Anchor & Heart Lacquer Home Collection Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Tonight I have a special collection to show you: Anchor & Heart Lacquer's debut collection "Home!"  Home was originally to be released last spring, but with a baby coming the collection was put on the back burner.  While preparing for her precious baby boy, she worked on her brand, and fine tuned her debut collection, and now here we are with an amazing entry into the indie polish world!

Home is a collection of 8 polishes all inspired by Taryn's home state of Maine, family, and love.  Let's take a look!

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Cold Water & Sunshine.  Inspired by the icy cold waters on the coast of Maine, this is a pale aqua crelly with silver flakes and shimmer that shifts from turquoise to violet at extreme angles.  Goes on sheer, but builds up well and is very easy to work with.

This is 3 thin coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Sweet Love.  This is a soft, creamy off white nude with peachy undertones.  It's filled with holo gold and copper micro glitter as well as a very subtle purple shimmer.  Easy application!

This is 3 thin coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Shattered Sea Glass.  A beautiful cornflower blue jelly base with iridescent glitter, microflakes, subtle purple shimmer and a hint of holo micro glitter.  I absolutely love the color of the base!  This goes on sheer, but builds up easily and has a nice formula.

This is 3 thin coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Vacation Land. Bright neon coral with subtle golden holo and flashes of bright purple iridescent micro glitters.  This polish screams summer and trips to the beach.  I will definitely be doing a pedicure with this one!  Formula on this is nice.  No need for a white base, it builds up all on it's own.

This is 2 coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Ocean-nanigans.  This is such an interesting polish.  In the bottle I wasn't quite sure about it, but once I got it on, it's absolutely stunning and photos do it no justice!  It's a dusty blue jelly filled with blue sparks and a spattering of red sparks, iridescent micro glitter, ultrachrome flakes and a bit of holo micro glitter for good measure.  This ended up being one of my favorites!

This is 3 thin coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer A Mother's Love.  This is a vibrant fuchsia jelly holo with subtle violet shimmer and violet sparks.  Formula is easy to work with and builds up to opacity easily.

This is 3 coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Maine Land.  Reminiscent of Maine's lush forest land, this is a perfect medium green holo with heavy gold shimmer and blue and green holo micro glitter.  I love green polish, so this is definitely one of my favorites and the gold shimmer in it really make this gorgeous!

This is 2 coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Wherever I'm With You.  This is a medium plummy purple crelly with blue shimmer as well as ultrachrome flakes that shift violet/purple/pink/gold.  It's such a gorgeous polish, but didn't quite work with my skin tone.  Nice application.

This is 3 coats.

Overall I'm really impressed with this collection.  Every color was clearly thought through and the formulas on each polish was perfection.  I'm really excited for what's to come from Anchor & Heart!  If this debut collection is any indication, it will be amazing!

The Home collection will be available from AnchorandHeartLacquer.com February 29th at 9pm EST and as a bonus Taryn is sending every order with a handmade glass polish magnet!  Be sure to follow and connect with Anchor & Heart Lacquer at the following spots!
