Polish Pickup:Fairy Tales

The theme this month for Polish Pick Up is Fairy Tales! Launch is Nov 1-4 at 10am Central. All of the brands have great offerings this month, and I have a couple of those shades to share with you!


Lollipop Posse Chicken Legs & Mortars & Pestles, Oh My!
a flakie-packed crelly that's accented with Aurora shimmer and holographic sparkles.

Inspired by Baba Yaga, an enigmatic figure from Russian/Slavic folklore who may appear to help or hinder. You won't find this basic witch flying around on a plain old broom! Instead, you might catch Baba Yaga in her hut that stands on chicken legs, or flying the night skies in her steel mortar and pestle.
No Cap

Packed with sparkle, a fantastic fall shade! Shown is two coats with topcoat, the formula is good and smooth to the touch.

KBShimmer The Nothing
We all have movies that we loved as children that can still bring to mind fond memories when we look back on them as adults. For Christy and myself too, The Neverending Story was one of them and it's cover art serves as the inspiration for this polish!

A magnetic polish, this shade starts out as a rich emerald green color that shifts to navy blue. When a magnet is used, the added array of holo glitters and pink-to-blue-shifting micro flakes give this polish a galaxy-like feel. Shown in one coat over black.

KBShimmer The Dark Crystal
This luxurious sugar scrub is inspired by the Dark Crystal story. Like the crystal from the movie, its rich fuchsia color is warmed by the lush scent of amber. Sugar and citron combine with juicy plum notes, accented by cashmere musk for a deep and complex scent.

So totally loving this scent! It is warm, yet bright and soft. The scrub is topped with sparkly glitter and leaves skin feeling soft and clean.

A warm dusty cedar color cream. This not-quite-red shade is the ideal fall color with its coral and brick tones.
The perfect shade for any skin tone. Such a beautifully done shade and the formula is ace. Shown in two coats, but could be worn in one for a mani on the fly.

If You've Got It, Haunt It.
A deepened navy polish that subtly shifts to shades of purple and black, with a linear holo accent.
Very well done navy! Dark enough to be a true navy, but not black and just look at how she glows from within! Shown in two coats, but one coat would work for a 5 minute mani.

Trend Sweater
A unique multichrome that starts out as a vibrant fuchsia shade. As angles and light shift, hues of rose and lavender fade into an almost golden coppery pink. Micro holo flakes complete this trendy polish look.
My favorite of the bunch because she's a shifty wench! Purpley, holo, goldish, coppery, and even green! Shown in two coats.

Apple-y Ever After
This tri-thermal polish is a nod to a classic fall treat. A rich brown hue warms into a bright red color, then gives way to a Granny-Smith-apple-green. Micro holo glitters complete this delicious shade.
Shown in two coats with topcoat, this polish makes my mouth water for caramel apples!

Twist & Stout
A deepened brown linear holo inspired by the color of porters, so deep in tone that it almost appears black in some lighting.

Raking It In
Brightly-colored iridescent flakes dance in a clear base, shifting from hues of red, orange, gold, green, and at extreme angles, aqua.

I've shown it in one coat over several shades from this collection and it looks great with all of them!
