NEW Spellbound Nails Charity Triplet

Hello lovelies!! Good morning, good evening, or good night ... wherever you might be. :) I have some new polishes that released yesterday on spellboundnails.com.

As you can see these are charity polishes! $2 of every bottle sold will be donated to the Chicago English Bulldog Rescue. Buy a bottle and $2 will be donated, buy a duo and $4 will be donated, buy the full trio and $6 will be donated!!

I was contacted about donating some polishes to their upcoming silent auction happening during this year's Bully Bash ... animal lover that I am, I took it 10 steps further and donated a few of my best selling polishes and custom created these beauties.

Since they are the Chicago English Bulldog Rescue it was mentioned that a Chicago Bears inspired polish might be a good fit. So I created the Bear Down Duo. You can buy these polishes individually as well, and each charity polish will come with a custom created vinyl bulldog in place of my usual holographic heart stickers (while supplies last). ;)

This is #1 Fan. It's a navy blue creme with a gorgeous blue shimmer.

This is the other half of the Bear Down Duo. Da Bears is a matte orange and white glitter topper.

And last but not least is Bully For You. This is such a fun color! When asked about creating a bulldog inspired polish Jody immediately said neon green because it's wild and wacky like the bulldogs. I took that idea and ran with it! Bully For You is a lime green jelly with a red/fuchsia shimmer and chunky iridescent flakies. Wild, wacky, and fun. It looks great alone or can be layered for even more fun. I especially love how it looks layered over black.

To see these polishes in action and read the review, head on over to Over the Top Coat.

Info on the Chicago English Bulldog Rescue and the upcoming Bully Bash:

The Chicago English Bulldog Rescue (CEBR for short) has been helping bulldogs and their families for almost 8 years. They are 75 volunteers strong and have rehomed over 600 amazing bullies. And because of the downturn in the economy over the last few years, an unprecedented number of bullies are being surrendered. Thankfully, due to their large number of volunteers they have risen up and become a hopeful beacon for many dogs in need! But they can't do it alone. On average, it takes about $900 to get just one bulldog ready for adoption so any amount, whether small or large, means everything to these dogs. It helps feed them, find them homes, give them life saving surgery. It's a cause very near and dear to my heart.

The Bully Bash happens Saturday October 4th at 11:00am - 6:00 pm so mark your calendars! If you're not in the area, CEBR said no problem this year! You don't have to attend the Bully Bash to bid on silent auction items. You'll be able to see a full catalog of items available in advance and bid against attendees during the Bash online. https://www.biddingforgood.com/auction/AuctionHome.action?vhost=cebr

May Charity Polish

Hello all! Another month and another charity polish is making its debut in my Etsy and Storenvy shops.

This is Today for Tomorrow, done in the colors fun and playful colors of The Tomorrow Fund. It has a creamy white base filled with hexes of red, green, yellow, and blue as well as yellow dots and what children's polish would be complete without some adorable Mickey shaped glitter??

I have developed an insane love of taking bottle shots like this with the cap off and laying in the photo.

The Tomorrow Fund is the only non-profit organization that provides daily financial and emotional support to children with cancer and their families who are treated at Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island.

As always $2 of every bottle sold (both full size and mini) will be donated to the charity the first of the next month. In this case, a donation will be made to The Tomorrow Fund June 1st. Keep an eye on my Facebook Page for a screenshot of the donation to see how much money we raised!!

For those waiting on the screenshot for April's charity a donation will be made later today and a screenshot posted immediately after. :)

April Charity Polish

The April Charity Polish is now available at spellboundnails.com in both full size and mini bottles!!

Racing Into Our Hearts is a butterscotch colored holographic polish with midnight flakies inspired by the stunning beauty of the brindle greyhounds. A portion of every sale will be donated to Allies for Greyhounds in honor of April being National Greyhound Adoption Month.

*I apologize but my nails are in such bad shape right now! Not even my faithful Biotin can stop them from breaking so these pictures were taken while wearing fake nails. That said, I'm not all together displeased with them ... a little better sizing and some more shaping and you might be seeing fakes on me more often. They certainly make fore some pretty pictures. :)
