ANNOUNCING: The Must Be Jelly Collection by Princess Polish

I'm INCREDIBLY EXCITED today to officially announce the launch of my own line of indie polishes called... what else... Princess Polish!

The first collection consists of five holo jelly shades that are perfect for spring and summer called Must Be Jelly.

 

WARNING: This is going to be majorly pic heavy!

Here is a shot of the mini bottles, which were what I used to officially formulate the collection. I'm in the process of making labels and decorating the caps, but I couldn't wait to show you all. From left to right, there is Strawberry Jam, Mint Jelly, Grape Jelly, Orange Marmalade, and Blueberry Jam.


Here is Strawberry Jam, Mint Jelly, Grape Jelly, and Orange Marmalade in the shade.


And here they are in artificial light. Unfortunately, we're in the first few days of a week of rain here in Jersey, so I couldn't get a sunlight pic. But will post one to my Facebook page as soon as the sun rears her head again!

In case you were in need of more sparkly, holo goodness, here are close ups of each shade!


Blueberry Jam, a bright blue linear holo jelly.


Grape Jelly, a rich purple linear holo jelly.


Mint Jelly, a lime scattered holo jelly.


Orange Marmalade, a bright tangerine scattered holo jelly.


And last, but not least... Strawberry Jam, a rich magenta holo jelly.

The shades are currently available for pre-order here for the next 48 hours (through 11:59pm EST Wednesday), as part of a Facebook and Princess Polish reader exclusive! It is $5 per shade for a mini bottle (5mL), $8.50 for a full sized bottle (15mL), $22.50 for the Mini Collection (5 bottles), and $40 for the Full Sized Collection.

After that, the shades will be available on a permanent basis through the Princess Polish Store on Storenvy starting in the middle of June.

So what do you all think of my babies? I've been working so hard on them and I'm dying to know what you all think! I'm going to be updating my page with bottle shots once they're decorated and labeled, so stay tuned!

With much love,
Princess Polish

Swatch and Review: Dazzle Dry Calypso Romance

Good morning, all!

Today, I'm bringing to you a shade from the just-released Summer Scape collection by Dazzle Dry called Calypso Romance.


In the bottle, Calypso Romance has a prominent blue shimmer. But did it translate to the nail?

ANNOUNCING: Charity Nail Polish Jewelry Sale!






I've been making nail polish jewelry for myself for as long as I can remember and have made a few pairs of earrings for different occasions, unable to find the right color combo. With the encouragement of my friends, I have opened up an online shop featuring earrings, pendants, hair clips, and other items made with nail polish! The BEST part is that all of the profits are donated to Autism New Jersey, a nonprofit dedicated to serving autistic individuals and their families.

I'm constantly adding items to the site and only the earrings are up at the moment. They are available in both sterling silver and surgical steel.

Another cool aspect of the jewelry is that I am able to do custom designs in whatever combinations, shades, and patterns you can dream up. There is no additional charge for a custom order either! Check out my polish stash here for some ideas!

There is a certain pre-made quantity of each item listed at the store, but they don't take too long to make. So don't worry if something sells out. It will be re-stocked really quickly!

If you have any questions or custom orders, please feel free to email me: PrincessPolishBlog(at)gmail.com.

Thank you in advance for your support!
