Hearts & Promises Making Friendship Bracelets

Nothing To Disclose

Today, I have another new-to-me brand from my Pookie's Polish Swap! This is Hearts & Promises Making Friendship Bracelets from the Polish Pick Up March 2024. This is an aqua based polish with aqua glitter & aqua shreds.

Don Deeva Foolish Mortals

Nothing To Disclose

I'm really proud of myself for making a dent in the polish sitting on my desk. Don't mind that I have like 50 more on my desk but still... Today I have Don Deeva Foolish Mortals, another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap. This was from their Haunted Mansion exclusive. This is a deep burgundy/plum with aqua microflakes. I don't think I've ever seen a polish like this before!

Swamp Gloss Adjust The Sails

Nothing To Disclose

This was from another Pookie's Polish Swap and has been hiding on my desk. This is another new-to-me brand called Swamp Gloss and this is Adjust The Sails. I cannot find anything out about this polish but it's not for sale on their website. This is a blue based jelly with purple and blue shimmer.

Cuticula Sea Glass

Nothing To Disclose

I have another new-to-me brand today! This is Cuticula Sea Glass, from their June 2023 Monthly Subscription. This is a slightly blue base full of small holographic flakies, orange/green/gold large shimmer, and pink, green, orange and purple "glass flakies" and then finished with silver holo flakes. Sea glass indeed!

mooncat Cheshire Cat

Nothing To Disclose

Since I swatched one Cheshire Cat, I thought I'd swatch another! This is mooncat Cheshire Cat, and it's a purple flakie and SURPRISE - is magnetic! I didn't know that when I originally wore this polish so I was shocked when I saw that one another blog. Since I got this as part of my Pookie's Polish Swap, I had no idea, and the label didn't specify magnetic on it.

'Ard As Nails Cheshire Cat

Nothing To Disclose

One of my favorite parts of being in the Pookie's Polish Swap is that I've been introduced to so many new-to-me brands of indie polishes. Today I have 'Ard As Nails from the UK and this is Cheshire Cat, which was part of the BeauTeafully Polished Box for June 2023. This is a purple thermal packed with flakies of all colors.

Rogue Lacquer Candy Cane Lane

Nothing To Disclose

It's Christmas Day! I thought it would be great to share Rogue Lacquer Candy Cane Lane. This is a white crelly with red and silver shredded flakies, white microglitter, and white medium glitter. This was a Mystery Christmas Crelly and I can't find out much about it online.

Zoya Seren


As you're doing your last minute dashes for Christmas Eve, I have the Zoya Color of the Month for December - Seren. This a beautiful sapphire blue with holographic glitter and shimmering blue micro glitter. Much like some of the others that Zoya has put out but holy cow, this is amazing.

Lumen Nails Let's Squeeze The Juice


I have another Lá¿¡men Nails Let's Squeeze The Juice, and from what I can tell, this was a "Beetejuice mystery", and very limited edition. I got it in a swap. This is a unique polish - very 70s to me. It's an orange jelly base with gold-green-pink shimmers.

Beaux Reves Lacquer The Little Prince

Nothing To Disclose

I'm pretty determined to spend my winter break getting all my nail polish off my desk including all the polishes from my Pookie's Polish Swaps. Instagram has stopped showing the hashtag of course, but you can always learn more from following PookieBear0625. Today I have a new to me brand - Beaux Reves Lacquer. I can't find much on the brand other than they are based out of Minnesota. Today I have The Little Prince, which was part of a 4 piece collection. This is an indigo base with gold-green-aqua-violet shifting shimmer.

jen & berries Beady One


I have another jen & berries polish today from one of my Pookie's Secret Swap partners. This is Beady One and the label says it was from the PGB Star Wars, PGB April 2023. A short search showed that PGB stands for "The Polished Gamers Box" and it looks like it's now out of business, but it was a themed box that went out at least quarterly.

Monarch Lacquer Fish Food

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have yet another new-to-me brand but not entirely. Before she was Monarch Lacquer, she was half of Fair Maiden, a brand I definitely loved. Today I have Fish Food from her Mix-It-Monday series. These are limited run bottles that are made on Monday, named by her followers, and then sold that week (if I understand correctly). This is an interesting pale green crelly with lots of blue shimmer and blue-to-purple flakies.

ILNP Forest Drive

Nothing To Disclose

I just celebrated 15 years of my blog last week. From what I can tell, I am the second longest-running nails-only blog in the United States. Woo! We had family photos this last week and for some reason, I was feeling green. This is ILNP Forest Drive from the Home For the Holidays Collection. It's a deep green with scattered holographic and has a jelly/crelly opacity.
