It’s that time again, and I’m always shocked at how fast it sneaks up on me. I’m talking about Polish Pickup February 2020! Flora & Fauna is the theme – so it’s about the plant and animal life this month.
As of now (when I start typing this post) I have 101 items to share, but I’m still waiting on 5-7 items to arrive. Basically I’m in tax season now during my day job which won’t deter me from doing these massive Polish Pickup posts, but I do need to start typing a lot earlier to get things moving. The posts alone take roughly 8 hours, so if I start now, I might get done by tomorrow night with all of my breaks and my work schedule.
As far as I am aware – I think I’m still waiting on Bluebird Lacquer, Girly Bits (2 items), Grace-full Nail Polish, Luna Wax, and Emily de Molly.
I will have a giveaway at the end of the post like usual, so make sure you stick around for that.
This month I switched it up a bit and did each polish both glossy and matte. I only did 2 photos for matte to show them because that already brings us up to 7 photos per polish and… that’s a lot. I’m going to try to do this each month, however I went through a full bottle of matte top coat plus dipped into the start of a new bottle – and I basically need to buy a lot more matte top coat to continue it. I’m hoping to hit up Sally’s or something this weekend and seeing what a good price is to buy in bulk.
This is an EXTREMELY photo heavy post. As of right now it’s 101 items with 3-7 photos PER item (majority has 7 though.) If there is something specific you are looking for – on desktop hit CTRL + F and type what you are searching for. Otherwise, enjoy the long scroll down the page, and of course the giveaway at the end.
The February Shop will open on February 7th and close February 10th.
For all photos shown, I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, either Vibrant Vinyls or Cuticula top coat, and Tonic Polish Velvet Matte Top Coat unless otherwise specified.
Let’s get this show on the road!

Anchor & Heart Lacquer | Shake It, Nudibranch
Inspiration: inspired by the beautiful yet strange Spanish Shawl Nudibranch – a toxic, hermaphroditic sea slug that swims by violently thrashing its body back and worth in a c-shape. The result is a truly unique dance that looks like a fancy purple and orange rug being vigorously shaken out!

Price: $13.00 | Cap: None
Baroness X | Acetone Additive
Inspiration: We’re pulling inspo from both sides of the theme this month, sweet purple figs (flora) and honey from bees (fauna).
Description: Acetone Antidote is an additive for your acetone to protect your skin from the harshness of acetone. It contains glycerin and jojoba oil to help protect and moisturize your nails, skin, and cuticles during polish removal. Plus, no more ashy, dry skin.
I personally use mine mostly in Zoya Remove+ remover – it’s not just for pure acetone.
This months scent is Purple Fig & Honey. Purple fig with top notes of warm honey and a slight touch of ginger in a sugary vanilla base. This month’s Acetone Antidote comes in a purple ombre glass bottle.
This is a lighter scent and honey and vanilla are the notes I detect most, then a hint of fig. It smells really nice.
Price: $4.25 | Cap: None
Bee’s Knees Lacquer | Spriggan Lip Balm Tint
Inspiration: the Burnt Spriggans from Skyrim
Description: Spriggan is an unscented lip balm tinted a sheer, deep, brownish red with golden bronze shimmer. For the photo below, I applied 2 coats on my lips to reach the color shown.
This is one of the sheerer shades that I can think of for the lip tints done for Polish Pickup, but it’s very wearable for a variety of people and you can layer it up for more color.
Price: $5.00 | Cap: No Cap
Bee’s Knees Lacquer | Look At His Little Boots!

