Lollipop Posse: I Make Things Want Things


Launching August 13, 11pm Central time is Lollipop Posse's HHC exclusive and limited edition polish. Inspired by a character named Desire from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" graphic novels.

I Make Things Want Things
A tinted holographic flakie base filled with red/gold/green shifting multichrome pigment and red/gold shifting ultra chameleon chrome flakes.
No Cap

There's something so tranquil about the tone of this polish and then you can see the flake and sparkle dancing on your nails like fire!
The composition is spectacular and complex, a work of art in a bottle.

Shown is two coats with topcoat. The formula is great, and to be honest, Lollipop's polishes seem to have really good wear time for me. I've never been disappointed with them in this area.

Evil Emperor Zurg
Bright Purple with multichrome flakes, strong aurora shimmer and ultra holo glitter.

Polish Pickup: August 2019


The August Polish Pick Up theme is At The Carnival! Launch is 8/2 at 10am Central. All of the brands have great offerings this month, and I have four of those shades to share with you!

xoxoJen's swatch collage of Polish Pickup: August 2019


1850 Artisan Madame Lulu
a blue-leaning purple base with added dimension from copper and turquoise shimmers, and it is topped with beautiful iridescent flakes that shift through colors of emerald, orange, pink, purple, and gold. This slightly eerie and intriguing color is based on the Madame Lulu character from The Carnivorous Carnival, part of A Series of Unfortunate Events.
No Cap

Super shimmery! I wore two coats with topcoat, formula was good no issues.

KBShimmer Mirror Mirror In The Stall
Inspired by carnival mirror prizes from the 80’s and 90’s
Loaded with micro holo flakes, adding sparkle to this silvery shade. In lower light, the Aurora shimmer packed in this polish shows off shifts from gold, to pink, to green and more.
No Cap

I did my best to capture it, but this really is one that needs to be seen in person. Don't miss it! Shown in two coats, no issues with formula.

Lollipop Posse Wonder For Reason
Inspiration: HBO’s “Carnivale”
A greyed out base with a slight blue tint, packed full of sepia-toned shimmer that shifts between orange, red, gold, and green.
No Cap

"Before the beginning, after the Great War between Heaven and Hell, God created the Earth and gave dominion over it to the crafty ape he called Man; and to each generation was born a creature of light and a creature of darkness; and great armies clashed by night in the ancient war between Good and Evil. There was magic then, nobility, and unimaginable cruelty; and so it was until the day that a false sun exploded over Trinity, and Man forever traded away wonder for reason." -Samson, "Carnivale"

Super shifty! Shown in two coats, slightly sheer. I enjoy the sheerness of this, I think it adds to the mystery of what color this polish is and gives it the ability to be used as a sort of smokescreen type topper as well!

Peachtree Polish Masked Parade
Inspired by a very embellished masked carnival/mardi gras character whose costume has shades of royal blue velveteen, chunky golden gemstones and trim.
a cobalt blue crelly base with holographic pigment and packed with red/copper/yellow UCC flakes.
Cap: 75

Beautiful bright blue squishy cream filled with colorful flake! Formula was fantastic, shown in two coats.
