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.

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.

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!

Anchor & Heart You Are Not Alone

Nothing To Disclose
Today I have another Anchor & Heart called You Are Not Alone. This was from a Breast Cancer Awareness Hope Box from 2018. This polish was a dusty pink jelly with rose gold metallic flakes and orange shifting flakes. I do think my bottle has faded from others I've found online. It also may be that the metallic flakes have tainted my bottle a bit.

China Glaze Metropolitan

Why did I have this beauty locked away? I found this bottle of China Glaze Metropolitan in a box behind my desk so I thought it was time to wear it. This is a deep burgundy red with brown undertones and bronze gold micro-shimmer from the 2005 Urban Chic collection. I also have Rapture and Crystal Ball from this collection. 

The United Colors Project: Colors for Kamala - America The Beautiful

Press Sample
Tomorrow is a very important day here in the United States - Election Day. Fun fact - I even ran in two local elections (didn't win) and plan on running again in 2028. When The United Colors Project was pitched to me, I was interested in reading their story. 

While I do want to review their polishes separately, as I usually do, I also wanted to do a little nail art (in my own way) for tomorrow using the America The Beautiful collection.
