May 2020 | Candy Land

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

Good morning and happy Friday! I’m trying to get through this post today, so here’s hoping there’s minimal distractions. Nick is working next to me and on conference calls, so I had to switch to my quieter keyboard. I generally use a mechanical keyboard and I don’t think his coworkers want to hear CLACK CLACK CLACK as I type this post out. I type fairly fast, so the constant clacking might drive them all nuts. However – with the quieter keyboard, I’m not used to it and the feel of the keys, so here’s hoping I don’t have too many typing errors. Jacob is working on his school work, so only disruptions in the post would be when he needs help.

Today we’re looking at the Polish Pickup May 2020 Candy Land lineup!

Right now I have 111 items for this post, and as far as I know -I have 4 more in transit. Once arrived – I’ll be adding in Leesha’s Lacquer, NeverMind Polish, Wandering Songbird and Vapid Wax. USPS is running a bit slower – and although most of them shipped this past Monday they aren’t here yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

This month brings us a TON of purples, thermals and a good amount of neon to close neon shades. My skintone is all over the place in photos because neons make me look tan, and others I tried to correct color and since I’m not that great at it, my skin tone is either lighter, darker, redder or bluer. It is what it is.

Tax season ended 9 days ago so I’m back to a normal schedule. I actually have today off – which is why this post should be up today instead of tomorrow. I have a ton of PTO (Personal Time Off) banked so if I play my cards right, I can schedule it around Polish Pickup to work on some things more. Not like I can really go anywhere anyway.

The theme this month is Candy Land! Not necessarily the game – but some did use parts of the game as inspiration – this is about candy and sweets!

For all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, Sweet & Sour Lacquer Gloss Sauce as top coat (except for the photos showing Esmaltes da Kelly. Cuticula and Vibrant Vinyls), and Night Owl Lacquer Gone Matte Top Coat unless otherwise specified.

Since I leave for work while it’s still semi dark and I get home while it’s still semi dark – I do use artificial lighting for my photos. My current setup uses Glamcor Pro Lights and I use the Elite X model. That is a link for those wanting to look, but it’s not an affiliate link. The brand did send them for me to post on Instagram too though, so it is a press sample (which I posted about 3 months ago)

This is an EXTREMELY photo heavy post. I think during upload it said 699 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, and of course the giveaway at the end.

The May Polish Pickup shop will open May 1st and close May 4th.

Let’s get this going. Nick’s making lunch really quick for us and Jacob hasn’t started his math or Spanish work yet – so I should be uninterrupted for a bit.

Bath Balls by Alter Ego | Lemon Fizz

Inspiration: Inspired by Lemon Fizz candy drop

Description: Lemon Fizz Bath Balls are smaller, non bubbling bath balls that are best for mani and pedi soaks. Each ball is approximately.20 oz (you can see the size in the photo below) and when dropped in water – they release cocoa butter, shea butter and oil to soften your skin. The scent is Lemongrass – so it’s a nice, zingy scent for the water.

These are fragile, so it’s possible some might break in shipping. If they do – you can still use them by just pouring the crumbles into the water as well.

Ingredients: unrefined cocoa butter, unrefined shea butter, castor oil, baking soda citric acid, stearalkronium hectorite, tapioca flour, mica, lemograss essential oil

Price: $5.00 | Cap: 20 US/5 UK

Alter Ego Body Care Products | Lemon Fizz

Inspiration: Inspired by Lemon Fizz candy drops

Description: Lemon Fizz is a cool toned, lemon yellow crelly base loaded with pearl white shimmer. This shade lightly pulls chartreuse in the bottle, but on the nail it’s yellow..

Price: $9.00 | Cap: None

It also contains skincare powerhouses OptiMSM and DMAE, known for their anti-inflammatory, skin healing, and toning properties.

I apply a small dab on each finger at the cuticle line and then massage in. Works beautifully.

The scent is Double Apple and it’s a blend of tart green apple and ripe pineapple. I definitely smell more tart green apple at first, and pineapple lingers after. It’s a very tropical scent and makes me wish I were on a beach.

Acetone Antidote by Baroness X | Violet Sweets

Inspiration: Inspired by Choward’s violet flavored mints and gum.

