Polish Pickup May 2020 Offerings: Candy Land

Press Sample

Good morning and hello to the start of another week. I feel like March went by very slowly, but we zipped through April. I am okay with this, because I am ready for my semester to be over. This has taught me that I am not cut out to teach an online course. But I am certainly trying! I think I am just tired being glued to my computer and it has certainly affected my blog. At the end of the day, I just don't want to be on my computer. But of course, I am here to share a few products from May's Polish Pickup: Candy Land!

Lemon Fizz: 3 coats plus top coat.
Cost & Cap: $9, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: A soft, lemony yellow shimmer.
Thoughts: I dig the paleness of this yellow. It's like the pith of the lemon (the white part of the skin) mixed with the yellow of the lemon. It has a nice silver shimmer.

Lemon Fizz Mani/Pedi Soak
Cost & Cap: $5 for 8 of the bath balls, cap of 20
Scent: Lemongrass
Thoughts: This has a nice, bright scent! For such a small product, it was so refreshing and really packs a punch. I used this as a pedi bath and my feet felt really nice. There was some nice fizzing as well.

Name: Spun Sugar Sugar Scrub
Cost and Cap: $10, no cap.
Scent: Spun Sugar Hand & Body Scrub evokes memories of those sweet summer days at the fair. This scent starts with sugary notes of raspberry cotton candy and tart lemon and is anchored together with undertones of musk and caramel.  Don’t let the name fool you, this is no fluffy scent. Deep and complex, Spun Sugar will make strangers stop and ask what you are wearing!  If you love our Pink Sugar scent, this is an updated version that I am sure you will love!
Thoughts: It definitely is a more sophisticated Pink Sugar scent. It really is quite similar to my nose with just a bit more musk. I love the soft pastel coloring of this one!

Fruit Slices Yummy Yummy: 3 coats plus top coat, then matte
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: I love the type of gummy candy that is slightly firm, brightly colored and covered in crunchy sugar crystals.  Especially fruit slices, yummy, yummy!  Give me all the lime, cherry, orange, and other fruit-flavored treats, please!  Fruit Slices, Yummy Yummy is a bright, coral-colored jelly polish accented by color-shifting flakes. These flakes shift from a fiery orange to lemon yellow and lime green. This coral shade can lean more pink or orange depending on the lighting, complementing many skin tones.  Micro holographic flakes add a hint of sparkle to this juicy shade.
Thoughts: I am a huge fan of coral polishes and of course, I love the addition of the flakes in this base. I feel like in person, there were much more shades of green in the flakes than my photos captured. I think the amount of pink or orange that pulls out will depend on your base coat. I love it!


Normally I don't pose my polishes with food, but I ACTUALLY had fruit slices!!! LOLLL. Now the kind that inspired Christy was a paler color than mine but I just had to put them together. The flakes in the polish are like the colors of the fruit slices!

Skip to the Sweet Shop: 3 coats plus top coat, then matte.
Cost & Cap: $13, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: Candy sprinkles (picture below); the name 'Skip to the Sweet Shop' was taken from "I Want Candy", a song by MC Pee Pants from the Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode "MC Pee Pants".'Skip to the Sweet Shop' is a neon purple base filled with bright pink shifting iridescent flakes, iridescent shifting micro glitters, and holographic accents.
Thoughts: So full disclosure: I am not a purple polish fan. But oh my, this is one that I love. I definitely did not want to take it off. The bright pink flakes and shimmer really came together to create a gorgeous polish.

Sweet Tart Emulsified Sugar Scrub
Cost & Cap: $6 for 2.5 oz jar, no cap
Scent: Our creamy, moisturizing scrub is scented with a sweet and sour scent reminiscent of color Sweet Tarts candies!
Thoughts: Love the sugar scrub formula, as always. And this is an excellent sweet scent, but light enough that it isn't sickening. I definitely want more of this scent!

Sugar Mountain: 3 thin coats plus top coat.
Cost & Cap: $12 for 15mL, no cap.
Inspiration & Color Description: Inspired by Neil Young’s song called Sugar Mountain. This smooth multichrome polish covers most of the colors of the rainbow. A base of vivid purple is highlighted by shifts of gold to red to magenta. Green peeks out at extreme angles.
Thoughts: This is a lovely shimmery multichrome. It almost looks like there's sparkly bits of blue flecks in it because it's so shimmery. The gold and red came to say hello very easily. It's a lovely shifty polish!
