Brain Cancer Awareness Nails

CW: cancer, death

My father passed away on September 1, 2020. He had been diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, in April of this year. 

Supermoon Lacquer Moon Healing Escalation

I didn't do much Black Friday shopping this past year. Definitely didn't do much of that "treat yo self" BF shopping either. Only bought one polish, and that was from the Supermoon Lacquer sale. There was only one Moon Healing Escalation for sale, and I had the fastest ninja fingers. I was amazed I was the lucky snagger, as owner Mardi called me!

Everything I Hauled from September's Polish Pickup

Greetings, y'all! I'm here with my latest haul from Polish Pickup!

If you're new to Polish Pickup, it is an online store set up during the first weekend of the month where a bunch of polish makers come together and make exclusive polishes modeled after a common theme. September 2018's theme was horror movies. I don't consider myself a die hard horror fan but I do enjoy them. Especially psychological and werewolf flicks. I get full moon fever whenever I see werewolf related stuff.

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.

Stamping Mani: Geometric Nail Art Featuring Supermoon Lacquer Which Tastes Sweeter

I recently saw someone on the Supermoon Lacquer Facebook group use a Supermoon Lacquer polish as a stamping polish. The result was fantastic. Perfect transfer. I don't know why it didn't occur to me to try out my few Supermoons for stamping since they're so opaque. Maybe it's because I usually prefer straight up stamping polish unless I know that a regular polish will likely (or does) work? Can't hurt to try it myself. I tested Which Tastes Sweeter from the February 2018 Polish Pickup over OPI I'm Sooo Swamped! (one of my all time favorite greens).
