Polish Pickup February 2024 Wild Animals: Noodles Nail Polish Love Birds

 *press sample*



Hello hello! How is it almost February?! Wasn't last week Christmas? I hope you are all staying warm in your respective areas. It's been on and off cold, but nothing unbearable like much of the US had last week. Tonight I've got the Polish Pickup shade from Noodles Nail Polish to share with you. 
This month's theme is Wild Animals, and like last month, I'm also an animal lover and can't wait to see what's in store. 

The shop officially opens at 11:00 AM ET Friday, February 2nd and ends on Monday, February 5th 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 can happen, but you have to be in the Facebook group for the notification) on the PPU website. 








Noodles Nail Polish Love Birds (2 coats)
Inspiration: a photo of 2 love birds 
Price: $12
Bottle Limit: 250 bottles

This month Natalie was inspired by a photo of love birds (very Valentine's Day appropriate indeed!) and Love Birds is a bright pink (leaning red) crelly base with neon pink glitters, lime/gold iridescent glitters,  and purple/red/gold/orange color shifting flakes. The flakes aren't too in-your-face and adds nice visual texture to the polish. It was fairly opaque and only needed 2 regular coats for full opacity. Love Birds does dry with some texture due to the glitters and flakes, so I recommend a glitter-smoothing topcoat followed by a layer of quick-dry topcoat to get a finish like the swatches above. 

Wishlisting for Polish Pickup is going on now, so get shopping! Don't forget, this one does have a bottle limit, so if you're interested, don't wait too long to purchase. You can find out more about Noodles Nail Polish on their website, Instagram page, Facebook page, and Facebook Fan Group.

Warm State




Naps and Nails Z-Z-Z-Zombies (2 coats) Transitioning 
Inspiration: Paranorman
Price: $13
Bottle Limit: 100 bottles

I absolutely love this! Z-Z-Z-Zombies is a thermal flakie polish that transitions from green when warm to deep blue when cold with metallic pink/purple/blue flakes. The flakes go so well with the polish, and really adds depth to it. Swatches show 2 coats and it applied flawlessly. Even with the flakes, it only needed one coat of topcoat to smooth it all out. I love it! 

You can find out more about the Little Box of Horrors box on their Facebook page. Make sure to set your alarms to pick this one up since it has a smaller bottle cap.

January 2024 Polished Gamers Box: Naps and Nails My Biggest Adventure Yet

 *press sample*



Hello yet again! The next polish I have to share with you from Naps and Nails is for the Polished Gamers Box.  It doesn't matter if you're a gamer or not; these polishes from the makers are so fun and beautiful. You may remember this box used to be monthly, but they recently changed to a quarterly schedule with each quarter having a different theme. This month's theme is Playstation vs. Xbox, and the pre-order will begin on Monday, January 15th and run through Friday, January 20th. Shall we get a closer look at what Naps and Nails has in store for us? 









Naps and Nails My Biggest Adventure Yet (2 coats)
Inspiration: Little Big Planet 3
Price: $13
Bottle Limit: 100 bottles

What a shifty polish! This one is so amazing! My Biggest Adventure Yet is a teal base with loads of shimmery shifts of purple, green, and gold. I have a prominent C curve on my nail, so this one is extra shifty on my nails. This one applied perfectly in just 2 coats, and it dried with no texture. It needed only one coat of topcoat, and removal was a breeze. 

If you want to see swatches of the items available for the box ahead of time, you can always join the Polished Gamers Box Facebook Group to see what's coming from all the brands.
