Hello hello! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I have to do some traveling for work later this week, so I'll be busy getting everything together for that. My husband will be home watching over our aging animals (including 2 cats who are 18!). It's so hard for both of us to leave at the same time at this point. Tonight I have the new Noodles Nail Polish Halloween Trio which will be available this Friday, September 29th at 5 PM EST and each shade will retail for just $10.50 each. Shall we to the photos?

Naps and Nails Hella Handmade Creations September 2023 Polish and Halloween Duo

 *press samples*




Hello hello! It's Monday yet again, but I'm super excited because my parents will be coming to visit this weekend! I don't get to see them often enough (they live out-of-state), so I appreciate any time we can spend together. Tonight I have 3 polishes from Naps and Nails for Hella Handmade Creations (HHC) which starts later this week. New to HHC? It works similarly to Polish Pickup where there's a pre-order for exclusive polishes with themes chosen by the brands participating. The pre-order opens every month on the 14th @ 12:01 am Eastern time and closes on the 21st @ 11:59 pm Hawaii time. During this time customers are able to shop all different brands within the shop and have everything ship from one location. This month Naps and Nails will continue their series on The Nun, Annabelle, and Conjuring Collection as well as having a special Halloween duo only available this month. 

Shall we get a closer look at these shades?

Naps and Nails 90's Halloween Quad 2023 Swatches and Reviews

*press samples* 





Hello hello! It's a short work week and I'm loving it. I hope those of you in the US had a wonderful Labor Day on Monday. I rested up after my travels to San Francisco and I'm fine with that. My husband's birthday is this weekend so we'll be celebrating. Tonight I've got a 4-piece Halloween Collection inspired by Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Doug, and The Wild Thornberries. I was born in the 80's, so I was a little on the older side for a couple of these shows, but I definitely watched some Doug, Hey Arnold, Rocko's Modern Life, and The Angry Beavers on Nickelodeon. These will be available on Sunday, September 10th on the Naps and Nails website for $13 each or all 4 for just $50. 

Shall we get a better look at these beauties?

Polish Pickup September 2023 Haunted History: Noodles Nail Polish Bewitching Bridget

 *press sample*



Hello hello! Guess who is super tired? Yup, I flew to San Francisco for work last week, and had to take a red-eye back the other day. I'm just not cut out for red-eyes anymore. I have a feeling I'm gonna need multiple naps this week. Anyway, can you believe Polish Pickup (PPU) is upon us already? This month's theme is Haunted History which is appropriate for Halloween which is quickly approaching. The website is open now for making your wishlists, so stop on over and set that up if something you want has a bottle limit. It seems like things have been selling out fairly quickly which is great for the brands participating. 

The shop officially opens at 11:00 AM ET Friday, September 1st and ends on Monday, September 4th at 11:59 PM (but if a polish has a bottle limit and sells out before the end of the pre-order, it's gone, unless you get lucky and the cap gets raised...which is rare) on the PPU website. Just a heads-up, PPU raised their base shipping rates from $3 to $4 for the lightest packages. If you get heavier items, I believe shipping prices get higher from there. Let's get a closer look at this month's Noodles Nail Polish offering. 






Noodles Nail Polish Bewitching Bridget (2 coats)
Inspiration: Bridget Bishop. She was executed during the Salem Witch Trials and was believed to be a witch due to being outspoken, deliberately dressing differently, and “bewitching” people. She is said to haunt “Turner's Seafood” in Salem, which was built on land that she owned.
Price: $12
Bottle Limit: 300 bottles

When I saw the bottle of Bewitching Bridget, I knew I'd love it. It's described as a deep navy crelly base with gold/copper/green color-shifting flakes with green/orange iridescent glitters, copper holo glitters, and metallic caramel glitters. While this is described as a crelly, it seemed a little more squishy and jelly-like than a true crelly. I wasn't quite sure if it would be a 2 or 3 coater, but I'm happy to report that I needed just 2 coats for full opacity. It will dry with texture, so I recommend a glitter-smoothing topcoat followed by a QDTP for that glass-like finish. If you prefer 2 coats of a thicker topcoat, that should work as well. Most months Natalie is able to not have a bottle limit, but this month there is a cap of 300 bottles, so be aware of that. 

There you have it, folks. What do you plan on picking up this month? Start your wishlist now so you don't miss out on any capped items. You can find out more about Noodles Nail Polish on their website, Instagram page, Facebook page, and Facebook Fan Group.
