Love Thy Polish sale!

 

 

Love Thy Polish is having a sale to say THANK YOU for your support over the past 18 months. The past few months have been huge for LTP. We have secured three new Aussie stockists, two of whom are in South Australia and will be using LTP for manis and pedis inhouse as well as selling them, and the other is Femme Fatale Cosmetics, based online in QLD.

Love Thy Polish also has its first international stockist, Mei Mei’s Signatures! LTP will be available to purchase from there within the next day or so. The stock has arrived in Singapore and will be launched on the website soon. Mei Mei’s Signatures ships WORLDWIDE, so all the LTP fans who have held off buying due to exhorbitant Australia Post shipping charges, you can now shop online at Mei Mei’s Signatures and buy all sorts of other indie brands including Enchanted Polish, A-England, Cirque and more. Mei Mei’s Signatures also stocks mainstream brands like China Glaze and Color Club and nail tools and accessories.

 

So to say thank you for making this all possible, ALL Love Thy Polish products are 15% off at www.lovethypolish.com until 5pm SA time tomorrow (9 June 2013). Aussies only, unfortunately, but international ladies, keep your eyes on Mei Mei’s Signatures!

What’s In-die Box?

Hey everyone!

I have some very exciting news to share with you today. Rachel from Glam Polish has come up with a fantastic idea – Australia’s first monthly indie box!

 

What’s In-die Box? contains five Aussie indie polishes which are BRAND NEW shades and in some cases, limited edition.

The best part is, you don't need to commit to a monthly subscription. Just pre-order each time!

 

The theme for the June box is Toy Story and myself, Glam Polish, Peita’s Polish, Lilypad Lacquer and Alanna Renee will be participating.

For more information about the box and on how to order you can go here:

HARE Golden Years & Oceans of Alloys and Dollish Polish Go Luigi!

I have a couple of pretty indies for you today. We do really have some talented ladies out there who create some beauties.

The first is a couple from HARE polish. Nikole creates some gorgeous polishes and I believe she creates them with her partner/husband!

The darker blue with green and silver glitter is Golden Years and the light blue is Oceans of Alloys. Oceans of Alloys is “a dusty light blue jelly with a mixture of gold and copper glitter in both hexes and squares in several different sizes. Mysterious iridescent blue glitter is scattered throughout, as well as delicate gold flecks.” It really is lovely. Golden Years is “a semi-sheer navy blue jelly packed full of gold glitter in squares and hexes in all kinds of sizes, mysterious iridescent blue glitter, navy blue hexes and delicate gold flecks”.
I used two coats of each and had no issues with application despite the fact they are very glitter-heavy.

The next polish is quite old but a favourite of mine.

Dollish Polish Go Luigi! layered here over black. Isn’t this CUTE!? I just love green and blue glitter. I had to fish for that poor lone star, so that’s my only complaint. This was two coats.

What’s your favourite indie brand?

Girly Bits Mother May I?

This was one of the first indies I acquired. I got it in a grab bag, I think. I really wanted to like it. I really, really did.

 

See? What’s not to like?! A lovely pale purple jelly base with all different shapes and sizes of red and blue glitter. This is three coats on top of a PVA base.

I don’t know, I just don’t like it on me. It didn’t wow me.

 

Do you have it? What do you think?

Whimsical Ideas by Pam Peanut Butter and Jelly with Australis Milky Way

I was lucky enough to acquire one of the Whimsical Ideas by Pam polishes and had to try it literally the moment it arrived.

I whacked on my PVA base coat for easy removal and away I went!

 

Two coats of Peanut Butter and Jelly. This is such a gorgeous squishy red-purple jelly with gold hexes and micro glitter. Two coats and it was perfect. I didn’t have to go fishing for glitter!

I decided to do an accent nail of Australis Milky Way. Australis have been trying some different things lately and this polish is really cute! Two coats and it was good to go.

 

I just love the packaging of the Whimsies. The little bow on the bottle lid is adorable!! It’s little special touches like that which make the polish, in my opinion.

 

Do you have any Whimsies?

Gloss n’ Sparkle–Unicorn Droppings & Goblin’s Grave

Hi all! I have been a crappy blogger, haven’t I?! I don’t remember when I last posted and now I have a huuuuuuuge backlog of photos to edit and posts to write. Whoops!

Anyway, here are couple of polishes from Aussie indie brand Gloss n’ Sparkle.

 

Unicorn Droppings:

Love, love, LOVE! A gorgeous milky white base with holo shimmer and rainbow hexes. This was two coats which gave enough coverage! I must wear this again because the night I put it on, I used a PVA base and I had to take my partner to the emergency room and he was admitted for suspected appendicitis. So I peeled it all off while in the ER anxiously waiting.

 

Goblin’s Grave:

Gorgeous!!! Look at the depth to this lovely squishy deep green polish. All the different coloured hexes:

*drool*

 

I used three coats of this as it was a little on the sheer side. This was one time I was too lazy to use my peel off base coat and I regretted it when it came time to remove it. Oh, removal was a bitch alright!

 

I mattified it for something a little different:

Ahhhh, perfect!