By Vanessa Molina | PEEL OFF
Inspiration: image of fauna that does skin exchange
Description: PEEL OFF is a peel off base coat which is perfect for swatchers like me! It does contain latex, so if you have a latex allergy, this isn’t for you. Goes on white and dries clear so it doesn’t alter the polish color – then it easily peels off when ready to remove. This can also be used to protect cuticles for stamping/gradients if you apply around the cuticle line and let dry.
Price: $9.00 | Cap: 200 US / 20 UK

Cuticula | Power Couple Duo
Inspiration: Inspired by Tropical Birds
Description: The Power Couple duo includes Mic Drop Base Coat and Limitless Quick Dry Top Coat. The scent this month is Hawaiian Punch, which smells almost exactly like the bright red drink. As soon as you smell it, it will remind you of it, I promise!
Mic Drop Base Coat is a 5 Free base that is a ridge filler and sticky bond base coat combined. Limitless Top Coat is a 5 Free quick dry top coat that dries fast and can be used with nail art if you float the top coat on.

Confection Nail Fortifier is a non greasy creamy formula fortified to help keep nails strong and cuticles soft and moisturized.

Description: Glofish is a deep blue jelly base with fluorescent glitters ranging from micro to large size and sea blue hex glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This is a slightly darker blue in person, since it’s a jelly base – the light passes through all layers and makes it appear lighter than it is.
Price: $12.00 | Cap: 75 US / 5 UK
Ginger Fizz Boutique | Fairy Godmothers
Inspiration: Sleeping Beauty was one om my first princes dolls. I still sometimes catch myself singing—Once Upon a Dream. But my favorite part about Sleeping Beauty is that she had not one but three fairy godmothers—Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Since Sleeping Beauty is often seen sleeping with a rose in her hands and she was renamed Briar Rose, the scent choice for this wax brittle had to be roses. Enjoy this sweet scent will hanging out with your prince charming or waiting for him to find you!
Description: Fairy Godmothers wax is a white wax sprinkled with pink rose petals, and the scent is sweet, fresh cut roses and vanilla. It’s a classic and romantic scent. The rose scent isn’t super strong and ‘grandmother’ like at all – it’s well balanced and makes a nice home scent.
Price: $5.00 | Cap: 75 US / 25 UK
Girly Bits | Fireweed
Inspiration: I took inspiration from the magic and wonder of Banff National Park, Canada. It’s filled with beautiful lakes of aqua and turquoise, majestic mountains, and acres upon acres of wildflowers and wildlife. I was inspired specifically by an image of fireweed by Lake Louise, which is where one of my daughters currently lives and works as a concierge. Fireweed is often the first plant life to grow after the devastation of wildfires, and it has been used for years by First Nations people to treat burns and other skin conditions because of its anti inflammatory properties.

Glisten & Glow | Cuticle Remover Pen & Cuticle Oil Pen Duo
Inspiration: N/A
Description: The scent for this month’s duo is Pomegranate Punch, which is a custom blend of the tangy fruity yet light and refreshing pomegranate with twist of orange zest. I need someone to make this for me as a drink, cause it smells delicious and refreshing. I definitely smell the pomegranate and a citrus zing to it.
Glisten & Glow’s cuticle remover softens and removes excess cuticle as well as eponychium skin and comes in an easy to use twist-up pen style applicator. The cuticle oil is in the same style twist up pen – and I actually keep this duo in my desk drawer at work. It’s very easy to carry.
Directions for Cuticle Remover: Apply generously to the cuticle area and let sit for 60 seconds. Next, gently push back with your favorite tool, I personally love my Germanikure Crystal Cuticle Pusher (that’s an affiliate link) Finally, wash hands and cuticles thoroughly with soap and water.
Follow up with the cuticle oil pen, and your cuticles will be in tip top shape.
I would show a before and after, but I’m actually incredibly anal about my nail care and use remover every Sunday, plus push back every other day – so I didn’t have enough on the nail to show a before/after shot.
Price: $12.00 | Cap: No Cap
Glisten & Glow | Pink Gerbera Daisies
Inspiration: Pink Gerbera Daisies are my favorite flower! I love the bright bold color of the pedals with dark contrast of the center of the flower. They were my wedding flowers also! They bring a smile to your face when you see them and brighten any room!
Description: Pink Gerbera Daisies is a bright neon pink glitter crelly base packed with various size and shape black glitters and black holo glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This is a deeper pink in person. It’s bright, so it photographed like a neon (which makes the color correcting harder.)
Price: $12.50 | Cap: None
Grace-full Nail Polish | Floral Dreams
Inspiration: Inspired by a wedding bouquet
Description: Floral Dreams is a tri thermal moving from burgundy when cold to magenta – red then to mauveish lavender when warm. There are red, cooper and gold chrome chameleon flakes throughout. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

