5th Century Indian Nut: 3 coats.
Cost & Cap: $9, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: Coconuts.White with metallic brown microglitter, just like the colors of a coconut.
Thoughts: The glitter in this looks more black than brown to my eye. The formula built up nicely and it gives that typical crelly look.If you look closely, there are sparse brown glitters. This reminds me of speckled eggs, perfect for upcoming Easter.

Moments of Horror: 2 coats.
Cost & Cap: $12.50, 75 US, 15 UK.
Inspiration & Color Description:
The Mummy. Golden peach to mossy green thermal with gold shimmer and flakes.
Thoughts: This is such a funky color and I can't think of a better "mummy" color. The peach is like a vintage color that reminds me of aged linen. The moss color is really pretty and as you can see, the colors transition easily. The flakes are sparse, but the color is so fun. I really appreciate when makers choose unique colors.

Pomegranate Scrub
Cost and Cap: $10, no cap.
Scent: "Hades ruled the underworld and on a trip topside, saw Persephone
and decided he had to have her. One kidnapping later, Persephone was living in
the underworld, eventually falling in love with Hades. Long story short, the
world revolted, and forced Hades to give Persephone back, but not before he fed
her four pomegranate seeds, forcing her to return for 4 months each year.
And this is why we have winter. Our
pomegranate scrub features a hint of musk, with tropical notes of pineapple and
guava for a bold pomegranate scent perfect for ushering in spring."
Thoughts: The scent is literally as it sounds. It's totally fruity and fairly sweet. The sweetness is definitely on the forefront. As I have said before, the formula is great and it is a grittier sugar scrub (vs the other one in my post).

Sol What?: 3 coats.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: "Though their origin story varies, Norse mythology states there was
a being so beautiful that she was named Sól, after the sun, and her brother
Mani after the Moon. This angered the Norse gods that their father, Mundilfari,
would be so arrogant to name his children after the sun and moon. So the gods
punished Sól, and made her drive a chariot of the sun around the earth as
punishment, followed by Sköll, an evil wolf, and her brother Mani and the wolf
Hati, to ensure they never stop moving. When researching Ancient History and
different mythology, artwork of this sun and moon based story inspired our
March 2020 polish, Sól What? A light purple jelly base is accented by
color shifting flakes. These flakes shift from a fiery orange and warm
gold and grass green. Micro holographic flakes shine bright in Sól’s sun,
shining like a million stars in Mani’s night sky."
Thoughts: Obsessed. I absolutely love this polish. You can do two coats, but I did a very thin third coat so I could add on all the flakies. I love how shifty the flakes are and that the purple is light. I am tired of dark purple polishes LOL. This is such a winner.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer
 |
| Polish Pickup March 2020 Offerings: Ancient History |
The Sister Guardians: 3 coats. Dries matte.
Cost & Cap: $13, 120 cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: "
Inspired
by the Zorya sisters of ancient Slavic folklore. They are often
referred to as the Auroras, and are the guardians of the morning and
evening skies. A sky blue crelly packed with two Aurora shimmers that shift vibrant pink, gold, and green."
Thoughts: I decided to keep this one in the matte stage because I love it. Of course, you could add top coat for shine. This is a sheer polish, so that the shimmers could shine. You can layer this over a similar blue or a black, but I chose to wear it on its own. It is very shifty and the shimmer really show off a rainbow.

Stella Chroma
 |
| Polish Pickup March 2020 Offerings: Ancient History |
Name: Gingered Peach Emulsified Sugar Scrub
Cost & Cap: $6 for 2.5 oz jar, no cap
Scent: "Both ginger and peaches originated in ancient East Asia, and they smell
AMAZING together. So why not combine them with our rich sugar scrub? The
smell of fresh, juicy peach is accented (not overpowered by) the spicy
warmth of ginger."
Thoughts: Ginger peach is a favorite scent and flavor of mine. It's actually my favorite tea. I could not wait to try this and it is everything. I also ordered the cuticle oil and yup, you need it. This has such a perfect balance of scents and I love the creamy formula of this sugar scrub.

As Confused As Nigel: 3 coats.
Cost & Cap: $12 for 15mL, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: "In ancient times, hundreds of years
before the dawn of history..." And down drops an 18" prop piece of
Stonehenge. But our big haired, heavy metal boys don't realize it for
quite a while. Until it was in danger of "being crushed by dwarves."
This emerald green jelly took inspiration from the costumes of those on
stage. Green like the dwarves' suits with a strong red shimmer like the
feathers in their caps. Accented by black holo shards and gold
holographic glitter so that you can be as blingy as the boys of Spinal
Tap."
Thoughts: I wore this polish for a full week (and I shared my mani earlier this week). This is such an awesome color. This mixture of shimmer, holo, glitter is just awesome. It all melds together. I had so many comments on my nails when I wore this color. Don't skip this one. Love it!
