Anchor & Heart Lacquer January and February Message in a Bottle Swatch and Review
**Press Samples**
Today's post is really special. Taryn, the beautiful soul behind Anchor & Heart Lacquer, was trying to figure out what to do for the new year. Last year, each month had a special duo that was only available for the month. It had a great response, but she wanted to change it up this year. Every time she tried to talk about this current year's monthly special I could sense some frustration. She wasn't 100% happy with anything. I asked her if I could give her a suggestion. When I said that, I honestly had no idea what I was going to tell her, but she needed something. Maybe some back and forth banter would push her to the right idea. Then, it hit me! I mentioned maybe calling them Messages in a Bottle, and having each one named for a mantra or just something that might brighten someone's day. Lately, a lot of us need that extra bit of kind words or show of support. Hearing what we need to hear could be as easy as looking at the bottom of a bottle of nail polish. As I was telling her, my eyes were welling up with tears. When she told me it was exactly what she was looking for, she was crying. It was perfect! It was just what she needed to hear. Now that I've started crying just typing all that out, let's get to the polishes. I hope you like them as much as we do!
