Polish Pickup Offerings July 2020: Rewind


Press Sample

Every July, Polish Pickup does a "rewind," meaning that makers can bring back customers' favorite products for one time! Each maker can have 2 items: one to sell during the normal Polish Pickup weekend (July 3-6) and one item to sell in their own shop for the month of July! So I've added the details below with swatches, so read carefully! I've linked my original reviews so you can see more info!

Get the Snow Off the Road: 3 coats. See original post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap. Will be sold on the PPU site.
Inspiration & Color Description: Snow plows. "A charcoal holo with 3 different particle sizes."
Thoughts: The colors of this reminds me of snow that gets dirty. Snow is pretty for like an hour and then the plows come through and it becomes this gross grey and muddy color. Well think of that grey but stunningly gorgeous because it's a holo! I do love the finish of this. It's not a flat linear holo but has lots of dimension!

Magical Amber:  3 coats plus top coat. Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap. Will be sold on the Alter Ego site for all of July.
Inspiration: Amber Boosts optimism, facilitates self-expression, attracts friends and helps to find partner in life, brings victory. Amber beads on a red thread repels witches and malicious spirits. It was believed in the old days that there is no such ailment the Amber would not heal.
Thoughts: This thermal is the colors in amber. It moves from a yellow base when warm, to orangey red. It's so perfect for pumpkin manicures. I can't wait to put it back on. It's a little sheer, but I don't think I'll care once I do art. It dries a bit matte, so use top coat for shine.

After the Rain Rainbow Scrub: Original Post HERE.
Cost and Cap: $10, no cap. Will be sold on the PPU site.
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!

Sol What?: 3 coats.  Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap. Will be sold on the PPU site.
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.

Pomegranate Scrub: Original Post HERE.
Cost and Cap: $10, no cap. Will be available on the KBShimmer website.
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).

I Need Space: 3 coats plus top coat. Magnetized on coat 2, 3, and top coat. Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $10, no cap. Will be available on the KBShimmer web site for all of July.
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.

Lollipop Posse Lacquer


Chicken Legs & Mortars & Pestles, Oh My!: 2 coats plus top coat. Then matte. Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $13, no cap. Will be available on Lollipop Posse site for all of July.
Inspiration and Color Description: "Here at Lollipop Posse Lacquer, we love a good old weird witch! That's why we decided to pay tribute to the Baba Yaga, an enigmatic figure from Russian/Slavic folklore who may appear to help or hinder. She traverses the forest in her chicken-legged hut, and flies through the air in her steel mortar and pestle. 'Chicken Legs & Mortars & Pestles, Oh My!' is a black crelly packed with red/gold/green shifting ultra chameleon chrome flakes, red/gold/green shifting iridescent flakes, and holographic microflakies."
Thoughts: Yea, I think this might be my favorite Lollipop! I love the black base with those shifting flakes. As gorgeous as it is in my favorites, it's more amazing in person. I love this!

As a note, in the PPU shop, you can grab A Distinct Aura of Dottiness, which I have posted HERE. The PPU version is 2.0 due to pigments and flake differences. It's gorgeous but check the PPU site for accurate swatches (my bad, I forget to get this to swatch!).

Gingered Peach Emulsified Sugar Scrub. Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $6.50 for 2.5 oz jar, no cap. Will be available on the PPU site.
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.

Spin Me Round:  2 coats plus top coat. Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $13 for 15mL, no cap. Will be available on the PPU site.
Inspiration: The Gravitron. "As a kid, the county fair was the best! The best ride at the fair was... The Gravitron! The lights, the music... who didn’t love slowly turning upside down while spinning at lightning speed and jamming to awesome tunes? Even better if you’d won a stuffed animal to hang out on the of next to yours."
Thoughts: Oh my this color. I loved it so much, I kept it on for days after I swatched it and eventually stamped over it. This is a "silver/green/purple multichrome with multiple colors of UCC flakies." This is soooo shifty! I even saw blue on my nails. And I loved the addition of flakes. Overall, this is a gorgeous and magical polish. I love it!

Lavender Fields Forever: 3 coats, 2 for short. Original Post HERE.
Cost & Cap: $13 for 15mL, no cap. Will be available on the Stella Chroma site for all of July with free shipping.
Inspiration & Color Description: "A stunning, super shifty multichrome that flashes green-blue-purple-yellow (yellow at extreme angles). We’ve filled it with similar shifting UCC flakies and holographic particles"
Thoughts: I put this back on because it's so amazing. I'm currently wearing this now! I love how there's the shifting base, the shifting flakes, and the holo. Enjoy all the photos. This one is such a winner so I would not miss out on it.
