cuccio Give It A Twirl

Press Sample

The grand finale in the cuccio Soire collection from Holiday 2019 is Give It A Twirl, a deep red shimmer. I wasn't sure if this would be metallic looking or satin looking but I was happy to have another red for the holidays.

Can we rewind to New Years Ever 2020? Today I have cuccio 3, 2, 1 Kiss from the Soiree collection - a raspberry red with golden shimmer.


Pink Mask Brut Rose

Press Sample

One of my favorite parts of Pink Mask is that they have the swatch of the color on the top of each bottle. This is especially helpful when I've put my bottles in my Helmer, away from light and exposure. Today I have Pink Mask Brut Rose, a shimmery rose gold gel.

Back in July, I got a lovely email from Pink Mask, an Argentinian company that launched in the USA this July with their gel polishes. While they have been around since 2015, this was my first experience seeing their product.


cuccio Just A Prosecco

I know I was just wearing a silver but I have another silver today! Today is cuccio Just A Prosecco, a silver shimmer, but if you look close this actually a silver shimmer with a touch of gold metallic. This polish is from their Soiree Collection - Winter 2019.

cuccio Dance, Dance, Dance

Hello dear friends! Sorry I disappeared again. My husband and I both contracted COVID-19 (he got it while at work from a coworker) and while we weren't hospitalized, we were very sick for a couple of weeks. We are now on the mend and hoping to get back to work very soon. One of the things I wanted to do to celebrate being able to get out of bed was paint my nails! I just recently nubbinized them because they got super long and I didn't have the energy to shape them so I just chopped them off. I really have preferred no nails this past year especially when typing. This is cuccio Dance, Dance, Dance from the Soiree Collection which was their winter 2019. I have been trying to get all my cuccio's swatched so I can get them into my Helmer and out of my living room.

cuccio Nurture Nature

I finally decided to organize my desk and put all my polishes I'm reviewing in order and realized I haven't finished the cuccio Fall 2019 Bella Natura collection. Today I have Nurture Nature which is a shimmering pewter. The bottle was super pretty as you can see above.

cuccio Rolling Stone

Press Sample


I swear, my cats have been a blessing and a curse. One of the reasons why I'm going through the fall 2019 Bella Natura collection from cuccio is because SOME cat of mine (honestly don't know which one) decided to leave me a food present in the box next to my desk and some of it got on the outside of my cuccio box. So that box went in the trash as I pulled the collection out safely. Thanks cats. Today is Rolling Stone which is a purple based black with silver shimmer particles. 

cuccio Cheers To New Years

Press Sample

I have been going through my box of goodies and today I decided to grab cuccio Cheers To New Years from their Holiday 2019 Soiree Collection. This is a "sugared plum shimmer" with the shimmer being gorgeous gold flakes.

Morgan Taylor Some Girls Prefer Pearls

Press Sample

I'm getting to the second half of the Morgan Taylor Marilyn Monroe fall 2019 collection and today was one I was personally dreading. This is Some Girls Prefer Pearls and is listed as a "white shimmer."

Morgan Taylor A Girl And Her Curls

Press Sample

I'm in the middle of some training for my son's Boy Scout troop and figured I might as well pull out a pretty purple. This is Morgan Taylor A Girl And Her Curls, an eggplant purple shimmer. This is also from the fall 2019 Marilyn Monroe collection. The shimmer is really pretty in the bottle but does it show up on the nail?


Morgan Taylor That's So Monroe

Press Sample

I have a box of nail polish next to my desk and lately, it's been calling to me. I haven't had a lot of time or energy for my blog like I used to but it's still a hobby that I enjoy. Today I pulled out Morgan Taylor That's So Monroe, a cool brown shimmer. This is not normally a color I gravitate to but I'm up for a challenge. This polish was from the second wave of Marilyn Monroe fall polishes in 2019.

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.


Patricia Serenity

Press Sample

Now that I have Helmers to fill, I'm very excited to get all my polishes in one spot and not in three different rooms. Today I grabbed Patricia Serenity, a light lavender shimmer.

Sally Hansen Midnight Drive

Press Sample

When my nails are long, I don't care for dark colors. However, I just went for a huge nail chop after an incident with a razor so I figured now is the time to get my vampy colors out of the way. Today I have Sally Hansen Midnight Drive, a dark inky blue polish with a slight shimmer.

Bee's Knees Lacquer Squatchin Around

Nothing To Disclose

I missed the Fall 2018 PolishCon that was held in Minnesota, but I was really happy that I was able to purchase a VIP bag after the fact. In it was this GALAXY from Bee's Knees Lacquer called Squatchin Around. This polish amazing. It's got purple, blue and green all melded together along with some shimmer and rainbow reflecting holographic shards that just make it magical.


Morgan Taylor Sir Teal To You

Press Sample

Continuing with the Morgan Taylor Summer 2019 Rocketman collection, today I have Sir Teal To You, which is a teal shimmer. It leans a little more green than blue but is still a really rocking shade.


Sally Hansen Pumped Up Pink

Press Sample

I feel like I'm getting closer in my purge especially actually putting the polish on my hands and seeing what I really like and what I just think looks pretty in the bottle. Today's polish is Sally Hansen Pumped Up Pink

Sally Hansen Peach Buzz

Press Sample



I still have a couple of dozen polishes from Sally Hansen here and I'm in love with the Insta-Dri formula so today I grabbed Peach Buzz from my box. This is a peachy polish with golden shimmer. 

Lou It Yourself You Get A Polish!!

Nothing To Disclose

I feel like I'm starting to see a small light at the end of the tunnel of my polish. It's a good feeling because I like just having polish that I want around. Today I picked up Lou It Yourself You Get A Polish!! from the PolishCon 2016 VIP bag. Now, the brand has since rebranded to Bluebird Lacquer so this polish is definitely a relic. This is a medium blue polish with scattered holo and blue shimmer.
