New Items- Many Holo Glitters

I know I've been telling some of you for more than a week now that there would be new stuff in the shop. After many attempts to edit pics I finally got it done! There are several new items, including holographic stars in a few colors and some holo black hearts. The hearts are seriously adorable!

Many matte glitters that were out of stock for a long time are finally back in including the extra large pink and blue squares.

I still have quite a few more items to photo, edit and list. I'll be doing it slowly whenever possible during the week and next weekend.

Lots of New Glitters and Some Old Ones Back

I have a bunch of new things that came in over the weekend including some more neons and dots!

Also, the white squares 0.062 and the holo blue hexes 0.094 are back again!

I'll try to wirte a more thorough post at the end of the week about other things that will be happening in the shop :-).

Bottles

So at the moment I carry one style of glass bottles-they're rectangular and have brushes for nail art. I'm going to expand the types of bottles I have and am hoping on adding these three styles in the coming weeks:

They're going to come with nice wide brushes for larger coverage in one swipe. The caps that will come with these are going to be black. I'll also sell some of the brushes seperately for anyone who would like a wider brush for their bottles. I suggest when I begin to offer them that you request a sample brush first to make sure they fit your cap as diffeent caps have different interior threading. You'll only have to cover the shipping costs.

New Neons

I finally got the new neons up! They include the following:

-green hex 0.094"
-blue hex 0.062"
-pink hex 0.040"
-pink hex 0.094"

The pink 0.040" is the same shade as the neon hearts that I currently have. The new large neon pink though is so fabulous! I haven't noticed any bleeding in it and so am planning on getting a variety of shapes and sizes in that tone!

This is the pretty, pretty neon blue.

 

Oh and the stars are coming in tomorrow! Yay!

And neon purple-I'm currently out of it, but am working on a list to reorder. It's a nice color and I'm hoping to order it in many different shapes and sizes. Hopefully you'll see all of the neon purples in early march-I'll keep you all posted :-).

Fairytale and other mixes

I put up a few new mixes...6 if memory serves me correctly. A couple have neons, and my favorite of all of them is a pretty one called fairytale. It's so cute and delicate, filled with sparkling iridescent glitters and beautiful pink hexes. I almost didn't put it in the shop because I love it so much and wanted to make a polish (maybe white?) but I figured hey I'll just do both.

Fairytale

 

Another one is called Prom Queen and it has some beautiful neons. This particular mix will bleed though (the purple hexes and neon pink hearts to be exact) so I would suggest using it in a polish that wouldn't suffer from a tint, like possibly a purple or blue.

The other new mixes can be found in the glitter mix section of the shop:

This Weekend-New Items

Hi Ladies! I'm hoping to get get new stuff up this weekend in the shop. I have a lot of things sitting on the shelf that I haven't yet had time to photograph and inventory, etc. But what should be expected in the coming days? I'm making a little list below, sort of a way to keep myself accountable ! :-)

-Neon Purple glitter
-A few small metallic glitters
-velvet nail powder in several different colors
-tiny little beads to do caviar manicures
-an accessories kit for mixing your polishes, it will include a palette for swatches yay!
-more glitter mixes
-squeeze bottles

and....
suspension base! Yay! But sadly this will only be available for the 48 continental states, I know it's a bummer.

well I'm going to do my best to make sure it all goes up this February weekend.

Pinterest Board

Whenever I get the chance to get on Pinterest I love to pin on my nail art board. You guys can check it out here for fabulous manicures, nail art and polishes:

Neon Purple Glitter

I got in some neon purple glitter this week! It's not up in the shop yet as I'm seeing how it holds up in polish. I've had it in the suspension base I'll be carrying for a few days now. It's bleeding a bit, but it hasn't bled anymore than it did on the first day. It hasn't curled though so that's a plus. I'll make it available probably in another week or so if I don't see any curling for anyone who'd like to have it. So if you don't like bleeders this glitter won't work for you, but if you're able to use them to your advantage then it's definitely a pretty glitter.

I've also ordered some more neon samples from a new manufacturer, so I'll see how those work out, If they're fabulous I'll be ordering a lot to make available in the shop!

Suspension Base

A while ago I bought some suspension base for the shop. Over this weekend I finally found some time to break it open and give it a go. It's pretty nice and clear, easy moving and is suspending nicely so far. I made a quick little polish with the suspension base using a variety of different size glitters.

I'm going to start off offering this in smaller sizes: 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz. I'm also going to be offering sets of 2 oz with color pre-dispersed in them. I have to work out which colors I'm going to make though. They're won't be fully opaque, more to come on that. 

1 Year Anniversary

Hi gals! I'm nearing my 1 year shop anniversary on January 13th. It's been a great year and I've had a lot of fun and look forward to another wonderful year. As a thanks to all my wonderful customers I'm going to be having an anniversary sale on the 13th. What I'll do is post up a coupon code here and in the shop announcement. Most likely I'll get the code up this Saturday so check back for all the details.

Dreaded Postal Increases

Hi All. I just want to let you guys know that postal increases will be coming to the shop toward the end of this month.

What will this mean for US customers?
The shipping costs for orders that weigh 1-13 ounces will remain the same. Orders that weigh more than that will see a slight increase that is yet to be determined. While I currently offer free shipping on domestic orders of $75 or more at the end of the month this will changes to a flat fee that is yet to be determined.

What will this mean for International customers?
The shipping costs for lightweight items will see a significant increase. 1 ounce packages will increase to $7 USD and 2 ounce packages will increase to $7.25 USD. All other weights will cost more than that to ship. I'll be sure to give more details as we get closer to when the change occurs.

As always you can feel free to contact me about your order before purchasing in order to receive a better combined shipping rate.

Happy New Year!

Hi gals and guys! I'm moving the blog over here to blogspot with the intentions of providing a lot more content in the coming year. You can expect to find a plethora of things on the blog in the coming months including polish ideas, diy crafts, contests and of course promotions from time to time. I'm hoping to give you all a chance to give input as to which new glitters to stock as well as to feature various polishes and their makers. So stop by from time to time :-).

Speaking of promotions the first one I will be running in this new year will last for the month of January (possibly longer-we'll see). I often get questions about ordering samples and so I'd like to give everyone the opportunity to get 1 set of free samples to try out some of the different glitters I carry, the  only thing I'll ask you to cover is the shipping costs. You'll be able to pick 3 different samples from any of the glitters (including mixes) that I carry in the shop and will recieve 1/2 tbsp of each of your choices. The shipping cost for those in the US will be $2 and the shipping costs for those outside the US will be $3.50. Simply send me a convo in my etsy shop: www.boroughbabesupply.etsy.com or email me at boroughbabeandbaby@gmail.com. Be sure to let me know which samples you'd like as well as to provide me with the email address you use for your paypal account so that I can send you an invoice.

and happy new year everyone! Many well wishes!
