Look at the big pile of adorable that arrived in my mail today.

Yes, that’s right, Sailor Moon nail polishes. I collect nail polishes and when my friend pointed me to The Lovely Moon Collection, I fell in love. Clockwise from top right, the collection includes “Rei”, “Usagi”, “Minako”, “Ami”, “Makoto” and an extra sixth colour called “Moon Kitty”. Please excuse my terrible photography, but really, nothing comes close to capturing Daily Lacquer’s awesome previews;

They are just as vibrant and sweet in real life and I’m going to ramble about them a lot, because I like nail polish.

These aren’t the first Sailor Moon-themed nail polish blends, but they appealed to me because it’s obvious that a lot of thought has gone into them. They’re not just a generic set of basic primary/secondary colours with maybe some glitter; actual consideration has gone into connecting each one with their character.
All of them, as a start, have star and moon shapes in them, colour-coordinated of course. This is an obvious and adorable link back to Sailor Moon. Mars, Jupiter and Moon are clear with glitter, Venus is a tint, and Mercury & Moon Kitty are opaque jelly polishes.

Mars’s glitters are sharp, with a lot of colour variation that makes me think of fire, and just a hint of purple. They all have stars in them, but the red stars in “Rei” remind me of Sailor Mars’s earrings, too.
The shapes in Jupiter’s are all quite large and chunky compared to the others, adding to its charm - just like Jupiter.
I like that Venus is a tint, because people can never seem to pick if her colour is orange or yellow, and this works well both ways. I’m really attracted to the blue sparkles - the blue in Venus’s design often gets overlooked, but the shade picked is perfect.
Moon? Ok, Moon is like a party popper in a bottle. It’s straight-up confetti on your nails in here. Looking at it makes me think of Usagi wearing a party dress. The mix of colours relate to all of Moon’s outfits, which run a wider variety of colours than the others’.
Mercury and Moon Kitty are my favourites. The colours are very clear and so beautiful; the shades are just so attractive and the jelly finish works perfectly. The smaller, less obtrusive glitters in Mercury’s remind me of mist; the unified colour of the glitter in Moon Kitty and the way the silver moons stand out against the purple reminds me so much of Luna.

Nailpolishes are already linked to the Sailor Soldiers transforming, but the square/pentagonal/hexagonal shapes in these blends are my favourite parts, because they remind me so much of the shapes that are ubiquitous with the Sailor Soldiers’ later transformation sequences;

Basically what I’m trying to say is that a lot of effort, thought and planning clearly went into these polishes, and they’re gorgeous as a result. At $8 a generously-sized bottle they’re very reasonable, and you get a great discount if you buy them as a set.

I live in Australia. I waited months for my Shirt Punch shirt to arrive. These got to me within a week, and the packaging was just as cute and thoughtful as the product. If you like nailpolish even as half as much as I do, I heartily recommend these.

Today’s theme is, “Search for Your Love.” The inspiration for these three necklaces comes from my very favorite Sailor Moon Series, Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon: Sailor Stars. I love the three lights and Sailor Starlights. First is Kou Seiya Necklace, second is Kou Yaten Necklace and third is Kou Taiki Necklace.

All items can be found on my Anime Couture Jewelry etsy store. :-)

**My previous post is a part of my “Search for Your Love” theme, I hope you all enjoy the song as much as I do. :-)

lunacymagazine:

Lunacy magazine shines a spotlight on fan-made merchandise each issue, and as Minako would probably say, we warmly encourage you to advertise the heck out of your fabulous selves. If you have an etsy store, a DA page, or just any place you sell your wares, send us a link and tell us all about it. Submit some of your best pieces or just let us explore for ourselves; there’s nothing wrong with self-promotion, and we want to see what’s on offer!

The one little rule is that we’re not looking for one-off items at the moment; we want any and all fans to be able to get their own piece, so if you don’t have a big stockpile already made, you gotta be at least willing to create them on-demand!

Submit your Sailor stores to us here on Tumblr, or send us a tweet @LunacyMagazine on Twitter.

Hello all. More charm spam. Otakon is approaching and that means its major crunch time, and I could use the extra funds for the long drive to Baltimore! 

As a bonus and to show my gratitude, I am selling these at a lower price than my other charms. I will also add a free Sailor Moon bookmark if you order between July 24 - July 26. Though I won’t be able to ship these until next week because of Otakon.

Thanks so much for all your previous sales, and thanks to the really kind customers I’ve had!

Also, I will be posting the Akira Charms later on today when I get some assembled! 

THEY ARE SOLD HERE! <3 

Oh wow, these are super cute!

This is seriously my favorite uniform out of them all. Ugh. I want it. 

Man, I agree. Rei’s uniform was the bomb. I think it’s the buttons.
