ellagee February Polish Pickup Exclusive: Truly Scrumptious

Good morning friends and happy humpday!  I slept awful, I stayed up late watching scary shows. Destination America has really upped their game with the paranormal viewing options.  I don't scare easy and I don't know what it was about these shows (or the night) but I was genuinely terrified.  Remember when you were a kid and had to sleep with your entire face except your nose covered by the blanket?  Oh no? That was just me?  Or taking a running start and jumping on to your bed so nothing could grab you from underneath?  Just me again?  Ok fine, moving on... Let's talk about the last Polish Pickup polish shade I have to share with you today.  This beauty is from ellagee and was inspired by the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  Truly Scrumptious will be available from 2/2 - 2/5 and will be $11.  So let's delve in to the post and check out the polish!

6 Harts February Polish Pickup Exclusive: Raspberry Ice

Good evening!  I stayed up late last night playing on the Internet, being a night owl.  I think I'm super worn down from parenting and have been mentally trying to escape the drama.  I've been fighting to keep my eyes open most of the day and my stomach is making crazy noises and you guyyyyyys I'm a mess!  I think I need to take that Nap-ersize class I've seen floating around Facebook, I bet I'd be really good at that.  The other thing I already know I'm really good at is eating sweets.  And I would eat this Raspberry Ice polish in a heartbeat if it were edible!  This is another fabulous polish that will be available during the February Sugar Rush themed Polish Pickup.  6 Harts was a super popular one last month and ended up selling out after the first day.  So if you are digging Raspberry Ice you should probably add it to your cart right away so you don't have regrets!  Raspberry Ice will be available from 2/2 - 2/5 and is $10.  It is capped at 200 bottles.   Let's get to it and see this gorgeous polish!

Stella Chroma February Polish Pickup Exclusive: O, Macaron

Good afternoon/evening beauties.  I'm coming to you from gymnastics class today.  I usually have to run over to the ghetto grocery store across the street while Naomi is in dynasties because life is busy and I hardly have time to grocery shop let alone make dinner.  But today, because of the way plans played out, I was able to go to Costco and stock the house full of food!  YAY, winning at life!  Now I get to relax here for an hour, watching my strong little kick butt in her class while sharing a post with you!  As you know the Polish Pickup will be open this Friday.  The theme is Sugar Rush and it's seriously made for me!  I have the biggest sweet tooth of anyone I know and could literally eat sugary food for every single meal and snack.  Today's post is gorgeous polish from Stella Chroma!  
O, Macaron will be available from 2/2-2/5 for $12.  GUYS!  This polish (as well as all the others available through the PPU each month) is only available for 4 days!  4 DAYS.  If you like it buy it!  No FOMO, No Regrets! Let's check it out.

Colors by Llarowe Mild & Wild 2018 Collection

Good morning and happy Saturday! We have survived another week, it was an especially long one for me.  I worked out 3 separate times yesterday just to have some stress relief.  I got it, and my body is sufficiently sore from doing new things (paddle board cardio/yoga anyone?!).  So needless to say, I was a bit preoccupied with my body yesterday and didn't have a chance to sit down and get a post up. I'm making up for it today with a post or two, starting off with the up and coming Colors by Llarowe Mild & Wild 2018 Collection.  2 4-piece sets of coordinating polishes with a "mild" or "wild" theme. All 8 are fantastic.  The Mild & Wild 2018 collection will be available on 2/1 for $5 or $11.  I'll comment on the ones that are $5.  You can buy the whole collection for $68. Now that you have all that info, let's check out some polish!

Evening dears!  I am working on this post, mainly because I am avoiding the ever growing laundry pile that needs to be folded.  I swear the laundry is a chore that never, ever ends.  I maybe get 1 day where I don't have to think about it because I have literally washed every single article of clothing/bedding/towel in the house.  And can you believe January is almost over?!  I was just thinking about that and how it's almost Valentine's Day!  I have some perfect polishes for the Hallmark holiday to show you tonight.  The Zoya Kisses Collection consists of 3 pastel jellies and a color shifty topper!  Yup, perfect for some sweetheart nails.  The Zoya Kisses are available now and you have a few purchasing options; individual bottles are $10, the trio of jellies is $30 or the quad with the topper is $40.  Let's jump in and check them out!

