ORLY Gilded Dune

Nothing To Disclose

So I've been out of the mainstream game for a hot minute but when I got this bottle of ORLY Gilded Dune from the Terra Nova collection in my Pookie's Polish Swap... whew, what's happening out there? This mustard yellow has a light green shimmer at extreme angles. Quite unique.

Don Deeva Foolish Mortals

Nothing To Disclose

I'm really proud of myself for making a dent in the polish sitting on my desk. Don't mind that I have like 50 more on my desk but still... Today I have Don Deeva Foolish Mortals, another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap. This was from their Haunted Mansion exclusive. This is a deep burgundy/plum with aqua microflakes. I don't think I've ever seen a polish like this before!

Lumen Nails Let's Squeeze The Juice


I have another Lῡmen Nails Let's Squeeze The Juice, and from what I can tell, this was a "Beetejuice mystery", and very limited edition. I got it in a swap. This is a unique polish - very 70s to me. It's an orange jelly base with gold-green-pink shimmers.

Monarch Lacquer Fish Food

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have yet another new-to-me brand but not entirely. Before she was Monarch Lacquer, she was half of Fair Maiden, a brand I definitely loved. Today I have Fish Food from her Mix-It-Monday series. These are limited run bottles that are made on Monday, named by her followers, and then sold that week (if I understand correctly). This is an interesting pale green crelly with lots of blue shimmer and blue-to-purple flakies.

ILNP Forest Drive

Nothing To Disclose

I just celebrated 15 years of my blog last week. From what I can tell, I am the second longest-running nails-only blog in the United States. Woo! We had family photos this last week and for some reason, I was feeling green. This is ILNP Forest Drive from the Home For the Holidays Collection. It's a deep green with scattered holographic and has a jelly/crelly opacity.

Polished for Days It's all so Magical

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.

BLUSH Lacquer Gilded Fawn

Nothing To Disclose

From my 4th Pookie's Polish Swap with rachel.lazzeri.nails, today I have BLUSH Lacquer Gilded Fawn. 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.

Zoya Avani

Press Sample

I don't have a lot of neon greens in my possession but Zoya brought back Avani from the Summer 2023 Beachy Brights collection and made it full size. You may recall that I had application issues with the petite bottle so how does a full size compare?

KBShimmer Teal Another Tail


Today I have a KBShimmer from Fall 2013 called Teal Another Tail. This is a beautiful dusty teal green with pink shimmer. When Christy made this, she said it reminded her of a mermaid tail.

cuccio Seriously Celsius


Today I have the final polish from the cuccio 2019 Heatwave collection with Seriously Celsius, which is a yellow-green creme.

Zoya Avani Petite


Here's another "Petite" today from the Summer 2023 Beachy Brights. This is Avani, which was also brought back in the Summer 2024 Beachy Brights 2. This is a neon lime green

cuccio Hair Toss


May absolutely flew past me. We had a lot of illness in the household so I'm ready to kick May Flowers and bring on summer. Today I have the finale from the cuccio 2019 Coquette Collection. Today I have Hair Toss, a soft eucalyptus creme. This color sat on my desk for a long time and I don't know why.

cuccio Why, Hello!


Only two more from the cuccio 2019 Coquette Collection! This is Why, Hello! and is listed as an airy, yet grounded sage crème. 

Bee's Knees Laquer Area 51


I have one more BKL from my last secret swap and today it's Bee's Knees Lacquer (BKL) Area 51. This is a green matte with green shimmer. This is seriously a green grass polish, perfect for St. Patrick's Day.

Bee's Knees Lacquer Turn Back

Nothing To Disclose

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.

Zoya Lucky


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.

Vapid. Spellcaster


As I was putting up some polishes in my Helmer today, I realized that I just have so many goodies to go through - it's a little surreal sometimes. Today I have Vapid. Spellcaster from Hella Holo Customs Facebook Group in 2016. This is a really pretty burgundy linear holo base with green shimmer and shifting flakes. I pulled out my original swatch stick and am happy to see that this polish has held up over time.

Different dimension Enchant-mint


When I originally grabbed Different dimension Enchant-mint, a teal-mint holographic polish with a light blue & purple shimmer, I thought "Nah, not for me." But then I put it on and gosh, I forgot how much I love this color! This was from the Holo Hookup Enchanted Forest August 2017 box.

China Glaze Free To Be Sesame


Okay China Glaze, you're finally getting my attention with the "You Do Hue" 2019 collection with Sesame Street. If you've been reading awhile, you know that this collection so far hasn't been my favorite but today I have Free To Be Sesame, which is a green base jelly with rainbow reflective and green glitters.
