Polish Pickup October 2024 – Natural Phenomenon

Not only did I receive October’s Polish Pickup last week, but I also received my replacement Cuticula “Zombie Juice” Top Coat – Wheeeee! Even though it’s no longer spooky season, I’m looking forward to testing it out.

October’s theme is “Natural Phenomenon” and I ventured out of my comfort zone and got a few non-polish products.

Phoenix “Nichibotsu” ($13) is inspired by an anime called Hunter x Hunter (my son’s favorite). Nichibotsu means ‘sunset’ in Japanese. It’s also a magnetic polish, which is why I finally sprang for a Nova Nail Magnet ($5) – I cannot wait to play with it!

Painted Polish “Live Laugh Lava” ($13) is inspired by…DUH…lava.

Envy Lacquer “Synchronous” ($12.50) is inspired by the synchronous firefly display in the Appalachian mountains.

Proving that I don’t learn, I picked up one more Cuticula Limitless Quick Dry Top Coat in “Blackberry Passionfruit” ($10).

Oh, and I got a kitchen magnet/bottle opener ($8.75) celebrating two of my favorite things – True Crime & Nail Polish. I was a bit miffed that I got double charged for shipping, as this was an in-stock item. Boo.

Poison Garden

If I ever get to London, the first stop is The Poison Garden. Maybe second stop, after the chippy.

I’m still working through all those “Deadly Plants” polishes I got back in January. I really love the theme! This one is Envy Lacquer “Poison Garden” and it is hypnotizing. Is it blue? Is it green? I cannot decide.

This is two coats of “Poison Garden” over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Melt Down” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Raspberry Pop”.

Polish Pickup January 2024 – Deadly Plants

They keep getting my with these killer themes! The first Pickup of 2024 had an amazing theme – Deadly Plants.

From left to right:

Ard as Nails “Poison Ivy” ($13.50) is inspired by…duh…poison ivy. I personally don’t have any experience with poison ivy, but my husband is VERY allergic. He gets into every few years or so…that’s country living, I guess.

Moonshine Mani “Mandragora” ($13.00) is inspired by the Mandrake scene in the first Harry Potter movie.

Red Eyed Lacquer “Dead Inside” ($12.50) is inspired by the corpse flower. I hope the polish isn’t that stinky.

Gracefull Nail Polish “Toxic Pink” ($12.75) is inspired by the plant Nerium oleander ‘Monrovia Red.’

Envy Lacquer “Poison Garden” ($13.00) is inspired by, well, The Poison Garden in London.

I’ve already tried a few of these and they are OUSTANDING.
