*press sample

Hello my Society Sisters! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! My family and I have been enjoying our time together, especially now that we're all over our colds. For this end of the year post I have five polishes from the upcoming January Polish Pickup. The Polish Pickup is a four-day event each month where dozens of indie nail polish brands create limited edition polishes inspired by the chosen theme. In addition to polishes there is now the "Indie Pickup" on the same website which offers cosmetics, hand & nail care, jewelry, etc, during the same dates. Let's take a look..

Hello! Are you all ready for Christmas? I sure hope I am because I really need to rest and get healthy so I can enjoy the holiday! Oh and if I could catch up on my blog posts, that would be great too. I have the Colores de Carol Winter Quad for you, consisting of four tri-thermal shades with ultra chameleon chrome flakes and aurora shimmer. These were my first tri-thermals I've even tried and was impressed by how distinctive each shade was in transition. The formulas were consistently smooth and easy to apply too. Let's take a look..

Polish Pickup September 2018: "Horror Movies"

 *press sample

Hello friends! I have some beautiful limited edition polishes for the September Polish Pickup "Horror Movies" theme. It's been years since I've watched a horror movie. I used to enjoy them (somewhat) but finally got to a point where I found no pleasure in being deeply disturbed. I love me a good thriller (think Hitchcock), but introduce anything demonic and I'm done. There are only five polishes in this post but it's a longer one because of two thermal polishes and a little nail art at the end!
