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!
The September theme is Haunted History!
And I have 26 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 | Sugar Scrub
Fall has a few tells for letting us know that it's just around the corner. Mornings start to get a bit brisk, and shorts are set aside for pants. Kids start picking out new backpacks and lunch boxes as parents count down the days, and luscious apples covered in caramel and nuts start showing up in stores. That perfectly paired combo of a sweet yet tart crunchy apple covered in rich caramel just hits the spot, ushering in Christys favorite season.
Apple Caramel Crunch sugar scrub is a nod to that favorite fall treat. Starting out with notes of a sweet, juicy apple, you can almost taste that first bite. The nutty notes of rich caramel and brown sugar add depth to the apple notes. Every once in a while, a hint of cinnamon tickles my nose, completing this fall-inspired scent.
