ILNP Melted


It's time for the finale of the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Melted, a lilac purple creme. At first, I was unsure what this color was inspired by, but it was actually related to berry gelato.

KBShimmer Sarong Place, Sarong Time


I have one more KBShimmer Summer Collection 2015 neon today. This is Sarong Place, Sarong Time, a vibrant purple creme. Unfortunately, my polish has definitely faded.

ILNP Oasis


I'm almost through the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Oasis, a soft turquoise creme. To me, this is more sky blue than turquoise.

KBShimmer In Yacht Water


I'm back with another KBShimmer Summer Collection 2015 and I'm almost through all the ones I have. Today I have In Yacht Water, a Caribbean blue with aqua leanings.

ILNP Minted


I'm in the back half of the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Minted, a mint green creme. These last three polishes really pair well with each other.

KBShimmer For Sail By Owner


After my monthly visit to sculpted_by_gg, I'm back with another KBShimmer Summer Collection 2015! Today I have For Sail By Owner, a neon lime green.

ILNP Honeybee


I was super excited for this next polish from the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection. This is Honeybee, a creamy, buttery yellow. This reminds me of honeycomb and daisies.

KBShimmer Leggo My Mango

Nothing To Disclose

I'm continuing with the KBShimmer polishes from the Summer Collections 2015. This is Leggo My Mango and it's listed as a creamsicle orange cream. I do think mine have faded a little bit in the past decade despite being in a dark Helmer all these years.

ILNP Cream Pop

Nothing To Disclose

I have another from the ILNP Heat Wave Summer 2025 collection, and this is definitely a melon orange creme. This is Cream Pop, a great creamy orange. This entire collection was inspired by summer - sun-drenched sand, blooming cacti, and the surreal warmth of desert evenings.

KBShimmer Bahama Drama


I'm back with another KBShimmer Summer Collection 2015! Today I have Bahama Drama, a near neon deep peach creme. Again, these were sun-bleached neons.

ILNP Daytrip

Nothing To Disclose

I'm disrupting my posting schedule because I thought it would be fun to swatch the ILNP Heat Waves collection that came out in Summer 2025. Today I have ILNP Daytrip, a "hot hibiscus pink". 

KBShimmer Lei It Again

Nothing To Disclose

I'm going to through my KBShimmer Helmer drawer and have pulled the KBShimmer Summer Collection 2015. This is a neon pink creme called Lei It Again. These were listed as sun-bleached neons.

I forgot I had this polish on my desk! This is from my 11th Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram when I was partnered with sleepyholonails. This is a grass green polish with green and gold glitter and this polish glows in the dark!

Cirque Nirvana

Nothing To Disclose

I only have three polishes left from my Pookie's Polish Swap with sleepyholonails and this is Cirque Colors Nirvana, a school bus yellow creme. While this polish has been discontinued by Cirque, it's always good for me to swatch things so that when you're looking, I'm in your Google results. Or at least, that's the hope.

Nvr Enuff Con Artist

Nothing To Disclose

I randomly grabbed a bottle of Nvr Enuff from my Helmer today. This is Con Artist, a dusty mauve nail polish with iridescent glass flecks and gold micro glitter. This came out in 2018 originally.

Nothing To Disclose

I'm getting through my Pookie's Polish Swap before I get back to some press samples that I've received and this is another thermal polish. This is Pretty Beautiful Unlimited George. I couldn't find much about this polish but it's a lime green polish with holographic glitter, flakies, and orange shimmer.

BCB Lacquers Snow-veralls

Nothing To Disclose

Another new-to-me indie brand today! This is BCB Lacquers, and this polish is called Snow-veralls. This is inspired by 90’s Winter Snow Clothes and it's as a hot pink crelly with purple/pink/blue flakes and black metallic flakes. The bottom of the label says "Day One Fashion Duo" - but I couldn't really find anything else about it as I'm writing.

Zoya Shayne


The finale from the Zoya Fall 2024 Luxe Noir is Zoya Shayne, a warm putty gray with a dazzling display of holographic glitter.
