Uno mas! Hehehehehehe!! We all know that 3rd times a charm right?? I’m so excited to bring you a trio inspired by the show, Parks and Recreation, the Galentine’s Day Collab. This trio celebrates gal pals and female friendships. It jumped from pop culture into the real world and has morphed into a fun day of celebrating with your besties and friends in your life. Since we are a small and tight knit community here in the indie nail polish world, the masterminds behind Quixotic Polish, Polish ‘M and Cameo Colours created this trio exclusively for the Crazy 4 Crellies Facebook Fan Group.

How cool is it that?!

This 3 piece set will be for sale on the Polish ‘M site and individually on each makers shop starting Thursday, Feb. 1st. There will be 20 pre-made, ready to ship boxes available and if they sellout the trio will go into pre-order. Make sure you grab a trio for yourself and your best gal pal!

Moore Swatches: February Polish Pickup – Sugar Rush

So you all know I have a sweet tooth, right? No? Well, fun fact #144 about me, I love all things sweet and I don’t discriminate! I love cookies, pies, cakes, brownies, candy, ice cream, the list goes on and on. I’d skip breakfast, lunch and dinner just for dessert… it’s the best meal of the day! 4 out of 5 doctors say, “a cookie a day, keeps the doctor away.”

Kidding! Just kidding!! #notreally

But seriously though, I love sweets so this month’s polish pickup (PPU) was just up my alley. The members suggested and voted on sweet treats and the creations these makers came up with are just as yummy as their inspiration.

Today I have an all inclusive post of polish, plates and more from 11 amazing makers contributing to the February PPU. Don’t forget to set you alarms and mark you calendar for Friday 2/5.So what do ya say we take a bite out of something sweet! Enjoy…

Moore Swatches: LynB Designs – Feb POTM and Black Panther Collab Box

***PRESS (PR) SAMPLE NOTICE ***

Well hello there suga face! I’m so happy you decided to come on back today! Can you believe February is a week away? In just 7 short days we will be ushered into the 2nd month of the year. #mindblown

To help ease the blow, LynB Designs has created another fantastic monthly POTM inspired by the February birthstone, amethyst. In addition to that, she has also joined creative forces with Sarah of Bee’s Knees Lacquer for a Black Panther Collab!

Can I be honest? I am not the least bit interested in seeing the movie. Don’t get me wrong, the trailers and previews look amazing and the story line is action-packed and the digital graphics are to die for, but I think after working so many years in a movie theater, I can’t stand being in one now. But as luck would have it, I’m sure Jason will drag me to see it. But not all hope is lost, at least there’s popcorn, right?

Let’s take a look at the polish. Enjoy…

Hey Suga Foot! Glad to see you made it back today! It’s a rainy Tuesday here in MD and the skies are grey but that’s not gonna stop us from having a great day anyway, right? Right! In fact, we are going to use the grey skies as inspiration for today’s post.

I hope to be able to complete a month long tribute to my dad by wearing a grey mani daily and these polishes are just what I need. If you love all things grey nail polish, then this is the Facebook group for you.

As for the Feb COTM, all I can say is… WOW!!! Mary put all my hopes and dreams into a polish. I wonder how she knew?!

So sit back and put your feet up and let’s take a look at the polish. Enjoy…

Hey Suga! Welcome back! I hope you all had a pleasant weekend. I sure did! We finally got our van fixed so no more 3am mornings for me! Yes, honey, I was getting up at 3am for the last 2 weeks to take Jason to meet his ride for work… ugh. It was an adjustment but I am happy that it’s all over. Saturday I spent time with family, which is ALWAYS fun.

So how many of you caught the games [football] yesterday. Yep, the Patriots are going to the Superbowl… again 😦 Honestly, I was hoping to see Jacksonville take the win. But I am happy that the Vikings took the ‘L’ since they beat my Saints last week…hehehehe. Yes, I’m petty like take. Congrats Eagles!!! Regardless, I will probably only be tuning in the Superbowl for the halftime show and to see how the Budweiser/Dilly Dilly commercial continues and JT

But let’s talk polish. Today I have the February Polish of the Month (POTM) and the Mild & Wild Collection from Colors by Llarowe (CbL). I’m sure by now you are familiar with POTM, the monthly polish available for only 1 week! But the Mild & Wild Collection is new. It consists of 8 polishes that featuring 4 Mild (M) and 4 Wild polishes. Each set includes a holo, a shimmer, a crème and a topper.
