June Polish Pickup 2020: Cocktails and Mocktails

*Press Sample

Hello lovelies! Last month my trusty DSLR I've been using all these years went kaput and I've been in camera limbo. Some of these photos were taken beforehand, some with my phone, and the last swatch was taken with my new camera that I'm just beginning to learn how to use. The KBShimmer shade was the one I was photographing when my camera died. So if you buy that shade, beware of photographing it ;). Okay, let's get to the photos because Polish Pickup starts tomorrow and ends Monday!

Polish Pickup February 2019: Famous Duos

*press sample

Helllllo! I was hoping to get this post up yesterday but my morning was spent getting pictures taken of my crazy cute baby, and then the rest of the day I had an awful headache. So I am doing my best to focus before another one hits. February's Polish Pickup has a most interesting theme this month, "Famous Duos". It's interesting because it can be interpreting in a number of ways. A maker can choose a famous duo and represent it in one polish. Or they can make two polishes, one for each of the pair, and offer one at the PPU website and one at their own. OR they can team up with another maker and tackle the duo together. Clear as mud? Good! Let's get to it..

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!
