Today's post is a special one. It hits close to home and I'm thrilled to be able to bring these swatches to you today. 

Colors by Llarowe made this special shade for a man named Edward Ashbury. Ed is known to be a hard working man whose life goal was to take care of his family. He never asked anyone for anything and didn't need the luxuries in life as long as he could provide for those he loved. Sadly he was forced into early retirement when he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon and liver cancer. The family has also been taking care of their mother whose had chronic health issues for 10 years. Now they have the added stress of losing their home, Ed's dream is to live out his life there and to have the same for his dear wife. 

LeahAnn came up with some prototypes and Ed himself picked this shade! He admited knowing nothing about polish but said this one was beautiful! Next she gave the polish the name sake of Fast Eddie which is Ed's radio handle, he's a trucker and that's what he goes by. 

So how this families story hits close to home, Ed is a trucker... like my husband, who would also do anything for me. He's my rock. Secondly we just recently lost an uncle to colon cancer that spread to several organs. I couldn't wait to help spread the word for this fundraiser in hopes of raising some money for the Ashbury family. And now onto the polish! 

Fast Eddie 

 

Fast Eddie is a blue to green shifting holo with purple and blue shimmer.  The colors for liver and colon cancer.

I added a little double stamping to this beauty.

I can't help but love a pretty polish with a cause. Smile, spread the word and help a family in need. The proceeds will be helping this family keep their home. I hope you love Fast Eddie and pick up a bottle or two, the holidays are coming and this would also make a lovely gift!

Fast Eddie will be launching on October 29th 12pm MDT and retail for $12 usd.
