Hello Sweeties! It's time for Polish Pickup November 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 polish/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! (shipping info at the bottom of the posts)
The November 2021 theme is Game Night!
And I have 42 of those polishes and products to share with you today!

*All photos are taken indoors under 30W Daylight Bulbs with a Canon DSLR Camera.
*I angle my hand in direct lighting as well as low lighting to capture as many of the shifts as I am able.
*All photos shown with a fast dry top coat unless otherwise stated.
*All Magnetic Particles in a polish disperses over time, in my experience 9 times out of 10 I am unable to keep a thin, crisp line to stay put (unless using a gel magnetic polish); my photos are shown with a 20+ minute dry time so the magnetic line may seem more crisp then if I were to have kept the polish on for longer.

Scent Notes:
Top: Sea Salt Mist, Key Lime, Aloe Vera
Middle: Dune Grass, Lemon Blossom, Coconut
Base: Amber, Coastal Jasmine, Sun Bleached Driftwood
Simply spray 1-2 times over the tips of each hand to speed the outer layer for drying. That's it! It's a simple product, easy to use, and great for the impatient or for when you're in a rush. The sprayer is a fine mist sprayer so you can reach all your nails on one hand in 1-2 sprays.
This product contains ingredients that bond with the solvents in nail polish to help them evaporate faster, namely disiloxane. This is the ingredient that evaporates and bonds with solvents the fastest of all the silicones in drying products. Drying products that do not contain this ingredient, won't dry your nails nearly as quickly as Xpress Drying Spray. There is also camellia and jojoba oil to hydrate your skin and cuticles.

New Polish Pickup Shipping Info:
-Packages weighing 0.0oz - 7.0oz will still be $3. Think of this as about three polishes. For most folks, this means that shipping will be just the same as it always has been. If you like to grab just a few polishes or items over the weekend, then you'll continue to pay the same $3.
-Packages weighing 7.1oz + will now ship for $5.
How does this apply to combined orders?
Don't worry, fellow chain-shoppers! This change applies to the total weight of all the orders you place over the weekend. So if you grab a polish and top coat on Friday, you can still go back and grab the waterslide decals on Monday and still stay under the $3 weight class.
Will I still get my combined shipping refunds?
Yes, absolutely! No matter what insanity the USPS engages PPU are 100% committed to keeping the combined shipping x refunds concept.
How will refunds work?
Basically the same as they always have.
If you make three purchases over the weekend, each over 7.1oz, then you will see a $10 refund later in the month.
If you place three 4oz orders over the weekend, your final shipping total will be $5. You can expect a $4 refund coming your way soon.
