The theme this month for Polish Pickup is July Rewind, featuring fan favorites from previous months. The launch is July 3 at 10am Central through July 6, 11pm Central.
This month each brand has the option to bring back up to two polishes, one is featured in the Polish Pick Up webstore and the other is featured in the brand's webstore. My blog review here includes those that I have swatched previously.
Blush Ride The Wave (sold @PPU)
A light aqua base loaded with holo flakes and a strong pink shimmer that shifts to orange (and gold and green at extreme angles).
Cap:150
Shown in two coats with topcoat, formula was good.
Blush Life Finds A Way (sold at Blush's site 7/4)
A murky, deep muddy brown base with a shifting microflake shimmer of green-teal-blue and purple at the far edges and extreme angles.
Cap:150
Shown in two coats with topcoat, formula was good.
Blush is offering free USA shipping and discounted shipping outside the USA, for any order placed at their own site between July 4th at 7pm ET until July 31st 11:59pm ET.
Kathleen & Co. Winter's Dusk (sold at Kathleen & Co 7/7)
A light indigo purple base loaded with two different types of aurora shifting pigment. Shifts from shades of pink, orange, gold, green and sometimes aqua at varied angles and lighting.
Inspired by sunlight hitting the snow right at dusk.
Cap:TBD
When I received this polish it reminded me of an oil painting my late mom created of a countryside blanketed in snow, scattered with bare trees, with a beautiful sunset on the horizon.
Shown in two coats with topcoat, formula was good.
KBShimmer Sol What? (sold @ PPU)
A soft purple jelly base accented by color shifting flakes that shift from orange to gold and green. Micro holographic flakes reflect throughout.
The polish is inspired by the artwork based on the Norse story of Sól and Mani.
No Cap
Shown in two coats on its own. What a stunning polish! The formula is smooth for as many sparkly things as are in it!
KBShimmer I Need Space (sold @ KBShimmer 7/4)
Inspired by stunning photos of our galaxy from earth.
The polish starts as a silver slate. When you apply a magnet, a bright silver line accents a blackened-navy background. Micro and small holo glitters sparkle like the night sky with tiny, shifty blue flakes.
No Cap
I used a bar magnet for the diagonal line. Application was smooth and easy to apply.
KBShimmer Pomegranate Scrub
Inspired by the Greek mythology story of Hades and Persephone.
The pomegranate scrub features a hint of musk, with tropical notes of pineapple and guava for a bold pomegranate scent.
When I opened the jar, I saw swirls of pinks, reds and white and when I sniffed, I smelled the most creamy smelling pomegranate blend I've ever smelled. It's dreamy, even if you're not fond of pomegranate. The guava note really rounds it out and softens the pom. I promise, this is not sharp or tart at all - it's creamy and fruity and just delicious smelling!
Lollipop Posse A Distinct Aura of Dottiness (sold @ PPU)
Inspired by Luna Lovegood and her nargles! (They're real, we swear!)
A Distinct Aura of Dottiness 2.0 is a soft, sky blue crelly filled with Aurora shimmer that shifts between red, gold, and green, holographic microflakes, and iridescent flakes that shift between varying shades of green and blue. This is a 2.0 shade because the Aurora shimmer and flakes have changed slightly from the original.
Formula was good, shown in two coats with topcoat.
Lollipop Posse Chicken Legs & Mortars & Pestles, Oh My! (sold at Lollipop's site 7/4)
a flakie-packed crelly that's accented with Aurora shimmer and holographic sparkles.
Inspired by Baba Yaga, an enigmatic figure from Russian/Slavic folklore who may appear to help or hinder. You won't find this basic witch flying around on a plain old broom! Instead, you might catch Baba Yaga in her hut that stands on chicken legs, or flying the night skies in her steel mortar and pestle.
No Cap
Packed with sparkle, a fantastic fall shade! Shown is two coats with topcoat, the formula is good and smooth to the touch.
Turtle Tootsie The Beast (sold @ PPU site)
A dark turquoise holo polish loaded with gold holo micro glitter and gold shimmer.
Inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
Totally loving this polish, the shade the sparkle, the squishy jelly finish. Smooth easy application. I'm smitten!

KBShimmer: Endless Summer Collection
KBShimmer's Endless Summer collection celebrates the little things that can help us enjoy this unique summer, like grilling, popsicles and Taco Tuesdays! The nail polishes consist of eight jellies in bold shades accented by color-shifting flakes. Launching on July 3rd!
A Love-Heat Relationship - A pale champagne jelly base with shifting flakes in shades of orange, gold, green, and at extreme angles, aqua. Micro holographic flakes catch the light for a color that really sparkles in the sun!
Anything Is Popsicle – A pink-leaning cherry jelly base, loaded with micro holographic and rainbow color-shifting flakes.
Are You Kitten Me? – An orange jelly with shifting flakes in copper, gold and green. Tiny holographic flakes add a loose linear sparkle.
Living My Zest Life – a golden yellow jelly loaded with color-shifting flakes and micro holo flakes.
Something To Taco ‘Bout – A chartreuse jelly loaded with color-shifting flakes from cheddar orange to guac green as well as micro holographic flakes.
Pretty Shore – Aqua blue in hue, this jelly is loaded with color-shifting flakes that show off shades of orange, gold and green. Micro holo flakes sparkle in bright light like the sun reflecting off the water.
Zoom With A View – A not-quite-purple, but also not-quite-royal-blue shade of periwinkle. The flakes have a prism of hues from coppery reds to bright aqua to lime greens and micro holographic flakes.
Hanging With My Grill Friends – A charcoal jelly with color-shifting flake and micro holo flakes
All of my swatches are shown with two coats of polish and one coat of topcoat. The formula for each of them was smooth and easy to apply. I am loving the new flat rounded brush, it gets really close to the cuticle with very little clean up needed.
