Peacock Pie - Custom Pendant + Extra Goodies!

Hi guys!!! Happy Halloween! By far the most fun day of the year in my opinion - even if we don't celebrate it much in New Zealand, its still Halloween at my house!

A couple of week ago I asked Serra from Peacock Pie if she would be able to paint me a bat pendant - I said I wanted 3 bats, one for each of my kiddies lol. When she asked me why my kids are bats, I have to admit - I didn't know how to answer, but I came up with 'Because they're awesome... and noctornal'. Anyway! Look what I received!

*squeal* I love it so much! And how adorable is the little peacock charm? Its even better than I had pictured. I left it up to Serra to come up with the backing polish - I gave her the guidline of 'purple' lol, and I think she did a fantastic job. This is Nostalgic Lacquer 'Rayanne'. And as if that wasn't enough, today I received this in the mail:

"What magic is this?" you ask? Why thats a bat RING to match my bat pendant! I am overcome with happiness, Serra is so lovely and talented! What a lovely Halloween pressie :)

Oh, and look at my special extra! This is a pendant painted with Emily de Molly 'Dark Forces' - I think this looks amazing, I sat there and stared at it for a while when I first got it lol.

If you would like to see what else Serra has available, or order your own custom pendant you can visit her on Etsy here, or follow Peacock Pie on facebook here. All pendants are handpainted in New Zealand using only cruelty free polishes, and her prices are amazing - starting at only $9 NZD + post.

Hope you have enjoyed this post, and have a fantastic halloween!!!

'Peacock Pie' Nail Polish Jewellery - Pics & Review

I have something very special to share today - Nail Polish Jewellery handmade in New Zealand by the gorgeous Serra of Peacock Pie! Imagine how excited I was to receive this in the mail:

Serra used Emily de Molly 'Cosmic Forces' in my pendant, and I am in love. The necklace is extremely well made, you can really see the love she puts into each piece. Its a fantastic way to appreciate those indie nail polishes - it never chips, and I never have to remove it :) Also it sparkles away brilliantly in the sun! I am so proud to wear it, I've had it on every day since I received it and gotten a bunch of compliments!

Serra has recently opened her shop on Etsy and the prices are amazing, ranging from NZD $9 to $13 depending on the polish and detail in the piece. She paints some gorgeous designs and is happy to take custom requests - Serra is a lovely person and will work with you to get the piece just right. I highly recommend you check her store out - I'm already planning a few more ... a bat design, a butterfly for my mother, a nightsong grotto piece... ahh the possibilities!!! Shipping is available worldwide and the jewellery comes beautifully packaged with a chain and in a box. :) Head on over and take a look at all of her stunning work! Peacock Pie is also on Facebook.

Emily de Molly 'Cosmic Forces' - Swatches & Review

What would a nail blog be without the mandatory Cosmic Forces post??  This seriously must be one of the most popular indie polishes out there, making it a bit of a pain to get hold of. :-/

Ahhh, love it :P  A definite must-have for any circle glitter lovers!  The pics show 3 coats of Cosmic Forces with 1 coat of top coat.  Formula is good, however you do have to fish a bit for the larger glitters.

Cosmic Forces is a dark purple jelly polish, filled with Lavender holo dots and hex and pink dots glitter. The holographic circles in the jelly base give the polish really good depth - definitely one of those polishes that you put on and then spend the rest of the day staring at your hands.  

Emily de Molly has followed this up with a blue version (Oceanic Forces) and a black version (Dark Forces). These polishes are available to Australians through Emily de Molly's etsy store, or Femme Fatale Cosmetics. Internationals can stalk Mei Mei's Signatures and Llarowe for restocks.