Description: This month’s scent is Violet Sweets, and it smells just like the violet candy by Choward’s. If you haven’t had it before it smells like violet but has a sweet candy note. I’ve actually never had them before – but if you love violet scents – you will adore this one! To my nose, it’s a sweet but powdery violet scent.

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.

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.

I use a full vial in 10 oz of Zoya Remove+

Price: $ 4.25 | Cap: None

Bee’s Knees Lacquer | Chewnicorn

Inspiration: Inspired by The Chewnicorn from Viva Pinata

Description: Chewnicorn is a pale baby blue polish full of red to green shifting shimmer. This is NOT this bright in person – my lighting really amped the blue to a brighter shade, it is a duller, baby blue in person. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Price: $12.00 | Cap: None

Lip Balm by Bee’s Knees Lacquer | Newtgat

Inspiration: Inspired by the cutest pinata from Viva Pinata, the Newtgat!

Description: Newtgat lip balm is a sheer raspberry colored lip balm with a hint of blue shimmer. I used 3 coats on my lips for the photo below.

I had someone ask why my photos like this are taken in my car – and it’s because I get natural, indirect lighting this way before running into work.

Also I look very tired in this photo because I am.

Price: $5.00 | Cap: None

Beyond the Nail | Lovable Nerds

Inspiration: Inspired by Strawberry and grape nerds candy

Description: Lovable Nerds is a medium purple crelly base filled with white & neon pink hex glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. I had no issue getting glitters out and did not have to fish for them.

Description: Sugar Dahlia is a deep violet jelly base with a soft aqua shift, indigo Aurora shimmers, purple to blue to green iridescent shifting flakes, and red to gold and magenta to teal shifting chrome chameleon flakes. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

This shade dries with a slight texture, but 1 coat of top coat should smooth it just fine.

Price: $11.50 | Cap: None

Bluebird Lacquer | Bows, Knees and Toes All Over Body Balm

Inspiration: Inspired by Jelly beans!

Description: Bows, Knees And Toes is an all over body balm to help smooth rough patches. Works well on elbows, knees and feet especially.

Price: $10.00 | Cap: None

Description: Zombie Rainbow is a grey crelly base with multi colored metalic micro flakes. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Swatcher bottles of this shade were hand mixed, and some of the grey pigment didn’t blend completely. By Dany Vianna assured me that the purchased batch will be blended with a machine and will not have those pigments. I didn’t have any major issues with the pigment, but thought I would mention it.

Price: $11.50 | Cap: 200 US / 10 UK

By Vanessa Molina | Wild Berry (Trithermal)

Inspiration: Part of the Skittles Collaboration. We drew inspiration from the combo pack of Wilb Berry and Tropical flavors. Each maker part of the collaboration choose a different flavor as inspiration. Be sure to check out the other skittles polishes and ‘paint the rainbow’!

Description: Wild Berry is a tri thermal that shifts from a warm purple (cold) to medium blue (warm) to light blue (hot) with violet shimmer and iridescent flakes that flash pink, purple and blue. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

It was incredibly warm in my computer room when I swatched this, so my bottle actually turned the warm blue shade – but it will most likely be purple in the bottle when you receive it. I also have a couple more photos to show all 3 shades. Keeping my hands cold enough to capture all 3 shifts was difficult due to the room temperature.

Price: $13.00 | Cap: None

Cadillacquer | Charlie (Trithermal)

Inspiration: Inspired by the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Description: Charlie is a trithermal that shifts from a deep bluish grey (cold) to a mauve pink (warm) to dusty light purple (hot) with pink to orange to gold iridescent shifting flakes. There are a lot of flakes which can make this polish seem a little thick, but it wasn’t too bad. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Price: $13.50 | Cap: None

Cameo Colours Lacquers | Orange You Glad I Had Chocolate?

Inspiration: Inspired by a photo of beautiful, shimmery chocolate orange flavored gin.

I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Because this shade is intentionally sheer, it can be used as a topper. Used alone, you will see visible nail lines as you can see from my photos.

