More on Nail Polish

This has started to become a bit of an obsession! It took some time to learn how to color the nail polish, with a few failures.. but pretty sure I understand the process now.


This is my first picture worthy polish and it was named Sugar Cookies. Silver, red and green holographic glitters, sprinkled with white hex and bars, this polish went on so well when we tested it with 3 different nail polishes as undies:





This is over an essie nail polish - don't shoot me - I'll edit this part and insert the nail polish name later. My photography isn't that great and this was taken with my Android phone....
 This is Sugar Cookies over Sally Hansen's Mint Sorbet. These are the best shots BY FAR! Still cannot capture the sparkle but the base color is awesome. I'm going to make another polish with this color as the base :)






This is Sugar Cookies over a dark midnight blue base. The dark base polish is discontinued but I thought it would be good to show how it glimmers even on a dark colour.

Would LOVE to hear what you think of this polish. Next week I shall show you another!
Oh yes! almost forgot! If you would like to try this polish, I'm offering it for free with any online purchase from our shop of $25+ until Dec 24. Our website is http://www.sogasoap.com

Mani-SoGa

Oh! I'm so clever huh? It's a play on Manitoba, where SoGa Soap & CupFakery, is based. You're probably groaning out loud just about now, dear readers :)

The reason that I've come up with this (maybe not) so clever name is that we're starting to make our own polishes! This is a project that I've had in my mind for a few months now, but to bring it into fruition took some time.

It's not easy to get a good suspension base. I want not only to colour, but I want to be able to suspend glitter in it. AND have it as eco-friendly as possible. Therefore ALL ManiSoGa polishes are 3-free, meaning they contain no toluene, dibutyl phthalate or formaldehyde. Our polishes will have the Health Canada approval.

I can't wait to show you some Christmas polishes! If you're an avid nail blogger I'd love to send you some to swatch and help me develop this new brand! Just inbox me!
