Polish Pickup February 2026 – Cute but Deadly
I managed to miss January’s Polish Pickup “Y2K Comeback”, so I felt compelled to make up for it in February…there were lots of cute (but deadly) polishes to choose from.
I only ordered six polishes, so I was surprised to find a 7th polish in my package. It was another bottle of Phoenix “Succulents”, labelled ‘Batch 2’. This bottle is suspiciously pinker, so I’m guessing the pink was missing from the first batch? Amazing customer service!
Envy Lacquer “Are they made with real Girl Scouts?” ($13) is inspired by the Wednesday Addams’ quote. How could I resist?
Glisten & Glow “Mischief, Mayhem & Soap” ($14) is a magnetic polish inspired by Brad Pitt in Fight Club.
DRK Nails “Speak Out” ($13.60) is inspired by Erin Brockovich. I’ve never seem it, but this is a sexy polish.
Baroness X “Leprechaun” ($13.50) is inspired by the cute AND deadly Leprechaun…they must not mean the one from the films, because he is not exactly cute.
Jior Couture “Quirky Quokka” ($15) is inspired by the quokka’s penchant for throwing their offspring at predators to make a quick escape.
BCB Lacquers “Set Your Heart Ablaze!” ($13.75) is a solar polish inspired by Mitsuri Kanroji from the show Demon Slayer – my niece dressed up as her for Halloween one year!
Lots of polishes to try…I need to get back to painting my nails twice A WEEK instead of once…
Oh Behave!
I know I have a pile of Polish Pickup polishes from previous months…but August’s polishes are SO good…
BCB Lacquers “Oh Behave!” is a vibrant fuchsia jelly with purple to blue shimmer. It’s inspired by Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and the shifting shimmer makes this polish look like his silly velvet suit.
This is two coats of “Oh Behave!” over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Tropical Oasis” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Froot Loop“.
Aesops Fables
Blanca LIED…green nails didn’t help me win SHIT in Atlantic City. Well, except for that $100 on the Crazy Rich Asians machine that I eventually lost again…still.
BCB Lacquers “Aesops Fables” is from February’s Fables & Folklore Polish Pickup. It is a minty shimmer that shifts from pink to gold. It is STUNNING in real life and has incredible wear time. I washed my hands HOURLY in Atlantic City and this polish went the distance. My only complaint? I am really missing the apostrophe in the polish name – I cannot handle plurals where a possessive should be. It makes my butthole itch.

Polish Pickup February 2025 – Fables & Folklore
February’s theme was “Fables & Folklores” and I am so proud of myself! Not for shopping conservatively – I did not pick any of the several Taylor Swift themed polishes…at least I don’t think I did?
As much as I love Zoya Remove+, I also love making cheap, shitty nail polish remover into the good shit…I’ve passed by the last few scents, but Baroness X Acetone Antidote “Lemon Shortbread Cookies” ($8.50) sounded too good to pass up.
Cuticula “Fairest of Them All” ($13) is inspired by Snow White.
Indie by Patty Lopes “Renaissance” ($13.50) is inspired by the Phoenix. It’s magnetic, too.
Lurid Lacquer “Schneewittchen” ($14.50) is inspired by the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White, the badass bitch version of Snow White.
Zombie Claw “Persephone” ($13.50) is inspired by Persephone and eating pomegranate seeds.
BCB Lacquers “Aesops Fables” ($13.50) is inspired by…wait for it…Aesop’s Fables.
I cannot wait to dig in!
