I'm on the back half of the Zoya Beachy Brights 2 and today is Alora, which was brought back from the mini version. This is supposed to be a fire engine red with pink undertones but to me, it's much more raspberry.

Shimmer Kim

Nothing To Disclose

Nothing To Disclose
Today is a very sentimental polish for me. Lynnderella 12/12/12 Poinsettia Mocktail was part of her limited edition date polishes but this is a special day for me because that's the day I got married. The original polish was made with red and green holographic glitter with a touch of matte yellow-green neon mini-hexagons in a sheer red base. Now, 13 years later, the green has all faded to gold but I still love it. This polish was created to honor National Poinsettia Day.

Nothing To Disclose
I bought this KBShimmer Coal In One back in December 2015 and then it's sat in my Helmers ever since. When I saw someone was looking to buy it in one of my Facebook Groups, I thought... let me find it and see if I HAVE to have it or if I can sell it to someone who will love it. This is a charcoal grey linear holographic.
