Hey hey hey! I don't swatch many Polish Pickup polishes anymore but I still wanted to share these with you this month!

I hope the photos speak for their selves! Let's take a look at what I have..

Different Dimension Alt. Collection
Hello lovelies! Did you check out my post from earlier today? Well both these collections from Different Dimension are releasing on the same day the I can't even pick which one I like better. There are too many gorgeous shades to choose from! Although this 'alt.' collection is making me feel some kind of way, bringing back memories from the good ol' nineties. Once again the formulas are great as I tend to expect from DD. Let's take a look..

Painted Polish Ghosted Trio + Mystery Polish
Hello lovelies! How's October treating you? We've had beautiful weather and I've just been soaking it all up. It's still up in the air of how we'll be celebrating Halloween with our four kids. Not celebrating is simply not an option! Speaking of Halloween, I have a trio of polishes from Painted Polish perfect for this time of year! All of the formulas were easy to work with and the jellies might need an extra coat if you don't want visible nail line. Let's take a look at the Ghosted Trio..

Hello lovelies! Painted Polish is kicking off the Autumn season with two gorgeous new collections! First is the Rise & Grind Quartet which consists of four neutral polishes filled with holo microglitters.

The second is the Pumpkin Spice & Chill Trio, consisting of two tawny orange shade with different elements and a gold holo glitter topper. The formulas were all easy to work with except for the glitter topper which takes a little more finessing. Let's take a look..

ORLY Desert Muse Fall 2020
Hello lovelies! My kids have been back in school for a couple weeks now (!!!) and it feels so good to be back on a schedule again! I have been getting a lot accomplished around that house. Maybe I'll get more blogging done too? My two year old is still an absolute terror though, so I'm not counting on it.
ORLY has released a Fall collection that consists of six cremes. The formulas were all perfectly smooth and easy to work with. I recommend this whole collection if the color story is up your alley. Let's look at the swatches..
