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.

Nothing To Disclose
I decided to grab another polish from my desk from my Pookie's Polish Swaps and today I have Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Prototype 185. This is a blurple base polish with multicolored glitter and blue shimmer. I can't find anything about it online so this might be one of a kind.

The United Colors Project: Colors for Kamala - America The Beautiful

Press Sample
Tomorrow is a very important day here in the United States - Election Day. Fun fact - I even ran in two local elections (didn't win) and plan on running again in 2028. When The United Colors Project was pitched to me, I was interested in reading their story. 

While I do want to review their polishes separately, as I usually do, I also wanted to do a little nail art (in my own way) for tomorrow using the America The Beautiful collection.

Sally Hansen On the Download

Nothing To Disclose
Y'all know that I love the OG Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, but it's been discontinued and that breaks my heart. However, I kept seeing Sally Hansen On the Download in stores with a "HOT" sticker on it so I finally broke down and bought it.

Zoya Tucker

I cannot believe how fast this year has passed me by. Today I have the Zoya Color of the Month from August - Tucker. It's a medium cool blue creme that does dry matte.

Nothing To Disclose
I am in the middle of my 5th Pookie's Polish Swap and this time I got an amazing package from ForeverLacquered that included this beautiful bottle from Lemming Lacquer named Just Fear Me, Love Me, Do As I Say. The bottle label says it was from Polish Pickup February 2023 which was their Movie Quotes theme. Turns out the bottle name is a line from Labyrinth, which I've never seen. I know - I missed out a lot on movies in my younger years.

Girly Bits Prototype 5179

Nothing To Disclose
I just participated in my 5th Pookie's Polish Swap and had ForeverLacquered as my partner. She sent me an AMAZING box full of 35 polishes including this Girly Bits Prototype 5179. Typically, prototypes are just that - one or two bottles of a color while a maker is fine tuning a polish.

I'm so glad to be getting through this box of polishes that have been at my desk. The more I've been going through them, the more I'm finding great memories. Today I have Octopus Party Nail Lacquer The Pleasure Principal, which is a blue/purple/teal multichrome.

Glisten & Glow Kim

Nothing To Disclose
A little change of pace today with the follow up from Glisten & Glow Larry, which was the polish made by Jill in honor of my Dad. Today I have Kim, which was originally a lilac holographic polish but today I realized it's faded to a light denim blue holographic. I actually love this faded look.

Cadillacquer Seek The Fire

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have one more from my Pookie's Polish Swap polish from my partner wild_moon_lacquer, and this was another new-to-me brand. This is Cadillacquer Seek The Fire. This polish came out in 2014 and back then, it was definitely a more dark blue with red glitter. I do believe my bottle has faded which I really like this color. 

Zoya Pluto

Press Sample

I'm back with Zoya and their 2023 Beachy Brights, with Pluto, a light neon blue creme. There was a time when I was all about blues and I couldn't get enough of them so I do feel like I've seen this color before.

jen & berries You're Living In A Vacuum

Nothing To Disclose
When I first got this jen & berries You're Living In A Vacuum in my secret swap, I wasn't sure what to make of it. I hadn't heard of the brand before but also in low light, this looked like just another greige polish. This polish was originally released in the Polish Pick Up September 2022 "Scary Vibes" but this bottle is from the July 2023 rewind.

Pahlish Wind Fish

Nothing To Disclose
Today, I have another polish from one of my recent secret swaps, and this brand is new to me. This is Pahlish Wind Fish, a test batch polish that is aqua blue with a red-orange shift and holo. I don't own anything like this.
