The theme this month for
Polish Pickup is Flora and Fauna! Launch is Feb 7 at 10am Central through Feb 10, 11pm Central. A heap of fantastic brands have offerings this month, and I have some of them to share with you!
1850 Sedum
a thermal that transitions from softest pale green to a blue-green that has a blue multichrome effect on the edges. It sparkles with scattered holographic microflakes and also has multichrome flakes that shift from emerald green to gold, rose gold, and pink.
Cap: 150
No topcoat used, as this has a semi-gloss/satin type finish that I wanted to show.
Blush By The Light Of The Moon
An aqua to blue-violet to bright purple shifting multi-chrome nail polish with hints of red and gold at the far edges and packed full of sparkling holographic microflakes.
No cap
kbshimmer Let It Beetle
Inspired by the multichromatic Cetonia aurata beetle.
Starting with a bright gold shimmer, this sparkly shade quickly shifts to a bold green. Hues of blue and aqua dance on the edges and in some lighting, the gold gives you subtle hints of soft pink. This shade is best in 2 coats or 1 coat over a darker cream.
kbshimmer Freesia Sugar Scrub
starts with that distinctly bright and floral freesia note followed with hints of Muguet (Lily of the Valley) and white musk that deepen the tone. The scrub is a crisp white with pink and purple swirls. Bring a little springtime into your atmosphere!
Lollipop The Final Sacrifice
A blue-leaning green base (although not quite teal) filled with multichrome and Aurora shimmer that shifts red/gold/green and linear holographic pigment.
Inspired by Florence and the Machine's "Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)", and the cover art for the album 'Lungs'.
300 bottle cap.
"I must become a lion hearted girl
Ready for a fight
Before I make the final sacrifice"
-Florence and the Machine, 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)'
Lollipop This Is A Gift
a flakie topper filled with iridescent flakes that shift between green, blue, and purple, and holographic microflakes.
Inspired by the "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" music video from Florence and the Machine
no cap
"This is a gift, it comes with a price.
Who is the lamb and who is the knife?
Midas is king and he holds me so tight,
And turns me to gold in the sunlight."
~Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up), Florence and the Machine
Shown in one coat over The Final Sacrifice
Turtle Tootsie Brain Coral
A linear holo lilac jelly loaded with blue/purple ucc flakies and pink/aqua shimmers.
cap 200/us and 20/uk
Such beautiful polishes and delicious smelling scrub! Let's give it up for these brands, shall we?
Each polish is shown in two coats with glossy topcoat except where noted. Formula for each was good, as I typically find with indie polishes.
