Today I'm excited to show you a new line of polishes by
The Nail Junkie! My friend Aleta has just launched her premier line of 3-Free and Cruelty-Free (which you all know is HUGE for me) polishes and I have swatches galore to show you. Check out
her blog for all the details...

First, the presentation was amazing. You can tell she put so much thought into each and every detail from presentation and shipping to the polishes themselves. I'll let the photos speak for themselves but I'll be tossing my two cents in here and there.
Not only did she put thought and care into the presentation, but she's taken care of other details as well. There will be FREE shipping in the US and a flat $10 International shipping charge. Yes, I said INTERNATIONAL!
Plus $5 of every set sold goes to a charity called Women to Women, a charity that helps women in war torn countries!

Included in the package are: a homemade hand scrub, lilac scented oil spray,
glitter removal wipes, and rose scented wax melts. |

Did you notice that my set is numbered and personalized? Awesome!
Cute little jewel tops.
The only regret I have right now is that all the spring cleaning I've been doing has played havoc on my cuticles, but please don't let that distract you from the polishes. I promise Aleta had nothing to do with the sad, sorry shape of my cuticles. *grin*
Remember these are all matte polishes but I will show both matte and gloss. They all have a subtle shimmer that really makes them stand out.
With every order, you get a bottle of Matte Finish Top Coat. The top coat is NOT needed to make these polishes matte because they already are, but with the matte top coat, you get that extra layer of protection missing from most matte polishes. Sah-weet!

So let's get started!
First up is Matte Daffodil - a gorgeous daffodil yellow. I've always loved yellow, but it hasn't always loved me. I think this one is bright enough I could get away with it though!

Lovely presentation, she obviously puts a lot of thought into her product. I will definitely keep an eye out for future collections, as matte and pastels are not for me.
