Butterfly Dancer

Hello and happy, happy friday!

By now I am almost to my reservation which some of you know, is Mille Lacs. I'm off to pow wow it up! A pow wow is a HUGE Native American celebration.
Check out some awesome photos here if you're curious. There's tons of dancers and drummers and of course, food!
I'm a fancy shawl dancer and the nickname for fancy shawl dancers is butterfly dancers because of the way they twirl. Here's a video of a ton of fancy shawl dancers from the Gathering of Nations from this year.
I'll be sure to take tons of pictures to bring back with me and eat tons of frybread tacos for all of you!

As for my nail art I've mimicked the butterfly theme and matched the colors to my outfit. 
Tada!



My first attempt at butterfly nails went terrible. This time I would say things went well!

I used
China Glaze - Fancy Pants and Turned up Turquiose  as the base colors
and 
Kleancolor - Afternoon Picnic for the glitters
as well as Sally Hansen - Crystal Beading for the glittery details.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend as I'll be dancing my butt off!

Leesha's Lacquer - Mille Lacs Lake

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAYS FOUND ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDEBAR!
Hello Everyone and Happy Friday!


Today I have another preview of a polish from my Native American Collection. All of the blogger review sample sets have been sent out! I'm excited and nervous, I'll post the links to the reviews as I get them.

Meanwhile here is Mille Lacs Lake.































This is 1 Coat of Mille Lacs Lake over 3 coats of Icing No Name Blue and no top coat. 

Mille Lacs Lake is a mix of blue holo glitters with blue hexes, squares and tons of tiny blue glitters. Mille Lacs Lake was name after the Mille Lacs Lake Indian Reservation on Lake Mille Lakes in Minnesota. This is my reservation and a beautiful one it is indeed. The Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe is my specific tribe, in case you're all wondering.



I thought this little bunny would look nice with Mille Lacs Lake and indeed he was very photographic!



For good measure I decided to make a Gif to show off all of the pretty glittery, holo goodness!


Of course Gifs are a bit grainy but surely this shows off the delicious,glittery, yumminess that Mille Lacs Lake offers!

Leesha's Lacquer Polishes will be on sale for $8.00 each in my Etsy shop very, very soon. I still don't have a set date yet for the release, but I am thinking some time at the end of July (which seems SOOOO far away!). By that time I will surely have my next collection all ready to go!