This month’s scent is Chocolate Orchid and it’s a unique and fresh blend of light floral mixed with warm milk chocolate undertones to create a beautiful, clean fragrance.
My nose picks up the floral blend first, then the chocolate is an afterthought in the scent, it kind of mellows out the floral.
***CONTAINS OILS DERIVED FROM SEEDS/NUTS***
Price: $6.50 | Cap: 30 US / 5 UK
Heaven Scent Treasures | Roll On Perfume
Inspiration: The Last Unicorn movie/Book
Description: The Unicorn Lived in a Lilac Wood is a hand crafted blend of Apples & Oak, and Lilac. Imagine walking in a apple orchard that’s next to a lilac field.
My nose picks up the lilac scent most, but the apple scent gives it a fresh, juicy twist. It has silver flecks that are left behind when rolling it on. If you don’t want it to leave on any shimmer, don’t shake it up – just let the shimmer settle at the bottom. It mixes back up easily if you want to swap back and forth between shimmer.
Price: $9.00 | Cap: No Cap
Hit The Bottle | TIddalik’s Laugh
Inspiration: Green and gold bell frog of Southeastern Australia

Hit The Bottle | Black Undies
Inspiration: N/A
Description: Black Undies is a black peel off base coat. This is a one coater, and I only used 1 coat for my photos. While the 10 minute time to fully dry may sound like a lot, if you think about it – a 1 coat black peel off base eliminates the need for base coat and 1-2 coats of creme – which would run about the same amount of time or longer.
This is a water based peel off base coat that last much longer than the latex peel offs, plus they removed the need for a base color under your glitters.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 100 US / 10 UK
Jior Couture | Avian Kaleidoscope (Magnetic)

Description: This month’s scent for the KBShimmer Sugar Scrub is Freesia! It starts with that distinctly bright and floral freesia note. Hints of muguet (lily of the valley) and white musk deepen the tone.
I really pick up the freesia and white musk scents and it’s really good.
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.
Price: $10.00 | Cap: None

Inspiration: Ghibli

This month we have a trio of 20g Lotion of Immortality jars.
Soot Sprite Shenanigans – Happy little helping hands, just add candy! Includes notes of sweetened fruits including pear, kiwi, raspberry, grape, and peach, plus a hint of jasmine and lily.
To my nose, this is a light, candy sweet lotion. Reminds me of NERDS candy almost with a very slight floral undertone.
She Likes My Spark – Perfectly toasted marshmallows and burning embers. Includes notes of ooey-gooey toasted marshmallows with mellow hints of burning wood.
This one surprised me. It smells like a campfire that has fizzled out, that smokey scent mixed with wet wood – like it was put out by water, and a very light hint of marshmallows.
Keeper of the Forest – Gentle rainfall as you rest in a hidden tree hollow. Includes notes of forest foliage and a hint of cedar.
Very unisex and earthy. It has the forest greenery scent and I can definitely detect the cedar.

Price: $10.00 | Cap: 300 US / 15 UK
Luna Wax | Butterfly Garden
Inspiration: Inspired by Butterflies eating fruit
Description: Can I just say – I LOVE this style of wax? It’s super cute. Butterfly Garden is a scoopable wax scented in Pineapple, Strawberry and Coconut with little wax butterflies, Fruit on a bed of “grass” and “dirt.”
This particular wax smells almost like a tropical smoothie to me. The pineapple and coconut are the more dominant scents to my nose and I barely detect the strawberry. The coconut is probably the scent I notice first. It’s very soothing and really well done.
You will get the little shovel scoop with purchase as well.
Price: $10.00 | Cap: 45

My Indie Polish | Dahlias For Days (Thermal)
Inspiration: Beautiful dahlias that my son bought me for our garden.
More from Tanya: My son has autism helped in coming up with a colour concept for this thermal beauty. He is now 13 and the things that he likes aren’t generally what other people like.

