Glam Polish have their Epic Journey and June Exotic Shades Collections available for pre-order!





Bella's Touch will be releasing 5 new polishes on Monday 23 June at 4pm.  There is no theme, and all are very different.  Keep your eye out for @serenitynails_ and @nailingaround on Instagram for swatches and reviews.  All are $8.50.


ANNOUNCEMENTS



Shades of Phoenix are trialling international shipping at the moment, so if you are outside of Australia, now's your chance to get your hands on some SOP direct!  Check this SOP Facebook page post for more information.



Gloss 'n Sparkle has been working hard behind the scenes, but popped out briefly to let AIPAS know that GnS polishes will soon be re-stocked at Llarowe, Mei Mei's Signatures, Femme Fatale and Edgy Nails.  Angela has also been working on her soy wax melts range, so keep watch for the new melt flavours!  There are also whispers about the possibility of a second US distributor, so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled when it comes to Gloss 'n Sparkle, it sounds like there are going to be a lot of things to tempt us in the coming weeks.  



Sayuri Nail Lacquer will be at the Brisbane Twilight Markets next weekend from 5pm to 9pm Friday.  If you're going to the markets, make sure you pop by and say hello!  (and check out the whole range in person!)  Sayuri will also be at the Brisbane Miss Muddy charity fun/mud run on the Sunday.
