NEW POLISH RELEASES
Powder Perfect are set to release their Lady is a Vamp collection on 26 June. The collection features 6 polishes and is about celebrating what makes us feel good. Getting dressed up to the nines, or wearing your old faded jeans and a tshirt, the polishes are inspired by those things that make us feel vibrant and alive. There will be a creme polish, 3 glitters and 2 holographic shades.
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.
POLISH RELATED INDIE NEWS
Help Me Ronda are excited to announce the launch of a new product - Rub-a-dub Scrub! This scrub is for hands and body, and will be available for purchase when the Help Me Ronda Etsy store reopens on July 1st.
It's made of shea butter, jojoba and coconut oils together with rice and tea tree powders, which gives you a gentle but effective and nourishing scrub that will leave you feeling soft, supple and smooth. Ronda will be having discount combos too, so make sure you keep up to date on the HMR Facebook page.