Price: $11.00 | Cap: 75 US / 5 UK

Colores de Carol | Fizzy POP

Inspiration: Inspired by grape soda

Description: Fizzy Pop is a deep red crelly based multichrome that shifts gold to green to pink to purple to teal, with iridescent chameleon flakes and a subtle, sparse scattered holo. Depending on your lighting this can pop out as a strong purple or magenta mainly and then you see more color shift. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Price: $12.50 | Cap 250 US / 20 UK

Crystal Knockout | Lady Lolly (Thermal)

Inspiration: Inspired by Princess Lolly of Candy Land

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.

Sweet Escape is a a candied effervescent concoction of pink lemon, citron, candied strawberry and lime zest with loads of sugar cane followed with ripe berries.  It’s very sweet and my nose picked up the berries and lemon most. It was almost like a sweet berry lemonade.

Price: $16.00 | Cap: None

Cuticula | Magically Delicious

Inspiration: Inspired by Unicorn Bark

Description: Magically Delicious is a soft purple crelly with gold, royal blue, fuchsia, and green metallic flakes, orange, bright pink, violet, and baby blue holographic micro flakes, and micro gold metallic flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Different Dimension | Cotton Candy

Inspiration: Inspired by Candy

Description: A trio of cuticle oils scented in:

Spun Sugar (cotton candy scented)
Airheads (blue raspberry airhead scented)
Lifesavers (cherry lifesavers scented)

Spun Sugar is my favorite of the 3, but all of them nail the scent profiles. Absolutely delicious! I would have loved to see a pink starburst scent – it’s one of my favorite candy scents, but I’m definitely not complaining with these ones.

All 3 are in twist tube brush applicator pens.

Price: $10.00 | Cap: None

Dollish Polish | Where My Peeps At?

Inspiration: Inspired by Marshmallow Peeps

Description: Where My Peeps At? is a bright turquoise crelly with subtle indigo shimmer, and packed with hot pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple matte micro glitters. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. This shade is a touch darker in person.

Duo Smooth and Shine by Esmaltes da Kelly

Inspiration: None

Description: This is similar to the duo EDK released a couple months ago, but this time it’s not a quick dry top coat (which is why one isn’t purple tinged.) Basically this duo helps with glitter polishes. The cloudier bottle is applied on top of the glitter or “thirsty” polish to help fill in an crevices to smooth the mani. It doesn’t apply cloudy, it applies clear. Then you top with the top coat to seal the mani.

I used Esmaltes da Kelly’s Polish Pickup shade this month as an example. First is the completed mani – and then in order from no top coat to just the filler to the top coat in the photos below.

Price: $15.00 | Cap: None

Esmaltes da Kelly | Skittles Original (Thermal)

Inspiration: Inspired by Skittles Original

Description: Skittles Original is a thermal base that goes from red (cold) to clear (warm) and has red, orange, purple and green matte glitters ranging from micro to medium. I used 3 thin coats and the EDK top coat duo for these photos.

This has a lot of glitter and dries with texture. If you don’t have the duo – then 2 coats of top coat should smooth it just fine.

Price: $12.50 | Cap: 300 US / 20 UK

Ethereal Lacquer | Banana

Inspiration: Inspired by Banana runts

Description: Banana (anyone else saying this like the Minions in their head?) is a bright and sunny, banana yellow with a red, copper to green shifting shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Fancy Gloss | Speckled Eggs

Inspiration: Inspired by Robin’s egg candy

Description: Speckled Eggs is a light lavender like violet crelly with a mix of blue and red glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Won’t even lie – I’m so used to Fancy Gloss doing thermals, I tried heating my nails up for photos and then realized it was just a glitter crelly.

Price: $10.50 | Cap: 150 US / 15 UK

Ginger Fizz Boutique | Sugar Rush

Inspiration: “Who doesn’t love candy? I still remember going to my uncle’s little, local grocery store every week with some change earned from chores. My sister and I would stand behind that glass counter forever trying to decide which candies we would buy. This was the day of penny candy, so it took a while and we would come home with our bags full. One of our favorites was the beautiful rock candy sticks. To this day I still buy rock candy, not so much to eat, but I love them for parties. I not only love them to decorate with (they come in every color), but I love to put them in drinks like champagne. What’s your favorite thing to do with rock candy?”

Description: These wax shapes are come in a variety of colors and contain a shimmery mica that can be seen when melted. Each bag of wax shapes contain several pieces of wax that resembles rock candy crystals. This wax brittle is scented in a sugary sweet and mouth watering blue raspberry scent.

