My fifth and final post for the May 2017 Polish Pickup shop is here! This is Chirality Nail Polish Fuchs’ Crypt!
I’m going to go over this again for those joining us this month:
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.
The first set of polishes will be available from May 5th until May 8th, and at the end of this post I will have the list of May makers so you can see what to expect.
Manna’s Mani’s is the “Polish Pickup May Swatcher of the Month” so you can head to her blog for a majority of the polishes available for May!
May’s theme is Science!
Here is Chirality Nail Polish’s inspiration photo:
Before we get started (again) what is a fuchs’ crypt? I looked it up!
Pit-like depressions or openings found near the collarette and near the periphery of the iris. They allow the passage of aqueous humour from the anterior chamber into the stroma of the iris as the volume of the iris changes with dilatation and contraction.
Now let’s take a look at the polish!
