We’ve got a lot of things going on in our house, so when I get more time to sit down and post – you’ll know it. Now is that time! I spent a chunk of my day doing school supply shopping (that $70 backpack better be worth it Target!) and my son is almost ready for the 6th grade now. I’m not ready, but he’s almost ready.
Now that we’re all fed (thanks In n Out!) I’m settling in to type up a couple more posts. I have 7 polishes that will be available in the August Polish Pickup to share with you, and as usual I like to show case each beauty within it’s own post. First up we have Chirality Nail Polish The Bride!
If my counting skills are decent, there are 40 indie makers involved this month, so that’s a LOT of polishes to choose from.
Okay first we’re going to go through my spiel on Polish Pickup for those not familiar with it!
Before I get into this lovely shade shown above, we’re going to talk about this new Facebook group and I’m going to describe it’s concept. The group is Polish Pickup. Polish Pickup offers a fun, interactive experience that allows you to submit theme ideas, vote for your favorite theme, and selectively purchase your favorite polishes every month. It’s NOT a box though. I think when it formed that was the major misconception of it.
Now, I love polish boxes, however, some purchasers shared their frustration in only wanting 1 or 2 polishes from a box and needing to unload the polishes in the box they didn’t want. So essentially they were paying $40 and up for 1 or 2 polishes and hoping they could sell the polishes they weren’t interested in.
Polish Pickup is different. While the concept of picking themes and voting isn’t new, instead of buying the whole box, you can shop online for JUST the single polishes you want. There can be many indie makers involved with the theme, but you only have to pay for the exact polishes you wanted rather than 4-8 polishes you may not have been interested in.
You following me still?
Then every month the theme and makers change and you get a whole new set of polishes to pick and choose from. So while it has a box like feel (with the voting and themes) it doesn’t carry the box commitment.
This set of polishes will be available from August 4th at 11am until August 7th, and at the end of this post I will have the list of August makers so you can see what to expect.
The August theme is ‘Old Hollywood’
Here is the Chirality Nail Polish inspiration photo!
This is so incredibly fitting for Chirality! I love it!
Chirality Nail Polish The Bride
The Bride is an icy silver scattered holographic with little flecks the go from a bright aqua blue to pink. The flecks are well hidden in photos, but are more prominent in person. You can see them a bit better in my 2 finger pose where the light hits.
I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
See the flecks in the photo above?? Gorgeous.
