Press Samples of the Polish Pickup July 2020 | Rewind
Disclosure: I am a paid employee of Polish Pickup for their Social Media. While this post isn’t sponsored, I am an employee of their shop
Okay, this post is WAY later than planned, but it’s finally getting started. This first post will be the Polish Pickup July 2020 Rewind for Polish Pickup Shop. There will be a second post which will cover the Rewind for what will be available in maker’s shops as well, but that will probably be up this weekend. I wanted to keep them separate to avoid too much confusion.
So I wasn’t going to dig through and find every polish I’ve previously done for Polish Pickup that was coming back. This is kind of my low-key month so I can take a little time off and decompress. Jokes on me, because even though I didn’t dig through and find each bottle of polish – it was anything but a low key month. We are selling our house, I am doing job interviews (which are going really well!) and tax season ends July 15th. So it’s been crazy.
I went through and grabbed photos from previous posts that I’ve done that are back for July. For full disclosure – I’m short on time, so I am straight copy/pasting info for this post. This is more a “What’s coming back!” style post and not a real review type post. Within each copy/paste job – I will hyper link the original review post. Just click “Original review” and you’ll be taken to that magical post.
The majority of these are 3 thin coats in application. It’s been a long time for some – but I generally do 3 coats. I never do 4 coats for Polish Pickup – so expect each polish to be 2-3 coats max.
Some of these items were resent due to a change in ingredients. Those changes will be noted if I was made aware of them.
As always, I do suggest checking out all swatch photos (usually a variety are in the shop) because while I do the best I can, sometimes my photos are just off and some colors don’t like to pick up correctly.
This is an EXTREMELY photo heavy post. I think during upload it said around 650 photos. 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.
Let’s get to it.

Inspired by We’re pulled inspo from both sides of the theme, sweet purple figs (flora) and honey from bees (fauna). February 2020 – Flora & Fauna
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!
Recommended Use:
Shake the vial and add the full bottle (.5oz) to 6-8oz of acetone. You can add the vial to more or less (down to 4oz of acetone, no less due to IFRA regulations). These are just suggestions for optimal scent and protection from acetone, the ratio can vary due to personal preference.

Inspired by One of my favorite treats growing up was animal crackers and if you were lucky, you got the iced variety. Pink iced animal crackers are so delicious but they are also so cute!

Animal Crackers Wax Brittle is made with a soy wax blend that produces a strong scent with a lasting fragrance. Just place the desired amount in your wax warmer and enjoy a yummy sweet scent reminiscent of the circus—sugar cookies, cotton candy, butter crème and vanilla bean and fluffy white marshmallow.

Hand & Body Sugar Scrub by KBShimmer | After the Rain
Inspired by Rainbows. June 2019 | Weather
I’ve never liked rain as much as my husband Jason does, but I do love sun showers. It makes me so happy to see those magical drops of rain still falling as the sun peeks out, becoming tiny prisms that reflect and fill the sky with rainbows. On a recent trip, I managed to capture photos of a double rainbow after a sun shower and knew that it was the perfect time to bring back my rainbow sugar scrub! Boldly swirled with seven different colors, After The Rain sugar scrub is a blend of sweet melons, juicy raspberries, cool lemonade, fresh cracked coconut and raw sugarcane – if rainbows had a scent, I imagine they would smell like this! We highly suggest that you do not let this sit in a hot mailbox, as the oils will float to the top. If that happens, let it cool, then scoop farther down into the jar to get to the desired amount of sugar for use.

After it’s shaken up, you can tilt and flip the bottle, watching the snowflakes move, and how they move the other glitter as they fall.

Polish Pickup July 2020 | Rewind for Polish Pickup Shop
Whew! Sorry I’m on a tight schedule and I’m all over the place right now – so I am sorry I didn’t have this up earlier.
As for the selection – I think the themes that most makers brought back (from what I received) were from Magic & Alchemy, Flora & Fauna, and At The Carnival. All were really good themes.
I will have a second post up covering all the offerings that will be in maker’s shops this month that I have reviewed in the past.
Where To Buy: Polish Pickup Shop
Shop Dates: July 3rd at 11am EST through July 6th at 11:59pm EST
Happy shopping!
