Hi loves! I have this months Polish Pickup to share with you. 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 April theme is Flowers!
And I have 29 of those polishes and products to share with you today!

Disclaimers:
*All photos/videos 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/videos 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.
*My Reflective swatches are also shown with low lighting and camera flash.

KBShimmer | Rose Were The Days
The rose is such a classic flower, and with Christy's last name being Rose, it was clear to her what flower would inspire their April nail polish. The velvet-like petals in a huge array of colors make them a favorite for floral gifting. Deep red expresses love and romance, while yellow and pink offer thoughts of friendship and cheer. With their heady fragrance, roses find themselves to be a favorite among gardeners, too.
Described as a deep, magenta-leaning polish with pink and red tones. This vibrant, cool-toned shade is amplified with an orange to gold shifting shimmer. Depending on the lighting and viewing angle, this polish can skew pinker or more red. Holo glow flakes add a dewy holographic sparkle.

KBShimmer | Hand & Body Scrub
Floating among vibrant green foliage, bright pink lotus blooms are such a beautiful pop of color. White, yellow, and pink in hue, these water-loving florals are a sight to see, and are the inspiration for their April scrub, Pink Lotus & Lime.
With top notes of green and citrus like the lotus blossom, this semi-sweet sugar scrub is brightened with notes of key lime, kiwi slices, and pineapple. Hints of sultry jasmine add depth to this floral scent. A vibrant mix of pink, lime, and cream swirls borrow their hues from the lotus blossom for the perfect flower-inspired scrub. Use daily for best results.
