Polish Pickup Purchases

    
     Hello, lovelies! I have been slacking on writing blog posts lately but the holidays have taken up most of my time and energy. Today, I have swatches of my purchases from Polish Pickup to share with you. Polish Pickup is the best thing ever! Every month, a different theme is voted on and a ton of different makers take on the theme and create a gorgeous polish. It’s really the best idea ever and I’m so glad that I found them. The swatches I have to show you are from November’s theme which was Fandoms!
      First up, I have Nvr Enuff I Will Find You. This gorgeous polish is based on the character, Glenn from the show The Walking Dead. As a huge fan of not only the show but the comic as well, I had to buy this beauty! This is described as a blackened raspberry base with holo and a few different types of glitters. I saw some red glitters as well as some iridescent glitters myself. I used 2 coats for this mani as well as a quick dry top coat. The formula was amazing but the real star was the brush! The brush that Nvr Enuff used is my absolute favorite to use. It’s so easy to control the polish while applying, it’s as if it applies itself. 

      Next, I have Turtle Tootsie’s polish called DP to share with you. This one was inspired by Deadpool and I just had to have this one, as well! This polish is a cherry red linear holo that has black flakies and black and red hex glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a quick dry top coat for this mani. I should have done a second coat of my top coat since the glitters made the polish feel slightly bumpy to the touch but that may have been my sensory issues reading their head. 

       Cherrybonbon from Pahlish is simply stunning! I always love anything Shannon creates and this was no exception. This is a fuschia jelly polish with a teal to pink multichrome shimmer, holo flakes and scattered holo. The holo flakes that Shannon uses are so amazing in any polish she makes that I must own them all! This polish was inspired by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, a Japanese singer, model and blogger. I used 2 coats plus a quick dry top coat for this mani. I think I wore this mani for a full 2 days. That’s very unusual for me! 

      The next polish I have to share with you is from Heather’s Hues and it is so gorgeous! This is called, Man, My Family Did A Number On You. Heather was inspired by the show, Bob’s Burgers, which is one of my favorite shows! If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend you do so! It’s hilarious. This polish is a vibrant purple jelly polish with a pink iridescent shimmer and lime and pink holo microglitters. I used 3 thin coats and a quick dry top coat for this mani. The formula was perfection and very easy to work with. 


     Next, I have Contrary Polish The Juice Fiend which was inspired by the character, Buster from the show, Arrested Development. This polish is a grape jelly polish with various multichrome pigments, flakes and holo sparkle. I used 3 thin coats for this mani as well as a quick dry top coat. The formula was very easy to work with. 


     Last but certainly not least, I have 40 Going On 26 from Colors by Llarowe. Leah Ann was inspired by the show, Younger. This polish is a gorgeous multichrome that shifts from blue to purple to pink and for some added sparkle, there is some holo flakes. I used 3 thin coats for this mani and a quick dry top coat. The formula on this polish is perfection as is the norm for all Leah Ann’s polishes. 






     Keep an eye out for new polishes every month through Polish Pickup here: https://www.polishpickup.com/ They are available the beginning of every month for a certain time period as a preorder.

Pahlish Arcana collection

      Hello, fellow polish lovers! I have some new Pahlish to share today. Pahlish is my absolute favorite indie maker so everything she makes, I love and this new collection is no exception. The Arcana collection was inspired by Tarot cards and each one is just stunning. I have no prior knowledge of Tarot at all but I did a bit of research after receiving this collection to swatch and it’s very fascinating. These new Pahlishes will be available in her shop on Sunday, 1/14 at 7 pm central time. Shannon is also one of the guest makers in Hella Holo Customs this month and 4 custom polishes will be available for purchase.
