August 2022 Release Radar
Welcome to Release Radar – AUGUST 2022!
HI REMEMBER ME>?!?!?! Your favorite blog post each month that helps keep your polish collection fruitful, but then unexpectedly GHOSTED you? Yeah, sorry about that. Burnout is real and mental health is important so I took a little break. And by little, I mean a few months. And by a few months…
I’m back for ALL the releases for the foreseeable future. PARTY!
Is it your first time here? I’m SO glad you’ve found us! Everything Coming Soon is a blog series featuring all the upcoming (polish/indie) releases in one place. Or, at least, all the things on my radar. If you know of any releases I’m missing please comment below or Share A Release and I’ll add them! Releases are listed by date.
Note: It’s important to note that this post won’t really be finalized until the end of the month. As new events are created and discovered they will be added. It’s an ever-evolving updated every other Sunday-ish feed. Want to stay up to date? Subscribe to the blog newsletter!
I’m so happy to have you here and using this post as a reference guide to help shop each month. I do my best to provide the most accurate information, but it’s important to keep in mind that dates and prices are always subject to change after I enter them into the post. You can always find more information on releases from brand shops and Facebook Groups. Thanks for stopping by!
