Polish Pickup June 2018: Video Games

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! The theme for June's Polish Pickup is "Video Games" so makers used inspiration including everything from good old fashioned arcade games, old-school video games that many of us played as kids on the very first computers and gaming systems, to current popular games. This month I was lucky to swatch polishes from Dreamland Lacquer, KBShimmer, Lollipop Posse Lacquer, Pahlish, Pretty Jelly, Rogue Lacquer, and Scofflaw for you. June's Polish Pickup will start on June 1st and will run until June 4th.

Pahlish Electric Summer Bespoke Batches

*Press Samples*

Hi everyone! Today I have these gorgeous Pahlish Electric Summer Bespoke Batches to share with you! These are shades that Shannon made with some gorgeous pigments that she doesn't have unlimited quantities of, so they will likely not be offered again after this month.

Polish Pickup April 2018: Pahlish Twisting Nether

*Press Sample*

Hi everyone! Today I have Pahlish's offering for April's Polish Pickup for you to check out. The theme for April is "Across the Universe: Planets & Galaxies" so makers used intergalactic inspiration for their polishes. This month, Shannon was inspired by The Twisting Nether from World of Warcraft (which I admittedly known nothing about, but if it inspired this polish I'm a fan!). April's Polish Pickup will start on April 6th and will run until April 9th.

Pahlish 12 Days of Christmas Collection + Black Friday GWP

Hi everyone! Today I've got Pahlish's new collection and it's a throwback to Pahlish of yesteryear! Pahlish originally released her 12 Days of Christmas Collection back in Winter 2012 and it was (and still is) a highly coveted collection. This brand new 12 Days of Christmas Collection looks nothing like the original collection, just shares the same name but I love that it gives reference to that iconic collection. Disclaimer: I swatched these on vacation so I didn't have my most ideal lighting setup, but I made it work. I don't feel like I captured all of the glorious shifty aspects of some of these because of that, but I tried! This collection will be available for pre-order during Pahlish's Black Friday sale (which extends to 11/27) with a small discount and will be restocked in small amounts when the shop reopens in December. These polishes will not be available again after January 1st, so grab them while you can! Read on for more Black Friday sale details!
