Nail Mail February Polish Pickup- Sweets and Treats

The February theme for Polish Pickup was Sweets and Treats. I don't know how I did it, but somehow I kept it to 2 bottles and a lip balm.

If you haven't checked out Polish Pickup yet, let me enable you. It's a TON of indie makers who make polishes and other things (wax, lip balm, etc.) around a single theme each month (like February was Sweets and Treats).  The online shop is open the first weekend of every month, from Friday at 11 am EST to some time the following Monday. Then they're gone forever. And even better, shipping is only $3- even if you make multiple orders (the shipping is charged on the subsequent orders, but then refunded as they start shipping orders out).

I have gotten to try new brands, and fall in love with new polishes!


Look how beautiful!

First, the lip balm from Contrary. You can't tell from this picture, but it's a berry tint, and tastes like Gummy Bears!!!  The color is gorgeous, deep but sheer, and it tastes so good!  The Supernatural Lacquer on the right is called Dark Hearts, after the Cadbury dark hearts. I love Supernatural polishes, and she does purples sooooo well!

And the Girly Bits!!!! OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!! This was called "I Licked it, so it's Mine," based on Unicorn Bark, which looks like one piece would rot your teeth right out of your head, lol. But even if it weren't an amazingly gorgeous polish, I almost had to have it because of the name!

My dilemma with this order is that I IMMEDIATELY wanted to put on the Girly Bits polish and never, ever take it off. However, my rule for last year and this year is to wear all untried polish. And I think this would be the perfect polish for my vacation in July, because it's gorgeous, and being a glitter would probably wear really really well. So I'm trying to hold out to wear it in a few months, and believe me, you'll see it!!

Also, spoiler alert, I went crazy for Polish Pickup in March, so there's that....lol.

Polish Pickup November 2017- Fandoms!

Here is my Polish Pickup haul from November 2017. I got 3 polishes and 3 sets of lip balms (I only show one set in my picture).

This was a fun month- though I ended up buying polishes for the color, not for the fandoms I like.  I got....

L-r Harry Potter lip balms (Lemon Drops, Chocolate Frog and Butterscotch Beer), Contrary Polish The Juice Fiend, Lollipop Posse Spirit of the Kohaku River, and Baroness X Menage a Trois.

The fandom for the lip balms is obviously Harry Potter, the one for Contrary Polish was Arrested Development, Lollipop Posse's fandom was Spirited Away, and Baroness X is Star Trek.  And can you see the charm? Inspired by Harry Potter Sign of the Deathly Hallows. The first 100 get a charm free.

I have never seen Arrested Development or Spirited Away, and I have seen Star Trek, but I'm definitely not a Trekkie!

Here is the trailer for Spirited Away- apparently this is the most successful film in Japanese history, and won an Oscar for best animated film.

They had a Sherlock fandom polish (and I am a total Cumberbitch) but it wasn't unique enough. I like Spongebob, but didn't love the polish inspired by it. I really wanted to buy polish that was unique and that I loved.

Polish Pickup is so fun- both Contrary Polish and Baroness X are new brands for me, and I'm excited to try them!

Live your life with love in your hearts and glitter on your nails!
