Happy Saturday… almost Sunday. It’s late and I’m hoping I finish this post up before I head to bed. I have my big post for Polish Pickup ready, and for April 2022 the theme is Periodic Table!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks – so I’ve been hauling butt to swatch and keep up and I’m not doing too bad at it. This week I turned 40, and since I had my 10 year Blog Anniversary in late December – that means I officially blogged my way through my 30’s.
Pretty sure I just heard my son squawk upstairs…
Anyways. April brings us a theme I’ve wanted for awhile! Periodic Table! This means Periodic Table of Elements and makers can create what they wish and tie it into the theme however they see fit.
I am still waiting on a couple items (surprise surprise) I always feel like 2 items are on the way, just 2. Otherwise – I currently have 75 items to share.
This is also Polish Pickup’s 5 year anniversary! So makers that are still in PPU that were involved in the very first Polish Pickup shop in 2017 were invited to recreate their first polish as well as their April shade! That’s why you will see 2 shades from some makers.
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, and for the glossy photos I did use a combination of the top coats including Vibrant Vinyls which was sent as PR this month, and Night Owl Lacquer’s Patience Not Required, as well as Anchor & Heart Sea Glass. I purchased the Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues and the top coats were sent as pr or as gifts.
Also – i got my periodic table prop on .. Zazzle I think. We can never redo this theme or I’ll have to duct tape over the month and year.
I do use artificial lighting for my photos. I work during the day and weekend afternoons I’m with Nick and Jacob, so I do most swatching when the sun is setting or gone. My current setup uses GlamCor Pro LIghts and I use the Ultra X Model and this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
For reflective polish photos – I only used my camera flash. It was taken in low light with a my camera (Nikon Coolpix L830)
For Glow In The Dark and Solar polishes I used this UV flashlight to “charge” my nails for photos.
My nails are not my natural nails – I’m using ENailCouture Full Coverage Gel Nail Tips in Active Almond shape.
Wish-listing opens tomorrow (Sunday… in case I post this after midnight) so let’s get this going.

Description: Xpress Drying Drops scented in a house blend, Mixed Rock Candy (hard candy scents in watermelon, apple, peach & passionfruit).
This product contains ingredients that bond with the solvents in nail polish to help them evaporate faster, namely disiloxane. This is the ingredient that evaporates and bonds with solvents the fastest of all the silicones in drying products. Drying products that do not contain this ingredient, won’t dry your nails nearly as quickly as Xpress Drying Spray. Baroness X also added camellia and jojoba oil to help hydrate skin and cuticles at the same time as drying.
Simply apply 1-2 drops over each nail to speed the outer layer for drying. Be sure to do this as the FINAL step – not between layers. Do this once the mani is done.

