Hello hello! Anyone else thinking today is Monday instead of Tuesday because of Memorial Day? I spent a bit too much this weekend with all of the sales, how about you? Of course I kept a little money aside for Polish Pickup that starts on Friday. The PPU theme is misheard song lyrics, and the names of all these polishes this month are cracking me up! I'm equally guilty on mishearing lyrics, and when I finally figure out the correct ones, I always feel so embarrassed. Honestly, I don't know how makers translated wrong lyrics into a nail polish, but I guess that's why I only swatch and don't create polishes! Wishlisting is open, so you can browse at your leisure until it goes live on Friday, June 2nd. Also make sure to join the Polish Pickup Pack Facebook Group as swatches pop up there all the time.
The shop officially opens at 11:00 AM ET Friday, June 2nd and ends on Monday, May 5th at 11:59 PM (but if a polish has a bottle limit and sells out before the end of the pre-order, it's gone, unless you get lucky and the cap gets raised...which is rare) on the PPU website. Just a heads-up, PPU raised their base shipping rates from $3 to $4 for the lightest packages. USPS keeps raising their prices, so at some point it gets too high and brands cannot eat those prices forever. If you get heavier items, I believe shipping prices get higher. Let's get a closer look at this month's Noodles Nail Polish offering.
Inspiration: What's my Age Again by Blink-182
Price: $11.50
Bottle Limit: None
I love Blink-182, and while I've never been able to see them in concert, I saw the side project Boxcar Racer with Tom and Travis. After the show I even got to meet them both! That was the highlight of my college years. Anyway, this month's polish is Walk Alone or Wear Cologne (Natalie, I 100% thought the lyrics were "walk alone") which is a white crelly base with matte blue/yellow glitters, sky blue holo glitters, and a touch of holo flakies. Don't be mistaken, this is definitely white. I went ahead and used 2 thicker coats for my photos, and I used a glitter smoothing topcoat followed by a QDTC for that smooth finish you see here.
There you have it, folks. What do you plan on picking up this month? Start your wishlist now so you don't miss out on any capped items. You can find out more about Noodles Nail Polish on their website, Instagram page, Facebook page, and Facebook Fan Group.
