Every Polish I Hauled from August's Polish Pickup

Greetings, y'all! Today I have my haul from the August 2018 edition of Polish Pickup.


For those that don't know what Polish Pickup is, it is like a Facebook custom group and an indie box fused together, only better. Every first weekend of the month, a bunch of nail polish makers craft polish and nail care items around a theme voted on in advance by group members and post them for preorder on the Polish Pickup site. Some items are capped, others not. But you can buy whatever you want as long as the items are up for grabs. There's $3 combined (domestic) shipping too!

This month's theme was on musicals. I'm not a huge fan of theater musicals but I do enjoy Disney movies. August is my birthday month so I was particularly excited to see what came up for sale. I can never buy everything I want (who can?), but I got a good bit on my wish list.

Every Polish I Hauled from July's Polish Pickup (except one)

And that sole exception is only omitted because it won't be coming my way for a good six to eight weeks. I waited until my other final orders from July's Polish Pickup arrived to write this, and I'm as giddy to see all these goodies as the day they arrived in my mailbox.

You may be asking yourself right now- what is Polish Pickup? Glad you asked. It's kinda like a Facebook group custom and an indie box fused together, only better. Every first weekend of the month, a whole bunch of nail polish artisans craft polishes, nail care items, and other items around a  theme voted on by group members and post them for sale on the Polish Pickup website. Some items have caps, others don't. Since it's not an indie box you can buy whatever you want while they're up for grabs. It's like a little indie polish candy store for a weekend and it's as amazing as it sounds. There's combined (domestic) shipping too!

There used to be non polish related items such as wax melts, makeup, and jewelry for sale too, but the sale front grew so massive that it was losing its main focus. Most Pickup customers still wanted these items, so non polish items are being spun off into its own Indie Pickup later this month.

Normally there is a monthly theme. Past themes include cocktails, old Hollywood, fandom, books, and space. The hosts of Polish Pickup took a well deserved break in July, however, so there was no pre-selected theme. Instead, the theme was "Rewind" where indie makers brought back their most popular or requested items for one month. Unlike previous months you had to go to the actual sellers instead of a convenient "all in one place" website.
