September 2019 Polish Pickup: Magic & Alchemy

Good morning!  Hope you enjoyed your Monday off, or at least a low key work day.  My fam-bam did nothing but laze around the house and hang out.  Though we did leave for dinner and enjoyed some live music. So Tuesday is kind of like Monday this week. The kids are back to school today and I'm jumping on the old bloggy blog to share some upcoming products that will be available in the PPU this month!  The theme for the month is Magic & Alchemy and I've seen some real beauties with the blogger previews!  The Pickups will be open from 9/6 - 9/9.  Let's jump in and see what I've got to share.

August 2019 Polish Pickup: At the Carnival

Good afternoon!  I'm just getting back to regular after a vacation with the family.  Vacations are so fun, but the packing and traveling is so tiresome.  Especially when I have to pack myself and 4 kids.  That's why it's nice to take day trips to close by events like festivals and carnivals.  Speaking of carnivals, that is the theme for August, At the Carnival and it's open 8/2 - 8/5.  If you haven't browesd the albums in the Facebook group yet you should totally do so and the site is open so get over there and make your wishlist!  There are loads of amazing shades coming out. Let's jump in and I'll show you what I was lucky enough to review.

July 2019 Polish Pickup; The After Party

And now for something new and different!  The Pickups are closed but now we get The After Party!  Each brand participating in July was able to select 2 (TWO) of their most popular sellers and bring them both back.  The PPU shades are gone now thou so if you missed them, you missed them.  Your last chance to snag beautiful polish from the past is on now!  You can shop The After Party at each individual shop.  I will share anything I have previously swatched and link you directly to the site.  Without further adieu, The After Party!!

Dreamland Lacquer: Aurora UP Remakes; A Wedding Dress That Isn't Bright Turquoise, The Search Is Over & You Saucy Minx

Good afternoon, happy Tuesday!  How is April halfway over? Can 2019 slow down just a bit?  I feel like I don't have time to do anything and the days are literally flying by!  And I am counting down the days until my house is completely done.  Looks like we are down to the last 2 weeks of contractors being here and things being worked on. Until then we have 1 bedroom for all of us (thankfully it's my new HUGE master bedroom) and there's room on the floor for mats for the kids to lay on.  They think it's fun, like camping, pshhht - kids.  Ok but that has nothing to do with today's post so let's get in to it.  

Dreamland Lacquer is having a launch with 3 gorgeous remakes!  Her popular shades A Wedding Dress That isn't Bright Turquoise, The Search is Over and You Saucy Minx.  These have been redone with Aurora UP shimmer and they are gorgeous, as well as more opaque.  I have pictures of the new ones compared to the old versions also because I know how fun comparisons are!  The new Aurora UP Remakes will be available 4/19 at 2pm Central.  They will be $10.50 each/$30 for all 3 during the 48 hour pre-order.  $11.50 after that.  Let's jump in and check them out!

Dreamland Lacquer; Star Crossed Lovers, Valentine's 2019

January 2019 Polish Pickup & Indie Pickup, Mythology

Hello!  Happy New Year!  2019, I have big personal plans for you...getting my pre-baby body back, getting back to the fitness level I was at, back to the gym, better eating habits, decluttering my life, and basically just finding a family/self balance.  So what type of resolution(s) do you have for yourself?  

Since it's January, it means the new PPU an IPU is here! Both will be open from 1/4 - 1/7 and have loads of great stuff.  The theme for the month is Mythology.  I've always loved Mythology and it was one of my favorite topics in History classes.  But this month I am doing things differently, instead of individual posts for each polish or item I have to review I am going to put them all in 1 giant post.  I feel it will be easier for you to find and keep track of items you want to earmark for later.  Let me know in the comments if you prefer 1 big post or several individual posts.  

This is a pretty big post, lots of pictures...so grab your coffee and let's jump in!

Dreamland Lacquer November Polish Pickup Exclusive: Queen of the Iceni

Afternoon!  I'm watching more Halloween movies, putting together baby things and eating leftovers for lunch.  I made homemade meatballs and they were really darn good - the kids also ate way more than I was expecting and I only had 2 tiny little meatballs left over.  So I'm back again today with another PPU post!  Are you in the know yet for the November theme?  It's Badass Women and I love where the makers took this!  Real and made up characters alike are getting their due respect.  Dreamland Lacquer was inspired by Boudicca, Celtic Queen of the Iceni.  She's basically a badass Queen that led a rebellion against Rome and their attempted take over of her land.  Artist renditions of her really give her that "I'll kick your ass and take you down" look and it's awesome!  You will be able to purchase Queen of the Iceni from 11/2 - 11/5 for $12, no cap.  Let's jump in, shall we?

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!

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.
