Polish Pick Up Rewind July 2021 featuring Emily de Molly, Grace-full Nail Polish & Hit The Bottle

This month for Polish Pick Up they are doing a rewind where each maker brings back some of their previous PPU shades.  I thought why not grab the ones that I have previously swatched and reviewed and put them together in one post.  As someone who doesn't spend much time on Facebook I know how easily things can get lost in the PPU group so hopefully this post will help out.  Now disclaimer - I was previously sent all of the polishes for review purposes when they were initially released (and my swatches are from then too) but I wasn't asked by anyone to do this post.  In fact, they don't even know that I am doing this post.  To save everyone some time I am going to cut and past my reviews as well.  So without further ado, let's take a step back in time...

EMILY DE MOLLY

Alive By Magic is a dark red jelly base filled with red to green shifting shimmer.  The glitters predominately show red/orange and gold with some green showing up on extreme angles.  I absolutely love the glitters in this polish!  And for a red it's really nice (I'm not much of a red polish fan).  The formula of this is fantastic and easy to use.  You can easily stop at two coats, however it was a little see through at the tips for me - plus the extra coat of polish gives it more of that squishy look which I love!  My swatch shows three coats.

Late Night Blooms is a purple base filled with pink/purple/green aurora shimmer and silver holographic micro glitters.  OMG I am OBSESSED and completely head over heels in love with this polish.  The colour is amazing and so is the shift, and the formula is fantastic.  It is easy to use and applies evenly.  Now for some strange reason I didn't write in my notes how many coats I used but I have a feeling my swatches are three coats - but it is a polish that you can stop at two coats with.

GRACE-FULL NAIL POLISH

Brainard's Goo is a vibrant green to gold aurora shimmer.  This is such a cool polish.  It's a great colour and it shifts so well too.  The formula is easy to use but it is a little sheer on the first coat.  I found that it built up beautifully on the second coat, however it was still a little see through at the tips so I added a third coat.

Mount Wellington is a multichrome with aurora shimmer that moves through blue, teal and purple.  This polish is super shifty and just gorgeous.  I love it.  The formula is great and applies easily.  I used three coats for my swatch.

HIT THE BOTTLE

Guilded Mystique is described as a slate blue polish with a pale gold to silver sheen.  I love this polish.  It's such a gorgeous colour.  The formula is also amazing!   It only requires one coat (which is what I used for my swatch) and it stamps!

Hit The Bottle do have a second shade called Colliding Of The Realms but unfortunately I don't own that polish to share swatches and my review.

All of these beauties will be available from the Polish Pick Up from July 2nd until July 5th.
