Polish Pickup is doing the theme of Fairy Tales for November 2019! The Polish Pickup is a Facebook group and pop-up shop that offers monthly pre-orders of indie polish and crafts made to themes voted on by members of the group. The pre-order runs from Friday, November 1 at 11AM EDT to Monday, November 4 at 11:59. I've got eleven of the products to share this month so let's get started!

Bee's Knees Lacquer When Water Sang Fire is a green-toned gray jelly with holo microflakes and red-to-green multichrome shimmer. It is worn here in three thin coats and has a nice formula. This has a wide brush with rounded end.
Inspiration: Inspired by the tale When Water Sang Fire by Leigh Bardugo, this polish reflects Ulla unusual skin tone, her ambition to do the impossible, and her determination.
Price: $12 / no cap
Blush Lacquers The Golden Goose is a gold mega holo with holo shimmer and microflakes and gold microflakes. I wore it in three thin coats and it had a perfect, fast-drying formula. This has a wide brush with rounded ends.
Inspiration: The Golden Goose fairy tale
Price: $12.50 / no cap
Grace-full Nail Polish Mother Goose is a dark gray plum (cool) to pink-mauve (warm) thermal with purple-to-gold multichrome flakes and pink-to-green multichrome shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats, but two cover just fine. It dries quickly with a matte texture and is shown here with top coat.
Inspiration: Mother Goose
Price: $12 / 100 cap
Great Lakes Lacquer We're All Mad Here is a berry red with blue-to-red multichrome shimmer and scattered holo shimmer. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover. Nice, fast dry time and no brush strokes.
Inspiration: The Cheshire Cat
Price: $13 / no cap
Leesha's Lacquer Mooshka'an is a turquoise/teal jelly with gold-to-blue duochrome microflakes, gold shimmer, and copper microflakes. I wore it in four thin coats for maximum depth and color, but two or three will cover. Nice, fast-drying formula.
Inspiration: The Ojibwe fairy tale “ Waynaboozhoo and the Great Flood” (Mooshka’an means flood in Ojibwe). The color choice is inspired by the water and earth.
Price: $11 / 125 cap
Lollipop Posse Lacquer Chicken Legs & Mortars & Pestles, Oh My! is a gray-black jelly with holo microflakes, red-to-green multichrome flakes and multichrome iridescent flakes. It is shown here in three thin coats and it had a quick-drying formula.
Inspiration: Here at Lollipop Posse Lacquer, we love a good old weird witch! That's why we decided to pay tribute to the Baba Yaga, an enigmatic figure from Russian/Slavic folklore who may appear to help or hinder. She traverses the forest in her chicken-legged hut, and flies through the air in her steel mortar and pestle.
Price: $13 / no cap
Moonflower Polish La Belle is a green gold shimmer with duochrome gold-to-green shift. It works perfectly as a regular polish in one or two thin coats or as a stamping polish. The dry time is quick. The stamping here is Über Chic 22-03 plate over Great Lakes Lacquer We're All Mad Here, also from November PPU.
Inspiration: Belle's dress and the gold details in the ballroom scene of the live action version of Beauty and the Beast.
Price: $10.50 / 55 cap

Music City Beauty A Mother's Wish is a magenta pink with green-to-blue duochrome shimmer and iridescent flakes. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover. Good, medium-drying formula. The flakes have a little texture that is smoothed with top coat.
Inspiration: Thumbelina
Price: $11.50 / 90 cap
Nail Hoot Indie Lacquers The Water Nixie is a lilac with silver holo glitter and shimmer and pink-to-gold duochrome microflakes. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover. Nice, fast-drying formula. This has a little bit of texture but not too much and it smooths easily with top coat.
Inspiration: the Water Nixie fairy tale
Price: $9.99 / no cap
Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Inconceivable! is a black jelly with magenta-to-green multichrome shimmer, silver holo microglitter and shimmer, black holo microglitter, and five kinds of multichrome flakes. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover. The dry time is quick, and it needs a single layer of top coat to smooth.
Inspiration: The Princess Bride
Price: $12 / 150 cap
The Soapy Chef Off to Work We Go Scoopable Wax is inspired by Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and features layers of seven different wax colors and scents! It comes with a plastic scoop or you can scoop it out with your fingers (I also like the brand's scoopable waxes as cuticle balms!) It has a fresh but not overpowering herbal fruit scent. I've also included a video of 10 minutes of melting sped up to 1 minute.
Description: This 8 layer, 4 oz, scoopable wax is a blend of traits of each of the dwarfs and a little bit of Snow White on top.
Scents From bottom to top:
Bashful(red with pink glitter): White tea, ginger
Sleepy(blue with yellow glitter): Lavender, honey
Sneezy(Pink with black glitter): Pepper, rosemary
Happy(Orange): orange sorbet, coconut cream, vanilla
Dopey(Lavender with green glitter): fruity cereal and milk
Grumpy(Brown): bergamot, citrus, cognac, tobacco

Price: $8.50 / no cap
Ten minutes of melt sped up to one minute:
