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.

Zoya Chelsea

Press Sample

Zoya has been sprucing up it's color of the month by adding them into quads that work well together. In my March quad was Zoya Chelsea, a powdered blush creme nude. This is such a pale pink - very delicate.

Shimmer Katie

I didn't realize I had a bunch of Shimmer polishes - but I do! This is Katie, a mix of gray, green, and pink glitters in a clear base.

Glisten & Glow Mall Madness

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap - this is Glisten & Glow Mall Madness, which is limited edition from the Sparkle & Shine June 2023 box. This is a hot pink jelly with flakies and fuchsia shimmer.

Zoya Venus

Press Sample

This is the final color in the trio from the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Venus, and on the website, it says it's a sparkling rose red. However my bottle was very much purple.

Zoya Ono

Press Sample

I'm jumping back to the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Ono, and it's a dark berry magenta creme with a tiny hit of berry undertone. I feel like this is more fall than spring.

Zoya Maxine

Press Sample

I'm jumping back to the February Color of the Month, Kismet. This is Maxine, and it's a rich red creme with a tiny hit of berry undertone. It reminds me of a raspberry almost. This is such a bold creme.

Zoya Madison

Press Sample

I decided to clear off my desk (again) and I needed to post the trio from the January Color of the Month, Yuki. This is Madison, and it's a very pale pink nude crelly. This is the pink I think of when I think about a French manicure.

Tonic Passion Fruit

Nothing To Disclose
One thing that I have been sad about when searching my polishes is the faded ones. Today I have Tonic Passion Fruit, which was originally a neon pink-coral with lilac/pink shimmer. As you can see, my bottle is now a melon orange but there is still some pink shimmer.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Drifter

Nothing To Disclose
I think this is my final Rescue Beauty Lounge that I own and actually, this is one that I ended up selling on a Facebook Group. This is Drifter, a deep wine red creme. This was used on models in the Tuleh Fall 2005 fashion show during Olympus Fashion Week at Bryant Park, on February 6, 2005. 

Zoya Kismet

Press Sample
It's time for Zoya's Color of the Month! This is Kismet, a deep-blushed berry. It came as part of a 4-set with Ono, Maxine, and Venus, or you can just buy it on its own. Don't wait though, it disappears at the end of the month.

Rescue Beauty Lounge Om

Nothing To Disclose
The other day, I was randomly looking for a polish and grabbed some of my Rescue Beauty Lounge polishes, including Om, a pink creme. This is a very basic color for anyone's collection.

OPI DS Reserve

Nothing To Disclose

I have another OPI DS or "Designer Series" polish today. This is DS Reserve, a pink holographic.

Cadillacquer I Don't Know What To Say

Nothing To Disclose
I'm winding down the rest of my Pookie's Polish Swap and this is Cadillacquer I Don't Know What To Say. This thermal was from 2021 so I do think it's faded since the bottle shots I see online are much more red and my bottle is more pink. It's supposed to be a red to "colorless" thermal but it looks more blue to me in the warm state.

Colores de Carol Red Hot Flannel

Nothing To Disclose
Another new-to-me brand! This is Colores de Carol Red Hot Flannel, a red magnetic polish from the Polish Pick Up for October 2023. Now the original description says it's a deep oxblood with green, gold, copper, purple shift, fairy flakes and multidimensional magnetic effect.

Sweet & Sour Lacquer Weeping Woman

Nothing To Disclose
Another new-to-me brand! I'm really enjoying trying all these new brands. This is Sweet & Sour Lacquer Weeping Woman which was from the Polish Pickup November 2023. This polish was inspired by La Llorona and is a smoky iron blue jelly base with red-black multichrome shift and medium particle green shimmer.

Great Lakes Lacquer Chicago Shenanigans

Nothing To Disclose
I am throwing it back to PolishCon Chicago 2017 today with Great Lakes Lacquer Chicago Shenanigans. I am trying to organize my Helmers, and I have polishes EVERYWHERE. My goal is to have brands together in the same drawer. This is a glowing lilac polish with lots of shifting shimmer, most prominently pink and purple.

Ethereal Pink Sugar Heart

Nothing To Disclose
I feel like I have learned about so many indie brands through my Pookie's Polish Swap. Today I have Ethereal Pink Sugar Heart from the In The Name of The Moon, Part 3 collection. This is a sheer hot pink jelly with pink to gold color shifting flakies. These three collections were inspired by Sailor Moon.

Kathleen & Co Lake Superior Sunset

Nothing To Disclose
I can't believe this is my first time wearing a Kathleen & Co polish! Today I have Lake Superior Sunset from the Stardust Shimmer Collaboration from July 2023. This is an aqua holo base with bright orange shifting shimmer. As you will see below, I got a lot of pink in my shimmer. This was another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap.

Fancy Gloss Mystery Polish October 2023

Nothing To Disclose
I haven't used this brand in a hot minute! This is Fancy Gloss Mystery Polish October 2023, another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap. This is a pink (warm) to grey (cool) thermal packed with holographic sparkle and red flakies. I actually didn't know this was a thermal until I put it on! Surprise!
