Press Sample
Hello Sweeties! It's time for Polish Pickup April 2021!
If you don't already know, Polish Pickup is a Facebook group where makers create a polish/product based on a certain theme and all of the polishes/products are sold in the Polish Pickup store at the beginning of each month. Customers then get to pick which polishes/products they want and pay a flat rate shipping of $3(US)!
The April 2021 theme is The 90's!
And I have 47 of those polishes and products to share with you today!