This colour is almost an exact match

Inspiration:Sunflowers

To my nose, this has an earthy scent and rain type scent mingled together. I am detecting an underlying fruity scent that I want to say is pineapple like, but it’s faint for me and I cannot put my finger on what it is. It’s tropical though. Definitely an interesting scent, but it’s very unisex and calming.

Inspiration: Fawn in Spring
Description: Vibrant Vinyls will have 2 listings this month. One listing will be this base coat and top coat DUO while the other will be JUST the top coat. So you can buy both or just the top coat.
Both are in the scent Flora & Fawna, which is a truly complex fragrance blend of juicy apples, orange slices, ripe peach, and pineapple spun with floral middle notes of lily of the valley, jasmine, and violet balanced on woodsy fresh oak leaves and oak moss.
My nose picks up Lily of the Valley and Jasmine with a bit of the citrus and orange to mellow out the floral.
Double Bond:
This revolutionary 2 in 1 base coat is formulated with proteins to fill imperfections and ridges on the surface of the nail leaving you with a smooth even base ready for polish. Vibrant Vinyls added sticky bond base coat to the ridge filler to grab onto your polish and keep it there.
Fast & Hard can be used over wet polish and provides a glossy shine. Plus it plays well with stamping if you “float” the top coat over the design.
Price: $15.00 for the set or $8.00 for the Top Coat alone (will be separate listings) | Cap: 100 US / 50 UK Duo Sets & 150 US / 50 UK Single Top Coats

Description: Decaying Beauty is a vampy thermal that transitions from black (cold) to dark red (warm) and contains a variety of color shifting flakes and red to gold to green ultrachrome chameleon flakes. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
I did the photos a little different because the deep color made a transition shot harder to see it was a thermal. My index finger is in warm state which the rest are cold.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 75
Polish Pickup February 2020 | Flora & Fauna
As I said at the beginning – I still have minimum of 6 more items I’m waiting on, but there might be a couple more. As they arrive I’ll add them into the post.
Once again, I’m still waiting on Bluebird Lacquer, Girly Bits (2 items), Grace-full Nail Polish, Luna Wax, and Emily de Molly.
Overall for February – I was surprised at all the green. I shouldn’t be.. it’s FLORA and fauna – but I don’t feel like we see much green in Polish Pickup. For once – purple did not dominate the color scheme, but there’s still enough sprinkled in that purple lovers will be happy.
Cool tones dominated – primarily blue and greens.