Everyone in our house (myself, Nick and my 14 year old son) love this scent! It is sugary sweet – but it’s a “happy” scent that flows well throughout the home.

Price: $6.00 | Cap: 75 US / 25 UK

Cuticule Remover Pen and Cuticle Oil Pen Duo | Glisten & Glow

Inspiration: Now and Later Candy

Description: Side note: My step dad used to have a Costco sized tub of these on his counter, and my sisters and I used to sneak them, but they knew when it was just me doing it because I always left the yellow ones.

“Now and Later” is a custom blend of strawberry, fruit punch, apple and grape and both products are scented the same.

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: None

Glisten & Glow | Now and Later

Inspiration: As a child I loved Now and Later candies! My parents and I would take road trips to Maine to visit my Mom’s side of the family and I always got 4 little pieces as a special, sweet treat!

Description: Now and Later is a white based glitter crelly packed with various size and shape glitters in pink, purple, red, yellow and neon green. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Price: $12.50 | Cap: 250 US / 15 UK

Inspiration: Inspired by the sweet and stunning candy landscapes created by artist Pip & Pop

Description: Sugar Crush is a dark turquoise (cold) to sheer light turquoise (hot) thermal packed with a rainbow of iridescent flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

This shade is a bit greener and darker in person.

Because the transition is on the subtle side, it looks more like a nail gradient. It’s beautifully done and I like the gradient look.

Price: $12.50 | Cap: None

WiTS Lotion by Heather’s Hues | Gummi Bears

Inspiration: Inspired by those cute and squishy gummy candies

Description: Gummi Bears scent is a delicious and fruity blend with top notes orange zest, lemon sorbet, middle notes of pear nectar, raspberry and blueberry and bottom notes of vanilla bean and sugar crystals. My nose actually picks up a bit of banana too – which isn’t in the scent profile.

WiTs body lotion is a fast absorbing body lotion that doesn’t leave my hands greasy. The texture is light and creamy and a little goes a long way.

Ingredients: WITS Lotion creamy body lotion contains avocado oil, sweet almond oil, rice bran oil, babassu oil, jojoba oil, oat extract oil, buckthorn extract, kukui nut oil, chia seed oil, vitamin E, vegetable glycerin, BTMS-50 (emulsifying wax), stearic acid, shea butter, aloe vera, distilled water, and Optiphen (preservative). Scented options contain skin-safe fragrance oil. Please store WITS Lotion in a cool place and use within 8-12 months as the natural ingredients do have a shelf life.

Price: $6.50 | Cap: 35 US / 5 UK

Hit the Bottle Polishes | Electro Candypop (Stamping Polish)

Inspiration: Inspired by Skullcandy headphones in a bright turquoise – aqua colour.

Description: Electro Candypop is a turquoise creme stamping polish with a soft shimmer. This can be worn as a regular polish (I did) but it has a high probability of staining due to pigmentation, so it’s not advised by the maker. My nails don’t stain super easy, so I took a chance and experienced no staining. It stamps beautifully.

It’s brighter and more green leaning in person.

Price: $8.00 | Cap: 200 US / 10 UK

Inspiration: Inspired by Cotton Candy

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.

This month’s scent is Spun Sugar and to me it smells exactly like Pink Sugar perfume (if you’re familiar with it) it’s cotton candy but has a slightly musky type scent.

This scrub is a swirl of pastel colors with stunning holo effect sprinkled on top.

Price: $10.00 | Cap: None

Soap Frosting by Skyline Soapworks | Cotton Candy Buttercream

Inspiration: Inspired by the bright colors and sweet scents of cotton candy

Description: Nourish and pamper your skin with our Buttercream Soap Frosting! This whipped soap will help keep your skin from drying out and give it the moisture it needs.

This product can be used as a body wash, hand soap, or a shaving cream. Apply a small amount to a washcloth or loofah and lather and rinse as usual.

This smells just like you would think cotton candy buttercream frosting would. It’s sweet, but the vanilla notes kind of cut the sweetness a bit to smooth it out.

It does have a nice lather to it, but it won’t be as much as commercial soaps produce. I’ve used almost my entire jar already and it smells and feels incredible.

