Today I have Don Deeva Unlabeled Mystery 2020, another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap. I think this may have been a one-off with the handmade label on the side and this is their older style bottle label. This is a deep plum, almost brown polish with lots of holographic glitter.

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!

mooncat Cheshire Cat

Nothing To Disclose
Since I swatched one Cheshire Cat, I thought I'd swatch another! This is mooncat Cheshire Cat, and it's a purple flakie and SURPRISE - is magnetic! I didn't know that when I originally wore this polish so I was shocked when I saw that one another blog. Since I got this as part of my Pookie's Polish Swap, I had no idea, and the label didn't specify magnetic on it.

'Ard As Nails Cheshire Cat

Nothing To Disclose
One of my favorite parts of being in the Pookie's Polish Swap is that I've been introduced to so many new-to-me brands of indie polishes. Today I have 'Ard As Nails from the UK and this is Cheshire Cat, which was part of the BeauTeafully Polished Box for June 2023. This is a purple thermal packed with flakies of all colors.

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.

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.

This is probably one of my favorite polishes that I've gotten in a long time. This is illyrian A Dangerous Type, a Hella Handmade Creations Exclusive from January 2019.

I am in the middle of my 5th Pookie's Polish Swap and this time I got an amazing package from ForeverLacquered that included this beautiful bottle from Lemming Lacquer named Just Fear Me, Love Me, Do As I Say. The bottle label says it was from Polish Pickup February 2023 which was their Movie Quotes theme. Turns out the bottle name is a line from Labyrinth, which I've never seen. I know - I missed out a lot on movies in my younger years.
