December Polish Pickup Offerings: Winter is Coming

Press Sample

Winter is coming, for real! We had some days where it randomly dropped to 20 degrees and then 52 degrees. It's wreaking havoc on my nails despite constant moisturizing. That's why I have my shorties. Luckily, I received most of my PPU items before the break, so I was able to get these done. This month's theme is Winter is Coming and I love that makers got super creative! Polish Pickup will be different for December, and will be available December 2-6 to hopefully get your orders before the holidays!

Plaid Pumpkin Nail Art

Plaid pumpkin nail art is all the rage right now! I first saw it re-posted by someone in a Facebook group and I was like WHOA. Then I went to the original post to see that the pioneer of this look (well, at least for this season) is Instagrammer KDNailedIt. It's been recreated so many times at this point! Hers were black and white plaid and they are amazing!

So glad I was able to squeeze in this Pusheen mani but I just love the colors and aesthetics of the entire image. I love Pusheen images because there's always a pop of color that I don't expect. Purple leaves? I haven't seen purple leaves but YES, they work so well!

Hello everyone! Are you ready for winter polishes? Well, you have no choice. I have to be honest and say winter collections are usually my least favorite. Usually it's a lot of holiday reds and that's just not my favorite color of polish. But it also means that there are tons of sparkles, and I do love sparkles! So let's get to the collection!
