PRESS SAMPLE
Hello Sweeties! It's time for Polish Pickup December!
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 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(US)!
PPU Starts on a Monday and is lasting 5 days!
Dec 2nd-6th!
*Also, I apologize now for the length of my nails changing throughout the post. Unfortunately, I had a good corner break mid month while I still had a good chunk of PPU polishes left to swatch, sad face!