Skyline Soapworks | Cotton Candy Artisan Dip Powder (Solar & Glow In The Dark)

Inspiration: Inspired by Fluffy pink and blues of cotton candy

Description: Skyline Soapworks brings another dip powder this month, and this month’s is cute and playful.

Cotton Candy dip powder is a sheer pink base powder loaded with pink and blue dot glitters mixed with bubblegum pink micro flakes and a white UV sensitive glitter that also glow. In the sun, it alters to a deeper purple color and it glows white in the dark.

This is my second attempt at dip powder and I’m getting quick at it. For all steps I used, I went by this Youtube Video, and I do suggest you take a look as she’s very helpful – especially for beginners like me.

This is for the powder only. I do have a 3 piece nail dip liquids set I bought on Amazon before, which is what I used with this powder. For the first time though – it was a lot easier than I thought. No “curing” with a lamp and nothing was overly difficult for me.

The steps are as follows (and you do 1 nail at a time for each “coat”)

Apply base – this smells like nail glue. Immediately after applying the base, dip in the powder, raise finger and “tap” off excess powder. You might have to flick or tweezer off some dots that hang beyond the nail. Then use a fluffy brush to remove additional excess.

Rinse and repeat for 2 more coats.

Apply activator to each nail. File and buff each nail. Apply activator again and wait 5 minutes. Then top coat.

It seems like a lot, but it actually moves quite quickly.

It’s a super shifty lilac base but with shifts to pink and blue too. It’s got a gorgeous sort of foil finish, similar to the finish on People’s Prince. I’m also loving the Quixotic polish and the thermal, solar and scented polish by MTK

Tina Boggs April 25, 2020 - 9:42 am

I really want to get my hands on What Addiction Polish | Candy Dreams. I love girlie!

Jill April 25, 2020 - 12:16 pm

I love the look of the nail hoot polish
And the cuticle cream from anchor and heart

Teri Wells April 25, 2020 - 4:27 am

I’m excited about the Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Candy Shop Wax Sampler. Last month was my first time ordering and I really wanted the wax sampler but it would put in the first 15 mins. This time I’m going to try to order early!

Amberly Leverich April 25, 2020 - 5:43 am

I am a sucker for corals, so I will pick up the KBshimmer for sure! And so many pretty thermals this month, too

Bonnie April 24, 2020 - 7:29 pm

Possibly the best theme ever???

Bonnie McCawley April 24, 2020 - 7:31 pm

Should probably add the candy/sweets themed plate is at the top of my list!

MaudQuickpaw April 25, 2020 - 6:29 am

I’ve got to say, I was a bit hesitant about this month’s theme, but the polishes are really beautiful this time around! Great work makers! I’m really digging Charlie and anything with floating glitter this time around.

Katie D. April 24, 2020 - 9:16 pm

Cupcake Polish looks incredible! I am definitely picking that one up! Thanks for this blog, it really helps me to make my list!

Kelly S April 25, 2020 - 10:21 pm

I also can’t wait for Cadillaquer’s Charlie!

Samantha S April 24, 2020 - 7:41 pm

I’m gonna need Magically Delicious.. it’s gorgeous and I don’t have anything like it!

Julie Jacek Bookmiller April 24, 2020 - 9:02 pm

I am so excited for my 1st PPU! I am a stamping devotee looking to branch out. So far my must have is Crystal Knockouts Lady Lolly polish. I am even playing Candyland with my 6 year old during our extended home stay.

Chantal April 24, 2020 - 7:42 pm

I fully had the intention to skip this month, but then I saw all the polish swatches coming through the past couple weeks, and now I’m in trouble! I definitely have my eye on the Glisten & Glow polish and the Necessary Evil polish. However, I have a lot more on my wish list!

LuAnn Taylor April 26, 2020 - 6:54 am

I need MTK Design’s Dipped in a Dream. I don’t have anything like it and must have it!

Q April 24, 2020 - 7:43 pm

Limey Beans by Fair Maiden

Pikake April 24, 2020 - 7:46 pm

Tiffany April 24, 2020 - 7:54 pm

Several I’m excited about! If I had to pick ONE top one I guess maybe the Nailed It one? But a few others would be Quixotic, Lucky 13 Lacquer, Vapid, and Night Owl!

