I have another oldie China Glaze today! This is On The Rocks, a sheer seafoam aqua/green nail with aqua micro-shimmer. This was from the 2006 Tequila Toes collection. Talk about a throwback.

Noodles Nail Polish Blue Lagoon

Nothing To Disclose
I love that I keep learning about new indie brands through my Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram. For some reason, hashtags haven't worked for me, but if you're interested, PookieBear0625 is the group owner. Today I have Noodles Nail Polish Blue Lagoon, a semi-sheer, cyan blue crelly with blue/green/gold shifting flakes, light blue matte glitter, and lime/gold iridescent glitter. This was from the August 2023 For The Love of Polish Box called "Summer Drinks."

Today, I'm featuring another new brand, Jessie Monroe. This one, Ex For a Reason, has a blue-tinted base with tons of blue glitter. I actually have a pair of sneakers that are this exact shade.

Zoya Bunny

Yesterday I got an email that my Zoya Color of the Month was here! I came home to Zoya Bunny, a modern pastel blue creme. This is a perfect spring color but also would be great for wedding season! 

China Glaze Fall From Grace

Nothing To Disclose
If you're an OG to the blog, you know that I was originally addicted to China Glaze and was fortunate enough to receive press samples from them for years. Unfortunately, I haven't seen much of them in the last few years and they haven't put out a collection since Spring 2014. Today I have China Glaze Fall From Grace from the Halloween 2023 "Serpentine" collection. This is a navy jelly with tons of blue and purple sparkles.

OPI Tealing Festive

Nothing To Disclose
Well, I had a devastating nail break this week, so I figured I'd finish all my swap bottles from Pookie's Polish Swap and see how long they grow before my manicure next week. This is OPI Tealing Festive - a medium-dark blue-green metallic.

Different dimension Pier Pressure

Nothing To Disclose
I keep randomly pulling polishes from my Helmer, and today is a throwback to 2016 with Different dimension Pier Pressure. This was from the Pretty Nauti collection and was a silver shimmer base with blue and green glitters and a holographic glitter scattered throughout. It was supposed to look like sea glass, one of my new obsessions.

Zoya Feifei

Press Sample

As I was making room in my Helmer, I grabbed Zoya Feifei, a metallic blue/grey with green and gold shimmer. I don't even recall how old this is, but it's an older polish for sure.

Shimmer Kim

Nothing To Disclose
I pulled another Shimmer polish today - this is Kim, and it's a blue, purple, and silver glitter bomb. My base is tinted blue now but I'm pretty sure it was a clear base originally. I bought this polish because my Mom's name was Kim.

Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse

Nothing To Disclose
Recently I was cleaning my Helmers and I forgot that I really liked Lime Crime Once In A Blue Mousse when it first came out. This is a pale blue creme that dries a bit matte but as always, I like to add top coat.

Good Knight Polish What's Kraken?

Nothing To Disclose
Another day, another new-to-me brand! This is Good Knight Polish What's Kraken? and it's a green creme with blue shimmer. The formula was super easy to apply.

KBShimmer Navy or Not, Here I Come

Press Sample
Here is another oldie but goodie from KBShimmer. This is Navy Or Not, Here I Come, from the Road to PolishCon Fall 2017. This is a vibrant blue linear holographic polish with color-shifting flakes.

KBShimmer Claws and Effect

Press Sample
I also found this polish in my stash, but I forgot I got it in 2015 from the KBShimmer Winter/Holiday collection. Claws and Effect is a dark purple-leaning navy holo polish with blue/pink shifting glass flakes. I originally thought it was a straight holographic purple polish!

China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond

Press Sample

Today I have a throwback from 2014. This is China Glaze Capacity To See Beyond from the Limited Edition "The Giver" collection. This 12 piece collection was released in tandem with the book-turned-movie "The Giver" featuring Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep. I didn't read the book or watch the movie but after reading a little about it, I think I'd at least catch it on Netflix one day. This is a sky blue creme.

ella + mila one way ticket

Press Sample

Today I have ella + mila one way ticket from the Elite collection, which is listed as a summertime teal matte. I think maybe my bottle has faded, which happens sometimes with neon teals.

Zoya Emerson

Press Sample

I have another Zoya creme from the trio from the January Color of the Month, Yuki. This is Emerson, and it's a pale blue creme. To me, this is the perfect wedding color.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Liberty

Nothing To Disclose
I remember when the Rescue Beauty Lounge Bloggers 2.0 collection came out and I fell in love with Liberty, a mint-green with blue shimmer. It was created with Pammy from Polish Police. Unfortunately, her website is long gone but she does still have an Instagram for her writing. This was a time in my life where I really all about the mint greens.

Girly Bits V.I.Polish IEC 2017

Nothing To Disclose
In 2017, I went to IEC—Indie Expo Canada—in Toronto, Canada. It was my first time in Canada and my first time traveling internationally by myself. I was so excited to go and really enjoyed my time. Today I'm sharing Girly Bits V.I.Polish IEC 2017, which was originally a medium denim blue with blue and silver flakes, holo and blue shimmer. Mine has faded quite a bit to a dark blue and the shimmer switches from blue to purple in different lights.
