Retro Haul - Polish Pickup October 2023

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I really appreciate your honesty. Catching up with time lost is its own thing. Gathering up the bottles of polish and pieces of memories is healing. Thank you for sharing ❤

@@catherinelynnfraser2001 thank you. It’s nice to clean things up and like put things away. And kind of reflect on that time in my life and leave it in the past.

And now we need to see all the unopened packages! I just love you so much. I blocked out the hair bands for the pre goth and depressive existential dark vibes like my 80s high school heart. I had U2 and the Smiths , dog collars combat boots and my beloved trench coat. Ahhhh memories.....class of 87. The 80s and 90s were the best music! I was in Abq at UNM in the 90s and loved Alice in Chains and all those Seattle people. Remember hackysak? More packages please! Sorry about the health stuff, I get it.! Bladders are the worst!💜

Girl you are taking me back, axl rose was everything. And you are so right when nirvana came on the scene their music was so different then anything else. Such good times. I still listen to 90’s music now. I didn’t pick anything up that month but that wildflower is giving all the 90’s grunge vibes plus Halloween vampy vibes too.

[@polishtalk4696]

@@elizabethwilders4690 Axl Rose was everything, that is no lie. Guns N Roses were soooooo big. Their November Rain video was my favorite.

Nice polishes, but more importantly, I love your transparancy and honesty in this video. I can certainly relate about being stuck in a moment in time due to life 'life-ing'. I don't know you personally but I totally feel from your vibe that you are not only a beautiful person on the outside but on the inside as well. ❤

[@nickitraylor9125]

Please don't think you need to apologize! As someone who has been divorced (a long time ago) and widowed (almost 2 years ago), it's sooooo much to process, so many things change- whether you want them to or not, whether they're good changes or not- and however you need to process and get through things is whatever it needs to be! I hope opening the older packages brings you joy and makes good memories- and, I am here to tell you, time really does help. I know it's hard to think about the future, but, at least for me, things have gotten so much better and I am living a great life, and I hope and pray that for you too!!!

[@polishtalk4696]

@@nickitraylor9125 I’m so sorry, you are right so many changes. Changes I never wanted and still have to deal with. I’m so glad to hear you are doing well after everything you have been through.

Love seeing your retro hauls Jo, keep them coming! Absolutely no judgement, I buy the polishes and open them, and then not wear them for years!!🙈 The only ones I can remember ordering from that month are the PFD’s and the Vapid, which of course I haven’t worn yet! We should twin with the PFD’s!! You are strong my friend and an inspiration to me, prayers for you and healing for your body!!🙏

I remember when grunge came out. I felt it was a great change of pace. My first year in high school, I went through an extreme baggy/hip hop phase with my clothes. I gotta give it to my strict military dad. He was probably happy I wore clothes 2x my size. 😂 I do remember that when the movie "The Crow" came out. That goth look took over a good handful of my classmates. The 90s were awesome! There were so many different ways to express yourself. Those were the days. 🥲 Great picks! Hope you feel better!

[@polishtalk4696]

I’m sorry you’ve been through so much, and I’m sending prayers and healing vibes. My Mom went through chemo while divorcing my Dad, so I get how that time in your life wasn’t normal. As far as that 90’s polish haul, the Vannessa Molina had swatches that were so beautiful and a lot of people were disappointed by the reality of that one. I think I got that one, the KB Shimmer, and the Vapid that was called Jar of Flies. Haven’t worn a single one yet 😂🫠 Wishing you the best of luck ✨💖✨

"A bedazzled dill pickle" was not a combination of words I thought I would EVER hear and I loved it! The 80s isn't really "wearable" fashion.....everything just screams 80s from that time, and I believe that designers can't update that era to make it fashionable again. Leather and animal print will always be staples because they can be "updated to become timeless", if that makes any sense. Just my two cents🤷‍♀️.I hope you can get your medical concerns addressed/resolved soon.

I definitely loved the hair band era! In fact, my daughter is named after a Cinderella rip off band named Britny Fox (tho she is Britny Dawn). My first concert was Aerosmith and Guns n Roses. And I was Poison obsessed! The reason hair band fashion hasn’t come back around is because it takes a long time to grow out your hair and we all know that hair spray in that volume is bad for the environment! 😂
