Polish Pickup Dreamscapes August 2023 Swatches and Review

For the first time since I started this blog in 2014, I missed posting for a month. This was a combination of one of the busiest work months of my career, health issues, and a flood in my basement. This month is shaping up to be hard, too, with our museum reopening and another death in the family, but I'll do my best! Polish Pickup Dreamscapes is still open for pre-order through midnight EDT today, August 7. I've got products from KBShimmer and Music City Beauty to show you.

Music City Beauty 9th Anniversary Duo Swatches and Review

Kim of Music City Beauty has just celebrated her 9th Anniversary as a polish maker! I still remember finding the brand, then known as Smokey Mountain Lacquers before Kim's move to Nashville, in my never-ending search for indie holos. I still have my first order receipts in my email inbox - I started out on November 10, 2013 with an order for Forever Classy, a taupe jelly holo and A Walk Through Eden, a forest green shimmer holo. I had to go back again on November 29 for Showstopper, which is the polish I really think of when I reminisce about the beginning of Kim's brand - this was a super-glowy red shimmer holo that was perfectly named. Another huge highlight of my blogging career, and my long time as a customer and blogger of the brand, was getting to work with Kim on Smokey Mountain Lacquers Trick or Treating Under the Stars, which was inspired by my fond memories trick or treating as a kid in Minnesota. It was a black jelly with red/gold multichrome flakes representing fall leaves, and holo microflake for the stars of a clear, crisp Halloween. This was back when these holo microflakes were still kind of a novelty! Anyway, Kim still does customs if you are interested in something like this of your own - she is really good at them. I've rambled old-man style long enough, so let's get to the new duo at hand. These are available through Saturday September 10 for 30% off with code 9YEARS

Music City Beauty The Prugly Collection Swatches and Review

It's still a little warm here, but the fall polish collections have started and I am here for it! I would say the fall and holiday color stories are the most up my alley. Music City Beauty The Prugly Collection is a set of four fall colors that plays on the pretty-ugly label folks often give complex colors. For me though, these are just plain pretty! I find these sorts of colors very flattering for yellow/tan complexions and they work well on my cool yellow undertone. Let's have a closer look at these!
