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.

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..

Sweet Heart Polish Summer Nights in Seoul

Nothing To Disclose
Last month, I participated in two "Secret Santa" type swaps. The first one was called "Destashing Through The Snow" from the Facebook Group "PUT THE POLISH DOWN." This is a fun group where polishoholics can talk about new releases, share swatches, talk about how long we've gone since purchases and more. The only rule was to send at least one polish to your partner. Sarah was my partner and she really send me some amazing new brands that I hadn't tried before.micro-shimmer

Today I'm using Sweet Heart Polish Summer Nights in Seoul, which was from the March 2023 PPU (Polish Pickup). This is a light purple base with magenta flakies and blue micro-shimmer.

Morgan Taylor West Coast Cool

So why am I in such a blue mood? Honestly, I've always loved blue just as much as I love purple but they really didn't have blue nail polish when I was a kid.
