I have always been a creative person, and I always want to do something new and different. So, indulging in my love of polishes I thought- Why don't I create my own line of nail polish. I have often had a polish that I liked but thought, this would be even nicer if..... blah blah blah. So- I began scouring companies for raw ingredients, did some research on chemicals and formulas to try and make myself some polishes. And I started of being a kitchen chemist. I found myself knee deep... er make that shoulder deep in pigments and bases and amazing colours. How could I not want to share this? So, I have been formulating some colours, and putting together some seasonal collections, and I plan to launch my own line of nail polish when I have enough stock to supply at least the first collection.
I have not officially named the company yet, although I have ideas. However being a Libra, I am very indecisive. So I have decided to run a contest of sorts. I will be taking submissions to name the polish line/company and if I choose yours, you will receive a set of the first collection released. (and I am sure a few other goodies)
I will post when the contest is officially open, but you can post below, or email me now at pamsgirlybits@hotmail(dot)com if you have a suggestion, and I will bank it for the contest.
SO- on with the preview. These are just some that I have been working on lately. They are likely to be tweaked a bit yet before release, and they will not all be in the same collection. But I did want to share a little taste.
*** NOTE-The bottles shown are not the retail bottles. They are old polish bottles that I cleaned out and use for mixing and testing, so I don't waste the retail bottles ***
This one is a deep dusty blue with lots of gold and greenish shimmer.
She is un-named as of yet. I am always open to name suggestions too.
This one I have called Bollywood for now. She is a medium-light aqua colour with lots of gold shimmer/micro glitter. The pics show her to be a little more blue than in real life. She is definitely aqua/very light turquoise.
Mint green with subtle silver shimmer. The first picture is the most colour accurate.
Again, un-named as of yet.
Look at that holo sparkle!
This one started out to be a dupe of OPI's My Private Jet. I have not decided if I should make it a little more charcoal/grey so it's closer to MPJ or keep it the way it is. Either way, she is a stunner. This is one coat over one coat of black polish.
This one is a lovely rosey pink colour, chock full of multi-coloured sparkles. There is blue, pink, yellow, orange, gold, purple, teal, you name it, its in there.
This one is a dusty blue-ish purple with blue and pink sparkles in it.
And last but not least, this is a shimmery grape purple holo.
And it's a linear holo!
YAY for Holo!! *\o/*
Ok, that's it for this post. I hope you are as excited for these as I am. And please let me know your thoughts on the colours, and ideas for names. Even if you think the colours are boring, let me know. I don't want to produce a bunch of colours that no one will love ♥
And yes, some of these pictures posted sideways. I will go fix them later :)
