October's here! Where did September go? Honestly, it was here and gone like *that*. If you weren't aware, October is Adopt a Shelter Dog month! In honor of this, Alison of Aliquid Lacquer made a special polish to raise money for the ASPCA.
For a beautiful polish and more information on this great cause, keep on reading...
From Alison:
"You might know that the lovely lady on our polish labels is Trudy, our
five-year-old rescue pit bull mix. Trudy is such an irreplaceable part of our
lives that we can barely remember life before her! In honor of Adopt a Shelter
Dog Month, we decided to give back by creating a limited edition charity polish
that will be available through October only! Keep reading for details and to
learn why this cause is so important!"

The iridescent shifting flakes in this polish are beautiful. It was so hard to capture how they look in real life. As you can see, they're packed in there.
With three thin coats, this polish built up nicely and didn't give me any problems with application.
About 3.9 million dogs enter U.S. shelters every year, and 1.2 million dogs are
euthanized (800,000 of them pit
bulls). Adopt a Shelter Dog Month seeks to call attention to the plight of
these animals and to encourage people to adopt dogs rather than going to a
breeder. No matter your preferences, you're bound to find a rescue dog that fits
perfectly into your home! Click here to read all about pet adoption, and click here to learn more
about pit bulls!
The vision of the ASPCA is "a
humane community in which all animals are treated with respect and kindness."
Donations to the ASPCA support a variety of causes, including:
-Spay/neuter and microchipping -programs
-Adoption, fostering and relocation programs
-Investigation and seizure of abused animals
-Lobbying for anti-cruelty legislation
Puppy Love retails for $11 (full size bottles only). We will donate $5 from each purchase to the ASPCA! We're aiming to collect $250, but we can only do it with your help!
Aliquid Lacquer can be purchased in the shop.
Beautiful polish!
ReplyDeleteGreat polish for a great cause! (how many times can I say great in one sentence? i greatly appreciate this great post about a great polish on a great blog. and that, ladies and gentleman, is why you do NOT have two espressos within a short period of time).
ReplyDeleteI greatly enjoyed that great comment!
ReplyDeleteYou should see the shimmer in person!
ReplyDeleteI feel like I need this polish solely because it was made for a great cause. I love my rescue dogs, both past and present. It doesn't hurt that this color is super pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy little dude wasn't a rescue, but he rescued me. I need him in my life. I would love to adopt a rescue sometime in the future. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour and great cause!!
