I've got another haul of Nail Mail to show you today. Enjoy!
My first haul was from my frequented polish sanctuary Rainbow Connection UK.
From Left to Right is Colors by Llarowe 'Helen', 'Pink Lady Stamping Polish' and 'On the Wings of Eagles' and Pretty Serious 'All that Remains' and 'Princess Plutonium'.
The Colors by Llarowe polishes 'Helen' and 'On the Wings of Eagles' are part of the Spring 2016 collection dedicated to Helen who is battling Cancer. Although I don't know Helen personally we are both Rainbow Connection UK frequenters and often interact on Facebook etc... She is always so positive and I was so pleased when Colors by Llarowe announced this collection dedicated to her and her wonderful spirit and love of all things PINK! A portion of the money for these polishes is going to Helen's charity. I've put the lovely words from Leah Ann LaRowe below and the link to Helen's charity. I love it when indie polish makers work with charities.
'There are times in life that we find a person who inspires us. even though i have never met helen as she lives an ocean away, she is my hero. i always thought life was just a means to an end and that life was a painful journey with rich rewards at the end. i was wrong. helen has shown me that i need to treasure each and every moment here on earth and to live as if tomorrow will never come. helen finds joy in the smallest moments and even in adversity. she is and has been battling an illness with grace, dignity and a zest for life i have not seen before. she reminds me that there are challenges in life that show us what is really important and how to meet those challenges head on and never give up. my outlook on life has changed dramatically just from knowing this wonderful lady who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. thank god for you helen, it is an honor to be called your friend. this collection was inspired by your spirit, your heart and your wonderful soul.'
I also got the new Fab Ur Nails Clean Up brush with my RC Order this week.
I tried it out on my last mani and it is excellent. The brush is angled which is really good for working around your nail and the bristles aren't too rigid or too soft so the pressure from the bristles is just right to take off the polish that has gone outside the nail and leaving the nail polish on the nail in place. I've had various clean up brushes this year but none have been great and I kept finding myself going back to an old nail art brush that was very small and less than ideal. This brush is a good size and hopefully it will last well. I'll give you an update in about a month to see how it's fairing with the acetone! So far so good!
I also had my Hypnotic Polish order arrive this week. They're based in the Netherlands and the shipping was super fast. I just got the standard option to the UK which was a good price!
I just had to take a picture of this beautiful packaging!
All these polishes are Hypnotic Store Exclusives. From Left to Right (in the swatch stick picture; cannot believe I muddled them up between pictures, there's only 3!) is Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Ambrosial', 'Emily de Molly 'Chiffon' and 'Femme Fatale Cosmetics 'Paramour'.
More pretties for my collection. Anything you like the look of for a full mani in the next few weeks? Let me know!
Thanks for visiting,
Have a lovely day,
Helen xx
