Stella Chroma: October Trio, 2019

Hullo, hullo!  Monday, you weren't so bad!  I got to the gym for a weight lifting sesh with friends and then even ran a few miles on the treadmill.  Polishing off the rest of the birthday cake in my house pretty much negated any good I did earlier, oh well, it's a step in the right direction!  

I have a beautiful trio to share with you this evening, the Stella Chroma October Trio.  These pink beauties are different shades and finishes, so truly something for everyone here.  Pam will be donating a portion of the sales to her local hospital to help pay for mammograms for women who don't have health insurance.  These are not LE, but only the sales in October will go towards the donation.  You can pick these up for $12-$13 each or $33 for the trio (only until 10/11).  Let's jump in and see what the October Trio is all about!

Stella Chroma: Indie Love & Light ROAK, Shine

Evening!  Jumping on for a wuickie post featuring a beautiful polish from Stella Chroma.  This is Shine, created for the Indie Love & Light RAOK group. The idea of the group is quite nice and sweet.  You can purchase the polish and have it sent to someone else as a RAOK (random act of kindness). I personally know how special it can make you feel to send and receive surprise polishes, I really hope this group takes off!!  You will be able to purchase Shine for yourself or as a gift for someone else starting 8/23.  It will be $10 and shipping is free.  Let's check out the polish!

Lollipop Posse Lacquer; IEC 2019 LE Shades - The Best of the Best & The Worst of the Worst

Morning again!  Hope your Friday is running smoothly!  We had some school things to take care of yesterday but today we have 100% nothing to do.  Well I have nothing to do, but my son, who is in Advanced Math, hasn't finished his Summer math homework and only has 5 days of Summer left.  So you know that means we are sitting at home, he gets no mouse, no phone, no tv remote until he finishes it up.  I swear that kid is such a procrastinator.  Other than that I am happy to show you some polishes that will be at the Indie Expo Canada next weekend.  These are both from Lollipop Posse and are Limited Edition.  Whatever doesn't sell at the event will be up for grabs on the website at some point after.  The Best of the Best and The Worst of the Worst will be $13 CAD each.  And if you are thinking of making the trek to Toronto, the IEC is on 8/18 and you can still get tickets HERE.  Until then, keep your fingers crossed for an over-pour/extras announcement from Karen!

Lollipop Posse; Hella Handmade Creations, August 2019 - I Make Things Want Things

Good day to you.  And happy middle of the week.  Still on the back to school countdown.  1 week to go and Dobby is FREEEEEEE!  I think I am more nervous than excited this year because 2 of my kids are starting a new school.  I know they'll be fine though.  I changed schools a few times as a kid and my husband did a lot.  I mean A LOT.  And he was totally fine too.  Just my being a mom, hoping they make friends, have someone to sit with at lunch. So anyways, that's what I'm thinking about lately.   Let's talk polish though!  The HHC opens up soon and I have a stunning polish from Lollipop Posse to share with you.  This month Karen brings us I Make Things Want Things, inspired by Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels.  I don't know much about Sandman, but I know Neil Gaiman has been hot on the Fandom scene lately. I also know this polish is a hands down stunna!  You can purchase I Make Things Want Things from 8/14 - 8/21.  It will be $13, no cap.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer: September Year of Tarot - Death & September Single Pour LE - Fallen Woman in Dancing Costume

Guess what, I am not at a soccer game or soccer practice.  I'm at a volleyball game, HA!  I'm back with a couple Lollipops that I didn't share with my last post because I felt they deserved their own!  First off we have the newest addition to the Year of Tarot, Death.  Then there's the September Single Pour LE, Fallen Woman in Dancing Costume.  My understanding is that these will both be limited in supply, due to bottle issues.  so they may go into a pre-order if they sell out right away.  And of course the Single Pour is just that and when it's gone it's gone.  Both will be available this Friday 9/21 at 8pm EDT.  They will be $12 and $10. So you ready to jump in and check them out?  Let's do it!

Envy Lacquer + Never Enuff Polish; TIS San Francisco Duo, Boat Snack & Beyond the Reef

Morning dears!  Exciting game this morning!  Who are we rooting for, Croatia or France?  Truthfully neither are "MY" team so I am just enjoying the game. Anywho, looking through old polish I haven't swatched/shared with you and realized I didn't do anything from The Indie Shop that was in San Francisco last summer.  It was a really fun event, mermaid themed, my daughter enjoyed it as well.  I really hope they plan on coming back to the Bay Area soon!  So this was a duo available at the show, created by Envy Lacquer and Nvr Enuff, I think they actually came with a cute frosty blue shot glass but I don't remember where I put that.  They were inspired by the movie Moana.  Of course these aren't available now, but both shops have lots of gorgeous polish to pick from so head over to their sites to check them out.

Vapid Lacquer; Halloween Trio

Afternoon beauties!  Hope your hump day is going well (or went well).  I like to volunteer at the kids schools and today was my first time volunteering as lunch yard duty at the middle school.  I felt like such a dork wearing that neon vest walking around with my walkie talkie.  I saw lots of kids I know but none of them wanted anything to do with me - UGH how mortifying!, a parent I know!  Haha.  I even saw my son, well, the back of his head.  He must have eaten lunch faster than usual because it was legit only 3 minutes then he disappeared. I know he saw me and skedaddled out of the quad.  Anyways, it was hot out there.  I can't believe it's Fall because it doesn't feel like it.  I want to feel that chill in the air, especially as we roll up to Halloween.  But I guess if I can't have that crisp Autumn air I'll settle for an amazing Halloween trio.  

This brand new trio is from Vapid Lacquer and it will be available on 10/1 at 2pm Central.  These will be the only items stocked.  You will only be able to purchase full sized bottles and 1 of each color per person.  So let's jumping and check them out.
