Hi loves! I have this months Polish Pickup to share with you. 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 polish/products are sold in the Polish Pickup store at the beginning of each month. Customers then get to pick which polishes/products they want and pay a flat rate shipping!
The April theme is Video Games!
And I have 17 of those polishes and products to share with you today!

Disclaimers:
*All photos/videos are taken indoors under 30W Daylight Bulbs with a Canon DSLR Camera unless otherwise stated on the photo itself.
*I angle my hand in direct lighting as well as low lighting to capture as many of the shifts as I am able.
*All photos/videos shown with a fast dry top coat unless otherwise stated.
*All Magnetic Particles in a polish disperses over time, in my experience 9 times out of 10 I am unable to keep a thin, crisp line to stay put (unless using a gel magnetic polish); my photos are shown with a 20+ minute dry time so the magnetic line may seem more crisp then if I were to have kept the polish on for longer.