I’m really craving that Hawaiian Punch scent!!! I was addicted to fruit punch when I was a kid. My drug of choice was Hi-C, both the Fruit Punch and ECTO Cooler!!
Let It Beetle looks really fun. This is my first month ~ excited for the shop to open and hoping I can get some of my other favorites :)
It’s always so hard to pick a number one! I think I’m going to have to go with Ethereal- Ophidia. Amazing shiftiness!
I always love Quixotic’s colors & this month is no exception
I am totally excited for Moon Shine Mani and the Kbshimmer! I may have to get a thermal, but which to choose, which to choose!
What a fabulous blog! I love all detail you put into this! THank you! My #1 polish is Flirtin’ cosmetics. After that, theres a few more im interested in. I’m definitely getting the Cuticula top and base coat. I’ve never tried it and I’ve heard so many great things. Not a better opportunity than fruit punch!
Vanessa Molina is my #1 choice this month.
My for sure buys are Lucky 13 Lacquer’s Soot Sprite Shenanigans, KB Shimmer’s Let It Beetle, & Pahlish’s Breath of the Wild.
Alter Ego’s Daffodils In The Leaves is a favorite.
I really LOVE seeing your blog post every month! It either helps me narrow down my list…..or most likely add to it!! I know it takes a LOT of time & effort, but just know that a lot of us can’t wait to read it ❤❤❤
As far as a favorite…Mary has been on a roll for a long time, so Quixotic Polish is first!!! After that, I haven’t narrowed my list down completely! I’m sure it’ll be way too high and I’ll have to make the hard cuts!!! Thanks for your hard work!
Soot sprite shenanigans! I saw it and I knew I had to have it. Thank you for the detailed post!
Vanessa Molina, Cadillacquer, Rogue Lacquer and Zombie Claw
Phew, it’s hard to narrow down, but my #1 must have is Glisten and Glow Pomegranate Duo. I love their cuticle oils and removers, and this scent sounds right up my alley, especially after your descriptions, Lisa!
It’s funny that I cannot decide on my #1 polish. I almost thought it would be Rogue (that name, now?! lol) but now that I see the polish inspired by lilacs I am torn between the two.
At this moment, my #1 is Zombie Claw!
I think ill get KBShimmer sugar scrub, the smell sounds wonderful~
I must have By Vanessa Molina | Ocean Is Magic (Thermal)!
Heather’s Hues is at the top of my list!
I am excited to get the understory by Vapid! I have been looking for a new thermal and I can’t wait! Your photos are life thank you for all you do
I’m most excited for the Pahlish and Night Owl Lacquer. My wishlist is soooo long this month.
Looking at these pictures and reading the descriptions makes me want even more than what I was scrolling through to look for!
I cannot wait for Esmaltes da Kelly’s Butterfly Wings! I picked up Neptune and the Glitter Top coat & base combo last month. They are all fabulous!! There are so many gorgeous choices this month, I don’t know how I’m going to decide! Thank you for your beautiful swatches!
Colores de Carol, Nevermind, and Scofflaw are my must haves this month. Now to narrow down the rest…..
So hard to choose this month! My tops are the Vapid and the Rogue
The thermals this month are rocking for me but I also love the whites with shimmer. Such a long want list for February!
Tough decision, but I think Girly Bits is my top pick.
I’m most looking forward to rouge lacquer. My two favorite colors in ome polish!
Dollish Polish. I’ve never been so enamored with a polish!
I want several things from this month’s offerings, but Freya’s Sanctuary is my top pick this month!
I’m dying for that soot sprite polish from Lucky 13. So cute!
Oh that Cadillacquer is calling my name! So is the Hawaiian Punch collection from Cuticulanailtape!
Polished for Days “Sea-ing is Believing” is at the top of my list.
Great Lakes Lacquer is absolutely top of my list. That delicate pale pink, the shifty shimmer, the inspiration and name from one of my fav Disney movies. It hurts how bad I love this one!
My #1 must have for the month is Colores de Carol’s “Double Trouble”. I’m also craving the Stella Chroma and Penelope Luz offerings. I’m planning to limit myself to just a handful this month!
Thanks for the great post! Wildflower Lacquer’s Twice the Woman is my #1 :)
Vapid :)
Love Stella Chroma and EDK photos love these beauty as well as Cadillacquer polishes.
I HAVE to have Ethereal Lacquer Ophidia.
I haven’t picked up Hit The Bottle before, but I’m really hoping to grab Tiddalik’s Laugh.
If I only get one thing this month it HAS to be Penelope Luz Rose Garden!
This month I’m loving Ocean Is Magic by Vanessa Molina!
Moonflower by blush is at the top of the list for sure.
All of the pinks/purples this month! Have to have Livoliv’s Pride and Passion!!
I’m excited for Vanessa Molina’s (I sincerely apologize if I spelled this wrong) Ocean is Magic!!!! Love the beach, love the ocean and I love the color of this polish!
