1. How did you first get into making polish?
INSTAGRAM!! I started just doing my nails, quit biting
them, and saw some people were making polish, so I wanted to as well. How original is that!
2. What was the inspiration for the name "Liquid Sky Lacquer"?
"Liquid Sky" is another name for heroin, so it fit
with my new found addiction to polish.
3. What inspires your collections? What inspired your latest collection? Any
hints about upcoming collections?
Inspiration? Life! Music, Nature, holidays, seasons,
favorite characters...you name it, I get inspired. Currently working on the Fall Collection, The
Halloween Collection, The Holiday Collection, Marisa Lander (neo pop singer
featuring my polish), Butterfly Collection, and Katy Perry collections....all
in the works. Marisa Lander and Fall collections are the soon to be released
ones.

4. Do you have a favorite indie maker(s)? Favorite mainstream brand?
PolishAddict!
Love her stuff, but I also love,
Lynnderella, KBShimmer, and Freak Show Polish.
Mainstream...OPI, Zoya, Essie.
5. What are your go-to products for nail/cuticle care?
LemonyFlutter
by Lush for cuticle care and Blue Cuticle Remover, A glass nail file, Orly Nail
Defense for Base coat and Seche Vite for Top Coat.
6. What are your favorite colors? In general? For summer? For fall?
Blues
and purples, but I think rainbows for all seasons.
7. This may be hard--but which are your 3 favorite creations?
Angel
Dust, TGIF, and Like A Boss...All my favs, but not always my best sellers. If I make something I feel so-so about....it
turns into a hit! So I've learned to stay
very open-minded.
8. Do you have any other hobbies?
School...is that a hobby?
Just started my junior year of college, polish making is my escape.
9. What is your most favorite thing about being an indie maker? What do you
least like? What advice would you give to new indie makers?
Creating
things people like! Stress!!! But I
spent the summer organizing more so it's less now. Don't be afraid to
experiment and don't listen to those self-important people who try to shut you
down and shake your confidence.
