I have a very special post today. I have collaborated with Great Lakes Lacquer to create a limited edition polish for November. With this polish releasing in the fall, I wanted a fun color that would be perfect for the season. I have been loving mustard yellow in autumn for a few years now and wanted to make a nail polish shade that reflected that but still had something special. Great Lakes Lacquer makes some pretty amazing crellies, so I knew that had to be the finish for my polish. Mariah and I had been going back and forth tweaking my collaboration shade and finalized it this past weekend. This all happened to coincide with the unexpected loss of my bestest scruffy buddy, Oscar. I am still so very sad over the loss of my dog but being able to honor him with a special nail polish is very special. I hope you like it :)
"Scruffers" is a muted mustard yellow crelly that is packed with copper microflakie shimmer and sprinkled with gold/copper/magenta ultrachrome flakes. The formula is really lovely with a nice squishy effect. If you are a yellow polish lover (and I know some of you out there are!), you will really like this shade of yellow. I am showing you two coats with a glossy top coat in this swatch.
This special collaboration shade is limited edition. You will only be able to purchase this shade from Nov 18th to Dec 2nd. After that, it will be retired. I am giving away a bottle of my Scruffers at the end of this post, so be sure to enter if you want to win! And if you have a little buddy in your life...give them a big hug for me. We love them so much and they leave us too soon.
Enter the Giveaway!
Great Lakes Lacquer will be releasing Scruffers and the My Winter Survival Kit collection on November 18th at 2pm EST. They will be including a free polish with every order over $50 through the weekend. So take advantage of it!

I'm sorry to hear about your sweet pup. Pets really do have profound marks on our lives. One that I have a strong mark from was actually my Grandmother's cat. They called her Rodent (my Grandfather said she looked like a lil Rodent and it stuck) ...she was a kitten when she was hit by a car, and miraculously she survived! But she ended up blind as a result. I loved her so much! Strong and spunky Tortie, who always excitedly greeted me when I would spend the summers at my Grandparents house.
ReplyDeleteAw! Grandma's cats are always the best.
DeleteAmy, so many hugs. He looks like such a character and a good boy too. <3 All my love.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mariah!
DeleteSorry to hear about your loss. I love the scruffy terrier look myself. He sure looks like a happy critter in the photo!
ReplyDeleteScruffy dogs are the best :)
DeleteI too am sorry about scruffers. Mine was Violet Jane who I got behind my family's back and she was too young to be away from her mother. Everybody ended up falling in love at first sight. She lived I would like to think a great doggy life for 18years. She passed away at home in my husbands arms. I miss her terribly but beyond thankful for her memories. ������ Jennifer
ReplyDeleteYes...even though it is tough to see them go, the joy they bring for all of those years is worth it.
DeleteI'm not normally a yellow polish person, but this is truly lovely. Sorry to hear of the circumstances of how it came to be :( your pupper looked like he was very well loved.
ReplyDeleteEveryone loved him...he was the best little pup.
DeleteI am so sorry about your little Oscar <3 So sweet that you have created this shade for him!
ReplyDeleteLove, Lotte
Thanks Lotte! :)
DeleteSo sorry with your loss, dogs are so very special and give you unconditional love!
ReplyDeleteYour puppy looks like a sweet companion. I'm sorry for your loss. He will be there waiting at the rainbow bridge.💖
ReplyDeleteMy puppy's name is Shadow. He is a 13 year old daschund with Cushings disease. I know his time to pass won't be long, but he's been my best friend for years. I just love him and his silly personality so much.