I need some Vapid!
Pictures make me want to get them all! I’m for sure getting Stella Chroma!!
Your post and photos are amazing! Thank you for the work you put into this! There are so many on my list now! <3
I keep coming back to figure out what I’m gonna wishlist.
Thank You for all your hard work with this. I can see how much work you put into this with your beautiful photos and it helps so much to be able to see them. I look forward to your post every month! My list is so long again for this month!
I need the Vapid!!
Kbshimmer, but this post has now gotten me intrigued by a lot of the indie products
I love the Sassy Sauce polish this month. Really unique!
The Cadillacquer and The Vanessa Molina are both calling my name this month!
I am not usually into blues, but it looks like I’m going to have to pick up Bee’s Knees Lacquer “Look At His Little Boots!”
My number one must have is the Rogue Lacquer! But I also really love the Vanessa Molina and Cadillacquer. And the wax sampler from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited.
It is weird from the FB spoiler posts I thought I would like much more of these than I do, but only about 10 are interesting to me this month, the big glitter particles in so many of them are a turn off to me. My favorite and must have this month is Paint It Pretty Polish – Forget Me Not
I must definitely have the Colores de Carol crelly Double Trouble. It was love at first sight.
Colores de Carol Double Trouble is irresistible.
Penelope Luz has a gorgeous roses polish this month.
The Scofflaw has jumped onto my list; I don’t think I have anything like it!!
The solar one is so cool!
I need the Cadillacquer one so bad!!!
I gotta get a wax sampler from PBU!
The Pahlish is so pretty!
I’m really excited about “sea-ing is believing”.
I Got Lei’d wins for best name! lol The polish is pretty as well. Second place goes to Sucitumi! Beautiful!
Definitely Quixotic, but after all your beautiful swatches I think I’ll try Blush & Necessary Evil for the first time
Polished for Days “Sea-ing is Believing” pops out at me and is first on my list of so many others. Very excited about it.
Breath of the Wild, Nemorachi, Ocean is Magic are must-haves for me!
I love the Blush Lacquer.
The Cameo Colours is really catching my eye this month. A super vibrant green with those flakies!
Ocean is Magic by far!
I’m excited for so many this month! I think I’m most excited for Nevermind, Cupcake, & supernatural!
That Kathleen & Co. is also catching my eye….
Loving floral dreams by graceful
Wildflower lacquer
Penelope Luz – Rose Garden
I am a number one fan of Fast and Hard glossy topcoat, so of course this is my number one thing on my order!!!
Really loving the flakies in the Nailed it, on my list it goes!
Decaying Beauty is pretty cool
Hmmm… SO hard to pick. I think I am going to grab the Hit the Bottle black peelie…It may inspire me to wear my glitter toppers again! Other big faves are Pahlish Breath of the Wild, Top Shelf Lacquer, and Blush Lacquer. It is my birthday month so I get to splurge a little.
Cupcake Bluebonet has to be my favourite, but it was very hard to choose just one.
Vanessa Molina | Ocean Is Magic is simply stunning.
Pretty Beautiful has a neat idea with the wax “candies”. I’m def gonna try to get one of those. Her polish is super fun, too!
I love Poetry Cowgirl Nail Polish | Rainbow Butterfly Unicorn Kitten!
Aaminahs mom
I’m really must have the Stella Chrome lavender Fields Forever and DRK Nails All the pink please
The Cadillacquer is a must have yet again
It’s hard to decide but I think my number one pick is JReine Blooms of serenity.
Another one catching my eye is Supernatural Lacquer – Songspire Tree. Such a beautiful different color
Might have to get Quixotic this month too.
The Cupcake Bluebonnet polish is stunning =D
Twisting Nether is a new maker to me — really looking forward to that gorgeous green thermal
Ooh, I went over your post again and I have to reiterate that there is so much beauty! It’s difficult to choose (and budget glad to support small business though). I really appreciate & love those that have that special touch; G.I.D, thermals/solars, flakies, fragrance, etc. so Fair Maidens, Moonshine Mani, Cadillacquer, V.M (+the toppers & peel-off base coats) are at the top of the wishlist for me too. Thank you for your posts and to the makers for their incredible work. (Sorry for the long post, new to the indie world and just really excited & grateful to PPU/IPU and all involved)
Much l♡ve.
My 2 equal favourites are the Girly Bits and Polished for Days this month.
My fav is DRK, All the pink please
I’m most excited for Rose Garden and Pink Gerbera Daisies. I love this month’s theme!
My #1 must have this month is Twisting Nether Freya’s Sanctuary.