Description: Plutonium Milk for My Atomic Kitten is a milky crelly base with shifting lemon-lime shimmer and sparkles, holo flecks, and neon green matte micro-glitters. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Price: $12.75 | Cap: 126
STELLA CHROMA | THE HOLO-GENS
Inspiration: The halogens are a group of chemically related elements in the periodic table. I’ll not go into greater detail so I don’t put you to sleep.
Description: Holo-gens is a silver holographic base with metallic flakes in black, purple, and bright pink. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
I don’t know why – but I get Vegas vibes from this polish.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: None
SWEET HEART POLISH | 83+🔥=🌈
Inspiration: Inspired by the 83rd element, Bismuth
Description: 83+🔥=🌈 is a micro glitter polish with gold, royal blue, fuchsia, emerald, copper, and rose gold glitters with a soft gold shimmer. I used 3 thin coats, a glitter smoothing topper (Glisten & Glow) and a thin coat of top coat for these photos.
Price: $10.50 | Cap: None
THE CRAFTY TACO | BI HAND NAIL ART MAGNET
Inspiration: Inspired by Bismuth (Bi)
Description: This piece features a small neodymium round magnet attached to a black painted wooden hexagon, with a cabochon painted with a magnetic polish. The magnet on the cab itself proves to be a bit slippery, so the hexagon helps with a nice grip to hold the magnet over the nail. It creates a circular design on the nail and is quite strong.
When not in use – it looks like a decorative piece to attach to a helmer or fridge.
The polish used is Bee’s Knees Lacquer Demeter
Price: $7.00 | Cap: 50
THE SOAPY CHEF | LIFE BEGINS AFTER COFFEE CUTICLE SCRUB
Inspiration: Inspired by a cute image with Co F Fe “The Only Elements I need”
Description: This gentle cuticle scrub and balm is made with a blend of oils and butters, as well as granulated sugar that buffs away dead skin around the cuticles and nail beds. Simply rub the scrub into nails and cuticles in a circular motion then wash off excess with warm water.
This smells so yummy – I am a huge coffee lover and this made me leave my house to grab an iced coffee at Dunkin’
Scent notes: Kona coffee, citron peel, caramel, dark chocolate, sugar cane, rich sweet cream, vanilla, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies
Price: $8.50 | Cap: None
TREO LACQUER | NEODYMIUM (Magnetic)
Inspiration: When I realized that Neodymium is an element I thought to myself, “I have to make a magnetic polish inspired by Neodymium!” We all love those strong magnets to make our magnetics look their best.
Description: Neodymium is a black jelly with purple magnetic pigment, as well as aurora shimmer that shifts green to berry pink to purple. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 160
UNICORN MAGIC SKINCARE | NEPTUN~IUM HAND CREME
Inspiration: Inspired by Neptunium and Neptune the god of water
Description: Coconut milk is also packed full of vitamins and antioxidants, especially vitamin C, which is known to brighten skin and increase elasticity. Along with quality skin loving oils and butters, this makes coconut milk the perfect option to include in our creamy coconut milk hand creme. This creme has a more fluid consistency than Unicorn Magic Skin Care’s Deluxe Triple Butter Hand Lotion, but is still rich, nourishing and moisturizing.
This isn’t as stiff as the Deluxe Triple Butter, but I do find it really good to use at work and such because it does soak in quick and has a creamier consistency.
Neptun~ium: top notes of sea salt, ocean mist and aquatic florals blend with base notes of sea greenery, fresh air, soft musk and sandalwood.
This sea salt and soft musk are the notes that pop out to my nose. This is a cleaner, relaxing scent that is beachy.
Price: $8.50 | Cap: 200
UNICORN MAGIC SKINCARE | PLUTO~NIUM ACETONE ADDITIVE
Inspiration:
Description: The use of acetone can wreak havoc on nails and surrounding skin, leaving those unsightly dry white marks. The use of acetone additive will help diminish the stripping of natural oils from your hands & nails, helping them look healthy and beautiful. Contains skin loving oils such as jojoba & argan oil for maximum benefit.
This acetone additive is in a plastic bottle that you squeeze to dispense. Shake before using, add the desired amount and give the acetone a shake then use.
I do suggest adding a little, testing it to see if it needs more, then add more. I usually add 1/4-1/3 of the 1 ounce bottle to a 10 oz amount of remover (I used zoya remove+)
Pluto ~ nium – Floral top notes blend with orange blossom and hints of spearmint and are then laid down on a bed of musk and patchouli. This inspired by Supernova by Lush.
Price: $5.50 | Cap: 150
VAPID WAX | SMELLEMINT WAX
Inspiration: Inspired by Costa and her “Periodic Table of Smellements”
Description: This is a home fragrance wax melt with notes of: Fresh picked spearmint, ginger and a hint of vanilla.
Okay bear with me a moment.
On dry sniff, this straight up smells (to me) like someone tried making a cupcake flavored soda. The ginger and spearmint almost gave it that effervescent zing, and I was like “What the hell is Jenn doing…”
So obviously I melted it.
When melted it actually smells really nice and refreshing and it’s more of a vanilla spearmint with the slight ginger kick.
The cupcake soda had me worried though initially.
**My clam shell says 2.75 oz. but it’s actually 3 oz**
Price: $6.00 | Cap: None
VIBRANT VINYLS | NEON DREAMS – SCENTED DOUBLE BOND BASE COAT
Inspiration: Inspired by the element on Neon
Description: Double Bond is a ridge filling base coat and sticky base coat in 1. Best of both worlds. I also sometimes like wearing it alone cause it gives a healthy, sheer, milky look to the nails.
‘Neon Dreams’
Let this island blend of juicy mango and fruity papaya light up your life with neon dreams of a tropical drink on a sandy beach.
This is a really nice tropical scent. When dry I get more citrusy scents – like orange and pineapple. This is a medium strength scent and one of my new favorites from April.
Price: $8.00 | Cap: None
VIBRANT VINYLS | NEON DREAMS – SCENTED FAST & HARD QUICK DRY TOP COAT
Inspiration: Inspired by the element on Neon
Description: Fast & Hard is a super glossy quick dry top coat that can be applied over wet polish without issue. It also works over stamping, just make sure you float the top coat!
‘Neon Dreams’
Let this island blend of juicy mango and fruity papaya light up your life with neon dreams of a tropical drink on a sandy beach.
This is a really nice tropical scent. When dry I get more citrusy scents – like orange and pineapple. This is a medium strength scent and one of my new favorites from April.
Price: $8.00 | Cap: None
WHAT ADDICTION | STEEL LOVIN’ HUE
Inspiration: Inspired by the St. John’s bridge in Portland, OR. Using the elements of iron and carbon which creates steel.
Description: Steel Lovin’ Hue is a turquoise leaning teal crelly with holo micro flakies, aurora shimmer and red gold flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
This is actually my top pick for the month.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 100

