Jen & Berries You're Living In A Vacuum

Nothing To Disclose
When I first got this jen & berries You're Living In A Vacuum in my secret swap, I wasn't sure what to make of it. I hadn't heard of the brand before but also in low light, this looked like just another greige polish. This polish was originally released in the Polish Pick Up September 2022 "Scary Vibes" but this bottle is from the July 2023 rewind..

Digital Nails Allons-y!

Nothing To Disclose
I own a lot of holographic polishes but it's always sad when I realize the polish I'm pulling is from a brand that's moved on in the world. That's what happened to Digital Nails but I have Allons-y! a grey-holographic polish. I believe Allons-y is from Doctor Who but I hadn't watched it before. 

Polish My Life Magic & Mystery on Broadway

Nothing To Disclose
Back when polish conventions were thriving, I had the opportunity to go to PolishCon NYC in 2017 and one of the VIP polishes in the bag I purchased was from Polish My Life. This is Magic & Mystery On Broadway, and as you can tell above, sadly, this polish has faded since I got in 6 years ago.

Love, Angeline SBP Holo 1

Nothing To Disclose
I was talking with my best friend about how I finally got the motivation to blog again and that if I posted every day, I would have enough content for the next six years. Yes, y'all. I have a lot of nail polish. I normally don't post on the weekends, but I just have SO MUCH POLISH, that I decided why not. Maybe I'll even start posting twice a day. However, because I'm posting "out of order," my nails are super short right now from yesterday's post. I had a traumatic break on my index, realized another nail was split, and both my thumbnails had broken so I just cut everything to nubbins. Today I pulled Love, Angeline SBP (Small Batch Prototype) Holo 1 which is a yellow-based grey with scattered holo.

ILNP Tombstone

Nothing To Disclose
There have been a few brands over the years that I absolutely obsess over and want to own every single color that's released. ILNP is one of those brands and they consistently put out winners. Today I have Tombstone from their Haunted Collection 2021. This is a bone grey with copper metallic flakes and scattered holographic glitter.

cuccio Fur-Well 2020

Press Sample
I was so glad to see 2020 go. It's funny, we all thought it was going to be a roaring good year but eh, I'd beg to differ. Today's cuccio Spring 2021 "Kittens and Canines" color is Fur-Well 2020, a concrete grey creme. This is definitely a darker color - the darkest in the collection but since we do still have 6 more weeks of winter, it works.

cuccio Are You Kitten Me?

Press Sample
When I heard that cuccio's Spring 2021 collection was called Kittens and Canines, I was all here for the puns. This natural tones was a heartfelt tribute to some of best friends of the pandemic... our pets! Today I have Are You Kitten Me? which is a soft pink creme. Think like grey with a drop of red because it's a super super super pale color yet opaque!

cuccio I Imagine

Press Sample
Y'all know I love a good grey. For 10 years now, I've been trying to find my perfect grey creme and so many have come close. Today I have I Imagine from the cuccio Spring 2020 "Imagine" collection. This is listed as a dove gray creme.

ella + mila stonehearted

Did you know that ella + mila is 17-free? Hear me out... free of Acetone, Animal-Derived Ingredients, Bisphenol-A, Camphor, Ethyl Tosylamide, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Gluten, Glycol Ether of Series E (Gycol ethers derived from ethylene oxide), Nonylphenol Ethoxylate, Parabens, Phthalates (including DBP), Styrene, Sulfate, Toluene, Triphenyl Phosphate (TPHP/TPP), and Xylene. For some people, not having some of these ingredients make a huge difference in their ability to wear polish so I'm happy to share the information!

Today I have ella + mila stonehearted from the Desire collection. This is a neutral grey creme.

cuccio I Reflect

Press Sample
I can't believe it's fall already. Today I have cuccio I Reflect from the Spring 2020 Imagine collection but I loved this polish so much I wore it for a solid week. This is listed as a chambray creme which is a gray-blue that is a lot like denim. I found this leaned more grey than blue for me.

Morgan Taylor Let There Be Moonlight

Press Sample
I'm still wishing for my perfect grey creme y'all. I've been through so many greys but I'm still looking for my PERFECT one so let's see how Morgan Taylor Let There Be Moonlight from the winter 2019 Champagne & Moonbeams collection works. This was a really large collection too - with 12 polishes in a variety of colors and finishes.

ILNP Chateau

Nothing To Disclose
Why hello there friends. I started a new job on Friday and one of the things I really want to do is wear all the nail polish so today I decided to grab ILNP Chateau from the new Monarch collection which is sitting on my desk. This is a purple leaning grey with copper micro-flakes and holographic shimmer.

Julep Zara

Nothing To Disclose
Julep just recently stopped their monthly boxes, something I had been a subscriber since the very beginning. Granted, I've skipped a lot of boxes but one of the boxes that I got included Zara, a sheer grey holo that's very subtle.

Girly Bits Nameste Up All Night

Nothing To Disclose
The other half of Pam's gift to Jen from the "Oh Baby, Baby!" trio is Namaste Up All Night, a grey to soft blue thermal. After spending many a night up with my last newborn (who is almost 4!), this polish spoke to me in ways.

Girly Bits Womb Service

Nothing To Disclose
Today I have part two of the trio "Oh Baby, Baby!" from Girly Bits. Today's thermal Womb Service was created for Pam's other daughter Jen who is due this month. Jen is Team Green (not finding out the sex before the birth) so this polish is one option for her to wear on the big day.

I'm not sure why I've been reaching for greys lately, but today is another by China Glaze. This is from the Glam Finale collection and it's called Slay Bells Ring. It's a gunmetal grey with some shimmer properties.