So many beautiful polishes this month. I love Ophidia! Also, I really appreciate the addition of the matte photos.
Quixotic is still my first pick, but every time I look at the list of swatches I add more to the list!
I must have the Penelope Luz Polish.
Woo hoo, let the wish listing begin!
Wish List is open and mine is long. I keep coming back to your post to try and compare what i have to what i want and see which ones are fairly close. I’m constantly changing my mind lol. Love this post to help me decide
It’s so handy to see all these swatches in one post!! I absolutely need to have the Dollish Polish. The colour is just so incredible!
Under the Cherry Blossom Tree!!
I love Ethereal Ophidia!
I keep changing what is my most wanted but I’d say EDK has me dreaming of being mesmerized in the sun on my Spring break trip
I’m looking forward to hit the bottle and rogue lacquer.
OMG the Polished For Days! Holy crap the flakies!!
All of Necessary, zombie claw- totally between your help and Dels I have 19 items in my wishlist . Lol! Thank you for your hard work
Stella Chroma Lavender fields and Heather’s hues chocolate orchid lotion.
I’m really loving the look of “Butterfly Wings.” I have a soft spot for glitter-bomb polishes. :)

I think I finally narrowed down my choices. And the winners are If You Can’t Say Something Nice, Let It Beetle, Understory, and Sea-ing is Believing.
Really loving the base color of the rogue. Of all my purples I don’t think I have one like it!
I must have that quixotic beauty!!!
Love all the work the swatchers do for PPU. I always refer here and and Del’s videos to help make my decisions. Thank you!
Thanks for doing this amazing post! I love seeing so many items in one place! My favorite since the spoiler thread has been the Supernatural Singapore Tree. It’s totally unique to my collection.

Rogue Lacquer has been my #1 must-have since the first picture I ever saw of it!!
You make me want to add more to my PPU wishlist again. But I think Quixotic’s Ready for This Jelly followed very closely by the sadly unswatched Danglefoot Dinosaurs Eat Man, Women Inherit the Earth.
My must have is Grace-ful polish Floral Dreams.
My #1 this month are Fair Maiden, Off the Hook by Jessica, VapidWax and Luna Wax
I regret daily not grabbing Long Live the King. No way am I missing Sea-ing is Believing!

I am really digging Sassy Cats Lacquer, Bare Necessities this month.

Vapid’s Understory in my life! And at least 6 others so far.
I found another must have or three. My wishlist keeps growing each day.
My list is still growing. Just added Quixotic! The colors are amazing. Plus Many many others
I would love to try the Glisten and Glow cuticle remover pen because I’ve never tried cuticle remover before. Shame on me! The scent sounds yummy as well.
Love your swatches! I can’t wait to get my hands on the Cuticula Duo and Confection, that scent sounds amazing!!
There are lots that are on my wish list this month! PFD, KBShimmer, EDK, Glisten & Glow, Lollipop Posse, Nailed It, and Soothing Soul
Bees knees is the bomb. Love DRK too
I am also thinking about Dollish. For some reason this month is the hardest to choose so far.
Ah, and of course Baroness X Acetone Antidote is a must. For the first time I started using acetone containing nail polish remover because adding the scent and oils makes all the difference to me. I cannot stand the smell of acetone so I love to have it “de-poisoned” lol
The greens are so pretty this month :) I’m going to have to pick up Penelope Luz’s Rose Garden
Nailed It offering this month is great!
Cupcake, Colored De Carol, Glisten & Glow, Polished for Days!
I already have twenty on my wishlist, but my #1 so far is Vanesa Molina Ocean is Magic!!!
Painted Polish is looking really good. I love anything Potter! Lexi’s polishes are usually top of the list every month!
The sweet heart polish and vapid nail sauce have been added to my list!
Ethereal Lacquer’s polish this month is stunning.
Cadillacquer | Blue Poppy
Rogue Lacquer Succitumi Baby!
I really need Ocean is Magic!

