Lime Crime Lavendairy

Nothing To Disclose

Here's the other Lime Crime that was hiding in my Helmer. This is Lavendairy which is a lilac purple creme. This polish also dries matte but top coat brings out the shine.

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.

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.

Zoya Cricket

Press Sample
It's that time again! Time for the Zoya Color of the Month and this month is Cricket, a light clover creme. I was a little surprised that it wasn't a glitter bomb, but I do like a Zoya creme. This was super opaque, not streaky, in just one coat.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie

Nothing To Disclose
Today I have Rescue Beauty Lounge Scrangie, which was from the original Blogger Collection by Rescue Beauty Lounge back in the day. It was released in July 2009, and I quickly bought it because the Scrangie blog was one of my gateways into nail polish blogging. The blog ended in 2014, but the blogger is now known as Sam and uses he/him pronouns. Additionally, my polish has sadly faded.

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.

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 Ono

Press Sample

I'm jumping back to the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Ono, and it's a dark berry magenta creme with a tiny hit of berry undertone. I feel like this is more fall than spring.

Zoya Maxine

Press Sample

I'm jumping back to the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Maxine, and it's a rich red creme with a tiny hit of berry undertone. It reminds me of a raspberry almost. This is such a bold creme.

Zoya Abby

This is the last creme from the trio from the January Color of the Month, Yuki. This is Abby, and it's a light lavender creme. I really love this color and it reminds me of the purple I wore for my wedding.

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 Drifter

Nothing To Disclose
I think this is my final Rescue Beauty Lounge that I own and actually, this is one that I ended up selling on a Facebook Group. This is Drifter, a deep wine red creme. This was used on models in the Tuleh Fall 2005 fashion show during Olympus Fashion Week at Bryant Park, on February 6, 2005. 

Zoya Kismet

Press Sample
It's time for Zoya's Color of the Month! This is Kismet, a deep-blushed berry. It came as part of a 4-set with Ono, Maxine, and Venus, or you can just buy it on its own. Don't wait though, it disappears at the end of the month.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Om

Nothing To Disclose
The other day, I was randomly looking for a polish and grabbed some of my Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes, including Om, a pink creme. This is a very basic color for anyone's collection.

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.
