Press Sample
I meant to post this last week, but hey, here's your friendly reminder that Polish Pickup resumes this Friday, June 7th. The theme for June is Weather Phenomena. Who chooses these? LOL! Well, I know it's voted on, but who initially came up with this? Anyway, what seemed like a meh theme really brought out the awesome and today I'm sharing a few gorgeous colors and IPU items!

Twin Watersprouts: 2 coats.
Cost & Cap: $9, no cap.
Inspiration:
"Twin Waterspouts were spotted last year off the Kenosha WI shores of
Lake Michigan. A on duty officer took a photo of it which was widely
distributed to media. The color is blue-green-grey because that is the
color of
an angry, turbid, roiling Lake Michigan."
Thoughts:What a cool color! It's a greyed out teal. Use less brushstrokes for a smoother look. There is a nice holo to it that lends to some sparkle. It's more vibrant in the sun too! This is a cool color and it's definitely stormy and moody!

Acetone Additive in Twin Watersprouts
Cost and cap: $8.
Scent: 5.6 oz polish remover dispenser and the 17 mL acetone additive. The ingredients are glycerin, Vitamin E oil, fragrance oil and water, so give it a good shake before use.
Thoughts: So here's the deal. I had all intentions of using this for a proper review, like I normally would. But I've been incredibly sick lately with horrific migraines. So I managed to swatch slowly, but I really didn't want to introduce new scented products to the acetone and maybe trigger a migraine. Please look to the many other bloggers who have reviewed this product.

I Sense a Disturbance in the Force: 3 coats. Maker suggests one coat over black too!
Cost & Cap: $13, 100 cap
Inspiration:
"Based on a Force Storm, which is a weather event in the Star Wars
Expanded Universe that occurred on the planet Tython when the world
became out of balance in the Force. Most Force Storms consisted of
significant and violent weather patterns, while some were occasionally
accompanied by volcanic or seismic activities."
Thoughts: What a super shifty polish! The base is almost an icy silver blue, with violet to teal shifting shimmer and shifting flakes. It might be my favorite Aurora yet! It's stunning! The minute I put it on, I was like WHOA! Shorter nails will have coverage in two coats. This is not one to miss out on!

Black Blizzard: 3 coats plus top coat.
Cost & Cap: $13, 275 US/25 UK cap.
Inspiration: Photo of a dust storm.
Thoughts: What a fun thermal!
This transitions from a dark grey in the cold state to a lighter silver grey
in the warm state. It’s filled with green/pink/copper colour shifting
shimmer, delicate iridescent blue micro-flakes, and larger iridescent
micro-flakes that shift in a glowy blue-purple hue. This is a very complex color! The grey almost has a lavender hue and the shimmers in this are totally complex! It's loaded with all those awesome flakes that shift and pop. Really cool. I added top coat just to make it shine a bit. I see dust storm, for sure!

What Does this Even Mean?: 3 coats plus top coat. 2 coats for shorter nails.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap.
Inspiration: The viral video, Double Rainbow! It's hilarious and you should check it out.
Thoughts: Did weather bring some serious inspiration or what? I'm obsessed with this color and I can see it'll be a best seller! KBShimmer says it the best, "
a dusty Caribbean blue base loaded with holo glow flakes for a bit of
rain-like sparkle. Red-to-green Aurora shimmer adds a colorful twist.
My favorite view of this shade is under overcast skies, when the shimmer
shows off its own gorgeous spectrum of hues that rivals even the beauty
of a double rainbow!" Well, I've shown you all the shifts and shimmers in this and in the shade, your mind will explode. This is stunning.

After the Rain Rainbow Scrub
Cost and Cap: $10, no cap.
Scent: "A blend of sweet melons, juicy raspberries, cool lemonade, fresh cracked
coconut and raw sugarcane - if rainbows had a scent, I imagine they
would smell like this! We highly suggest that you do not let this sit
in a hot mailbox, as the oils will float to the top. If that happens,
let it cool, then scoop farther down into the jar to get to the desired
amount of sugar for use."
Thoughts: This smells so refreshing! As you can see, my mailman took his sweet time delivering this, so the oils did float a bit. No worries, because I will just mix it all up again! I didn't dig in because I'm going through my stash of sugar scrubs and didn't want to contaminate this one. The scent is SOOOOOO good! Just a reminder hehe.

Who is the Drizzle?: 2 coats plus top coat.
Cost & Cap: $12 for 15mL, no cap.
Inspiration: The Drizzle, Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force’s super hero alter ego
Thoughts: This is a gorgeous white crelly with pink/yellow/gold UCC flakies, gold holo glitter, and green shimmer. I will say the green shimmer is so much more obvious in person and really makes this polish super special. I love how big the flakes are, but they all lay completely flat. I love me some flakes, shimmers, and crellies.

Pumpkin Spice Latte Scrub
Cost & Cap: $5.50 for 2.5 oz jar, no cap
Scent:
"Fall weather!! It’s my favorite. How can it not be when you live in a
cabin in the woods? And what is synonymous with fall weather? Pumpkin.
Spice. Lattes. Our emulsified sugar scrub with be scented with a
fragrance blend I created that smells as good as our favorite pumpkin
coffee treat!"
Thoughts: This smells exactly like a PSL. Not too earthy, not too sweet. Great balance. As usual, I love the SC formula of sugar scrubs!
