Cupcake Polish Carrie

Nothing To Disclose
When I originally got this polish, I put it to the side but I figured it's only fair to swatch it before I put it in my sale/trade pile. I do like to be part of the digital footprint of polishes on the Internet. This is Cupcake Polish Carrie, released in September 2024 as part of the Polish Pick Up for September. This is a red flakie in a light grey base which turns black when the thermal is activated.

OPI My Berry Janes

Press Sample

I'm at the finale of my gifted set from the Fall 2025 OPI "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is My Berry Janes, purple shimmer. It took me two times to understand this was a play on Mary Jane shoes... I never wore them in the 90s so I just didn't get it at first.

OPI Track Suited Cutie

Press Sample

I'm moving into the shimmers from OPI's "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is Track Suited Cutie, a taupe with golden shimmer. I know that OPI called it a shimmery mauve but to me, this reminds me of the taupe that had a chokehold on so many of us about a decade ago.

Danglefoot Goosebumps

Nothing To Disclose
I don't wear a lot of solar polishes because their shelf lives tend to be a little short. Today I have a new-to-me brand with Danglefoot. This is Goosebumps, and it's a milky white that is supposed to transition to purple in the sun, and there are light blue/lilac iridescent flakes and silver flakes.
