JULY 2024 | Polish Pick Up | Theme: REWIND | Live Swatches

Hi everyone!
You can purchase these polishes here: polishpickup.com
**The Vanessa Molina polish I swatched looks a little different than the photos posted. I am thinking it may be a 2.0 version that will be for sale. I believe the photos on the Facebook page show a thermal change, which will not be in the newest version.

I am definitely getting that Monarch Lacquer Truth or Dare. I passed it up the first time but definitely not again!

[@indianlacquerade]

Hey, thanks for the swatches. My list is way too long. I've wishlisted it and will mull over what I need to cull 😆esp since international cost/shipping is freaking expensive. PPU had suspended international shipping during Covid, but they restarted it last year. Unfortunately for my wallet, 🤣 Love from India

[@katelynp12]

You convinced me to get Goblins and Ghoulies the first time around and OMG yes it exceeded my expectations. So pretty 💜💜 plus the name is cute lol

[@fullercorp]

I have I Forgive You- love a brown jelly with contrast. I have to figure out if i ALREADY own the others....

[@jenniferchu952]

Thank you SO much for swatching these amazing shades. My list... Never Sleep Again, Aaaaah!, Rainbows After the Storm, and... YES...Shake Your Shamrock!! Woo hoo! I missed this last time! Not this time! 🤣❤

[@bitsofpolish]

You're going to love shake your shamrock ❤❤❤❤ it's gorgeous 🥰😊

[@pinkTonya24]

Monarch has quickly become one of my favorite nail poliah brands ! I have bought so many of her gorgeous polishes since discovering her Mix it Monday series !

[@bitsofpolish]

Mine too....her brushes are chefs kiss ..

[@frickinfrick8488]

Your swatches and reviews are so helpful, thank you!

[@heeymercedes]

Anytime!!

[@alicexiao1003]

out of the ones you've shown, I'm definitely getting Ethereal's Lorraine and Dreamland's Shake your Shamrock!

[@MineNoTouchy]

I always look forward to your swatches! I'll be picking up Goblins and Ghoulies!

[@berthavelia]

added shake your shamrock to my list, your swatch looked INSANE. thank you for this video.

[@heeymercedes]

That polish is gorgeous! You won’t regret it

[@conniekimber7585]

I laughed at your comment about Shake Your Shamrock. It's a beautiful polish but I know I would never wear it. Last month's The Sea Haunt, however, was totally for me and I can't wait to wear it. I'll be getting Monarch this month as I talked myself out of it in March and have regretted it.

[@sierra734]

Getting Shake Your Shamrock ☘️ for sure i cant wait to wear as a pedi tfs

[@biogirl1381]

i’m definitely getting lorraine, ether dragon, goblins and ghoulies, zombie claw, dreamland, sassy sauce, garden path, phoenix, lumen, and mysterious uranus. i have no idea how i’m going to narrow down my wishlist this month. i’m in trouble.

[@littleleslie13]

I’m excited to buy Shake your Shamrock ☘️ ty for your beautiful swatches ✨

[@BrittMFH]

I bought a close dupe for SYS 💚 but now question that I might want the real thing! ☘️ I am bummed that a lot of polishes i really like are not on the PPU website but rather on the makers' websites - too much in postage to order individually. Thank you for your swatches! 😊

[@lisapierce525]

Hi Mercedes, I’ve been watching your channel for a while and didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed. Sorry abt that. I am now! Thanks for all your gorgeous swatches. I’ve heard several utubers say they weren’t go to buy a certain polish until they saw your review of it. Wanted to let you know!❤

[@bitsofpolish]

I'm eyeing a few for rewind 😂 not that I need more polish, but..... I have a backup of Sour 🍏 Rings, Dunkie Junkie and will be purchasing Calores de Carol, cadillacquer Orchid (missed it the first time) abs that gorgeous Dam polish...but that's it 😅😂

[@sunflowerstefi267]

I will need to take out a mortgage if I get all the ones I want. 😮 But seriously, there are a lot I want and then there's the ones that are from the makers website. I've already warned my husband, he says "Are you setting a limit?" I said "No. It is what it is." 😂😂😂

[@MelCo_NailPolish]

Thanks for taking the time to swatch all these beautiful polishes. 👍 Shake Your Shamrock is my favorite. 😍

[@Gotaluvpolish]

You have so many to share and I’m SO glad! Yes! I’m getting a backup of Dreamland for SURE!! How can I not?! 😂

[@heeymercedes]

lol!! Yea Dreamland is a must, no matter what!!! I was excited to share all of these!