Dreamland Lacquer; Woleebaph Ronder Wily Collection

Evening friends!  Even though there was no school/work on Monday this week has seemed extra long.  And 2 more days dangit!  I'm currently just trying to keep my middle little appeased and happy because he had a wire put inside of his mouth (bottom teeth are super crooked) and his mouth is sore. Soft foods galore...took him some soup for lunch, ice cream for dinner and the like.  Hopefully he's feeling better tomorrow.  Other than that not much is going on.  Right now I have this fan-freaking-tastic collection to share with you!  Dreamland Lacquer has created the gorgeous Woleebaph Ronder Wily Collection.  It's inspired by the neural networks run by Janelle Shane  that comes up with colors and names them.  Nail polish via technology has the colors down but the names leave much to be desired (or they're great to laugh at).  Just check out THIS article!  So this was the inspiration for the Woleebaph Ronder Wily Collection, or in English, "What Your Computer Might Name Your Polish." This 6-piece collection will be available on 1/20 at 2pm CDT.  It will be a 48 hour pre-order window and then available on the site again a time after that.  Pre-order prices are $10.50 each, $11 after the 48 hour window.  The full set is $60 and free shipping on all orders over $50 with the code FREESHIP50.  $6 international shipping and free shipping over $50 with code INTL50.  I think that's  all the info I have for you so let's check out some polish!

Evening dears!  Tonight I have a lovely trio for you.  It's the Winter's Trio from Stella Chroma.  This mini collection of metallic shades is inspired by the chilly scenes of winter.  Brrrrr, all those "cold" words are making me feel frozen.  I'm a California girl, but I pretty much freeze when it gets below 60.  Yup, I'm a wimp.  Anyways, you can pick up the Winter's Trio on 1/19 at noon EST.  They will be $12 each and if you purchase all 3 you'll receive a free 2.5oz emulsified sugar scrub of Pam's choice.  And just a reminder, you can use my code MNPO for 15% off your order!  Alrighty, let's head to the post.

Dreamland Lacquer: Girly Bits Exclusives - On Pines and Needles & Elfin Gorgeous

Morning y'all!  Have you hung in there through the first week back to reality?  It's been pretty nice having the kids back in school but yes, and once these appointments ease up I may actually get to enjoy my days again.  But I've hidden from my blog for too long and it's time to dust off the keyboard and the topcoat.  Let's delve into a post featuring some Girly Bits shop customs from Dreamland Lacquer.  I picked these up during the Black Friday sale and am SO glad I did because they are beauties!  While both are "Christmas" themed I think they're perfectly fine for anytime of the year.  Elfin' Gorgeous and On Pines and Needles are both available now $12.36 USD each.  Let's check them out.

6 Harts January Polish Pickup Exclusive: Mojave Jewel

Evening loves!  I told you the rest of this day would be a bit busy and I wasn't kidding!  Almost back to back posts but I don't want you to miss out on anything that could help you make a decision on your purchases.  But first can I just say that I am really happy to see 6 Harts getting involved in the Polish Pickup!  Courtney has  great eye for finish and color combos and Mojave Jewel is a perfect example of it.  Plus, who doesn't love a fantastic turquoise?!  I have a soft spot in my heart for this gemstone because it really reminds me of my grandma. She had so many awesome turquoise pieces, I oogled them as a kid.  I have a few pieces from her collection and it brings me happy memories of her every time I wear them.  Mojave Jewel will be available from 1/5 - 1/8 and will be $10.

Alter Ego January Polish Pick Up Exclusive: Rose Quartz

Afternoon dears! Ok I'm back home now and gonna share a couple back to back posts because it's getting down to the wire for the Polish Pickup to open up.  I believe it opens at 11am tomorrow (not sure if that's EST or PST).  The theme is Crystals and Gemstones so you know that brought us lots of gorgeous, whimsical shades and ethereal whites and color shifting flakes and beautiful shimmers.  Alter Ego chose to represent the Rose Quartz, which was always one of my favorite stones when I was a kid.  Yes, like basically the rest of the population in the 80's and 90's I collected "rocks".  But that's got nothing to do with this post so let's jump on in and see what Cynthia came up with for us to enjoy!  Don't forget, Polish Pickup is open from 1/5-1/8 and Rose Quartz will be $7.
