Lynnderella 12/12/12 Poinsettia Mocktail

Nothing To Disclose
Today is a very sentimental polish for me. Lynnderella 12/12/12 Poinsettia Mocktail was part of her limited edition date polishes but this is a special day for me because that's the day I got married. The original polish was made with red and green holographic glitter with a touch of matte yellow-green neon mini-hexagons in a sheer red base. Now, 13 years later, the green has all faded to gold but I still love it. This polish was created to honor National Poinsettia Day.

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.
