natural light |
PRESS SAMPLE
Sarah of Bee's Knees has sent me this months Mythology themed Polish Pickup offering to review! It's almost time for the shop to open so let me briefly explain what this is if you are not familiar. Polish pickup is a monthly boutique that is based on a customer voted theme. The store runs for 4 days and opens each first Friday at 11 am EST and closes 11:59 pm EST the following Monday. The sister shop, Indie Pickup is now running parallel and collectively they will be known as The Pickup. Some items have limited amounts, some do not and some brands participate nearly every month while others occasionally join. This is awesome because you can pick up a variety of amazing items that are connected by a theme but chose only what you love. All of the polish and many of the other handmade items are EXCLUSIVE to this shop so this is likely your only chance to ever pick them up. Shipping will be combined for multiple orders if you are in the U.S. or Canada and shipped for a flat rate of $3 and $5 respectively. If you are international shipping will vary by country and orders will not be combined, please check out once with everything you want to avoid more than one shipping charge. This is a PRE-ORDER so be prepared to wait 3 weeks or so for your order to ship.

- January 4-7, 11am EST- 11:59pm EST
- $13, no cap (unlimited available).
- I used 3 coats with glossy and matte topcoats. Clean up was simple, not enough flakies to stick to the skin. Appropriate dry time to prevent pulling but nice and quick.Easy to use viscosity, stays where you put it, no running or pooling. Simple removal, no scrubbing.
- Shown in sunlight, natural light, and T5 full spectrum lights.
Description: A silver linear holo polish with an icy blue to purple shimmer, holo flakes, and iridescent flakes that shift teal to purple.
Inspiration:
I grew up listening to stories involving the haetae from my grandmother so this mythical creature has always held a special place in my heart. What's not to love about a unicorn/lion/dragon hybrid creature that's a symbol of protection?
