Polish Pickup January 2024 | Deadly Plants
Disclosure: I am a paid employee for Polish Pickup. While this post is not sponsored, I do have a relationship with the hosting collaboration shop.
It’s time for a new year and some new themes! I’m hoping in 2024 we see a lot of fresh, unique and new themes for Polish Pickup… and I’m enjoying what we’re kicking off with! Polish Pickup for January 2024 is Deadly Plants!
I’ve been ready to start typing this post for a few days while waiting for things to arrive. I think I’m waiting on one more polish but it’s not set to deliver until January 2nd and I wanted to get this up before then. I will add it to the post when it arrives though.
We had a good holiday week though, and it’s my last Christmas before my son turns 18 and is officially an adult, so I’ve been a bit of a weepy mess all week. He’ll be 18 in February and… when they say that the time goes quickly – they really mean it.
So yeah.. I was delayed a bit in posting.
But we’re here – I’m ready and… it’s a good month. I have 45 items for January currently with one on the way.
As usual, you can check it all out on my YouTube channel – I swatch each polish, show their special effect (if any) and sort of demo each product so you can see the consistency or how it is used.
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, and for the glossy photos I did Monarch Lacquer Hi-Def Shine Top coat (sent as PR and I’ve also purchased). For all textured polishes, I did use Glisten & Glow Glitter Grabber (PR) and Monarch Lacquer top coat over it. For matte photos I used Anchor & Heart Lacquer Sea Glass (Gifted and Purchased by me)
For my lighting set up I use artificial lighting due to my day job, my set up involves 2 Neatfi XL Lamps from Amazon (affiliate link) as well as this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link).
For my nails – they are Apres Gel X nails throughout this post, and the style is Extra Short Stiletto.
Let’s do this!
Alchemy Lacquers | Hydrangea
Inspiration: Inspired by the multi-hued Hydrangea!
Description: Hydrangea is a crelly based thermal that shifts from purple (cold) to pale blue (warm) and is packed with pink to gold to green shifting medium sized shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat for these photos.
Price: $12.50 | Cap: 300
All Mixed Up Lacquers | Chompers Gonna Chomp
Inspiration: Piranha Plant from Mario
Description: Chompers Gonna Chomp is a medium green jelly base loaded with green to gold shifting shimmer pigment, green micro glitters, green micro flakes, subtle scattered holo and red to black micro ultrachrome chameleon flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat for these photos.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 250
Baroness X | Acetone Antidote in Poison Guava Sangria
Inspiration: Inspired by the Beach Apple / Poison Guava tree in Florida.
Description: Acetone Antidote (AA) is an additive for your acetone to protect your skin from the harshness of acetone. It contains glycerin and jojoba oil to help protect and moisturize your nails, skin, and cuticles during polish removal. Plus, no more ashy, dry skin!
Scent description:
Top: Currant, Orange, Lime, Guava
Heart: Nectarine, White Plum, Bellflower
Base: Agave Woods, Amber, Passionfruit
My nose immediately picks up the guava and plum with a little citrus kick from the lime and then a light floral that adds a touch of sweetness to it.
I shake the glass bottle, add 1/4 of the bottle to 10oz of remover (I use Zoya Remove+) – shake the remover container to mix and I’m all set. This stuff is part of the reason I can pump out swatches without destroying my cuticles/skin/nails
Price: $8.25 | Cap: 155
Beaux Reves Lacquer | Blooming Azalea (PAID PR)
Inspiration: Azalea
Description: Blooming Azalea is a plum to mauve to magenta shifting base with green to aqua shimmer and a coralish pink magnetic pigment. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat.

Description: I’m Fonda Your Flora is a violet jelly base full of medium particle shimmer that shifts from purple to blue to green. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat for these photos.
This shade does alter a bit with top coat, but the top coat version is what the maker intended. When you apply the polish a little more gold and green are visible, then when top coat is added – it transforms to a richer violet with a stronger blue shift. If you want to retain the initial shade, add a layer of water based top coat (UNT or Apipila Smudge Proof) as a protective layer between the polish and top coat.

