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!

Great Lakes Lacquer You're Welcome

Nothing To Disclose
I'm not the biggest fan of yellows but check out this lovely polish from Great Lakes Lacquer called You're Welcome - a yellow creme with lots of pink shimmer. This is from their Beyond The Reef collection.

Daveen 1967

Nothing To Disclose
It's another new-to-me brand today! This is Daveen 1967, which looks like it came out in September 2023. It's a sheer base with a mix of orange and pink shimmer.

Painted Polish I Loaf You

Nothing To Disclose

I'm still (yes still) going through all my Pookie's Polish Swap polishes and today I have Painted Polish I Loaf You from the 2023 Food For Love collection. Now stay with me... the bottle description is "bright pink holographic microglitters and crushed gold metallic flakes in a hot coral jelly base." 

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!

Cuticula Sea Glass

Nothing To Disclose
I have another new-to-me brand today! This is Cuticula Sea Glass, from their June 2023 Monthly Subscription. This is a slightly blue base full of small holographic flakies, orange/green/gold large shimmer, and pink, green, orange and purple "glass flakies" and then finished with silver holo flakes. Sea glass indeed!

Rogue Lacquer Candy Cane Lane

Nothing To Disclose
It's Christmas Day! I thought it would be great to share Rogue Lacquer Candy Cane Lane. This is a white crelly with red and silver shredded flakies, white microglitter, and white medium glitter. This was a Mystery Christmas Crelly and I can't find out much about it online.

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.
