Octopus Party Nail Lacquer March 2018 Releases Swatches and Review Part 1

Sadly, earlier this year Dave of Octopus Party Nail Lacquer announced that he was closing the brand's Etsy shop. I have been a fan and customer of his polishes for years now, and I just refused to accept this sad news. Luckily my persistence in ignoring reality paid off and we are getting at least one more release, as long as Dave need to use up some of his stockpile of ingredients. Yay! These polishes are available until April 6 for order by joining his Facebook group, The Octosquad. I have the first three to show you today.

Celestial Cosmetics Greek Goddesses Collection Swatches and Review Part 1

Tonight's post is incredibly bittersweet for me. Sweet, because Celestial Cosmetics has just released six more gorgeous shades as part of the Greek Goddesses Collection. Bitter, because it is the last release from the brand, after five wonderful years in business. I am heartbroken - there is no other way to put it. Celestial Cosmetics has been one of my favorites since I made my first purchase in the fall of 2013. The quality and creativity has been consistently amazing over the years and I treasure all of the polishes I have from Nicki. It is a hard time for Australian indies - Glittering Elements, another of my main indie squeezes, also has just had to shut down. Mainly, the change in Australian post not allowing direct polish shipments out of the country has made doing business internationally a huge challenge. The added costs and complications of having to make group shipments via DHL has necessitated three-part shipping and U.S. distribution costs that make it hard to stay afloat, especially when most of the brands have simply absorbed the added cost rather than pass it along to us. All I can say is, please support the Australian brands you love - it makes all the difference in the world! You will still have through the end of the month to pick up some amazing polishes from Celestial Cosmetics' international store, including the best neon holos I have ever tried and some lovely shimmers and multichromes. I have half of the newest Greek Goddesses Collection to share today.
