Alanna Renee International Stockists!


As most of you know I've started my own indie polish brand - Alanna Renee. I have some good news for my international readers! Alanna Renee polishes will soon be available from Shoppe Eclecticco in Singapore and Color4Nails in the US. Both stores provide international shipping. Keep an eye on each store's facebook page for launch dates. I'll probably announce it on the Alanna Renee facebook page too. The pricing has not yet been confirmed.

I'll be quite busy preparing these orders so my blog posts will probably be a little light until they've been sent off. Thanks for your patience!

Artsy Wednesday - Colour Blocking

               NAIL ART INFO 
Polish Used:
Ulta3 - Lily White
Ulta3 - Atomic Oj
Ulta3 - Purple Pumps
China Glaze - Frostbite

Tools Needed:
Tape
Nail Art Brush













I used a nail art brush to apply Frostbite to the tips of my nails and finished with a coat of Seche Vite top coat.

My poor broken nail has grown out just enough so that I could file them to the same length. It's been three weeks since I broke it. This post shows how short it was when I broke it if you're interested to see how much it's grown. I've only got one more swatch photo saved up from before the break and then I'll be sticking to nail art until it grows out a little more.

January Haul

I've been trying to post this for a few days but my internet connection at home has been terrible! I've only got a small haul for January, I've been trying to save money.

These River Way polishes were a gift from my best friend Mardi. She found them in Vanutatu. They don't have names but they are numbered. The blue its #375 and the pink is #321.

Shades of Phoenix is an Aussie indie brand that launched recently and I picked up Hades and Poseidon.

The Aussie Nails Facebook group did an Enchanted Polish group buy and I purchased Hot Chocolate, Bonjour Paris and Ballerina Sprinkles.
