Keeping this rolling and typing up a blog post on my lunch break at work! I have another Polish Pickup beauty to share, and this time it’s Pretty Jelly Singin’ In The Rain!

There are 40 indie makers involved this month, so that’s a LOT of polishes to choose from.

Okay first we’re going to go through my spiel on Polish Pickup for those not familiar with it!

Before I get into this lovely shade shown above, we’re going to talk about this new Facebook group and I’m going to describe it’s concept. The group is Polish Pickup. Polish Pickup offers a fun, interactive experience that allows you to submit theme ideas, vote for your favorite theme, and selectively purchase your favorite polishes every month. It’s NOT a box though. I think when it formed that was the major misconception of it.

Now, I love polish boxes, however, some purchasers shared their frustration in only wanting 1 or 2 polishes from a box and needing to unload the polishes in the box they didn’t want. So essentially they were paying $40 and up for 1 or 2 polishes and hoping they could sell the polishes they weren’t interested in.

Polish Pickup is different. While the concept of picking themes and voting isn’t new, instead of buying the whole box, you can shop online for JUST the single polishes you want. There can be many indie makers involved with the theme, but you only have to pay for the exact polishes you wanted rather than 4-8 polishes you may not have been interested in.

You following me still?

Then every month the theme and makers change and you get a whole new set of polishes to pick and choose from. So while it has a box like feel (with the voting and themes) it doesn’t carry the box commitment.

This set of polishes will be available from August 4th at 11am until August 7th, and at the end of this post I will have the list of August makers so you can see what to expect.

The August theme is ‘Old Hollywood’

Here is the Pretty Jelly inspiration photo!

I absolutely adore this movie!

Let’s take a look at the polish (my lunch is almost over!)

Pretty Jelly Singin’ In The Rain

Pretty Jelly Singin’ In The Rain is a stunning medium blue scattered holographic with bright blue shimmer, added holo particles, and violet to red to gold to green shifting micro flakes. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
