Polish Pickup September 2025: PPUWeen

PR Sample

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, a shiver of excitement sends a jolt to my fingertips. It's that magical time of year when pumpkin spice everything reigns supreme, spooky decorations adorn every corner, and the nail polish world unleashes its most enchantingly eerie creations! Get ready, because It is time for Polish Pick Up's PPUWeen! This month, indie brands have conjured up bewitching limited-edition polishes, and I've got a cauldron full of swatches to share!




Ghosted Nail Polish - You know the feeling—the chill down your spine, the hair on your arms standing up as you slowly turn around to look...but no one is there. Could it be a hitchhiking ghost? A wandering spirit we were warned might try to escape as we left, or worse, keep someone with it? All I know is, there may be room for one more...but it’s not going to be me!




Apple Honey Cider Hand & Body Scrub - As the brisk fall air starts to push summer aside, let the cozy scent of apple cider keep those warm thoughts going for a bit longer. Sweet notes of honey and vanilla bean provide a rich base for the bright, crisp aroma of apples. Cinnamon stick and clove add just the right touch of spice—not too much, just enough to make you think of a freshly poured mug of cider warming your hands.




The Ghoul Next Door- Forest green to pale pink thermal base with peach to gold to green to blue shifting shimmer




All of my swatches are shown in two thick coats with topcoat and had no formula issues unless otherwise stated. All photography uses a neutral color temperature bulb with white bounce card. My nails are natural with no enhancements and no blurring/cream base, I have a fairly prominent VNL.

BCA box: LynB Designs

PR Sample

Every year, the nail polish community comes together to support a cause close to many hearts through the annual Breast Cancer Awareness Box, hosted by Hearts & Promises. This year's collaboration features an incredible lineup of indie brands, including LynB, which has created a duo of products to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.





Doing My Breast - electric purple base with intense pink to orange shifting shimmer and blue glow in the dark




You're the Tits- A soft skin musk with hints of vanilla

For me, it's a sweet French style vanilla, maybe even some Tonka in there and the musk at the base mellows the sweetness as it dries down. Think sweet but fresh vanilla.

LynB Designs: PBE VIP and Freebie Polishes

PR, Bought/Traded, GWP Samples

For all of you who have been eagerly asking about the new LynB polishes, your patience has paid off! I know the PBE VIP and freebie shades have sparked a lot of curiosity, and let me tell you, I heard you all loud and clear and finally sharing the swatches you've all been waiting for.

A quick heads-up: I'm playing detective with the descriptions since there aren't any official ones. I acquired these polishes through a mix of trading a polish I purchased for one, getting another as a freebie with a purchase, and finding the third in my PBE press swag.

Drop a comment if you enjoyed the swatches!




Leaf Me Petrified - Soft brown packed with colorful flakes and a smattering of holo flake.




Not Easy Being Sphene - a vibrant olive base with coppery to golden shimmer.




Schist Happens - Dove grey crelly with blue to indigo to purple shimmer.