Chamaeleon Nails | Atropa Belladonna
Inspiration: Inspired by the poisonous nightshade plant: here’s some historical background of how it got its name – Atropine (the poison in the plant) is classified as an anticholinergic drug that affects the nervous system. Drops prepared from the nightshade plant were used to dilate women’s pupils, an effect considered attractive. “Bella donna” in Italian means “beautiful woman” – so that’s how it got its name.
Description: Atropa Belladonna is a jelly based thermal that shifts from black (cold) to colorless (warm) and is filled with a variety of iridescent flakes shifting purple to violet to pink to orange to green, as well as black flakes. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat.

Description: Monkshood Blue Beauty is a semi sheer medium blue jelly base with red to orange to gold aurora shimmer. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat for these photos.

KBShimmer | Sugar Scrub in Cherry Almond (PAID PR)
Inspiration: cyanide
Watching murder mysteries, listening to true crime podcasts, and reading whodunit novels are guilty pleasures that many of us have. Personally, I feel smart when there is a clue given and I know exactly where it’s leading. Being told the detective caught a hint of bitter almond or cherries have many true crime fans knowing that the victim must have ingested cyanide. And it is that very cyanide scent that inspired this scrub.
Description: KBShimmer’s sugar scrubs are good for all over the body or as a hand scrub, the sugar particles are medium grit so they do a good job getting dry spots on your body situated.
This is described as ‘The sweet, classic aroma of juicy maraschino cherries and sweet notes of almonds combine to form a luscious fragrance perfect for a Cherry Almond Scrub. Paired with a bold red color, this scrub’s scent is perfect for those wanting a bit of brightness during the day.’
This smells (to me) just like those almond cookies with the candied maraschino cherries on the top. It’s dead on like that to me and makes my mouth water. I think i convinced Nick to bake some too.

Description: Blue Lotus is a crelly based thermal that goes from cornflower blue (cold) to peach (warm) with a green to orange to gold shimmer mixed in. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy and matte top coat for these photos.
There are some hints that it can go to a deeper greyed out cornflower, but it only showed a little and with the slightest body heat it went away. So It is more of a tri thermal with a greyed out blue being the “coldest” shade.
Price: $13.00 | Cap: 250
Lemming Lacquer | I Don’t Have Mushroom for Your Negative Vibes
Inspiration: inspired by psychedelic mushrooms