This month…I’m in trouble. I haven’t had a wishlist this big in a while. I’m glad there are more colored reflective glitter polishes. Silver made some look weird. I haven’t had much luck with solar polishes but here’s one catching my eye this round. May have to give it another try

Thanks for all the swatches! I’m torn between the Noodles polish and Czech this out for my #1 pick, also thinking about getting the Pahlish, Wildflower and heart of glass!
On second thoughts, I’m edging towards Pahlish as my #1 pick because I don’t have anything like it
PAHLISH! I’ve GOT to get that one!!
I know, right! Such a beautiful shade for summer. Plus, their formula has always been on point.
Wildflower Laquer wasn’t posted, but that’s the only one I am getting this month- at least that’s what I keep telling myself!
This month’s Colores de Carol old is my favorite!
So many great polishes this month! I’m so excited to see the 2.0 versions!
Multiple solar polishes this month.
I’ll be snagging those along with the Pampered Polishes polish for sure!!
Path to Protect by Garden Path Lacquers is really unique.
Paint it Pretty Polish and Wildflower are my top picks this month!
Co by Paint it Pretty Polish
So many but definitely garden path laquers the fifth element!
Too many excellent choices! My number one is definitely Paradox Polish’s Avagodro’s Number, as a bit of a science nerd I love the name but also love the unique shade. I’m also definitely trying for Zink and Be NiCe, there are others I’m eyeing too.
I really love the magnet, it’s beautiful. I’m glad it can go on the fridge for easy access and safe keeping so it doesn’t get lost. Very cool.
The Dreamland is at the top of my list!
Hearts & polish – what a gorgeous reflective purple mix!
I love Lumen Liquidity and that Crafty Taco net!

The colours this month are in terrible. Glisten and Glow’s Minty Fresh, is a must have for me. I love it.
I really need a no buy month but this one month is packed with soo many gorgeous shades. Not pictured here but I want Nailed it! Offer and also Oxygen by cadillaquer.. And so many others.
I don’t know why it says in terrible. It was supposed to say incredible.

Wildflower
I’m so surprised! My #1 pick this month is not a polish! I’m hoping to score one of The Crafty Taco magnets!
Gotta be Happy Oxidant, it’s gonna go great with the stamping plate Hit the Bottle had in Feb. Also Scream 2.0 I love that shade of blue!
I have to get the cute pouch with the chemical formulas for my daughter who will be graduating in May with her B.A. in Theater & Biology.
I would love to get The Crafty Taco Magnet along with Leesha’s Lacquer Binky Bunnies and Pop 2.0
I’m so excited for Rogue’s polish!
Lots of beautiful polishes this month!
I feel like I say this every month, but bluebird’s is beautiful and a must have. Red panda, a world without zinc is HOT matte(and I’m not really a fan of matte) and it combines my two favorite things nail polish and the Simpsons.
I hope I can snag a Colores de Carol
Happiest Birthday
I.. see nothing, as fairly usual, but I do think the Zra Erbium & Cobalt earrings are vibrantly cute.
Wow, I have a lot of favorites this month. But my favorite color is purple so I’m going with Hearts & Promises. So pretty!
Loving Rhodium and Roses!
Really loving the PFD this month
I love night owl lacquer this month!
I am obsessed with DREAMLAND LACQUER, CZECH THIS OUT. It seems the perfect periwinkle shade for summer.

WILDFLOWER LACQUER “STOLEN FLAME”
Alchemy caught my eye.
I’m blown away by POP 2.0, but the Sassy Sauce polish is also really tempting.
I would love to have “Be NIce” !
Must buy: Jior Couture: Periodic Table of Black History
Wildflower stolen flame, Penelope Luz Osmium and Pahlish Neon grabbed me even tho I was trying for a no buy this month!! But man now that I’ve seen your post I’m looking awfully hard at that atomic polish as well!
Osmium by Penelope Luz is so pretty!
GLISTEN & GLOW | MINTY FRESH
I have a hard time choosing a must have because I always must have a bunch of stuff but this month I for sure want to grab DRK Magnetic top coat!
I’m not really a yellow/gold polish lover, but I am obsessed with Colores de Carol’s offering!
So many gorgeous polishes again but my favorites are Paradox Polish, Glisten & Glow Alchemy Lacquers and a few not seen.
I want the DRK “H.O.H.” polish something fierce! Colored reflective glitters that match the base are an addiction I feel coming on.
My favorite is Fair Maiden’s polish for PPU’s 5th birthday.
I need that Night Owl Lacquer Shell Yeah!
Heather’s Hues this month is calling me!
I’m super excited for the 2.0 versions of polishes that came out 5 years ago! Definitely going to be a dangerous month!
PFD, DRK and kbshimmer are must haves this month. I also have the Night Owl Lacquer, What Addiction and Wildflower plus a few more on my list. It’s going to be a bad month.

