Polish Pickup April 2025 | Celebrate!
Disclosure: I am a paid employee for Polish Pickup. While this post is not sponsored by Polish Pickup, I do have a relationship with the hosting collaboration shop.
It’s already time for another giant post! Tonight I have the Polish Pickup April 2025 offerings to share, and the theme this month is Celebrate!
We will be looking at 51 items this month, at least one more is on the way, but USPS is routing it all over New York at the moment, and I don’t know when it will arrive – so the show must go on.
To see all 51 items swatched and demonstrated – check out my YouTube below!
The theme this month is Celebrate and Polish Pickup is turning 8! Back in 2017, it was the first “a la carte” collaboration shop to pop up in the indie polish world and I’m happy to say I have been here swatching a large portion of offerings since month 1. I didn’t join the actual team until March of 2018 and took over their Instagram account (back then there were 2 IG accounts – one for the polish offerings and one for non polish offerings – and then we combined them into 1 account) and I joined in as an admin for the group in October of 2018.
So.. Happy Anniversary Polish Pickup.. and I’ve loved watching you grow all these years!
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, and for the glossy photos I did Monarch Lacquer Hi-Def Shine Top coat (sent as PR and I’ve also purchased.. and that’s an affiliate link). For all textured polishes, I did use Glisten & Glow Glitter Grabber (PR) and Monarch Lacquer top coat over it.
For my lighting setup, since I use artificial lighting due to my day job, involves 2 Neatfi XL Lamps from Amazon (affiliate link) as well as this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
And lastly – I do use artificial gel nails that I do myself at home. In this post (and video) I am using Apres Gel X Nails in Extra Short Stiletto, which are clear nails. I do not use blurring base coats or anything to increase opacity of the nails – and it shows during my YouTube videos especially. With the clear nails, if you can see through the tip still – then odds are you will also see VNL through the polish I have on. If you cannot see through them, then opacity was likely reached.
Side note for this post especially… for my 43rd birthday just last week – Nick bought me a new camera (which I desperately wanted) and it’s got a lot more going on than my previous point and shoot (I had a Nikon L830 that I bought in 2014) and now I am using a Nikon Z30 – and I am slowly learning all of it’s quirks.. and what better way to learn a new camera than during the Polish Pickup rush. So if you see an odd blur spot or oddly colored skin – that’s me learning. But I did do my best to capture and / or correct the polish to be accurate to what I see.
Okay… on with the show! Let’s take a peek at what we have this month!
Alchemy Lacquers | Mashed Monsters
Inspiration: Alchemy Lacquers is celebrating our favorite holiday (Halloween) with a riff on one of our favorite shades (Monster Mash).
Description: Mashed Monsters is a grape jelly base that is packed with green to turquoise to blue shifting micro flakes.

To my nose, this smells like a sweet red wine and has that muskiness to it, but slightly elevated, mature fruity notes.

Inspiration: Inspired by Beaux Rêves best seller in PPU, Blooming Azalea, a partner polish inspired by the theme ‘Deadly Flowers and Plants’

This polish is a bit more sheer than it looks in my photos, you can see in my video that in 3 coats it reaches about 75% opacity. The magnetic is micro flakes as well, so the line isn’t as strong as it usually would be with magnetic pigment.

Apply a coat of this and then top coat over it for a smooth finish.

Restoration Drops by KBShimmer | Nail Polish Thinner
Inspiration:
Description: Restoration Drops is just one of those things that polish lovers should have on standby. Polishes can have evaporation, making them thicker over time, or some ingredients just naturally make the polish thicker. Restoration Drops help thin out polish and bring the polishes either back to life (if evaporated) or bring it to a consistency you prefer.
I use these the most with top coats! Ever notice they get thicker and stringy around the halfway point? Add some thinner to get it back to what you prefer.
Whenever you use drops like this, start off with a few drops (5 or so) and mix, then see where the consistency is. Add more as necessary. This way you don’t overdo it. When I use it in top coats, I typically use 18-20 drops, but I also know my preference and have been doing it with this exact polish thinner (not this bottle, but this brand) for years so I know what to add to get it where I like.
One bottle of this usually lasts me 1 to 1.5 years
Includes turret dropper top. To prevent evaporation of the thinner store with the regular screw top lid. This also gives better control when dripping Restoration Drops into a bottle.
Price: $8.50 | Cap: None
Hand & Body Scrub by KBShimmer | Slice of Cake
Inspiration: No party is complete without a cake to make the celebration feel special.
Description: KBShimmer’s sugar scrubs are good for all over the body or as a hand scrub, the sugar particles are medium grit so they do a good job getting dry spots on your body situated.
Slice of Cake Hand & Body Scrub will make you think of a perfect bite of birthday cake. The sweet, buttery scent of frosting instantly hits you upon opening the jar; then comes the warm vanilla and bakery notes of cake. Close your eyes, and you can almost smell the sugary sprinkles too!
To my nose, of initial opening – it smelled like a vanilla rum cake to me…which is odd. But after being opened a bit, it mellowed out into a sweet vanilla buttercream scent.
Price: $11.00 | Cap: 300
Lemming Lacquer | Falling Down the Rabbit Hole
