Hello, hello! How is your week going? It’s going to be a long work week as I have to work 10 days in a row for the Pen Show. Luckily I don’t have to travel this time. The Polish Pickup starts a little late this month, but this is the last Pickup before the July Rewind, where polishes from the previous month are re-released based on demand (and brands’ ability to source the necessary materials).
This month’s theme is cartoons, which I’m very excited about. I’m a very old-fashioned guy, I watched Looney Tunes as a kid and I still watch cartoons to this day. The inspiration this month is almost endless. Wishlists are already available, so get your cart ready!
Noodles Nail Polish Use Your Noodle (2 coats: 1 coat of Glitter Smoothing Top Coat and 1 coat of QDTC)
Inspiration: PB&J Otter
Price: $12
Bottle limit: 200 bottles
Honestly, I had to look up PB&J Otter. No wonder I didn’t remember it since I was a bit younger (it debuted in 1998). That being said, Use Your Noodle is a beautiful deep violet jelly base with violet/red/purple shifting flakes and fuchsia/pink/magenta/purple hexagonal glitter. So soft! I thought I would need 3 coats because it’s jelly, but 2 was enough and applied perfectly. I found it easier to apply the first coat with a bit of glitter and flakes, then apply the second coat in normal strokes. Because of the flakes and glitter, it leaves a nice texture when it dries, so I recommend applying a top coat to smooth out the glitter, then a quick-drying top coat for a glass-like finish. Otherwise, you’ll feel the polish still on your nail and the polish may “eat” the top coat a bit. I love it!
