For those that don't know, The Polish Pickup is a Facebook group where makers create a polish(or nail related item) based on a certain theme and all of the polishes are sold in the Polish Pickup store at the beginning of each month. Customers then get to pick which polishes they want and pay a flat rate shipping of $3(for US & Canada), cool right!? -- International orders will be shipped at cost.
All of these Monsters and Mythical Creatures are available for pre-order on
October 6th at 11am EST through
October 9th 11:59pm EST
All items will ship a minimum of three weeks after the pre-order closes.
This allows time for each maker to make their polishes and get them mailed to Polish Pickup.
