JReine Piercing Peridot

JReine Piercing Peridot

I am back today with another polish full of OGUP for your viewing pleasure. I kept debating sharing my swatches of these polishes because they are no longer available for sale, but if you’re part of the indie polish community, you know that destashing is a huge part of our community so I think that you have a good chance of finding these on the secondary market if you REALLY want them. You might not like the price, but someone is bound to want to let them go if the price is right. JReine Piercing Peridot is part of the Jelly Jewels Collection and it is another sheer jelly full of unicorn pee. Let’s take a look at my swatches below. Continue reading “JReine Piercing Peridot”

JReine Turned Up Tanzanite

JReine Turned Up Tanzanite

Another brand that has seriously been wowing me for a while now is JReine.  In my book, Jill is the queen of Unicorn Pee polishes so I am constantly buying UP polishes that she puts out. Of course I can’t get every single polish, but I do my best to pick up those that are the most interesting to me. I have an extremely difficult time passing up blue-based UP polishes so of course I had to pick up JReine Turned Up Tanzanite. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Land Of The Lost – PPU September 2020

JReine Land Of The Lost – PPU September 2020

I can’t believe it’s September already. As I continue to navigate working on my health, weight loss, pandemic anxiety and all that other stuff that has us down, I have been playing with polish so much. Unfortunately, I don’t usually get past painting my nails and taking the pictures. Lately I have found the whole process of editing a couple of pictures from the dozens I took truly exhausting, but Polish Pickup never fails to get me excited to share with you guys. The theme for September is Halloween so there will be tons of fun shades and items to choose from. Today I will be sharing with you my swatches of JReine Land of The Lost which draws its inspiration from Marie Laveau. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Two Faced Twins

JReine Two Faced Twins

Hey guys! What’s going on? I’m keeping busy with work and with organizing all my stuff. I’m still going through the process of cleaning out my storage and getting rid of tons of clothes, books and random trinkets. The other day I found an old box of letter that my friends wrote to me when I was living in Paris and it was super fun to see some of that stuff. I also found my box of heartbreak that had a bunch of crap from rando guys who have passed through my life. I don’t know why I decided to keep that crap even though I never open the box or go through all that emotional garbage. Am I the only one who does this? Probably not, but hey, we all have our pasts and without all those experiences I wouldn’t be the emotionally stunted person that I am today! #kiddingnotkidding Anywho, today I have JReine Two Faced Twins to share with you so let me get to the swatches.

JReine Hold My Earrings

JReine Hold My Earrings

Day four of the great sickout and I’m still not improving. It’s not like you need a play by play of the progress of my cough and cold, but I need all the positive vibes I can get! I guess that I should probably make it over to the doctor, but I feel like I always end up wasting $15 (my copay) and they don’t recommend anything useful. I’m surprised that I’ve been able to power through work but I feel like I’m losing steam. For today’s post I have yet another beautiful polish with OGUP. Let me show you swatches of JReine Hold My Earrings below. Continue reading “JReine Hold My Earrings”

JReine Saints & Sinners

JReine Saints & Sinners

What have you been watching on Netflix? The other day I was looking through new arrivals, and I saw a Spanish movie called The Tree Of Blood. What immediately caught my attention is that Nawja Nimri is in it, AND it’s directed by Julio Médem. One of my favorite movies of all time is Los Amantes del Círculo Polar (Lovers Of The Artic Circle) and they were both involved in that movie. I haven’t yet watched it, but it’s definitely in my queue. For today’s post, I have JReine Saints & Sinners which is a flaky/OGUP topper. Let me show you some swatches below.

JReine Original Lust – PPU October 2018

JReine Original Lust – PPU October 2018

Since it’s barely the 6th of the month and I already purchased 6 polishes, I’m trying to get through my untrieds so I don’t feel extra crappy for being a failure at limiting my polish purchases. I think that if I keep my purchases to just these 6 polishes for the month I will feel ok, but I really need to get better about buying stuff. I feel like I’ve pretty much curbed my make up spending so now I need to focus on polish. I am definitely purchasing less, but I shouldn’t be buying ANY when I have so many untrieds. Well, today I pulled out one of those untrieds! JReine Original Lust was a purchase from back in October 2018. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Lagniappe

JReine Lagniappe

I know it’s just Tuesday, but I’m already feeling tired. I think that because the weather has been so gray lately, my mood is just mirroring it. I have a lot of stuff going on this week so I’m glad that I was able to get a bunch of swatching done over the weekend. I’ve been trying to motivate myself to add a bunch of stuff to my blog sale, but that hasn’t happened either. Over the weekend I watch a few episodes of that Marie Kondo show on Netflix and I got the urge to purge. Hopefully I’ll get to it soon. So for today’s post, I have JReine Lagniappe which is a gorgeous topper that I know you will love. Let’s take a look at my swatches below. Continue reading “JReine Lagniappe”

JReine Black Friday

JReine Black Friday

Hello friends! How is your week going so far? I am dealing with a little stress and anxiety so I’m just trying to take it one step at a time for now. Things are going well, but I’m just always anticipating things going south. I find it very difficult to be one of those optimistic people, but it’s something that I am working on. Today I have yet another polish that I purchased a couple of months ago. JReine Black Friday is a polish that was available…on Black Friday only. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

JReine Grapeful For Unicorns

JReine Grapeful For Unicorns

I’ve felt really off these last few days. I don’t know if it’s physical or emotional, but I’ve just been feeling blah and apathetic about most things. Maybe it’s the weather or maybe I’m just going through a funk. Well, whatever it is, I hope it passes soon. Yesterday I showed you one of the polishes I bought during Black Friday and today I have another one from that same haul. JReine Grapeful For Unicorns is another glowy polish that I’m glad I picked up. Let’s take a look at my swatches. Continue reading “JReine Grapeful For Unicorns”