that Sassy Sauce has been calling my name since I first saw it! your swatches are beautiful!
So far, I like the Wildflower, BCB and Garden Path polishes.
Favorites this month All Mixed Up Lacquer and Zombie Claw.
My number 1 is cuticula. With beau reves and bkl close behind.
I really want to try mixing my own polishes this year, so DRK’s DIY kit is one that I’m hoping to catch. The cap is giving me anxiety haha!
Chameleon I’d calling my name this month!
Lemming lacquer is a must-have this month!
I have so many must haves ♀️ I’m going to have to really figure out if I need them all!
Bella! Bella!
Must have is alchemy hydrangea.
Definitely grabbing Chamaeleon Nails Atropa Belladonna. I was kicking myself for missing Cats in the Cradle from the October PPU, so I’m not passing this up.
Me too! I discovered PPU in December and Cats in the Cradle was one of the polishes I wish I could’ve snagged. I’ll be getting Atropa Belladona for sure!
This month is going to be a tough one! Loving all the purples and blues
By Dany Vianna Aqua Tofana :hearteyes:
I’m sooooo excited for Blue Lotus!! It caught my heart the moment I laid eyes on it in your video
I am thinking I wanna try Glisten & Glow Top coat or Cuticula Limitless Quick Dry Top Coat this time around.
Both of those top coats are excellent! Before I figured out my favorites I picked several at a time and tried them all out until I was sure.
That Sassy Sauce Naughty by Nature is amazing!!
I really want Atropa Belladonna
I really love Paradox Polish’s Wisteria. I am going through a blue phase right now.
The Foxglove King for me!
I like the Zombie Claw
I need the Kathleen & Co
Looking to get Bluebird this month.
Where are winners posted?
PFD and WFL are #1!
I have a big wishlist this month. Pahlish, garden path, Danglefoot.
Great swatches, as always. I definitely need the LynB!
I am still on the fence about that one but I love the polish and love the name :-)
Loving the By Dany Vianna this month!
Absolutely MUST get Lemming Lacquer’s contribution! Those are the colors of my hair.
I’m most excited for Phoenix’s Boolba (not pictured – I’m guessing it hasn’t made it to you yet) but I’m also eying Night Owl Lacquer’s Wither Rose & Paradox Polish’s Wisteria now because of your swatches! I didn’t think I’d vibe with this theme but I’m loving the originality.
Crystal Knockout’s Angelic Poison
I love the blues this time around :o
I thought I could manage to skip this month but the Beaux Rêves is stunning!
Jen & Berries | The Foxgloves Are Off definitely catching my eye!
I really am digging the Zombie Claw (Playing Dead) this month! I am feeling the moody dark greens this time of year.
Rogue for me this month. I’m ready for Spring!
I’m dying to try the DRK DYI artisan kit plus a few others. PPU is dangerous lol
Grabbing pink this month, Psyche Minerals is so pretty!
The Jen and Berries is calling my name
KBShimmer is definitely going on my list!
I’m thinking the K & Co and the scrunchies, because my hubby wants me to grow my hair long again.
Red eyed Lacquer dead inside looks really cool
So many beautiful polishes to choose from this month! Loving the theme and creativity. Eyeing blue lotus, feeling fungi, dead inside, and quite a few others. Trying to stay away from the blues and purples and building my collection with the other colors lol
almost impossible to choose one, but blooming azalea is stunning!
My top pick is definitely both azalea inspirations! I love azaleas and those two polishes are beautiful.
I definitely need to narrow it down but some of my favs include the sassy sauce polish- naughty by nature, zombie claw polish- playing dead, and noodles nail polish- deadly delph
well its a lot of them i like but SHP, BKL, Danny V.
The Cuticula one looks good.
Phoenix, Kathleen Co, and all the blues/purples haha
Rogue!
I NEED Dark Beauty by Wildlower and Lethal Lillies by Lumen!
that Psyche Minerals pink must be mine!
Kathleen & Co, Krisable, Moon Shine Mani, and Daveen!
I might need the Polished for days this month!
Cupcake Polish’s Feeling Fungi is at the top of my list this month!
The KB shimmer scrub sounds amazing!
We have the same faves; I’d only add BK’s, KB Shimmer sugar scrub, and Wildflower’s Dark Beauty.
Hope your 2024 is marvelous!
Your video made me add more to my list. Lol. I want Monarch, Sassy Sauce, Kathleen & Co, Wildflower, Jordan, and Paradox.
Auto correct changed Jior to Jordan. Also Psyche Minerals is calling to me.
I’m in love with Beaux Rêves and from the ppu Facebook group I’m also really excited about whatcha’s offering as well as DRK’s kit!
I’ve been waiting months for DRK’s artisan lab! I missed the last one, so this one will be especially nice to get.
There’s definitely a handful that look absolutely amazing, but the Lemming Lacquer is top of my list this month!
Some KRAZEE greens! Eyeing the Danglefoot (not swatched here), the Rogue (I have several light greens w pink shimmer, but they are so sheer, and this one looks like it’s more opaque and has more ‘presence’). Leesha’s Lacquer has defmcaught my attention – but on the fence because my nails don’t always react to thermals so that the contrast is noticeable…
The thermal also caught my eye, but I’ve never tried one, so I’m kinda iffy right now!
Christina O – if you have longer nails where you have at least 1/16″ nail tip OFF the skin – it has more of a chance… just make sure you like its warm state colour – that way, if it doesn’t change much, you at least have a polish colour you like…
Pahlish Nausicaa’ Garden! I saw a preview on the website and can’t wait to read more about it.
They are too many good ones omg ! How to choose ! But I gotta say, the Belladona one by Dany Vianna is something I’ve never seen before ! Hope I can get it :) (thanks for all the swatches) ^.^
Your swatches are always my go to reference every month! Love these!
My must have from January is that Paradox Wisteria. Too gorgeous omg
Love the Bluebird this month (and most months!)
Me too! Their formula is the best!
Love the red eyed lacquer!
Whatcha’s offering Nightshade is my favorite so far…the magnetic effect is stunning from what I’ve seen!
Out of these, fave is the Bluebird Lacquer shade..I actually LOVE that you can get such a different look based on topcoat.
Thanks again for another month of great swatches!
I need Paradox’s Wisteria like my life depends on it!
Thank you for your beautiful swatches btw! I just hopped on the PPU train in September and they’ve been so helpful!!

