Ready for another Polish Pickup shade? Tonight I have Dollish Polish Psithurism! I really hope I spelled that right, I’ve looked at the label a million times but my eyes aren’t cooperating… my brain’s cooperation is a little iffy too.
There are about 44 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.
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 September 1st at 11am EST through September 4th 11:59pm EST, 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 ‘Fall Foliage & Fun’
Here is the Dollish Polish inspiration photo!
So many gorgeous colors in one photo! The definition for psithurism is ‘The sound of wind in the trees and rustling of leaves’ so I can see why it was fitting for the theme this month!
Dollish Polish Psithurism
Dollish Polish Psithurism is a deep cool toned forest green jelly base packed with coppery red to gold shimmer, bronze and gold microglitter and silver holographic micro shreds. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
