Polish Pickup Cocktails & Mocktails June 2020


Alchemy Lacquers Frambojito is a raspberry jelly with pink/red/gold/green multichrome iridescent shimmer and flakes, and gold holo microglitter. I wore it in three thin coats but it will cover in two. Perfect, fast drying formula. It is pretty smooth, but needs top coat to shine. It is inspired by the raspberry mojito.

Price: $11.50 / 150 cap US / 5 cap UK

Bee's Knees Lacquer Skooma is inspired by the Elder Scrolls game's illegal potion. It is a grayish lavender jelly with. blue-to-magenta duochrome shimmer. I wore it in four thin coats, but it will cover in two or three. It had a medium-fast dry time. As with any shimmer-heavy polish, I recommend thin, even coats - let each layer dry well between coats.
$12 / no cap

Colores de Carol Cheers to the Red, White & Blue is a white jelly with blue and red shred glitter and silver holo microglitter. I wore it in four thin coats for maximum glitter coverage, but it will be opaque in two or three coats. The shred glitters definitely have some texture, so I recommend patting them into the tacky surface of the polish before applying a plump top coat. It is inspired by blue vodka lemonade.
$12.50 / 250 cap US / 20 cap UK

Lollipop Posse Lacquer To San Antonio, with Love is a neon pink-toned-red jelly with red/orange/gold/green multichrome iridescent flakes. I wore it in four thin coats and it had a nice, quick-drying formula. You probably only need two or three for coverage. Shown with top coat.
Inspired by The Sangria Margarita from La Gloria, a beautiful, authentic Mexican restaurant found in the Pearl Brewery area of San Antonio, Texas. My husband and I fell in 100% LOVE with San Antonio when we visited for the October 2019 TIS. One of my best memories of the trip is an amazing afternoon spent dining by the riverside at La Gloria, enjoying this epic margarita and some of the best Mexican cuisine we’ve ever had.

I wore it in two thin coats on its own, and stamped over Nail Hoot Indie Lacquers June PPU polish with Lina Nail Art Supplies Make Your Mark 01 plate. It has a great, fast-drying polish and works perfectly as both a regular polish and for stamping.
Inspired by Blueberry Lemonade cocktail at Disney Spring's The Boathouse Restaurant.

Necessary Evil Polish Blame It On the Juice is a neon jelly with silver holo shred glitters, magenta, turquoise, and purple glitters, and red-to-gold duochrome shimmer. I wore it in four thin coats for maximum glitter payoff, but you can get coverage in two or three coats. This polish is black light reactive, and the last photo shows it in blacklight. The formula was good and glitters came out easily - they are best smoothed down by tapping them into the polish surface when it is still tacky and finishing with a plumping top coat. My bottle had a little glitter sinking, but that will be fixed in the finished version. This polish is inspired by Lizzo hitting the Patron bottle in a sparkly yellow bodysuit.
Price: $12 / no cap

Paint It Pretty Polish Purple Rain is a plum purple (cool) to medium gray (warm) thermal with scattered holo shimmer and pink-gold-green-blue multichrome magnetic fleck shimmer. I wore it in four thin coats for maximum depth, but it will cover in two or three. It has a medium-fast dry time and needs top coat to smooth. I am showing it here first magnetized and second without magnet. My method for magnetizing is to paint each of the first few layers with my finger resting over a strong bar magnet. I wait to move on to the next nail after the polish is tacky-dry. On the final color coat and after the top coat, I use a finer bar magnet held over the coats until dry to get a line with more contrast. This polish is inspired by the Purple Rain cocktail.
Price: $12 / 70 cap US / 5 cap UK

Peachtree Polish Peachtree Party is a neon orange jelly with green-to-blue-purple multichrome flakes, green flake glitter, multi-colored iridescent microglitter, and green shimmer. I wore it in four coats for maximum depth, but two or three will cover. It dries quickly and fairly smooth, but is shown here with top coat for shine. It is inspired by the label on the Peachtree Schnapps bottle.

Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Crystal Ball is a celadon green with strong holo shimmer and multichrome iridescent shimmer and flakes. I wore it in three thin coats, and it had a great, fast-drying formula. It needs top coat to perfectly smooth due to flakes. It is inspired by the Starbucks Secret Menu Crystal Ball Frappuccino.
