Polish Pickup February 2024 Wild Animals: Noodles Nail Polish Love Birds

 *press sample*



Hello hello! How is it almost February?! Wasn't last week Christmas? I hope you are all staying warm in your respective areas. It's been on and off cold, but nothing unbearable like much of the US had last week. Tonight I've got the Polish Pickup shade from Noodles Nail Polish to share with you. 
This month's theme is Wild Animals, and like last month, I'm also an animal lover and can't wait to see what's in store. 

The shop officially opens at 11:00 AM ET Friday, February 2nd and ends on Monday, February 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 can happen, but you have to be in the Facebook group for the notification) on the PPU website. 








Noodles Nail Polish Love Birds (2 coats)
Inspiration: a photo of 2 love birds 
Price: $12
Bottle Limit: 250 bottles

This month Natalie was inspired by a photo of love birds (very Valentine's Day appropriate indeed!) and Love Birds is a bright pink (leaning red) crelly base with neon pink glitters, lime/gold iridescent glitters,  and purple/red/gold/orange color shifting flakes. The flakes aren't too in-your-face and adds nice visual texture to the polish. It was fairly opaque and only needed 2 regular coats for full opacity. Love Birds does dry with some texture due to the glitters and flakes, so I recommend a glitter-smoothing topcoat followed by a layer of quick-dry topcoat to get a finish like the swatches above. 

Wishlisting for Polish Pickup is going on now, so get shopping! Don't forget, this one does have a bottle limit, so if you're interested, don't wait too long to purchase. You can find out more about Noodles Nail Polish on their websiteInstagram pageFacebook page, and Facebook Fan Group

Cold State




Warm State




Naps and Nails Z-Z-Z-Zombies (2 coats) Transitioning 
Inspiration: Paranorman
Price: $13
Bottle Limit: 100 bottles

I absolutely love this! Z-Z-Z-Zombies is a thermal flakie polish that transitions from green when warm to deep blue when cold with metallic pink/purple/blue flakes. The flakes go so well with the polish, and really adds depth to it. Swatches show 2 coats and it applied flawlessly. Even with the flakes, it only needed one coat of topcoat to smooth it all out. I love it! 

You can find out more about the Little Box of Horrors box on their Facebook page. Make sure to set your alarms to pick this one up since it has a smaller bottle cap.

January 2024 Polished Gamers Box: Naps and Nails My Biggest Adventure Yet

 *press sample*



Hello yet again! The next polish I have to share with you from Naps and Nails is for the Polished Gamers Box.  It doesn't matter if you're a gamer or not; these polishes from the makers are so fun and beautiful. You may remember this box used to be monthly, but they recently changed to a quarterly schedule with each quarter having a different theme. This month's theme is Playstation vs. Xbox, and the pre-order will begin on Monday, January 15th and run through Friday, January 20thShall we get a closer look at what Naps and Nails has in store for us? 









Naps and Nails My Biggest Adventure Yet (2 coats)
Inspiration: Little Big Planet 3
Price: $13
Bottle Limit: 100 bottles

What a shifty polish! This one is so amazing! My Biggest Adventure Yet is a teal base with loads of shimmery shifts of purple, green, and gold. I have a prominent C curve on my nail, so this one is extra shifty on my nails. This one applied perfectly in just 2 coats, and it dried with no texture. It needed only one coat of topcoat, and removal was a breeze. 

If you want to see swatches of the items available for the box ahead of time, you can always join the Polished Gamers Box Facebook Group to see what's coming from all the brands.

Hella Handmade Creations January 2024 : Naps and Nails The Crooked Man

 *press sample*



Hello everyone! Tonight I have the first of several posts for upcoming polishes from Naps and Nails that will be available in the next week or so. Up first we have the shade from Hella Handmade Creations that will be available starting January 14th at 12:01 AM EST through January 21st @11:59 Hawaii time. New to HHC? It works similarly to Polish Pickup where there's a pre-order for exclusive polishes with themes chosen by the brands participating. As stated above, pre-orders open every month on the 14th @ 12:01 am Eastern time and closes on the 21st @ 11:59 pm Hawaii time. During this time customers are able to shop all different brands within the shop and have everything ship from one location. This month Naps and Nails will continue their series on The Nun, Annabelle, and Conjuring Collection. 









Naps and Nails The Crooked Man (2 coats)
Price: $13
Bottle Limit: 250 bottles

Yay, we have a magnetic polish! I haven't used one lately, so I had to remember how to do it properly. The Crooked Man is a blackened base with silver reflective glitter and a beautiful multi chrome magnetic pull that shifts from purple/blue/red. I went ahead and used 2 coats and used the magnet for each coat and worked on one nail at a time for the best pull. I also recommend a quick dry topcoat to really set those particles before they start to diffuse a bit. I bet this would look beautiful with other magnet shapes as well. I only used one coat of topcoat, and it dried with a smooth finish despite having reflective glitter. 

Remember to set your calendar for the 14th, and you can check out the website now to make your wishlist.

Polish Pickup January 2024 Deadly Plants: Noodles Nail Polish Deadly Delph

 *press sample*



Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season; mine was...tough. We lost our sweet almost 19 year-old Clipsy Cat a few days before Christmas. She was our first animal, and the boss of the house. It's so quiet without her around. All we can do is give all our love to our other 2 cats and dog. 

On a much lighter note, I have this month's Polish Pickup shade from Noodles Nail Polish to share with you. This month's theme is Deadly Plants, and I'm a plant lover and can't wait to see what's in store. 

The shop officially opens at 11:00 AM ET Friday, January 5th and ends on Monday, January 8th 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 can happen, but you have to be in the Facebook group for the notification) on the PPU website. 







Noodles Nail Polish Deadly Delph (3 coats)
Inspiration: the delphinium family of flowers
Price: $11.50
Bottle Limit: None

Just for reference, this is a delphinium:


Deadly Delph is a clear based polish with scattered holo, matte white/blue glitters, metallic blue/sapphire glitters, purple/blue/teal shifting UCC flakies, purple iridescent glitters, and a touch of holo microflakies. You can use this as a glitter topper with 1 thin coat, or use it as a full coverage polish in 3 thin coats. It applied perfectly, and it was very glitter dense. It will dry with lots of texture due to the glitter, so I recommend a glitter smoothing topcoat before applying a quick-dry topcoat for a glass-like finish. If you want your nails to really shine, this one is for you!