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

Heads up to everyone that NOL will have the annual customer appreciation sale in July if you pick up Kind of a Big Wheel. On the PPU site, I’m most looking forward to Dam, the other NOL, Shake Your Shamrock and Goblins and Ghoulies, which I’m getting even though I have Cuticula’s Bakers Gonna Bake already. Off site, I want the Jen & Berries and Geralt Can Have All My Coins, By Dany Vianna Aqua Tofana, and Monarch’s Belladonna. I already have several great ones coming back that had low caps like Hit the Bottle and Chameleon’s Mermaid. Will you do any BTS videos at PBE?

[@davianavillalta4210]

Thanks for the video! Would you be able to compare Shake your Shamrock to Baja Blasted by PFD in a short or instagram, please? 😊

[@aproposheather4796]

I was so disappointed in NOL. I was hoping they’d bring back Nothing Burns Like the cold. If you or anyone reading this comment has a bottle they’d like to part with, I’d be so happy to purchase or trade.

[@tammy2090]

I'm getting Never Sleep Again, Goblins and Ghoulies, Poison Garden and probably Mistress of Evil and Blue Poison Dart Frog. I purchased Blessed With Beauty and Rage yesterday and am waiting for Chamealeon Nails Little Mermaid to post for sale. Shake your Shamrock is pretty, but I don't enjoy wearing neon green very much. So I'm content duping the vibe with my collection.

[@cynthiajfaulkner8655]

The green Garden Path Lacquer is gorgeous. You won’t regret that one.

[@frickinfrick8488]

Did you find the zombie claw polish glowed visibly in the dark? I’ve been burned by previous polishes of theirs that barely glowed at all

[@preciousshortie]

shake your shamrock and goblins and ghoulies look amazing!

[@heeymercedes]

They are!

[@UDKeyes]

I was disappointed in Shake Your Shamrock. It's not very glowy. 🤷‍♀️

[@tracyc.1005]

Do you have it or are you going by her video? Her video doesn't look like what is on my nails. I just so happened to have just finished a mani with it and I find it to be very glowy. This is my first time wearing it and I will be getting a backup.

[@UDKeyes]

@tracyc.1005 I wouldn't have said that I was disappointed in it if I didn't actually own it. I thought that the shimmer would be more prominent. But I'm glad that you are enjoying it!

[@nailedthecolour6429]

I appreciate your comment, @UDKeyes. I’ve bought some polishes where I was expecting a strong shimmer, only to be disappointed. Kind of like with spiciness in foods, where everyone has a different tolerance for spice & heat, with polishes some of us expect a LOT of glowiness & eye-popping shimmer, while others are happy with a more toned down or subtle ‘glow’. So thank you for sharing your opinion, I it’s helped me to decide on this polish.

[@UDKeyes]

@nailedthecolour6429 Thanks for your reply! I know that lots of people really like this polish. But I basically just bought it based on the hype. My expectation was sooo high, but I was kind of let down. It's a pretty polish, but it didn't wow me. I've been buying indie polishes for about 10 years and I'm kind of jaded now. Lol!

[@nailedthecolour6429]

I have a few polishes like that. Close up photos & swatches under bright lights showed off a lot of shimmer, but when I get them home irl I can barely see the glow. I’ve been disappointed too many times, and so I really appreciate your comment. Besides, neon green isn’t really my thing. Instead of this one I’ll be getting a couple of polishes that I know I will love & wear often. Not everyone is supposed to like every polish, not even the more popular polishes.

[@RunningNotStopping]

Girl u gonna break your damn arm contorting like that consistently.

[@heeymercedes]

I guess it’ll break showing off gorgeous polishes

[@avamarshall1209]

I’m getting Cuticula and monarch. Have no desire for neon greens, but it’s pretty on you!

[@RunningNotStopping]

@@heeymercedes uh yeah
