First, a little background on what Polish Pickup is.
Polish Pickup is a group on Facebook that is an interactive experience that allows you to submit theme ideas and then everyone votes for their favorite choice.
After the winning theme is chosen and announced different nail polish brands will create polishes, nail art items, or bath and beauty products, based off of the chosen monthly theme, that will be available for preorder on the Polish Pickup website for the first Friday of each month at 11 AM EST.
It stays open for four days, until the following Monday at Midnight EST. At that point, all the products available are gone, and won't be back as everything is Limited Edition for that month.
Since all polishes are pre-ordered, they will ship a minimum of 3 weeks after sale commencement.

If that didn't sound awesome enough, get this: Polish Pickup ships for a flat fee of $3 in the US and Canada. They also can now ship internationally at cost!
Now, on to the Cuticula!
Cotton Candy Frosted Cake Scented
Nail Tape &
Timeless Top Coat
Cuticula did it again, Cotton Candy Frosted Cake is such a delicious scent, you are definitely going to want to have!
Cotton Candy Frosted Cake is described as a scrumptious blend of rich, decadent white cake laced with sweet fluffy cotton candy and topped with creamy sugary cotton candy frosting.
The first thing that hits my nose is a mix of the cotton candy and the frosting. It's a deliciously sweet blend, but not at all overpowering. It's a perfect, subtle scent, that will waft up while you're working and make you wonder what yummy treat you forgot you ate earlier.
Cotton Candy Frosted Cake will be available in both the Nail Tape & Timeless Top Coat.
The Scented Nail Tape is a baby blue with some tiny glitters. The glitters are pink, blue with some holographic sparkles mixed in as well.
Nail Tape is used for various things, but what I primarily use it for is creating nail art. What you do is, you apply it around your cuticles like I have shown above prior to doing any art, or even just to aid in clean up when applying your nail polish. Once it dries, it acts as a barrier between your skin and whatever nail art you are doing. Once you remove it, the skin underneath is clean from all the nail polish, which saves your skin from constantly being abused by acetone, which can be extremely drying, and is very helpful in these winter months.
Also, the peel on Cuticula is like no other latex I have used. It always peels off in one clean pull, it doesn't leave anything behind like the Amazon brand I used to use prior to finding this. It is SO satisfying. Check out almost any video on my Instagram and you can see for yourself.
After stamping, but before peel.
After peeling off the Nail Tape. You can see the majority of the mess is gone, only leaving a small amount of clean up to be done. This is a huge time saver when doing a watermarble design especially.
The finished product, after clean up, and after applying Timeless Top Coat in the Cotton Candy Frosted Cake scent!
Timeless Top Coat is a 5 Free, Scented Top Coat. While it is not marked as a quick dry top coat, I find that it dries to the touch in about 3 minutes.
That said, don't go digging through a drawer, or opening cans just yet. It is dry enough so you can play with your phone, type on a computer, take pictures of your amazing manicures, those kinds of easy activities. Within 40-45 minutes, you are ready to go though.
My routine is I usually paint my nails, top coat, take my pictures, clean up my messy nail art area, and then go jump in the shower, and go to bed. That all usually takes me about 40-45 minutes and I haven't had the top coat fail me yet.
It's super shiny, doesn't dull holo or flakie polishes, and does not cause shrinkage. I use it for nail stamping all the time too. I get a nice bead of the top coat on the end of my brush and float it over the polish and haven't had any complaints.
Since I think I rambled a bit, I'll give one last reminder, Polish Pickup sales will go live February 2nd at 11am and end February 5th at midnight.