I’m planning to purchase polished for days’ polish this month as well!
The new Fast and Hard topcoat looks like a must have.
DREAMLAND LACQUER | CZECH THIS OUT is an absolute must-have polish this month.
Colores de Carol’s Element 79 is a stunner for sure, definitely picking that one up!
I think that Pahlish polish looks amazing
So happy to see that the Radium girls are being acknowledged. As a scientist, I’m so excited for this month’s theme.
This month has a great theme! I think my favorite is the submission by Wildflower Lacquer.
Paradox, Wildflower, and Polished for Days
Colores de Carol looks so good too
I really like the glow and the color of the WFL polish this month.
Quick dry drops and Magic Effect are definitely on my list!
There’s lots of beautiful polishes but I NEED the Glitter Grabber.
Glisten and Glow Glitter Grabber is a must have.
KBShimmer
Love Alchemy this month!
KBShimmer is a top pick for April.
Ethereal Lacquer’s beautiful blue is lovely.
WHAT ADDICTION?’s Still Lovin’ Hue. Even though they’re basing it on steel, It makes me think of copper’s turquoise patina with some of the shiny copper glistening through
That neon yellow from Pahlish is fantastic. I’m going to have to get that one.
The Colores de Carol is a must have this month!
My top pick for the month is wildflower lacquer stolen flame. Loving the night owl lacquer this month too!
Pahlish- Neon, such a fun shade and perfect for summer!
Colores de Carol is looking fabulous! Also the G&G and Stella Chroma.
The jewel-like shards of Crushed Emerald are also calling my name…
I love this month’s CAT TAIL | PHOS-4-US!
I always love the purple and blues!
Crushed Emerald is speaking to me!
They are all sop pretty this month! I am having trouble narrowing down my purchase let alone finding a favorite!
Looking forward to getting Scream of Nature.
Scofflaw, you will be mine. Oh yes, you will be mine
I love Dreamland – it’s in the wishlist!
By Vanessa Molina is a must have.
Dreamland’s “ Czech This Out” is my number one pick this month. Closely followed by the Wildflower Polish. I’m really loving reflective glitters lately and have always been a HUGE lover of purple polishes so the Dreamland has my name written all over it. Also, that shade of lilac is just… *chef’s kiss*!
After looking at the shop, I think my new favorite is the Great Lakes Lacquer. It’s so shifty and gorgeous!
Pahlish’s Neon is one of my top picks. It keeps calling to me!
What Addiction is really pretty!
I have fallen desperately in love with the “Colder than Nitrogen” polish that I don’t see here! Was hoping to see if it really was as amazing as the promo photos!
Wildflower is stunning!!
Cameo Colours is stunning. BUT, due to it’s name, I will NOT purchase it. My 6 year old granddaughter know the brands, color names and finishes of all her mom’s 500+ polishes and my almost 200. I would like to see PPU not allow innuendos or down right foul language in the polishes that are offered.
I’ll definitely be getting Osmium by Penelope Luz, it’s so sparkly and I love the reflective glitters!
Cat Tail’s Phos-4-us! and the chemical formula bag are two must haves for me this month.
My #1 pick is Off the Hook’s milk carton cat toys followed closely by The Crafty Taco’s magnet. My first picks for polish are the two Leesha’s Lacquers polishes.
Too many pretty shades!
Ooh, just realized the DRK magic magnetic topcoat is on offer this month!
The WFL is my must have, but there are so many beautiful polishes this month! Thank you for the lovely swatches!
That purple from Night Owl is also on my list. My list is definitely longer this month. Perfect theme.
Ethereal is so sparkly!
Scofflaw’s luminous yellow is wonderful!
Scofflaw!
Fancy Gloss is a must-have for me this time. :)
Thank you for the gorgeous swatches, Lisa.
I really need to get the chemical formula bag for my daughter this month.
I love how sparkly the Vanessa Molina polish is this month!
Pahlish and KBShimmer
Sassy Sauce polish is must have.
Thinking about grabbing that magnet
Definitely the metamorphosis 2.0
Definitely gotta have Crushed Emerald from Polished For Days.. Emerld is my birthstone so I hope to wear it for my birthday
Lots of reflective glitter again! Also, the Wildflower one is amazing
My #1 choice is Nailed It dazzle dust!
