Cult Nails launched their newest collection Coco's Untamed Collection tonight!  Coco, the creator's awesome 13 year old daughter designed this line herself (look out Ariana Pierce!)  This five piece collection is available at a reduced price of $40 for all 5 (normally $10 a bottle) from now until 17 July, so get your orders in now!

The colors in Coco's Collection include:
I Got Distracted - A black jelly polish with holographic glitter interrupted by intense green glitter.
Deal With It - Coco's favorite color, lime green loaded with gold shimmer
Annalicious - A shimmery red with an orange influence packed full of red and gold shimmer
Untamed - A bubble gum pink sheer jelly polish with subtle multi colored shimmer
Spontaneous - A dark, deep and dusty purple creme with vibrant purple glitter.

I have the whole set to show you but I got overexcited and wanted to paint my nails with Spontaneous so here is 2 coats of Spontaneous (base coat of Poshe, top coat of Seche Vite)


Yes this is my rarely seen right hand with its wonky pinkie.  I also managed to nick my ring finger and paint all over my index cuticle in the process.  I promise for more in depth reviews soon!  My desk is swarming in polish but now that I have my Shellac off, I'm ready to do some damage.  :]

Cult Nails [Facebook | Twitter] is available in their shop for $10 a bottle. You can also purchase from Overall Beauty.

Urban Decay and China

Recently, one of my favorite makeup brands, Urban Decay, decided to make the move to expand into China.  For some people, this means nothing other than "Okay, so products will be sold into China."  For others, this was a huge slap in the face, as Urban Decay has been listed as a cruelty-free brand, committed to ending animal testing.  China's government requires the testing of products on animals before they can be sold in their country.


PolishGalore is not a vegan or cruelty free blog, but I do feel that this information needs to be shared to the readers.


After a large backlash from readers, consumers, bloggers, vegan and cruelty free customers, Urban Decay decided to reverse their business decision and will not be selling in China.  For some, this is a victory.  For others, this seems like a large press relations nightmare and even a scam to sell more products, as the announcement came on the weekend before their Fall products are available for sale.  


On my end, I will not be able to provide you with any new Urban Decay press releases.  This has nothing to do with their decision and reversal to sell in China, but rather Urban Decay has decided to no longer provide me with press material and instead only provide to "top blogs we [they] work with regularly".  I do apologize, but you can sign up for their free customer newsletter here.

Howdy!

Well, June kind of slip past me.  Sorry I've been quiet the past couple of weeks - work has kept me busy, oh and...



I got engaged on 19 June!  Of COURSE when I actually got proposed to, I had naked nails, haha.  My above polish is CND Shellac "Hollywood" with "Mother of Pearl" but more on that later.

Cosmoprof North America Las Vegas is just 3 weeks away so that's my next big thing to prepare for!  I just spent a week in Maine with my fiancé's family (haha, that word is kind of awesome), and I've been up for 17 straight hours and have many more to go before I can go to sleep (work first thing in the morning!) but I have many things to show you too!  Thanks for sticking around!
