Press Sample of the Polish Pickup
November 2019 | Fairy Tales

How is it already time? I feel like I just pushed out the October Polish Pickup post last weekend… but here we are again! It’s time to take a look at the Polish Pickup November 2019 Fairy Tales!

This last month was a rough one, and I took on a few less things while I got my stuff situated. Basically, my son needed me. He’s 13, and overall is more independent, but the loss of Wiggles hit him harder than I think I even anticipated. I’ve been mentally preparing him for it for awhile, but this was the kitty he’s had since he was a newborn. The one who probably plotted his death when I brought Jacob home from the hospital. So I was a little quieter on the blogging front while we healed from her loss. We’re all doing better since, but we still miss her.

I rescued her when she was a 2-3 years old and she was scared of everything, but she and I bonded immediately. When Jacob’s father would come home from work and we’d go out, she got insanely jealous and a couple times, she peed on his father’s pillow and the vet said she was associating him with bad things. When he came home, I left… so that was her retaliation. We worked on that and it stopped – but… she was my kitty through and through. Over the years she bonded with Jacob and was his shadow for the last 9 years.

I had a few setbacks happen last month, but this was the hardest blow.

Jacob (3 months old) and Wiggles

This month I have 89 or 90 items to share (I’m still waiting on a couple in the mail, but not sure how many… 2 I think?) and it was a good month. I definitely had a lot of “gasp” moments when I opened up the polishes, which is a really good sign!

I did get a new light set up. It’s a bit better than the old set up, and about 10 sets of photos were done with the old, the remaining were done with the new. I see a definite difference is accuracy and it doesn’t lean as warm as it was. So thanks to Glamcor for sending an incredible set up for me to test out.

I was also happy with the theme. I’m a dreamer and a romantic, so overall – I love the idea of a ‘Happily Ever After’ but I also am realistic enough to know that things don’t always go as you want them to. I am divorced, so I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to being a dreamer. I am happy to see the mix of Fairy Tale types that makers selected – where we see the good and the bad in a sense. The darker fairy tales mixed in with the happy ones.

This is an EXTREMELY photo heavy post. As of right now it’s 89ish items with 3-7 photos PER item. If there is something specific you are looking for – on desktop hit CTRL + F and type what you are searching for. Otherwise, enjoy the long scroll down the page, and of course the giveaway at the end.

Price: $13.00 | Cap: 80 Bottles

Alter Ego | Make A Banshee Blush (Glow In The Dark)

Inspiration:“One of my FB group mods is Irish. She grew up hearing stories about banshees and wanted the banshees to be represented in a positive light.”

Anchor & Heart Lacquer | Mermaid Tears Base Coat

Inspiration:  Inspired by the magical fairy tales of the Nordic/Scandinavian regions

Description:  Mermaid Tears is Anchor & Heart’s deep nutrition base coat and can be in one thin coat under your favorite polish, or on it’s own as a 3 week treatment. Perfect for brittle or weak nails, or to help maintain healthy growth! Formulated with amino acids to stimulate the formation of new Keratin cells while the weak sections grow out.

Scent: Winter Berry – frosty raspberry intermingled with orange zest and warm musk.  It’s a very light, warm fruity scent. It isn’t super strong, but I do pick up the raspberry and musk most.

For these images, I used a coat of Mermaid Tears, then added silver holo glitters, stamped snowflakes with Cuticula Elaine and added another coat of Mermaid Tears on top.

Price: $8.50 | No Cap

For acetone additives, you add a vial (or half… depending on preference) to 8-12 oz of polish remover. Most add it to acetone remover, but I actually add it to my purple remover which has added benefits already and this gives it a boost. You don’t have to only use acetone remover with it.

Very light and mainly tropical fruity mix. It reminds me a tropical fruit smoothie almost.

Limitless is a 5 Free Scented Quick Dry Top Coat. This quick drying formula is FREE of Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Toluene, and Formaldehyde.

Mic Drop base coat is a combination of ridge filler, strengthener, and sticky base coat. Fill in ridges, strengthen, and have a long lasting mani just in one application.

After swatchers received Mic Drop Base Coat – the supplier for this mix changed unexpectedly and there wasn’t time for Cuticula to get new bottles out to swatchers. The new formulation should be just the same, but the main difference will be that the light green tint to Mic Drop will no longer be there. It should be a milky white instead. I say ‘should’ because I haven’t seen it for myself.

I used a black base coat and DRK Nails Dropping Pebbles as regular polish – no magnet used during application, then I used this top coat, and after each nail I used a magnet.

Price: $7.80 | Cap: 210

Fox Fire Wax & Bath Co. | Vegan Hair Oil

Inspiration: Our inspo is Rapunzel and her beautiful long hair

This is not scented at all.

I have thick but fine hair and it tangles fairly easily, but I also have an oily scalp so I have to be careful with oils. Vegan Hair Oil is to be sprayed into your hand, rub both hands together, then smooth over hair. If you have an oily scalp like I do, avoid going down to the root on your scalp. I’ve been using this for a week, and my hair has been smooth and easy to manage and doesn’t feel weighed down. A little goes a long way and I only spray 2 spritzes into my hand to smooth over my hair.

