New Site Launch

Hi all!

I am very happy to announce that the new store is now available at www.lacattack.com! Enjoy the new features, and be sure to keep up with the news items there (in the bottom, middle of the page) and sign up for the newsletter!

Welcome!

Update 9/10/2013: The new store is coming right along and I think all of you will love the new features! My goal is to launch the new site, and the Chicago-inspired Cell Block Tango collection, next week. I should have a final date for you soon! Thank you again for your patience and support.

Hi - welcome to Lac Attack!

Currently, my shop is closed while I redesign the website and switch providers. I hope to have the new site launched along with some new polishes, of course, in September.

You can Follow Lac Attack on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for progress, updates, and other fun posts!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns - please fill out the survey here or email me at info@lacattack.com.

As always, thank you so much for your continued support.

Best,
Anastasia

Special Announcement

EDIT: Please note that the store will be closed, viewing as password protected, until the sale begins at 8:00 pm EST tonight.

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well.

I have some good and bad news. The bad news is that my current website and store provider just isn't cutting it anymore. They recently "upgraded" their system which is now full of bugs and is double the cost! I refuse to pay for something that does not work correctly. So, I'll be closing the store temporarily... 

Which brings me to the good news! I will be building an all-new, feature-packed store for you. Hopefully, when all is said and done, it will be a billion times better than the current store, with lots of fun benefits for you! You know what else this means?!

Epic "Moving" Sale!
Many colors** will be stocked and heavily discounted then retired for good
International shipping will be offered during this sale only. More info here »

The sale begins tonight, July 31st at 8:00 pm EST and runs through
Saturday, August 3rd at 1:00 pm EST when the store will close.

**This does not include Magical Musings or Beach Daze! Those are still being produced!

Why am I closing the store, instead of leaving it open? I need to devote my free time to getting the new store ready. Plus, at some point I am going to have to close my account with my current provider, and that might have to happen before the new site is launched.

In the meantime, I will still be working on filling any Magical Musings wishlist orders, promoting and making more Beach Daze, filling retail store orders, and working on the fall collection (which you are going to love!). So there will be plenty of Lac Attack to go around!

I appreciate your understanding and patience during the process. I am going to try my hardest to get everything switched and running as soon as humanly possible!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns - please fill out the survey here or email me at info@lacattack.com.

To keep up with the progress, updates, and other fun posts - you can follow Lac Attack on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Thank you for your support!

Hi all! This post contains some important information about today's restock, as well as voting information about the Fanspiration Contest!

Fanspiration Contest

I want to thank each and every person who submitted an idea to the Fanspiration Contest. I am so happy with the turnout and I love the thought and creativity that went in to each submission. Voting is now open for the contest. You can either vote by "liking" an entry in the Facebook album, or by filling out this form.

Votes are due this Friday May 24 at 5:00pm EST.

Restock Information
The next restock is today, Wednesday, May 22, at 7:00pm EST. The restock will include

• Spring Fling: full and mini individuals
• Please note: these minis are "normal" mini size bottles, unlike the larger Magical Musings minis. They hold 5ml of polish.

June Jitterbug is a fuschia topper with small pink flakes, 3 sizes of fuschia hexes, and a slight purple iridescent shimmer.
    
  
• Mustachio: a new black, white, and gray glitter topcoat. This color was made in remembrance of my kitten, Obi, who recently crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He was black and white and had a wonderful mustache.

Summer Fanspiration Contest

EDIT: The Fanspiration Contest results are in! Thank you again to everyone who participated and voted, I loved seeing all of the creative ideas you came up with! I decided, ultimately, that the votes would determine the final winner, without any input from me. So without further ado, the results are as follows:

• The winner and summer collection theme is "Love for Beaches" by Laura H! 
• The two runners up are "Lisa Frank" by Alicia and "True Blood" by Denise! 
• The honorable mention goes to "Vintage Picnic" by Rachel!

Lately I've needed a little bit of cheering up. So I thought, what better way to brighten up my life than to start thinking about the summer collection?! I got to thinking, and I decided I wanted to involve all of you in the process. I really and truly appreciate all of the support you have given to Lac Attack over the past year and I want to give back to you.

So what does this all mean??

Spring Fling!

