... AND THEN SHE WENT ALL FANGIRL ON ME


Did you know that some of our awesome indies have brand-specific fan groups?  Brand specific groups are a great way to keep up to date on your favourite indie makers, and there's always the chance of fan-only sneaky peeks at new products, possible discounts and flash sales, and more.

If you know of any other fan groups for Aussie indie polish (run or sanctioned by the brand, not purely fan run), please leave a link in the comments!
