome and special happening, could I? Of course not! And so, today I'm not releasing one collection. No, that's not good enough. Today I'm releasing TWO collections!!

Both are inspired by JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit universe, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

For those who just want to get to the good stuff, here are the collection pages for There and Back Again and The Fellowship. The rest of you, let us read on!

The Fellowship

Picture

Nobody Tosses a Dwarf!

Picture
Light brown jelly with golden shimmer, tiny bronze squares, and two sizes of gold hex glitters.

Inspired by Gimli, accent color of mani.

Taking the Hobbits to Isengard

Picture
Pale green crelly with all sizes and shapes of silver holo glitter.

Inspired by Legolas' coronation outfit, accent of mani.

One Does Not Simply...

Picture
Shimmery chocolate brown jelly with fine silver, red, and caramel, medium red and caramel, and large silver glitters.

Inspired by Boromir, main color of mani.

Picture
For those who miss the Internet meme reference.

And to the right is an example of how the meme might be used, 'cause it is so dang true!

Not All Those Who Wander are Lost

Picture
Slightly frosty brown with tons of teensy green shimmer.

The green shimmer was difficult to capture at its full strength, what you see in the picture isn't as intense as it is on your nails!

Inspired by Aragorn/Strider, main color of mani.

The Road Goes Ever On and On

Picture
Pale grey jelly with tiny silver specks.

The silver specks are supposed to make you think of Gandalf the White, while the grey base is for Gandalf the Grey.

Inspired by Gandalf, main color of mani.

But I Want to Fight!

Picture
Purple jelly with fine and medium lime green holo glitters.

Fool of a Took!'s inverted twin.

Inspired by Merry, main color of mani.

Fool of a Took!

Picture
Lime green jelly with fine and medium purple glitters.

But I Want to Fight!'s inverted twin.

Inspired by Pippin, accent of mani.

Samwise the Brave

Picture
The perfect shade of nude crelly base with tiny, fine, and medium bronze, fine and medium emerald, and tiny and fine maroon pink.

Inspired by, of course, Samwise Gamgee, accent color of mani.

And what's a fellowship without a Baggins?

Baggins? Sure I know a Baggins. Frooooooodo Baggins. He's my second cousin, once removed, on his mothers side.

The Most Famousest of Hobbits

Picture
Dark chocolate with lighter chocolate-y shimmer jelly base with fine, medium, and large gold glitters, with fine hex and medium square royal blue glitters.

Inspired by Frodo Baggins.

This lacquer will be a free bonus lacquer for those who order all 8 other pieces from the Fellowship collection! See the shop for more details.

There and Back Again

Picture

The Meaning of Haste

Picture
White crelly with fine, medium, and large silver hex and fine and medium gunmetal hex.

Inspired by Shadowfax, accent of mani.

A Mortal Life

Picture
Pale green with silver shimmer.

Inspired by Arwen's beautiful coronation dress, main color of mani.

No Man Can Kill Me

Picture
Dark slate grey jelly with fine silver holo hex and squares.

Inspired by the Nazgûl, accent of mani.

I Am No Man

Picture
Emerald green jelly with teensy gold flecks, fine and medium gold, and medium emerald glitters.

Inspired by Éowyn, main color of mani.

Now Wrath, Now Ruin, and A Red Dawn

Picture
Dark teal jelly with tiny and medium silver hex and fine turquoise and red glitters.

Inspired by the Battle of the Hornburg at Helm's Deep, main color of mani.

Flame of Udûn

Picture
Black jelly base with teensy gold flecks and tiny red and orange glitters.

Looking to add some evil to your lacquer collection? Well, I suppose "evil" is subjective, the Balrog...well, it wasn't his fault that the Dwarves of Durin dug too greedily and too deep! Regardless, this is a very "evil"-looking lacquer.

Inspired by the Balrog, main color of mani.

Beyond Darkness, Beyond Desolation

Picture
Blood red jelly with tons of holographic glitters in red, gold, and charcoal in hex and squares.

And when you get right down to it, Smaug was only trying to keep what was his before that filthy, nasty little Hobbitses came and stole his goodies! Uh oh, did I just mix Gollum/Smeagol and Smaug there? Smaug, Smeagol, same diff, right? ;-)

Inspired by Smaug, accent of mani.

Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade

Picture
Purple-y periwinkle base with tons of sky blue holo and silver holo in different sizes and shapes.

Inspired by the Misty Mountains.

Mist and Shadow, Cloud and Shade was inspired by the Misty Mountains but named after Pippin (Billy Boyd)'s song to Denethor. Take a moment to enjoy just how beautiful and sad this song is <3

My Precious

Picture
Golden jelly base with fine and medium gold hex.

Inspired by the One Ring of power.

This lacquer will be a free bonus lacquer for those who order all 8 other pieces from the There and Back Again collection! See the shop for more details.



Picture
Every bottle will come with the One Ring's Tengwar inscription in the Black Speech of Mordor on top in place of the usual lacquer name. On the bottom of each bottle will be a smaller label showing the polishes "real" name to avoid any confusion but it was impossible to pass up the opportunity to include the Ring's inscription!

Super Bonus!

18 Tolkien-y lacquers not enough for you? Still finding yourself reaching for these lacquers like Scary Bilbo?

A fellow LotR lover, I totally love you too!!!

This is DEFINITELY going to be a long-term collection(s) and I do ship Internationally! I think the only place I can't ship is Italy and perhaps Russia, they both have very strict Customs and the packages would likely be destroyed :-(

I'm sooo broke now after buying way too many polishes during the summer, but I'll definitely start saving up for these!
Thank You! I'm in Sweden and it's usually no problem with customs :D
