AIPAS NEWSLETTER - 26 October 2013

Welcome to the first AIPAS newsletter!  This one is a little pic heavy because of all the lovely Halloween releases, and we are covering a month instead of just a week or two! 

TALES FROM THE MOD TEAM


The Mod Team has had a rather busy month behind the scenes since opening up the Facebook group.  We've set up information and guidelines for everybody, implemented and tweaked the system of albums for sharing our images, set up files to keep track of brand and social media information, and tamed the release/sales dates calendar.  

If you have any suggestions or ideas on how we can do something differently, please feel free to message one of the mods.

We have set up this blog, and an Instagram account, as an easy way to publish the AIPAS newsletters as well as helping getting the existence of AIPAS out into the world.  Our aim? To help our awesome Aussie Indie brands take over the polish world!  Muhahaha!

Mod Team

Your Mod team is Cassandra Goodwin, Nicole Wearmouth, Relle Kins and Teneil Masters

HALLOWEEN RELEASES


It was a pleasure to see so many Aussie indies get into the spirit of the Halloween season with some special releases.  Some were limited edition, and are nearly (or may have already) sold out.  Others are still readily available, but I wouldn't suggest delay if you fall in love with one!

AIPAS

WELCOME TO THE AUSTRALIAN INDIE POLISH APPRECIATION SOCIETY!


The main purpose of this blog is to publish newsletters for the Australian Indie Polish Appreciation Society's Facebook group, although I'm sure we will have an occasional feature or article on top of the newsletters.


A Little About AIPAS


AIPAS was started on 10 September 2013  by four Aussie Indie polish enthusiasts, Cassandra Goodwin, Nicole Wearmouth, Relle C and Teneil Masters, with an aim to raise the profile of all Aussie indie polish brands, as well as helping other fans keep up with releases, sales, stockist info, blog reviews, contests and ALL THE SWATCHES!!

The Facebook group is open worldwide, and all are welcome.  Please drop by and check us out!  Your budget will be sorry, but your nails will be in heaven.
