It wouldn't be #worldveganmonth without mentioning my girl, Miss TT. Well, Leticia is probably how you know her but yeah...

Once i started my channel and started documenting my vegan/cruelty free journey, Leticia was one of the first people i remember just being super supportive, friendly and an all-round fun person to follow online.

It wasn't until a little later that i realized she is hilarious to boot. You really need to follow her on snapchat (Snapbacksnticia)! One day we will hang out and i believe it will be an epic adventure.

















Her youtube not only covers cruelty free and vegan makeup but she does the cutest DIY projects and even compounds my newfound planner addiction with her adorable "plan with me" videos. I always learn about tons of new, smaller brands from Leti's youtube and instagram and she posts yummy vegan foods to her snapchat also!

She also recently got a new Instagram account so be sure to check that out and give her some love... tell her Rhi Rhi sent you.

Today i'm bringing you 5 awesome vegan nail polish brands to treat yourself to a little guilt-free #manimonday


OCC - $10
I recently mentioned them in my OCC video so i won't go into too much detail here but they have awesome shades, great formula and a wonderful finish! One of my personal favorites from OCC is Pleasure Model! Its much more pink and pale than this photo from their website but you can see photos of my collection here.














NCLA - $16- $18
Not only do NCLA have awesome polishes, they have some incredible nail wraps too! I know Tashina of Logical Harmony has used them a lot so i'll link to her posts on them here. They're 5-free and have awesome brushes for a smooth application.



















Pacifica - $9-$14
Pacifica do have awesome shades but my favorite is their Rainbow Gloss top coat that is beautiful alone or on top of other pastel shades for a holographic effect. They're 7 free and super easy to apply.




















AKay Style - $12
I've mentioned some of these awesome colors before but thought it was worth adding them to this list. AKay Style have awesome colors, super cute packaging with a little poem to go along with each and a super easy application! 4-free and hard-wearing!














Palate Polish - $10
Nail polishes named after foods? Genius! Palate polish are 5-free and are made in small batches. The consistency is fairly thin but still opaque. I think these are awesome gift ideas especially for foodie-friends. You can find a few of my swatches and past review here.


For a (slightly belated) fashion friday, i wanted to introduce you to Bambi & Tramp. The vegan shoe-lovers dream created by Miss Elle Howard.























As they are still fairly new, they have just 11 styles to choose from but i'm sure that will grow rapidly! They are an Australian based company but ship worldwide excluding Nicaragua, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria and Sudan. You can read more about their shipping info here, although their shipping may not be favorable to most outside of Australia, i do know i have some Australian readers so wanted to share about them any way!

Blue Labelle were one of the brands you guys mentioned on my Instagram when i mentioned what i had planned for #worldveganmonth so i had to give them a go! Hand blended in beautiful Isle Of Wight, i knew these would be something special.


Not only were Blue Labelle generous enough to send me product to try but they also sent one of their beautifully soft, organic hemp cloths to try. Used along with their Petitgrain and Tamanu Cleansing Oil and Moringa and Raspberry Seed Facial Oil, it turned out to be all i needed for makeup removal and toned, nourished skin.

With several blend options to choose from, their oils should suit most skin concerns (find out more about their ingredients here). After explaining my skin type and issues to them, they recommended the two shown above.

Cleansing Oil
This was beautifully suited to my combo/oily skin, the Petitgrain works as a mild astringent that also balances and the Tamanu helps promote clearer skin. With loads of other clarifying, nourishing ingredients, this is the perfect oil for anyone with troublesome skin who's been nervous of oil cleansing.

In short, oil cleansing is an awesome way of removing makeup and cleansing the skin with only an oil. I massage a few drops into dry skin, concentrating on areas with the most makeup, until the makeup is emulsified and smeared around your face. Then use a hot, damp wash cloth to wipe the oil away, rinsing the cloth in between each time until all of the oil and makeup has been removed.


Facial Oil
Their facial oil is the perfect accompaniment to the cleansing oil and with just a few drops, my skin felt nourished and quenched without any residue. This blend in particular is awesome for anyone who struggles with oily skin and anti-aging and finds it hard to balance both.

Applying facial oil is very easy and you need only 1 or 2 pumps for the entire face. Rubbing it between your hands to warm up the oil makes it sink in to the skin quickly and means you don't have to rub the skin of your face.


Hemp Cloth
Soft, strong and eco-friendly... its the ultimate washcloth. Soaked in a little warm/hot water prior to use and it becomes so soft and perfect for the face with just enough texture to lightly exfoliate.

Just wash after every few uses with a gentle detergent and hang dry!



Their website ships worldwide or you can find individual products via Rodales if you're in the US!
