Black Cat Lacquer Bela Lugosi’s Dead swatches - and some personal stuff


Black Cat Lacquer Bela Lugosi’s Dead is from the Halloween 2015 collection. It’s a gorgeous magenta-leaning red holo with micro holo shards and multichrome flakies. The formula was a bit too thick – but manageable and opaque in one coat. I thinned it with 8 drops of Seche Restore and added a second coat + a coat of Seche Vite for these photos. I might want to thin it even more for later use.
Isn't it gorgeous..?
OBS: The multichrome flakies looks black in the flash, but they are not in person, it's a really beautiful polish!


I rarely share personal stuff, but it has been a truly terrible week…
In 1993 we had a young cat, Mjavemis, killed by traffic, and in May 2010 we lost Freddie the brother of Findus, both neutered as all our cats are/always have been.
They were the only two killed in traffic - ever...
But last week, we lost two, yes TWO of our cats, killed on the road. Oh I miss them so much. 
First the 8 year old Smilly, who to be honest, didn’t really like other cats, and 3 days later my beloved Ivan just around 3 years (was a rescue kitten). Ivan was such a fun cat, but also driven by super strong desire to hunt, and he had absolutely no respect for cars.
On a positive note: Ivan and Smilly were the only two of our cats, that we ever have seen on the road, we never saw the two oldest Findus and Tyson on the road or on the “wrong” side of it. Tyson aka Tysse is really good at taking care of the kittens, so we are hoping that the three youngsters Snøvsen, Mille and Mons will be guided by him and Findus and do what they do, because this week has been enough sorrow and heartbreak for a loooong time ahead.
On top of that my back broke down really badly, but I am on the mend, and my left wrist is really acting up now for a few weeks, so I must soon drag myself to see a doctor.

Sorry about this rambling, it's not to get sympathy and attention, I simply felt like sharing….

  2. Beautiful polish! And I don't follow many swatchers - but am loyal to yours!!
    But so sorry for your terrible, terrible week...glad you could share, it helps to get it out (I think anyway) and it's always nice now & then to know the person behind the nails - even when it's bad news. Wishing you healing vibes mentally and physically!! (PS - this must have been a universally bad time - myself, my husband, and quite a few people I know had a rough one for sure!)

    1. Aww, thank you, I'm so very happy to hear that <3
      Yes, it really was a terrible week - and maybe it really was a universally bad period, thanks for sharing that (and all the healing and kind vibes), it strangely enough makes me feel a little better..

  3. Oh Maria, I'm so sorry about your cats :(
    Be smart, go see a doctor about your back and wrist and don't repeat my mistake of thinking it will heal by itself...
    Take care!

    1. Thank you so much, it is so super sad :(
      Yes, my back does this from time to time, so I know what to do, I'm lucky to have a hyperextension bench that helps me within 1-4 days, depending on how bad it is...

  10. First I wanted to write how I love this polish and how I admire that creator chose to name it after a Bauhaus song (they are one of my favourite bands), but then I read the end of the post and it got me so sad.
    A cat lover myself, I feel the pain of your losses as if those were my own cats. You have shared photos and videos of your cats so often that I felt like I met them in person, especially Ivan. My thoughts are with you and your furbabies and I wish that you never again go through something like this.

    1. Yes, I remember that you fell for Ivan, he was a wonderful cat with the biggest purring engine...
      Thank you so much my dear friend!