Oh man I didn’t realize I could comment more than once! I am really exited for ethereal’s polish! the glow of it is so pretty.
I was blown away by live swatches of Jreine Blooms Of Serenity!
So friggin stoked for ophidia. Very unique color.
Quixotic is my #1 but I’ve got to stop looking over all these gorgeous swatches because I keep adding more to my list
Glitter majesty: top shelf lacquer
Besides all the amazing polishes I’m also looking forward to picking up the sugar scrub by KBShimmer. It will be great for a self care moment!
Ginger Fizz Boutique’s Fairy Godmothers is at the top of my list for waxes to purchase this month
So many on my wish list but two that have really caught my eye are the Polished for Days and Danglefoot – I didn’t see them in your post though? Unless I missed them?!
Great Lakes Lacquer and Kathleen!
The Girly Bits polish and pen is super cool. I love how the glitters in the pen match the polish!
I love the Glisten and Glow! So many pretty ones this month. :)
Colors de Carol and Vapid
Nvr Enuff’s Bioluminescent Algae is really cool and unique to my collection.
February is all about KB Shimmer for me. The Freesia Scrub and Let It Beetle are my absolute must haves.
EDK- Butterfly Wings
My number one pick for this month is the Supernatural Lacquer Songspire Tree. It was very hard to choose though. So many gorgeous polishes this month
The Moonbow Wax looks amazing!
I can’t wait to get Danglefoot’s Tricera-Topper and Heather’s Hues’ La Mesange de Sophie
I can wait to get Polish Molish the Black Stork into my cart!!!
Flirtin’s Glofish is a definite for me. Love the ocean jelly color.
Life uh, finds a way!
Vapid Lacquer is a must have.
I think this is one of my hardest months to narrow down! I still have like 16 items on my wishlist, and I’ll need to cut that to about a 1/3. I think my must haves are the fair maiden and the crystal knockout topper.
I need that KBShimmer!!!
I love Zelda, so I’m, eyeing that Pahlish based on Breath of the Wild.
Blue poppy!!
Love the color of ophidia.
The Demiflux pill box is amazing this month!
My #1 is the Pahlish, so glad it inspired a whole collection
It has to be Quixotic! Thanks for the beautiful swatches
I am not a pink lover, but Polished For Days, Sea-ing is Believing is too good to pass up!
That drk!!!
Vapid. Understory
Grabbing the Lucky 13 products for my niece. I cannot wait to give them to her! Thanks for the giveaway, Lisa
I tried to find something.. maybe Savannah Lacquer’s Beetle Mania.
I am having so much trouble shortening my wishlist. I think I am most excited about bioluminescent algae, but this month is tough to choose from.
Top choice is Cadillacquer!
Still loving Alchemy Lacquers!
The Stella Chroma polish looks so shifty. It’s hard for me to resist a multichrome!!
NOL is calling out to me!
[…] it is not unusual for me to need an extra coat, but you would likely need three for opacity. I know Cosmetic Sanctuary had full opacity with three thin coats. It can also be layered over black or other dark […]
I think my top choice would have to be “Soot Sprite Shenanigans.” There are a lot of awesome choices this month though!
penelope luz looks great this month too!
Drk!
#1 is All the Pinks
WOW, I LOVE February 2020! My favorite has to be Goldfish though.
