Happy Friday! I am working on getting this post up early, and planned on a few days ago – but I still have 5 items I am waiting on to show up… but it looks like those won’t be arriving until early next week – so it’s time to get this show on the road. We’re going to be taking a look at the offerings I was sent for the Polish Pickup September 2022 shop and the theme this time is Scary Vibes!
There are 2 guarantees with Polish Pickup themes…. July will always be Rewind, and September will always be geared towards Halloween.
For the Polish Pickup September 2022 Scary Vibes theme I received 58 items so far and 5 are in transit that I’m aware of. Fedex is holding By Dany Vianna, Indie by Patty Lopes and Penelope Luz in customs still, Vapid Wax and Luna Wax are in USPS hell making their way here. So once they arrive – I will pop them in here.
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 Sweet & Sour Lacquer and Vibrant Vinyls which was sent as PR this month. I purchased the Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues and the top coats were sent as pr or as gifts.
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 Glow In The Dark polishes I used this UV flashlight to “charge” my nails for photos (affiliate link)
Wishlisting will be opening this Sunday at some point in the early to mid afternoon.
Let’s jump on in and see what we have going on.

Pretty Grape is a nod to those boldly flavored sugary treats. Like cracking open a can of grape soda, or chewing a yummy piece of grape gum, Pretty Grape is a boldly scented scrub bursting with a juicy grape scent. Notes of plump concord grapes blend with sun-ripened berries for a sweet scent with a hint of sparkle, making it tart and not at all like medicine. If you could transform the grape flavor of a sucker or soda into scent, this scrub would be it!
To me… this smells like a grape jolly rancher completely!

Inspiration: Inspired by decorating for the fall season and carving pumpkins
Description: Here for a Gourd Time is a wax that I adore – and I want the scent bottled up so I can use it as a hair mist or body spray.

A combination of orange, strawberry, raspberry, lemon, and peach with a hint of sugary sweetness is mixed in with our luxe emulsified sugar scrub formula.
I brought this into work and had a couple people smell it and they all knew immediately that it was gummy worm without knowing the name. It smells that dead on like the candies.

Acetone Additive by Sweet & Sour Lacquer | Chocolate Fear-Mint
Inspiration: Inspired by Mint chocolate
Description: This nourishing and deliciously smelling acetone additive is perfect to combat the harshness of pure acetone. Shake the additive vial to incorporate the oils with the water (it’s magic!), and then pour the entire 30ml (1fl oz) into 6-8oz of acetone.
You can start with a lower additive to acetone ratio if you’d like, and then add a little more at a time until you reach your desired moisturizing effect. You can also add a few drops of this acetone additive to your acetone in a separate container using the included twist top, if you prefer to work with smaller amounts.
I have slightly smaller pumps now with different types of remover in them, so depending on the remover I add a little at a time until I get the desired additive amount. The drip tip makes it so easy to use and pour!
The scent reminds me of those mint meltaway chocolates!