Happy Spring from Lac Attack! Spring might just be my favorite season - so we are introducing 6 new shades to celebrate:

• Puddle Jumping: inspired by the famous April showers, gray skies and blue raindrops, Puddle Jumping is a medium-light gray creme with tiny indigo flakes.
• Garden Party: you can't have April showers without May flowers! Garden Party is inspired by the floral explosion in springtime - a mixture of pale pink and green metallic hexes in a clear base, and can be built to opacity in 3-4 coats.
• Holy Chick!: a white crelly base with pale blue and yellow hexes, and small iridescent glitter with a beautiful blue sparkle
• Cherry Blossom Bloom: where I live, there is a multi-week celebration of the Cherry Blossoms blooming. I wanted to create a shade to contribute to that celebration - Cherry Blossom Bloom is a clear base featuring white hexes and rectangles, with two sizes of fuschia circle glitter!
• Spring Fling - another wonderful part of spring is the return of bright blue skies and growth in nature. Spring Fling combines both of these with a bright blue base and small neon green glitter.
• Bunny Poop: a mix of multiple sizes of yellow, pink, green and blue pastel matte glitter in a clear base - the perfect spring glitter topper!

The Cure Starts Now

I am very proud to announce that a very special duo will be introduced during the launch/restock as well. I was approached by a wonderful foundation dedicated to eradicating cancer (with a focus on pediatric brain cancer), the Cure Starts Now, to donate to their annual gala. After we started chatting, we realized it would be great to create a custom duo that would also be sold at Lac Attack. All profits from sales of the two colors will be donated to the foundation. The colors are:

• The Cure Starts Now: based on the foundation's colors, a mixture of matte blue, purple, and yellow glitter in a clear base.
• Once in a Lifetime: also the theme of this year's gala, a circus-inspired color featuring a pale gold base with micro red metallic glitter.

International & Stockist Information

• The Magical Musings colors are now available for sale at Harlow & Co.! Most shades are currently sold out, but more will be on their way to Harlow soon.
• A selection of Lac Attack shades are currently heading to Beauty So Fly in Singapore, who are launching international shipping this week!

Magical Musings Restock Information

• All individual Magical Musings full-size colors will be restocked.
• A very limited number of full sets will also be available. You can sign up for the full set wishlist here to guarantee you'll be able to get your hands on a set. 
• Individual minis and sets will likely not be available during this restock. If they are, it will be in limited quantities. I am working on finding new mini bottles, as I have had some issues with the current ones.

Candy Hearts & Magical Musings

In preparation for Valentine's Day, be sure to grab the limited edition Candy Hearts Trio. This mini trio features U R 2 Cute, Small Talk, and Kiss Me so you'll always been sending out the right message wearing these beauties! In addition to the launch of the Candy Hearts Trio, all Magical Musings colors and sets will be restocked. International shipping is available. This means: full and mini sets and all colors to anywhere in the world! Mark your calendars now:

Polishes will be launched on lacattack.com

Wednesday January 23, 2013 at 5:00pm EST

IMPORTANT RESTOCK INFORMATION:

• The price of the sets has increased to reflect the higher shipping cost of shipping a full collection. Since the store reads a "set" listing as only one item, it only charges the shipping for one individual polish. The base price of sets is the exact same, I just had to change the listing cost to reflect shipping. 
• Magical Musings full size set: $83.00 ($80 per set, $3.00 additional shipping)
• Magical Musings mini size set: $43.00 ($40 per set discounted, $3.00 additional shipping)
• Candy Hearts Trio mini size set: $13.00 ($12 per set discounted, $1.00 additional shipping)
• International shipping (including Canada) has been increased to help offset the increased rates set by the USPS. I am still committed to maintaining low shipping prices. 
• Canada: $3.50 per cart, $0.50 per polish
• International: $6.00 per cart, $0.50 per polish
• The store/site will be disabled, showing as "password protected", 24 hours before the launch to edit and update color listings. It will be re-enabled at launch time.

The Candy Hearts Trio
Available in limited quantities only! This unique trio will be available in mini sets and mini bottles only, with special heart labels to mimic the candy hearts by which they were inspired.

U R 2 Cute: blue, purple, and pink holographic micro glitter with holographic hearts and a blue flash/shimmer.
Kiss Me: bright pink, light pink, and white shards in a clear base.
Small Talk: bright and light pink hexes in multiple sizes in a mint green base with slight shimmer and semi-matte finish.
