Polish Pickup February 2018 Sugar Rush Brands A Through E

It's almost time! The Polish Pickup is an exciting monthly pre-order extravaganza for all kinds of indie polish and complimentary indie beauty and jewelry products. Every month, members of the Facebook group Polish Pickup Pack vote on a theme, and all the makers produce products on that them. Then the products go up for pre-order the next month and you can buy one or all! And the shipping is flat rate $3 for US customers, no matter how much you buy. Amazing! For February the theme is Sugar Rush - inspired by all things sweet and delicious, I ate waaay too much candy while trying out all the products. This month you can pre-order these from February 2 at 11AM EST through 11:59PM EST February 5. This month I have received the majority of the products this month and have been on an adventure photographing them all! I have almost 400 photos to show you and it will be split up over three posts. Today I have brands starting with numbers through letter E. Click on the title of the product to a direct link to the item's listing in the store. Let's get started!
