Wildflower Lacquer Queen Frostine – PPU November 2021

Wildflower Lacquer Queen Frostine – PPU November 2021

Hello polish people! I hope this post finds you well. I have been so sluggish lately, and I can’t seem to get out of this rut. I am taking a week off from my super strict exercise schedule to just relax and take care of some aches and pains. This is 42 for sure! Other than that, I am looking forward to Thanksgiving which is literally around the corner. Maybe I can take a few extra days off during the holidays and just spend the time with the fam. Since this is the first week of November, you know that Polish Pick Up is right around the corner. Today I am sharing Wildflower Lacquer Queen Frostine with you so let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Wildflower Lacquer Vitameatavegamin

Wildflower Lacquer Vitameatavegamin

Hi! I am back with a second post today because I wanted to share this polish with you since it goes on sale today for a limited time. As a first generation Mexican-American, I did not grow up with American Thanksgiving traditions. I don’t think that my mom ever made a Turkey until I was in my late teens (not that I complained since I hate birds and all forms of poultry). The one thing that I do remember doing every Thanksgiving was watching I Love Lucy marathons. I have loved that show my entire life and it’s still something that I enjoy watching. Imagine how excited I was when I got my hands on Wildflower Lacquer Vitameatavegamin! Let’s take a look at my swatches below and then I’ll share with you all the deets on how to pick this up.

Wildflower Lacquer Kois From The Swamp Collection

Wildflower Lacquer Kois From The Swamp Collection

Heyyy-yo! How are you doing today? I’ve kind of been exhausted to the max. So I decided to start going to the gym (even though I’m still scared of COVID) but I just don’t feel comfortable walking outside when it’s getting dark in the evenings and there is no way in hell I will wake up super early to work out before work. I think I overdid it a bit so I’m feeling super sore and gross so I’m taking a day off but I’m definitely going to keep at it. Before I cut my nails down the nubs, I did a bunch of swatching and today I’m going to share with you a beautiful new collection. The Wildflower Lacquer Kois From The Swamp collection is a sister collection to the Candied Kois from earlier in the year so let’s take a look at my swatches below.

KBShimmer Witch Please – PPU September 2021

KBShimmer Witch Please – PPU September 2021

 

Hey, hey, hey! Can you believe September is here? It’s also my birthday this month so I’m getting ready to TREAT MYSELF TO ALL THE THINGS. I already treated myself to two new pairs of glasses and I am thinking about buying an All-Clad cookware set because I’m old AF now and stuff like this makes me happy. Just look at the reactions and comments on my post about a mop. A motherfreaking mop.  Anywho, today I am going to share with you my swatches of KBShimmer Witch Please which, along with a new sugar scrub, will be available this Friday for Polish Pick Up. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Esmaltes da Kelly Mahalo – PPU July 2021 (Rewind)

Esmaltes da Kelly Mahalo – PPU July 2021 (Rewind)

Have you ever been wowed by a polish after seeing a million swatches and then when you get it, the polish falls flat on you? This is exactly what happened to mw with Esmaltes da Kelly Mahalo. I don’t know what happened but I just don’t like how it looks on me. I think part of it could be that I didn’t get the very lovely end result that I saw so many people show in their swatches. This is the first time I try out the brand and think that I will buy more–just not if they are magnetics. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Prism Polish UK May The Fourth Collection

Prism Polish UK May The Fourth Collection

Hello there! It’s been kinda warm here lately and it has just made me feel super sluggish. I want to start going to the gym so badly, but I’m scared about the increase of COVID cases. Even though I’m fully vaccinated, it makes me a little nervous. I have even made the decision to stop going out to indoor dining and will only go if there are outdoor options. Even then, I’m wary. I don’t know if I’m overreacting but I just don’t want to get sick and possibly pass it on to my parents when I see them. Anyway, sorry for the ‘rona talk, it’s just been on my mind a lot lately. Today I am going to be sharing with you the Prism Polish UK May The Fourth Collection so let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Zoya Nostalgic Collection

Zoya Nostalgic Collection

 

Another week down and almost another month down. Next month I turn 42 and I’m not having any of it. lol Actually, I’ve never been one to really care about my age because I’ve basically felt old since I was 15. It’s a good and a bad thing if you ask me. I don’t have many plans for my birthday due to the ongoing panini, but before all this happened I had hoped to go on a nice vacation by myself. At this point, I don’t think it’s the best idea yet so maybe I’ll save it all for the future. Today I’m going to be sharing with you my swatches of the Zoya Nostalgic Collection which is Zoya’s Fall release. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Alchemy Lacquers Sands of Giza – PPU July 2021 (Rewind)

Alchemy Lacquers Sands of Giza – PPU July 2021 (Rewind)

Hello friends. I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve been feeling pretty relaxed lately and I have absolutely no idea how that happened. Work has been keeping me pretty busy, but I have also felt like I have had more time to do other things that I enjoy like reading and doing some organizing at home. I bough a couple of polishes from PPU Rewind last month and today I’m going to show you one of them. I was super bummed when I missed out on Alchemy Lacquers Sands of Giza when it first came out March 2020 so I made sure to jump on it this time around. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.
