January 2020 Polish Pickup Offerings: Written in the Stars

Press Sample

As it is the end of the month, it's time to show off Polish Pickup! Right after New Year's, you can grab these items with the theme: Written in the Stars. As always, makers totally have fun with the theme and I love that people think outside of the box. So today I'm sharing the products so you can save up some of that holiday money and grab these exclusive products!

January 2020 Polish Pickup Offerings: Written in the Stars

What's Your Sign: 1 coat over a mauve creme. 
Cost & Cap: $9.50, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: Stars in the sky in their entirety, for the wearer to have stars on their nails whenever they want, because the stars are always in the sky. A holo shimmer top coat.
Thoughts: I believe this color will be available via the IPU side, as it is a top coat. This could probably give off a subtle sparkle alone in 3-4 coats, because it is a dense top coat. I chose to show it over a mauve because I never see mauve holos!

Breathtaking: 3 coats plus top coat.
Cost & Cap: $12, 75 US, 15 UK.
Inspiration & Color Description: Virgo Justice. "Electric Blue to Indigo Thermal with gold, pink, copper, and purple flakes. Inspired by the Virgo G-ddess Astraea and Keanu Reeves as John Wick."
Thoughts: This is so vibrant! The shift is much more obvious in person, but it is a more subtle shift since the colors are in the same color family. The flakes pop off the bright base. I haven't seen the movie, but I'm down with this color!

Name: Astronaut Ice Cream
Cost and Cap: $10, cap to be determined, so grab quick.
Scent: Inspired by that bar of freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream, Astronaut Ice Cream sugar scrub features three layers, each with its own scent.  The classic strawberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors are represented by the pink, cream, and brown-colored layers.  Use each layer individually, or stir them to form a juicy, chocolate-covered berry scent.
Thoughts: Mmmm I love astronaut ice cream. It's so weird. This scent is pretty spot on. It has that artifical-ness that is in the astronaut ice cream. But it's a good artificial, know what I mean? You can really identify the three separate scents and that's how I plan to use it!

I Need Space: 3 coats plus top coat. Magnetized on coat 2, 3, and top coat.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description:  I Need Space is inspired by stunning photos of our galaxy from earth, with that hazy band of stars and deepened sky. I Need Space 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, while tiny, shifty blue flakes complete this galaxy-inspired shade. 
Thoughts: I shared this only in its magnetic state because I don't see myself wearing it un-magnetized. The shift after the magnet is so mesmerizing. It was like watching magic happen! LOL. I especially like the glitters in this polish. It's so sparkly.

Stella Chroma
January 2020 Polish Pickup Offerings: Written in the Stars


Name: Endless Love Emulsified Sugar Scrub
Cost & Cap: $6 for 2.5 oz jar, no cap
Scent and Inspiration: Inspired by our middle school obsession with love horoscopes and the Victoria’s Secret Endless Love body spray. :) This scrub is fruity and floral with notes of peach, pineapple, rose, and jasmine with a vanilla undertone. Totally dreamy.
Thoughts:You already know that I love the Stella Chroma sugar scrub formula. You can search my blog for full reviews. It's a creamy scrub but it does heavy duty refreshing on my skin. I love this scent. It realllly brought be back, as I totally remember this body care line from VS. It's a nice even balance of fruit and vanilla.

Ride, Sally Ride: 2 coats.
Cost & Cap: $12 for 15mL, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: We decided on a different interpretation of the stars theme this month and decided to honor America’s first woman in space, Sally Ride. This polish is a vivid blue creme finish that pays tribute to the blue jumpsuit worn in Sally’s official NASA headshot. We accented it with silver and gold flakies as a nod to the stars.
Thoughts: The flakies are the winners here! They pop off the blue base. I should have matted this, because I know it will be stunning! I love this shade of blue and I did not experience any staining. I also love how the green flakes seem to glow in the base. This is gorgeous.
