Polish Pickup September 2024 | Vintage Halloween
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.
This has been a super busy month… and it’s time for the September 2024 Polish Pickup shop! The theme this month is Vintage Halloween!
This month I have 60 items to share! There is one more (Lucky 13 Lacquer) on the way and it will be here at some point this coming week and I’ll pop it into this post when it arrives.
To see all items swatched/demonstrated – check out my lengthy YouTube below (with time stamps!)
As much as it pains me to say this… my childhood Halloweens are now considered “vintage” so several of these inspos I remember. We’re just going to leave it there.. cause .. I’m still not okay with realizing my childhood falls into the vintage category.
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.

Glisten & Glow | Dry & Prep
Inspiration:
Description: Dry + Prep is actually something I used for my Gel X Nails. Basically on your natural nail plate – apply a thin coat and it helps dehydrate the nail plate, corrects the nail plate pH balance and preps the keratin surface for adhesion of base coats and nail polish (and in my case, the “glue” I use to attach my gel nails) This also allows the nail to be free and clear of any residue and oils that can cause base coats and/or nail polish to lift or chip.
How to use: wash hands and nails with soap and water, dry hands and nails. Apply to the nail with the provided brush. Allow to dry for 30-60 seconds. Repeat this step of you have nails that are prone to lifting or are you oily nail plate. Now, apply base coat or nail polish to the nail. (The brush will spray out and separate into sections, this is totally normal.)

Jior Couture | Highly Flammable
Inspiration: Inspired by 1980’s halloween costumes; they were colorful vinyl costumes paired with plastic character masks. The masks had two small holes for eyes, that never lined up and a small slit for the mouth. The strong smell of chemicals would give you a slight headache and the :swish swish swish” sound of the vinyl could be heard several feet away. It was always so exciting going to the shops to pick out your favorite character costume. They brought us great joy…and they were all toxic and highly flammable!
Description: Highly Flammable is a sheer black tinted jelly base loaded with pink to gold shifting magnetic pigment, black opal glitters and golden yellow glitters. I used 3 thin coats, glitter smoother and glossy top coat for these photos.

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 complex fragrance features warm amber and deep oakmoss notes that evoke the scent of a forest. Gentle hints of cashmere are complemented by fresh citrus and white florals, creating a captivating aroma that invites you to take another whiff. The unisex scent, with its fun orange color, is the perfect way to welcome the fall season.
To my nose, the cashmere notes are stronger for me, as well as the amber. It’s a comforting scent and nice and warm. It’s a nice Fall scent that is outside the whole pumpkin spice thing.
Price: $10.00 | Cap: None
KBShimmer | Restoration Drops (PURCHASED BY ME)
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

This tradition was known as “Going Guising.”

It’s an intensive treatment you can use anywhere (I love it on cuticles of course) but a little goes a long way. If you use too much – it will feel very oily (like a balm would) so start with a little and build up if you need more.

Vapid Lacquer | Nail Elixir in Haunt Me
Inspiration:
Description: Nail Elixir is basically a nail and cuticle oil. This Elixir is Vapid’s blend of oils that come together to create a truly one of a kind nail and cuticle oil. It has weight to the oil itself, it’s enough to truly hydrate the toughest of cuticles and driest of nails while still being able to soak effortlessly into the skin. Once absorbed it’s not greasy and can be rubbed all over the hand for moisture.
This oil contains tamanu oil, a viscus oil that has a light brown sugar scent, this does come through in the scent straight from the bottle. Once it dries down, you will only smell the fragrance left behind. Vapid’s elixir is also heavy in Jojoba oil allowing it to soak into the nail on a molecular level, as jojoba oil is able to easily penetrate the nail and provide and carry other nutrients with it.
Nail Elixir comes in a 1 fl oz squeeze bottle
Haunt Me Nail Elixir – Sticky sweet and chewy, almost fruity, always delicious and oddly nostalgic. Like salt water taffy, but make it a little devilish.

I know I have a ton of blue polishes but I’m still really looking forward to the Penelope Luz and the Lumen
Lumen Midnight Moon is a must have.
I was like, eh, Halloween, not my thing. But I can’t choose! I definitely will get the bluebird one!
A big fave is Kathleen and Co Pumpkin Vibes. Love the shiftinrss!
My favorite this month is Cuticula.
The Kathleen and Co. is a must-have for me this month!
Thanks for the swatches! Monarch, Whatcha, Sugar Bubbles, and the velvet effect magnet are top of my list this month.
soooo many good polishes in this release. first one in a WHILE where i wanted MULTIPLE multiple polishes. i would loveeee feeling ghostly, casper, vintage zombie, and monster mash…just bunch of cute polishes
agonising between Dam Nail Polish How Do I Unread This? and GLL Never Trust The Living
I rather like Dam Nail Polish’s How Do I Unread This?
I really like the Colores de Carol but I hope it’s not too pale! I would prefer it if it was more of a true orange!
My favorite this month (and I think a favorite of a lot of people, I’ve noticed) is Monarch’s “Psycho.” There are SO many great shades this month. I’m having a lot of problems narrowing down my wishlist
I love a good deep red so I’m most excited for Monarch Lacquer’s Psycho! Very tempted by Kathleen & Co’s Pumpkin Vibes too.
I like the Baroness X polish this month. I thought I’d gotten off easy, but now it seems that Bluebird, Cupcake, and Sassy Sauce are also calling to me.
I narrowed down my wishlist to 12 items! It was hard because everything is so amazing this month!
I promised myself not to get any more thermals but I can’t resist the vampy bloody petal vibe of the cupcake!!
You and Polished Mage have sold me on Monarch Psycho!
I definitely need the sugar scrub!
Rogue Lacquer is my wow for this month, but there are a lot of good ones. I’ve been a bit meh on the past few pickups but the makers have really brought it for this one!
Psycho is also on the list!
Cadillacquer and Sugar Bubbles plate
I’m most interested in Pumpkin Vibes!
My top pick is Ethereal
Great Lakes!
#1 (right now) is Baroness X polish, but so many other polishes are calling to me!
Alchemy caught my eye
Monarch Lacquer is a must have.
The Vanessa Molina magnet is another must have for me so I can get these magnetics to do the velvet look! This is such a smart and affordable magnet compared to the 20-30lb ones out there.
i’m loving the flakes in Rogue’s Poison Apple. Looks like Christmas to me!
My favorite is Bluebird but I also like Anchor & Heart, All Mixed Up Laquers and SHP.
The more I look at swatches, the more I’m loving the Handbook for the Recently Deceased
How am I ever gonna narrow this wishlist down
I swear if I didn’t have a budget, I’d buy them all!
This month has a lot of great polishes, I like garden path, bluebird.
My favorite this month is Noodles!
My wishlist for this month is huge!!!
The skull wallet is amazing!
Lovin’ Great Lakes Lacquer’s Never Trust The Living!
I was like, eh, Halloween, not my thing. But I can’t choose! I definitely will get the bluebird one!
I am in LOVE with the GLL!
There’s so many amazing options. I love the Alchemy and GLL polishes the most!
Super excited for this!! I’m going off my no buy for this month.
i really love the Garden Path this month!!! When the Owl and Witch is so sparkly!!
Rogue Lacquer is a must have.
I’m counting the minutes till the shop launch. My top favorite The Evil Dead has a high cap but not everything in my cart does. I’d hate to miss on any of these beauties :P
This will be my biggest order yet XD
