Emily de Molly celebrates 4 years!

On the 28th of May 2012, Emily de Molly sold its very first polish!
To think that I would still be making polish 4 years later, is not something I expected at all but I am so grateful that this is the way it turned out :)

To celebrate, I am releasing a very special trio of polishes. Whats so special about them you may ask?
Well basically, they are just colours that I adore and really wanted to release at some point in time but never could add them to the core line of colours for various reasons.

First up we having "Pending Perfection"
Pending Perfection is a light mint green creme with a very heavy red to gold duochrome shimmer throughout. 
It is similar to "Copper Patina" but is lighter, brighter and has more shimmer.

Pending Perfection is my ideal shimmer polish. I started formulating this one about a year ago but I could never get it just right! And then of course I started seeing similar colours being released so I put it on the back burner. But now its time ;)
The formula is still not as great as I would like, but it is as good as its going to get without compromising that gorgeous glow, hence the name! 
Don't get me wrong, the formula isn't bad, just not as good as usual :)

One of the ingredients in this polish appears to now be limited so at the moment this colour will not be a part of the core range and is limited to this release.

Next up is "Dark Citation"
Dark citation is a very dark blurple ( blue / purple ) jelly with a huge amount of colour shifting iridescent flakes that shift from orange through to green and blue. It also has a fine copper shimmer and copper coloured micro glitters.

I'm sure most of you are aware by now that the iridescent colour shifting flakes are my favourite finish, so of course one of my ideal polishes would have them included.

This particular colour was never released though because its a bit close to a polish released by one of my favourite brands. After a bit of tweaking though, I feel its different enough now to be released.

The colour shifting flakes I use have been discontinued by the manufacture, so unfortunately this is limited in numbers and will not become a part of the core range.

And lastly is "Brick by Brick"
Brick by Brick is a grey based crelly with gold to green to blue shifting shimmer.
Grey is a favourite colour of mine and I love this particular shimmer, so what better than both together?
Because of the shimmer in this one, the grey can lean a bit olive looking in some lights.

There is a possibility that this colour will be added to the core range as I have plenty of the ingredients for this one.

Thats it for the pictures, now on to the details.

*This will be a CAPPED presale starting on Saturday the 28th at 10am AEST until Thursday June the 2nd at 10am AEST
( Friday the 27th at 8pm EDT until Wednesday June the 1st at 8pm EDT)

*This will be available from both sites
www.emilydemolly.com.au - Australian sales
www.emilydemolly.com - International sales

*You can combine your order with other purchases from the store but your order will not ship until the presale items have arrived.

*This will be available as a trio at a slightly discounted price or individually.

*Australian orders will start to ship ASAP but international orders will not ship until the final figures are in. Once I have poured and packed them, they will be sent from Australia on to the warehouse in the US where they will be sent to you.
I imagine the warehouse will have the stock within 2 weeks time from the END of the presale date, and they will then ship within 48 hours to the customer.
Normal shipping timeframes will then apply.

*Group buys are welcome, please contact me via the contact form if you would like more information.
Approximate shipping costs from the US warehouse can be found here and quotes can be arranged if necessary.

*If there is any stock left over after the presale, it will be listed on the sites as normal.


I think thats everything!
