Polish Pickup February 2025 | Fables & Folklore
Disclosure: I am a paid employee for Polish Pickup. While this post is not sponsored, I do have a relationship with the hosting collaboration shop.
I’m finally able to sit and type out this post… so here we go! Today we’re looking at several items I received for the Polish Pickup February 2025 theme! This month we took on Fables & Folklore as the theme!
To see all items swatched/demonstrated – check out my lengthy Youtube below (with time stamps!)
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.
Let’s jump on in and take a look.
Alchemy Lacquers | We’re All Mad Here
Inspiration: Inspired by the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland
Description: We’re All Mad Here is an olive reen jelly base with scatted pink iridescent shimmer and purple to pink to orange to gold to green (at the edges) magnetic shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Cuticle Oil by BCB Lacquers | Story Grove

Description: This cuticle oil comes in a chubby cuticle oil pen that holds 6ml of oil and has a twist off cap and clicky end to distribute oil.
Story Grove has scent notes of: Sparkling Grapefruit, Fresh Rhubarb, Herbal Mint, Lavender, Vanilla and Thyme.
This is an odd mix to my nose… it’s fresh and herbal like, but it reminds me of a freshly scrubbed kitchen? Weird I know… but I think it’s the herbal mint and lavender that reminds me of that fresh and clean smell. But the vanilla and grapefruit elevate it a bit as well.
Definitely different – if you like a fresh, bright and clean scent – this is a good one.
Price: $8.00 | Cap: 250
Beaux Rêves Lacquer | I Got You Babe

This polish was on the thick side, likely due to the combo of reflective, flakes and magnetic pigment. You may need to add some thinner to get it more to your liking if you don’t particularly care for thicker formulas.

This album will always be so special to me and I am so excited to have created a Polish to capture the essence of Cardigan.
Description: Cardigan is an off white crelly with blue and gold shimmers, packed with gold/red/green iridescent aurora flakies and just a touch of dusty blue metallic flakies.

KBShimmer | Hand & Body Scrub in Spring Blooms
Inspiration: Each year, Mother Nature takes us on a journey through the seasons, transitioning from cold winters and crisp falls to hot summers and the rejuvenating beauty of spring. I imagine that after the muted tones of winter, spring feels like a breath of fresh air for Mother Nature, giving her the chance to paint a vibrant masterpiece. Picture bees dancing among wildflowers and budding trees showcasing their greenery against a brilliant blue sky. Though winter may seem endless, spring always follows.
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.
Spring Blooms fragrance begins with a delicate hint of wild lavender. Sweet apple notes and a touch of lemon leaf harmonize with rich sandalwood and amber undertones.
This is a light floral sweet scent. It reminds me of a type of scent I’d find at Bath & Body works. Not too overpowering but a nice balance of soft floral and the apple sweetens it up.
