Polish Pickup's Spring-themed March 2021 pre-order is open through March 8 at 11:59PM EST. In case you didn't already know, 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. I have products from Alter Ego, Anchor & Heart Lacquer, KBShimmer, Lollipop Posse Lacquer, Nail Hoot Indie Lacquers, and Pretty Beautiful Unlimited. Let's check them out!

Alter Ego What a Big Boy! is a turquoise shimmer with black holo microglitter. I wore it in three thin coats, but two will cover, and it had a nice, medium-fast-drying formula. It needs top coat to completely smooth.
Inspiration: Blue Morpho butterfly
Price: $10 / no cap
Anchor & Heart Lacquer Mermaid Tears Nourishing Base Coat in Fly Away scent is a milky pink base coat scented with mandarin, pink berries, sheer waterlily, tuberose, white peach, lily of the valley, amber, musk, and sandalwood notes. This fragrance is delicious! When I wear it as a base coat it has a medium dry time and smooths out imperfections. It is shown here in four coats as a full mani.
Inspiration: butterfly wings and bird song
Price: $8.50 / no cap
Anchor & Heart Lacquer Spread Your Wings & Fly, Butterfly is a rose gold holo shimmer with copper, gold, tan, caramel, and rose gold holo glitter in various shapes. It will work as a top coat in one coat, but I wore it in four coats. It will cover in three. It has a nice formula and quick dry time. It needs top coat to smooth. This is so holo in the sun!
Inspiration: Mariah Carey's 1997 album Butterfly
Price: $12.50 / no cap
KBShimmer Restoration Drops Polish Thinner is a product that can be added to nail polish, base, or top coats to increase the fluidity of the texture if they get thick. It contains 4 oz, which will last a long time and contains only Butyl Acetate, Ethyl Acetate, unlike cheap beauty supply thinners, which contain additional ingredients which can cause glitter and flakes to degrade. This thinner is an essential product in my mani arsenal and I frequently use it for my base and top coats. I highly recommend it for any polish collector!
Price: $7 / no cap
KBShimmer With the Band is a navy blue jelly with red/orange/yellow/green/blue multichrome iridescent flakes. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. It has a great formula and good dry time. It needs top coat to completely smooth.
Inspiration: Nicobar pigeons
Price: $11 / no cap
Lollipop Posse Lacquer The Tulgey Wood is a neon red jelly with pink/orange/gold multichrome iridescent Aurora shimmer and indigo/purple duochrome iridescent crystal flakes. I wore it in four thin coats and it had a fantastic, quick-drying formula. This is super-bright in person and the shimmer and flakes really glow against the stained-glass-like base.
Inspiration: The Spectacle Bird from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland, that sits atop the Tulgey Wood signpost.
Price: $13 / no cap
Nail Hoot Indie Lacquers Owl-titude is a pink-beige with holo shimmer, blue-pink duochrome microflakes, and gold microflakes. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. It has a quick dry time and needs top coat for shine. I recommend thin coats to minimize bubbling since this is a shimmer-heavy polish.

Price: $11.25 / no cap
Inspiration: a hummingbird
Price: $12.50 / 150 cap