Christie B April 24, 2020 - 7:59 pm

Loving all the bright colors the month!!! Will definitely get Necessary Evil.

Nan Brown April 24, 2020 - 7:59 pm

So many gorgeous polishes and everyone did an incredible job with the theme. Narrowing down my mile long wish list is going to be challenging.

Laura Chapman April 24, 2020 - 7:59 pm

Lovely swatches as always! Definitely picking up Lollipop Posse and 1 or 2 others. I have to be good. Haha Last month really hurt. ‍♀️

Kristen April 24, 2020 - 7:59 pm

Great job!

Jen Mitchell April 24, 2020 - 8:00 pm

Number one must have is Love Apple. If a polish can make me fall in love with a magnetic, it’s gonna be this one ❤️

Natalie Davis April 24, 2020 - 8:01 pm

This is by far the hardest month to narrow down. Vapid is a must.

Cheri M April 24, 2020 - 8:02 pm

The fair maiden and the vapid – can’t decide!

Leah Marie April 24, 2020 - 8:04 pm

Thank you, Lisa! I always look forward to your blog post, and I SO appreciate all your hard work. My favorites for this month are NOL, Kathleen & Co, and Rogue, but my #1 is probably NOL. I love when Lindsay does a good flakie bomb!

Jena E. April 24, 2020 - 8:14 pm

I always need kbshimmer’s polish every month!

Jena E. April 26, 2020 - 10:08 am

Nova April 24, 2020 - 8:37 pm

I have four purples on my list so far…. last month it was all blues, this month it’s all purples! I think I might treat myself to some lotions this time around too. My must have is Lollipop posse! The depth in that polish is insane!

Angelina Rohde April 26, 2020 - 6:43 am

My top pick is the Dreamland. I love greens the most

Cassandra Schiesser April 24, 2020 - 8:39 pm

Definitely Glisten & Glow and Vapid… can’t ever get enough of these two!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Jessica Burright April 24, 2020 - 8:40 pm

Well on the polish side my number one item is the Quixotic polish because it is so pretty. On the indie side I am going to say the wax sample from Pretty Beautiful Unlimited because she comes up with some good scents and they have an amazing throw I can have my wax warmer on in my room and smell the scent from the living room which is down the hall from my room

Brittany Branch April 24, 2020 - 8:47 pm

Do you only use one piece at a time when you melt them? Or use a combo?

Samantha M. April 24, 2020 - 8:41 pm

I’m pretty in love with Charlie from Cadillacquer. Never bought a thermal before :)

Brittany Branch April 24, 2020 - 8:44 pm

It’s my birthday on the 1st and I really want to snag the soap dish!! It’s the perfect birthday present to myself lol. I also think the Vapid is a must have.

Excited for Glisten & Glow!

Keely R April 24, 2020 - 9:06 pm

Penelope Luz’s Love Apple is at the top of my list. I’ve been dying for a pretty red polish and that’s just stunning. This might be my favorite theme yet!

Jessica L April 24, 2020 - 9:08 pm

There are so many gorgeous polishes this month but I think my top one is Penelope Luz Love Apple. I die for that red.

So many of them! Particularly love the Nailed It Nail Polish though!

Leesha April 24, 2020 - 11:02 pm

I must have JReine’s glowy neon grren! Among way too many others.

Danielle L April 24, 2020 - 11:11 pm

This is my first PPU and I was going to stick with brands I’d already heard of but I am making an exception for the thermal from By Vanessa Molina, it’s so pretty!

Fingerweapons April 24, 2020 - 11:18 pm

Omg I don’t know which to choose, they’re all so beautiful. Maybe Dollish because I love crellies!

Angelina rohde April 24, 2020 - 11:31 pm

My wishlist is loooong this month but my heart skipped a beat when seeing the Dreamland lacquer.

Rae April 25, 2020 - 3:12 pm

I’m so excited for the Fair Maiden, Penelope Luz, and What Addiction? polishes and really so many more. It’s going to be difficult to narrow it down this month!

Shannan April 24, 2020 - 11:36 pm

Kbshimmer!

Trisha Law April 24, 2020 - 11:39 pm

Sonia April 25, 2020 - 12:14 am

I love the Cuticula stuff Becomong a big fan already! Just dipping my toes in the world of Indie Brands and already loving it!

