Great Lakes Lacquer Polish Pickup Vintage Halloween August 2024 Swatches and Review

Today is the final day of Polish Pickup’s Vintage Halloween August 2024 pre-order! It is open through 11:59PM EDT. I have Great Lakes Lacquer’s beautiful contribution to share with you today.

Great Lakes Lacquer Never Trust the Living has a deep teal base with extremely vibrant and sparkly green-blue-magenta multichrome shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats but two will cover. It had a great formula and fairly quick dry time with no tendency to bubble. This polish is really impossible to capture in images – it is extremely bright, glowing green straight on in the sun, but can take on a more blue look inside or in the shade. It is very sparkly, as well. It looks in person like iridescent beetle wings!

Inspiration: Juno from Beetlejuice

Price: $13.50

Now for live swatches!

There are lots of really interesting polishes still for sale at the August 2024 Polish Pickup pre-order, so check it out if you are looking for a fall nail wardrobe refresh. My personal favorite this month were rich jewel shades like this Great Lakes Lacquer and a bunch of the magnetic polishes.
