![]() And when supermarkets started to stock honeyed mango and green papaya, the parties got more and more elaborate. And when a friend discovered that they sold fresh pandan leaves in Chinatown, they threw everyone’s birthday parties. Imagine the exhilaration when my mum first found coriander (cilantro) in London they threw a carpet picnic of summer rolls and celebrated with full mic karaoke, volume 11. The beauty and deliciousness of their dishes mirror the compassion and affection that are often suppressed inside them. It's as if the plants in which they speak reflect the sweetness of life, the sourness it brings, the bitterness it embeds and the spiciness it embraces. They have been a sisterhood-a clan of women who support each other’s wellbeing, sing karaoke, jiggle a dance together, share food, endlessly discuss recipes and techniques and natter about herbs, fruits, and vegetables-since the early 1980s. All I know, I know by eavesdropping on their kitchen talk while they labored me on dumpling-folding duties and rolling spring rolls. My mum and her friends were the only Vietnamese people I knew growing up in London. Smell it, go on, smell it.’ Victorious, she would chant, ‘Ngon quá trời ngon!’ (So delicious, heavenly delicious.) ‘Shall I make a soup or shall I fry it with garlic?’ In the next triumphant breath, she pulls a green, almost yellowing mango out of her shopping bag and breathes it in. ‘I have found some,’ she would say in a more daring voice. ‘My neighbor told me that Chinese violets are in season,’ she would whisper, ‘they are really great for a good night’s sleep’, as if the secret violets would sell out, if she spoke any louder. The intonations of the Vietnamese language convey as much meaning, spirit, and emotion as the words, and so my mother’s excited yells also chirped about steaming purple sweet potatoes, and shrieked about fragrant, juicy limes in dipping sauces, as if every season presents her with a new surprise or a memory of a good thing coming back to life. Fruit and vegetables make her very excited and you can tell her level of happiness by the way she cooks, eats, and talks about food. Remove the cotton pad / tin foil, and the glitter should remove a little more easily.My mum sings when she talks about food. Place cotton pad or paper towels on the nail and secure in place with a square piece of tinĤ. Soak a cotton pad or paper towels with polish remover.Ģ. ♥ As we all know.All glitter polishes are difficult to remove, so I thought a few helpful tips would be useful:ġ. They are 5 free~~NO Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)~~NO Formaldehyde~~NO Toluene~~NO Camphor~~NO Formaldehyde Resin ♥ All of our polishes are custom- blended and they have loose cosmetic-grade glitters, micas and colorants. *if you want to order a mini bottle check out the separate mini listing ** Our bottle is the same shape and size as a Seche Vite bottle. ♥ This listing is for ONE FULL SIZE (0.5 oz. This polish and ALL of our NEON polishes Glow under UV BLACKLIGHTS.so get ready to stand out if you are at a bowling alley or a rave! lol (THEY DO NOT GLOW IN THE DARK!) Please apply a thick top coat to seal in the glitter and allow for a smooth finish! Happy Polishing!!! :0) ![]() The larger glitters tend to sink to the bottom due to their weight and size.so shake your bottle up and down and from side to side to stir up the mixture and fish for these larger pieces.IT IS WORTH IT!!!!! It has a smooth finish after applying 2 coats of a top coat or gelous. Just remember to shake your bottle upside down in-between every few nails and these glitters will disperse throughout the bottle and attach themselves to our new fantastic brush.This polish should be worn alone with 2 to 3 coats. This combo really packs a punch!.lol It goes on very creamy and looks gorgeous on! JFYI~~All of the glitters in our new neon colors are transparent glitters and are very thin so they like to cause trouble for some of us and they come out like a breeze with most of us! Please be prepared to use the "dab and place method" with all of our new neon glitter polishes. ![]() We have neon pink, neon green, neon blue, & neon purple scattered throughout this color combination. This polish has a great amount of bright neon colors scattered throughout it! We use hexes and short bar glitters of different sizes in this beauty. (the white base in this polish takes on a faint pink hue in the pictures here and in the bottle, but the base goes on the nail as white). NEW ♥ Chit Chat- is such a beautiful polish!! It has a milky white opaque base. ![]() Welcome to Polish Me Silly! We are a mother / daughter team who love to create polish! ![]()
