bohemian polish paved with diamonds

Nothing To Disclose

Okay, I know I JUST posted a charcoal black holographic polish but this is different! I got this polish ages ago from bohemian polish called paved with diamonds, and it's a smooth, linear holo without any of the holographic glitter.

Black Dahlia Lacquer Black Magic

Nothing To Disclose

I've been participating in the Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram, and in May, I was partnered with wild_moon_lacquer, and she sent me some amazing polishes, including Black Dahlia Lacquer Black Magic, a charcoal black polish with holographic glitter. 

Digital Nails Red Wedding

Nothing To Disclose

I really miss how Digital Nails tapped into the fandoms of the day or memes of the minute. Today I have Digital Nails Red Wedding, a nod to Game of Thrones massacre from the third book "A Sword of Swords." This polish is packed with multiple sizes of red glitter in a tinted red base.

ILNP Mint Chip


Happy Saint Patrick's Day! Remember the year that I did a bunch of green polishes leading up to the holiday? I should have done that again but at least I'm wearing green today! This is ILNP Mint Chip from their newest Something Sweet collection. It's a bright mint green polish with small black metallic flakes.

ASP Black Beauty


Today is the finale of my ASP polishes and I thought a black creme would be the best way to finish everything off. But was it? Check out how ASP Black Beauty performed for me.

Sally Hansen Hypnautical

Nothing To Disclose

Back in 2013, Sally Hansen announced their Triple Shine line, and one polish that caught my eye was Hypnautical, a blue and green shred glitter in a slightly green tinted base. At only $4.99, I hunted this down until I was able to find it at my local drugstore.

models own Mixed Up

Nothing To Disclose

Back when I started this blog, models own was a polish brand in Europe that all the sparkles and happiness that I wanted. I was so excited when I was finally able to purchase a few including today's polish Mixed Up, a rainbow reflective microglitter with black microglitter in a clear base.

China Glaze You've Got Blackmail


I'm on the back half of the China Glaze Halloween 2019 "Catch a Colour" collection and today I have You've Got Blackmail which is a black based textured polish.

The other glitter topper in the China Glaze "To Catch A Colour" Halloween 2019 collection is called Arrest In Peace. This is a light black (not grey) watery base with black shards, black small and medium hexagonal glitter and just a pinch of copper orange microglitter.

China Glaze Get Off My Cold Case


It turns out I had the entire "To Catch A Colour" Halloween 2019 collection from China Glaze here so I figured let's go ahead and finish off this 6 piece set the next few days. Today I have Get Off My Cold Case, which is orange shreds and microglitter along with black small and medium hexagonal glitter all in a clear base.  However, my base is definitely tinted orange, so it looks like this one is a bleeder.

Morgan Taylor Water Field

Nothing To Disclose

I have a lot of nail polish, that's for sure, but when I see rainbow reflective glitter? I gotta have it. I ended up buying Morgan Taylor Water Field during the Amazon Prime Day and then it's just sat on my desk. I think this was part of the original launch of Morgan Taylor's core collection but I can't find much information about it online. This is a clear polish with silver microglitter and small round rainbow reflective glitter.

I swear, my cats have been a blessing and a curse. One of the reasons why I'm going through the fall 2019 Bella Natura collection from cuccio is because SOME cat of mine (honestly don't know which one) decided to leave me a food present in the box next to my desk and some of it got on the outside of my cuccio box. So that box went in the trash as I pulled the collection out safely. Thanks cats. Today is Rolling Stone which is a purple based black with silver shimmer particles. 

Morgan Taylor A Kiss In The Dark

Saving the best for last? Sure. The finale from the Morgan Taylor 2019 winter Champagne and Moonbeams collection is this black purple creme called A Kiss In The Dark. I stared this polish down hard.

China Glaze Pret-A-Potion

Press Sample

Woo it's time! While my oldest is a tad old for Trick or Treating and my youngest is too young, it still means I'm going to eat all the Reeses Peanut Butter Cups I can find. Let's share the final shade of the Paint It Black collection with Pret-A-Potion. This is a black microglitter in a clear base, best worn as a topper.

China Glaze Night And Slay

Happy Halloween! Today I decided to use the Paint It Black China Glaze shade called Night and Slay. This is a glitter bomb filled with holographic and rainbow reflective glitter in a clear base. Who doesn't love an explosion of glitter?

China Glaze Ash & Burn

Press Sample

Next up in the Paint It Black Halloween collection of China Glaze is Ash & Burn, this crazy mix of black and orange glitters in a black base. This reminds me a lot of Smoke & Ashes from the Capitol Colours/Hunger Games collection that came out back in 2012. While the bottle didn't wow me, I was really impressed with the outcome.

China Glaze Maliboo-Boo

After the successful reboot of OMG!, I was really excited to see China Glaze pull out a holographic black for the Paint It Black collection. Maliboo-Boo doesn't look like a huge party in the bottle but just wait until this baby hits the light.

China Glaze Shadies & Gentlemen

Press Sample

This summer when I got to see the preview of China Glaze's Halloween Collection called "Paint It Black", I was most stoked for this beautiful matte black called Shadies and Gentlemen. It looked just like an untouched chalkboard and I was obsessed.

ILNP Fully Loaded

Nothing To Disclose

Call me a glutton for punishment but I decided I need another flakie to wear this week. When ILNP came out with flakies, I wasn't thrilled only because I hate layering polish. And yet here I am today with ILNP Fully Loaded, a green to violet iridescent flakie.


Glam Polish Secrets In The Sand

Nothing To Disclose

It's been about six weeks since I last put on nail polish. After I found my nail polish spreadsheet had been deleted, I've been in a funk and not wanted to even get to my polish. However, I'm trying to find my passion and love again especially with the holidays and all the parties. Speaking of, I went to my first formal event in nearly 15 years and needed something to punch up my dress.