Thinking about getting Noxious

A lot of pretties this month! Right now, I’m seriously considering the Kathleen & Co, and the Rogue.
Aqua Tofana by Dany Vianna
Loving KBShimmer – Howl You Doing! On my wishlist
Beaux Reves’ looks so interesting

My list has completely changed in just a few days! After all the swatchs I’ve seen, I’m still going for Beaux Reves, but I’ve added By Dany Vianna and Phoenix Indie to my list.
DEAD INSIDE is gorgeous
Might need Rogue and Baroness X antidote additive too!
Wildflower Lacquer is a must have.
Happy New Year, Lisa and Sanctuary visitors! :)
I am thinking about Cupcake too even though mushrooms aren’t plants……. ;-)
Really considering Chomper Gonna Chomp. I dont wear greens much but it is SO cool!
BKL for sure
Much as I will try to resist it–since I have far too many blues in my collection–this month’s gorgeous KB Shimmer likely will be coming home with me.
Spur of the moment has really grabbed hold of me this time around, something about those turquoise flakes has done me in!
Drk top coat and the drk azalea offering
I love Cadillacquer Larkspur. It’s my July flower!
Krisable Designs’s Don’t Touch The Calico Bush! is very beautiful
Psyche Minerals is a stunning pink.
Really loving Zombie Claw’s glow in the dark.
Beaux Rêves Lacquer-Blooming Azalea, it’s sooo pretty. There are so many gorgeous ones this month but I am trying really hard to stay away from blues and purples so my list is fairly short.
Thank you Lisa! I’m excited for the GPL
Psyche Minerals. Because if I’m going to wear pink, I’m going to wear PINK.
If this month’s Graden Path Lacquer is anything like their polish from November, I’m in!
NOL Wither Rose is catching my eye. I love holos!
DRK Nails is a must have.
Zombie Claw Polish | Playing Dead for me. I picked up Boyfriends Flannel from Zombie Claw in October and wished I had another one! This one is very similar, so its my chance to get another bottle.
The Beaux Reves has moved up the ranks to be my ‘#1 Must Have’ for this month…
So many I love this month! Having a really difficult time whittling it down, I think I’ve read your blog post like 10 times now
How similar is this month’s (gorgeous) Psych Minerals to BKL’s I Can Smell Fear on You? I’m always drawn to deep pinks with blue or green shimmer.
Love the monarch!!!
I think Kathleen & Co is my top pick for this month (and I’ll definitely be stocking up on Cuticula’s unscented top coat!)
I think Bee’s Knees Lacquer is my #1, though too many purples are jumping out at me. Surprisingly, Noodles is catching my eye because I normally don’t go for blues.
Wildflower Lacquer Dark Beauty is my favorite.
Kathleen!
Monarch Lacquer is really pretty this month!
I have to cut down my favorites’ list, but one that will be staying on it is Whatcha Nightshade!
Rogue Lacquers polish Bleeding Hearts is really pretty!
Paint it Pretty Polish is a must have.
By Dany V looks so squishy!
The more examples of that EDK Stamping Plate that I see have me leaning ever closer to taking the leap to stamping…
This is the first month in a long time I’ve been interested in several polishes. I’m looking at Phalish, KB Shimmer, Femme Fatale and Envy Lacquer.
Loving the Kathleen & Co!
Glisten and glow and PFD are must haves this month!
Monarch Lacquer is a beautiful flakie.
PFD!
Looking forward to getting Pahlish as well.