There are so many that I love for September! If I had to narrow it down, I would say Crystal Knockout, The Spirit Flame because I love that it glows in the dark & Noodles Nail Polish, It’s Fricken Bats because that is just Halloween in a bottle for me.
#1 must have is the wildflower lacquer a ghostly good time
Noodles and kbshimmer scrub!
Ethereal looks stunning this month. My fav color :)
Gotta get Stella Chroma this month!
Kathleen and co. Wondering the difference between Nothing ever scares me more than saying good bye from last month and this month’s Bkl
My shop app was confusing me because the picture was not correct
I think it’s the Glisten and Glow polish for me this month. I love this theme every year!
So many unique products this month! I have no doubt that they’ll be used for some equally unique Halloween nail art. I have a hard time envisioning combinations and designs, so I’m not sure yet what colors will become must haves. I do think I’ll try the Double Bond by Vibrant Vinals this time around though.
All the fall scents!!
I love bluebird, lemming lacquer, and painted polish
That purple polish, Ghost, is such a beautiful shade!
Paradox Polish Halloween Treats!
Paradox polish is another must have
Paradox Polish’s Halloween Treats is my number one this month, love the look of both the warm and cold states
Might be my first Painted Polish.
This is a great month, really hope I can grab the pouch and wallet for my daughter’s birthday. The polishes are amazing will definitely get some of those as well!
I love all the oranges!
I think I will have to get the Painted Polish. Thank you for all your hard work!
I love the bees knees polish!!
Noodles!
Wow this month has so many amazing items!! The KB Shimmer is stunning! Amazing swatches as always, thank you for all you do!
OMG that BKL is so unique and gorgeous!
Bluebird and NOL are definitely on my wish list!
My must have for this round is the Kathleen and Co
I’m so excited to try My Bugs! It’s definitely a unique polish in that it doesn’t look like it would GITD… But I love that it does
I’ve never been into fx polishes but they’re SO strong this month – think I’m going to have to go for some GITDs and maybe magnetics too! But I think my top picks have to be By Dany Vianna – THAT Wicked Witch and MTK – Gray Lady Down, they’re so unique and I have nothing like them in my collection. Also definitely going to be picking up Sweet & Sour’s acetone additive, mint chocolate is my favorite scent, and probably going to grab their polish too. The Salad Fingers ref totally unlocked some memories for me.
Sweet & Sour Lacquer polish looks so unique this month.
KBshimmer and Night Owl
The night owl is a must have for me
Garden path lacquers! I need it!
That’s my #2. I really liked the swatches of Garden Path I’ve seen so far
I’m looking forward to the Rogue polish and stamping plates
So many spooky polishes – it will be tough to narrow my choices down! One that is top of my list is Red Eyed Lacquer I’m Crackers About Cheese – I don’t have anything like this one!
Right now, the BKL polish is at the top of my list.
I love the wallet! Also the Night Owl and Paradox are calling to me!
Too many to name! Halloween/fall polishes are never good for my wallet!
Top pick is KB Shimmer, it’s gorgeous and inspired by my favorite book ❤️!
I love the Ethereal this month!
Seriously loving Lucky13!
You the real MVP, thank you! Halloween PPU gets me every year.
My top pick is Cupcake Polish or KB Shimmer. So excited for Fall and Halloween.
The Bluebird and Pretty Beautiful Unlimited both look like something I don’t have, so I think I’m gonna start with those.
I’m already planning Christmas gifts for my daughter’s. There’s sooo much to like! Thank you for doing this, it’s great to see everything in one spot. ❤️
I am in love with that Colores de Carol magnetic polish. Gorgeous!!!
So many oranges. I know I’ll get the green from Lucky13’s Beware You’re In For A Scare, and maybe I Smell Children. Everything else looks so amazing it’s hard to choose.
WOWWW!!! I’ve seen a few posts on FB for PPU and I was sure I was only gona pick out a few this month but your swatches have me changing my mind!! Heheheh I was definitely getting KBShimmer, Bluebird and Sweet & Sour Lacquer, but now I’ve added Ethereal, Alchemy, Heather Hues, Dreamland Lacquer & Cameo Colours Lacquer…woah! I’ll definitely need to narrow it down. But thank you for your beautiful swatches!!! I love seeing them every month ♥️♥️♥️
Man there’s so many gorgeous ones this month! I think my faves are from Ethereal, Cupcake, and Paradox!

For this month it would be Sassy Sauce!
For this month it would be Sassy Sauce and KB shimmer!
I really want to try the acetone additive. I love anything chocolate mint and I really need to try an additive asap!
So many pretty ones. I really love the Atomic Creepy Paper; this is the first time I’ve seen it!! The Crystal Knockout is lovely. 2 not shown I want are the WFL and PFD. And being a blue girl the Ethereal No, You Hang Up First and Dreamland’s Final Girl caught my eye.
Well, as always, you’ve opened my eyes to some new colors I hadn’t expected to like or buy. Well done, Lisa.
I’m most enamored with Night Owl Lacquer’s Magic Potion. Love the combo of purple and green!
Ooooo this is gonna be another big order month for me, I can already tell!

I’m LOVING Lemming Lacquer. Their colors are so beauiful and vibrant. I’m sad they changed the bottle shape but that’s OK.
Got to same Camp Nightmare and Creepy Circus. Also grapping the Vibrant Vinyls top coat. Love that one.
I love that wallet so much! Also I need Cadillacquer- toxic there’s so many I need this month
It’s so hard to pick just one… I love everything this month!
I absolutely must have Noodles Nail Polish: It’s Freakin Bats and about 16 others…
The ethereal lacquer looks good
My wife thinks I’m doing this for her, little does she know though that this color drop is my *jam*.
*evil laughter*
The PfD purple w gold flakies polish looks like a must-have for me. I hope that’s one of the five you’re still waiting on. Eager to see your swatches of it.
She actually doesn’t send to me to swatch, so it’s not one of the five
Jior Couture’s Beautifully Spooky is so fun & captures a Halloween sky/sunset & moon!
Speaking of moon… Alchemy Lacquers’ Harvest Moon is another beauty!
Poetry Cowgirl also captures the Halloween fun with Haunted Pumpkin Party!
& I just saw Pumpkin Head Dwight swatched and am even more in Love… That orange glitter does it for me! It reminds me of the magic of Halloween when I was little!
Lucky 13 is calling my name.
KBSHIMMER and Whatcha Indie are gorgeous!
If I could combine Cameo’s poppin’ blue sparks with Crystal Knockout’s ghost flakes & eerie glow, that would be an amazing orange polish.
I will say Bee’s Knees, though way too sheer, is definitely creative, and perfectly spooky tale – kudos.
Glampire and grape soda!
Ethereal is at the top of my list!
I cant wait for that Sassy Sauce!
My absolute must-have this month is the HTB stamping plate. I also love the Ethereal and Bluebird polishes this month!

I’m going through my polish and I have one from Black Dahlia Lacquer labeled “Etheral Dreams” “Sept 2022 PPU” and I can’t find swatches of it anywhere. I’ve even looked for it as “Ethereal Dreams” and I can’t find anything. Do you know why that is? Do you have swatches of it?