Ingredients: Diheptyl Succinate, Capryloyl Glycerin/Sebacic Acid Copolymer, Argan Oil, Camellia Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sunflower Oil, Calendula Extract, Sunflower Extract, Aloe Extract, Irish Moss Extract, Marshmallow Extract, Vitamin E

Ginger Fizz Boutique | Catch Me If You Can Wax

Inspiration: Once upon a time in a land far, far away there was a crushed leg, a candy cane crutch, and an evil lord… Shrek’s sidekick Gingy has been through a lot, but he is still alive and kicking (with one leg that is!) Ginger Fizz Boutique’s November contribution for Fairy Tales is Catch Me If You Can – Gingy the one-legged gingerbread man and his trusty candy cane.

Description: This cute little one-legged gingerbread man comes with his trusty little candy cane. Both the gingerbread man and the candy cane come scented in a unique gingerbread and icing scent – a freshly baked gingerbread man with nutmeg, cinnamon and freshly grated ginger topped with creamy vanilla icing. Gingy is hand painted.

This smells so good and has a Fall/Holiday vibe without being overpowering. The sweet and the spice are well balanced. The gingerbread scent is actually not powerful in this, it’s well balanced with the creamy vanilla. It’s sweet and spicy, but not overly so on either end.

I love the inspo for this because my boyfriend loves Shrek and can actually imitate any character in the movie. Gingy and Donkey being the best 2. When I showed him this wax, he yelled “NOT MY GUMDROP BUTTONS!”

His other favorite thing to say it “That’s a nice boulder!” from Donkey.

Price: $5.00 | Cap: 75

You have to really like plum to like this, which I do.

KBShimmer | The Nothing (Magnetic)

Inspiration: the cover art for The Neverending Story

“We all have movies that we loved as children that can still bring to mind fond memories when we look back on them as adults. For me, The Neverending Story was one of them. Maybe it was because I loved to read, but the thought of reading a book and becoming part of the story was captivating to me. Bastian, a young book-lover, steals The Neverending Story against the wishes of a bookstore owner and is soon caught up in a world called Fantasia, its fight against The Nothing, and a journey to save the Childlike Empress. I won’t spoil the movie, but I was caught up in the twist toward the end and really wanted a pearl headdress.”

Description:  The Nothing is a magnetic polish that has a rich emerald green color that shifts to navy blue. When a magnet is used, you see more of the holo glitters and pink-to-blue-shifting micro flakes that give this polish a galaxy-like feel. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.

Lilly Anne’s Garden | Unpoisoned Apples Lotion

Inspiration: Snow White

Description: Lilly Anne’s Garden lotion is a holy grail item of mine. Each month I buy backups. If I receive it for review, I buy a backup jar and if I don’t receive to review, I buy 2 jars. I use this daily both at home and at work. It soaks into my skin easily, a little goes a long way – and it doesn’t leave me feeling greasy. I also double it up as a cuticle cream throughout the day. It’s a thick cream and the photo below of it on my cuticles is an accurate representation of how I slather it on at the end of the night. I let it sit for 10 minutes and then massage it in all over my fingers, hands and wrist area. When I’ve had a super intense swatch session, I apply some cuticle oil, then a layer of this lotion on top to “seal” the oil in and both work their magic.

Unpoisoned Apples is a tart green apple and peppermint scent. It’s an interesting combo and it’s fruity and minty… and I’m loving it. I will be buying a backup jar.

Ingredients: Distilled Water, Emulsifying Wax NF,Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil,Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Stearic Acid, Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol (and) Sorbic Acid, Fragrance.

Price: $5.50 | Cap: 80

Lilly Anne’s Garden | Lip Balm Duo

Inspiration: Snow White

Description:  We have another lip balm duo! This month we have candy apple and peppermint! Candy Apple is a sugary sweet, candy coated apple scent and peppermint… is peppermint. I held onto the peppermint because that’s my favorite, and I always compromise with my son – and he only gets one, so he snagged Candy Apple. My son is a lip balm freak (seriously… last year for Christmas he got a stocking full of lip balms and he loved it more than a candy filled stocking)

These lip balm are smooth and moisturizing. They have a light flavor to them to match their scent, but neither are overpowering.

Ingredients: Beeswax, Butyrospermum Parkin (Shea butter), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E Oil) ,Flavor.

Price: $6.00 | Cap: 40

Inspiration: Frozen

i really don’t know how you can do all this swatching. I think my favorite is rainbow fish because it looks like the kind of topper I’ve been looking for. There are a few others I like too. Not as many as last month or the month before but I’m not mad about it lol.

I think my #1 choice would have to be Ethereal – Under the Sea or Jior Couture – Magic Orange Tree. Under the Sea has at least 2 great looks – on it’s own or over black (wonder how it would look over other colors). Magic Orange Tree is just an interesting color I have never seen before. I would also like to say to Lisa and her family that I’m very sorry for your loss.

Once again these lame themes of constant fairy tale/Disney/princess & Potter ‘inspirations’ leave something to be desired, would be nice to have a cool theme or just.. different. I’ll have to go off the board for this one and choose Riverwood Apothecary Shower Steamers – sounds intriguing, everything is always for baths and the scent sounds amazing so worth a try.

Reply
Lisa Heath October 28, 2019 - 8:22 am
