This year’s spring collection is a special one with much sentiment.  This is an 8 piece tribute collection dedicated to Helen, Leah Ann Larowe’s dear friend. And this is her tribute:

There are times in life that we find a person who inspires us.  Even though I have never met Helen as she lives an ocean away, she is my hero.  I always thought life was just a means to an end and that life was a painful journey with rich rewards at the end.  I was wrong.  Helen has shown me that I need to treasure each and every moment here on earth and to live as if tomorrow will never come.  Helen finds joy in the smallest moments and even in adversity.  She is and has been battling an illness with grace, dignity and a zest for life I have not seen before.  She reminds me that there are challenges in life that show us what is really important and how to meet those challenges head on and never give up.  My outlook on life has changed dramatically just from knowing this wonderful lady who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.  Thank God for you Helen, it is an honor to be called your friend.  This collection was inspired by your spirit, your heart and your wonderful soul.

A portion of the proceeds from this collection are being donated to Helen’s charity:  https://www.willowfoundation.org.uk/donate

“Helen” is a muted creamy turquoise crelly with intense pink to gold to red shimmer.  Shown is two coats plus top coat.

“Miss You My Friend” is a light sky blue intense linear holo with silver micro flakes.  Shown is two coats plus top coat.  This formula reminds me of a blue version of Together Forever.

“Life Is A Highway” is a magenta pink with scattered holo and magenta and purple iridescent micro glitter.  Shown is two coats plus top coat.  To me, this seems like Santa Baby’s pink sister.