Karen B April 25, 2020 - 12:25 am

The Quixotic

Priscilla April 25, 2020 - 12:29 am

I’m working very hard on keeping my order this month small after a very large order last month which I excused by saying I would skip this month altogether, oops. As a result, though, everything on my list is required to be a must that cannot be passed, and I definitely have more than one thing.

Anyway, if I had to pick just one to answer the question then Necessary Evil is a good choice. I added this polish to my maybe list when it was just an idea in the spoilers thread (no swatches) because I thought Sugar Skulls was a brilliant inspo. I saw it for the first time on the post. It didn’t simply live up to the idea, it surpassed what I had imagined. An absolute must have.

Carolyn Spengler April 25, 2020 - 12:35 am

Must have the KB Shimmer. Dammit those flakies are EVERYTHING!!

Valeria Zakolioukina April 25, 2020 - 12:53 am

Vapid

Chris R April 25, 2020 - 12:59 am

I have 4 “really wants” on my list – KB Shimmer – Fruit Slices, Yummy Tummy, Penelope Luz – Love Apple, Ethereal – Banana, and Cadillacquer – Charlie. However, it’s a toss up between KB Shimmer – Fruit Slices, Yummy Tummy, Penelope Luz – Love Apple as my must have. Thanks for all the swatches Lisa!!

Melissa April 25, 2020 - 1:00 am

Can’t wait for all the crellys and Vapid Lacquer Candy Paint!

Stephanie G. April 25, 2020 - 7:56 am

Love the Painted Polish this month!

Kathleen April 25, 2020 - 7:57 am

Last month – I won’t buy anything for May. Candy sounds boring. This month – I want them all. This is the best theme ever.

My most surprising favorite would be What Addiction. In the bottle it looks ok but on it’s so beautiful.

Betsy April 25, 2020 - 8:10 am

Thank you for the wonderful swatches and honest commentary!

Sara M April 25, 2020 - 8:49 am

The 90s candy land board game is my favorite, Definitely getting Mr mint, and Lady Lolly

Meigan Cooper April 25, 2020 - 8:52 am

Hi, thank you for taking all those photos, it really helps to see all the swatches! My favorite in the bunch, well there are several. But my top fav is Cuticula’s Magically Delicious, I just love the dusty purple with all those colorful metallic shreds. Thanks again!

Emily Batdorf April 25, 2020 - 8:59 am

I am most interested in the soy-based nail polish remover. I tend to soak my polish off, anyway, because I don’t like scrubbing back and forth and getting polish in my cuticles. I am wondering how much of a difference it will make, if I use acetone on a clean up brush, anyway, but I’d be curious about trying it. Goodness knows my skin is always dry!

Corrine Loftus April 25, 2020 - 9:06 am

I’m loving MTK and Night Owl!

Natalie Boes April 25, 2020 - 9:28 am

I just discovered Polish Pickup, it will be my first time ordering. I liked so many but have to limit myself to 3 ONLY! Im very excited for Painted Polish – Sucker for Sprinkles, All her polishes look super cute! Also, Red Eyed Lacquer – Don’t go Dragon my Hi-Chews looks so unique and bright. And By Vanessa Molina – Wild Berry, as I have never owned a thermal polish

How to pick just a few let alone one as a favorite?!?! I guess if I had to pick one it would be Vapid Candy Paint. Every time I see it I go back to make sure it is still on my wishlist!

Really admire MTK Designs, their creativity in both products this month is outstanding.
Especially their unique polish; combining thermal, solar and scented – stunning! ♡

If I could, the rest of my birthday wishlist would be: Lollipop Posse ♡ Fair Maiden ♡ Emily De Molly ♡ Cuticula ♡ Aurora ♡ WildFlower ♡ Vapid ♡ Pi ♡ NeVerMind ♡ Lyn B Designs ♡ KB Shimmer ♡ Atomic ♡ Danglefoot ♡ Crystal Knockout ♡ + more
Though I can’t get every item on the wishlist, and support each maker like I’d want too. Personally, just need to say – to every person involved in PPU: the creators, makers, swatchers. Thank you, all your hard work isn’t unnoticed, every month you give us all something good to look forward too. Especially during the time we’re in – im very grateful for this special community. Thank you so much, with all love + appreciation
