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'm making a dent through the polishes on my desk from my last 3 Pookie's Polish Swap and today I have Polished for Days It's all so Magical. This was from "The Once Upon A Dream" collection from 2022. It's an aqua/teal crelly with gold iridescent and black matte flakies. This polish was inspired by Jasmine from Aladdin.

Anchor & Heart Kissing at Sunset

Nothing To Disclose
I got this next polish, Anchor & Heart Kissing at Sunset, from my third Pookie's Polish Swap with wild_moon_lacquer. This has been a great way to learn about new indie polishes, share polishes with new homes, and have some fun polish love again. Think sisterhood of the traveling polish. This initially was a 2016 limited edition polish that was originally a peachy orange holo with gold flecks. Unfortunately, my bottle has definitely faded.

This is from the 2017 Summer Soirée Collection - also known as their One Year Anniversary collection. This color is super unique and you can see a bit in the bottle - there is rose, gold, and green shimmer.

I'm getting through the rest of my secret swap stashes and today I have Bee's Knees Lacquer (BKL) Turn Back, from the Radio Rental collection. This was part of their 5 year anniversary release. This is a red-gold-green multichrome with emerald green reflective glitter. The bottle is magical.

It's quite fitting that the Zoya's limited edition color of the month for March was a vibrant leafy green. This is Lucky, a green base with lots of gold and blue glitter, perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

Bee's Knees Lacquer You Conjured Me Out of Hope

Nothing To Disclose
As I mentioned before, I was part of two Secret Santa type swaps this holiday season, and in my Instragram swap from Pookie's Polish Swap, I got this amazing Bee's Knees Lacquer called You Conjured Me Out of Hope. This was from a 2022 mystery bag polish that had something called "Ghost Flakes" as well as light reflective glitter. From the maker: "Ghost flakes are the largest particle size of UP (unicorn pee!). They aren't quite as sparkly because they're denser and more flake-like, but they have the same hard color shift. Lastly, these polishes have half the amount of light reflective glitter we have been using so it adds some depth without taking away from the ghost flakes." This is an indigo polish with gold to green ghost flakes and an emerald light reflective glitter.

Sally Hansen Wild Card

I have one last Sally Hansen Mega Strength today and it's a lovely gold glitter with small rainbow reflective glitter called Wild Card. Because I wasn't sure how opaque it was, I ended up putting it over yesterday's polish.

Zoya Vienna

Press Sample

I misunderstood Zoya's limited edition color of the month collection. For some reason, I thought that Vienna was the January color but it's actually the December color. This is a brilliant gold metallic with iridescent hex shimmer, irregular flakies, gold and iridescent micro shimmer, and fine white pearl.

Sally Hansen Gold Rush

I'm halfway through the Insta-Dri Matte polishes that I was sent and today is Gold Rush, a gold metallic. This is a "1-stroke, 1 coat" polish that leaves you with a matte metallic finish in 60 seconds.

Back in early 2017, I bought KBShimmer Supplies Party, from the Office Space collection. This was listed as a warm creme with metallic flakes and holo sparkle - much like their birthstone collection that I loved.

China Glaze I Believe In Snuffy
