Enchanted Polish - Purple Roses


Hello Everyone!!  I'm so excited to share with you, Purple Roses, by Enchanted Polish!  This polish was given to me as a gift, which makes it even more special.  Purple Roses was created to raise awareness of Cystic Fibrosis.  When Googled, the definition is listed as:  "Cystic fibrosis is a disease passed down through families that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other areas of the body. It is one of the most common chronic lung diseases in children and young adults. It is a life-threatening disorder."  You can learn more at http://www.cff.org/aboutcf/.

As listed on the Enchanted Polish website: "Dedicated to cystic fibrosis awareness and a beautiful friend. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation- Greater Illinois Chapter (http://www.cff.org)."  I love when brands give back and raise awareness.  It is so amazing to see that kindness and generosity.  Cystic Fibrosis Awareness is particularly important to me to raise awareness, as I have a family member with this terrible disease.  It is a hard disease to live with, but I feel as those who have it are strong and fight against it.  I am always looking towards the future for the cure, and with research and donations, I hope that one day this disease will no longer be able to hurt any of the ones we love.


You can purchase Enchanted Polish at http://www.enchantedpolish.com/, and stay up to date with Enchanted Polish on Facebook. I recommend checking out the Llarowe and Harlow & Co. shops to see other pretties by Enchanted Polish! There are some amazing colors available, but a lot are out of stock! They restock quite a bit, so make sure to follow them on Facebook for shop updates, Llarowe - Facebook and Harlow & Co. Facebook.  Enchanted Polish sells out very quickly, as it is in high demand!  You can sign up for e-mails to be notified on the website for restocks!


For Purple Roses, I used 2 coats along with Clearly on Top by KBShimmer.


The base is a gorgeous purple foil that shines beautifully with the holo!  The two are a stunning combination together!  Below is blurred to show the sparkle!


Here is Purple Roses in the shade.


For children, Cystic Fibrosis is hard to say.  I mean, even as an adult, I think it's a mouthful!  So when a child was one trying to say it, it came out 65 Roses and the name has become apart of Cystic Fibrosis Awareness.  That is one of my favorite stories that I've heard, as even through such a scary disease, could come something so beautiful as the image of a rose.  Also, Cystic Fibrosis is represented by the color purple.  That is part of why I think this polish is so special and perfect for the representation of CF!

I found this while searching Purple Roses & Cystic Fibrosis and thought it was perfect to share!

And here it is in my light box.



Close up in the sun!


Isn't this a beautiful polish?  I love the idea behind it and how stunning it is.  This polish will always be very close to my heart.  Another reason why the nail polish community has so much more depth and meaning than just a bottle of polish!  It's also about the generosity, kindness, and love that we all share.

In case you missed above, you can purchase Enchanted Polish at http://www.enchantedpolish.com/, and stay up to date with Enchanted Polish on Facebook. I recommend checking out the Llarowe and Harlow & Co. shops to see other pretties by Enchanted Polish!

Zoya - Stunning & Irresistible (Tape Manis!)

Hello Everyone!!  I'm so excited to show you the combined tape manis of the Zoya Stunning and Irresistible collections!  I had this idea before I even saw them because of their pamphlet that came out with a previous order and they were lined up side by side!

In case you missed my previous reviews, Stunning collection can be found - HERE



You can purchase the Stunning Collection for $48, or any individual shade for $8. https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/018C7926 < ------ This is a Share the Love link for the Stunning Collection colors, which is a way for me to earn points through them! So cool for me, but you guys can get something too! See what Zoya wrote: "Remember EVERYONE WINS with "Share the Love": When someone clicks on your personal link and sets up an online account, a $5 coupon a coupon for a FREE Bottle of Zoya Nail Polish will automatically be placed in their account and can be used immediately on their current order. TIP: If you use this coupon and add 2 more polishes to your order, you get free shipping too! The coupon will appear in the "My Coupons/ Promos" section of their "My Account" Page."

Pretty great deal! I don't see any promotions right now other than free shipping, but hopefully they will have some other fun deals soon!
