AIPAS NEWSLETTER - 15 December 2013

Welcome to the Australian Indie Polish Appreciation Society newsletter.  With the lead up to Christmas, and people visiting family, we may not have time to publish a newsletter for the next couple of weeks. If you haven't already joined the Facebook group, it might be a good time as there are quite a few Boxing Day sales, and a generous helping of swatches for each brand to help decide where to spend that Christmas money!

WHO IS AIPAS?

The Australian Indie Polish Appreciation Society was created with a simple goal, to help promote and share the love of Aussie Indie polish brands.

You can join in on the fun and keep track of release and sale info and giveaways by joining the AIPAS Facebook Group.  If joining a community isn't your style, follow this blog by GFC or Bloglovin for the highlights.

The AIPAS Mod team comprises of Cassie Goodwin (Reluctant Femme), Nicole Wearmouth, Relle Kins (Lazy Lacquerista) and Teneil Masters (Shades of Phoenix).  You can email the mod team at aussieindiemods @ gmail.com or send us a private FB message.

WEEKLY THEME - RED

Our theme challenge this week was Red!  All the red!  Are you ready to see red?  Two brands dominated our Red week, and I have included all of the manis that were posted.
