Zoya Lila


It's the final polish in the Zoya sweetie Spring 2026 collection - today is Zoya Lila. This is a muted lilac pastel and one of my favorite colors ever. I have a purse this color!

KBShimmer Kiss My Butkus You Ditka

Nothing To Disclose

I have a 2017 PolishCon special from KBShimmer called Kiss My Butkus You Ditka which is a navy blue, near Chicago Bears blue polish loaded with linear and scattered holographic sparkle and this had micro orange glitters.

Zoya Arden

Press Sample

I'm almost through the entire Zoya sweetie Spring 2026 collection - today is Zoya Arden. This is an icy aqua mint with blue shimmer. This color is super pretty!

KBShimmer I've Seen Sweater Days

Press Sample

Sometimes I really surprise myself with what I have in my polish collection. Today, from the Fall 2015 collection from KBShimmer, I have I've Seen Sweater Days. This is a teal crelly with cobalt blue glitter, lime green glitter, silver glitter and holo sparkle.

Zoya Fia

Press Sample

I'm halfway through the Zoya sweetie Spring 2026 collection and today I have Zoya Fia, a powder blue with soft sheen. Now I'd called it to have a light pink shimmer, personally.

KBShimmer I Only Have Ice For You

Nothing To Disclose

I have a bit of an obsession with holographic glitters - this isn't a new revelation. Today I have KBShimmer I Only Have Ice For You, which was from the 2013 Blogger Collection and this was the collaboration with Chalkboard Nails. I miss her blogging SO much. This polish has snowy "flecks" and holographic glitter in a slightly tinted grey base.

Zoya Daria

Press Sample

Continuing through Zoya sweetie Spring 2026 collection and today I have Zoya Daria, which is listed as a rich raspberry pastel creme. I don't see this as raspberry at all - to me, this is lilac. I mean, MAYBE this is Raspberry Crush M120-7 Behr color paint (look that one up).

KBShimmer Lightning Ridge

Nothing To Disclose

Today's flakie from KBShimmer is called Lightning Ridge, and it's a teal to blue flakie. Unlike Dark Matter, this is more green toned.

Zoya Lolly (2026)

Press Sample

I'm moving through the Zoya sweetie Spring 2026 collection and today I have Zoya Lolly, which is listed as a dusty rose candy pink creme. Now, as soon as I saw this name, I knew I'd seen it before... yes, Zoya came out with a Lolly polish in 2011 that I reviewed back in the day. The new Lolly has a different ZP even.

KBShimmer Flame Queen

Nothing To Disclose

It's another flakie day! This is KBShimmer Flame Queen, a red-orange-green shifting flakie.

Zoya Sugar

Press Sample

I received the Zoya sweetie collection which is their Spring 2026 line, and I'm a little excited to go through it. This is a 6-piece collection with 4 cremes, a glitter, and a shimmer. I'm starting off with Sugar, a sparking rose gold glitter.

KBShimmer Dark Matter

Nothing To Disclose

I'm getting back to finishing my KBShimmer overhaul in my Helmer and we have another Limited Edition flakie polish. This is Dark Matter, and it's this gorgeous cobalt blue flakie. As with Aurora, the base has yellowed a little but it doesn't seem to affect the flakies.

Don Deeva MacDeeva

Nothing To Disclose

This is my last polish from my latest Pookie's Polish Swap and it's from Don Deeva - it's called MacDeeva, and it's pink with shimmer, flakes, and glitter.

MJ Lacquer Sparkle & Shine

Nothing To Disclose

I was SO excited for this polish from MJ Lacquer called Sparkle and Shine and I knew it was from Polish Pickup in April 2025 but I completely missed that this is a crackle polish!

Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Light Pillars


I only have three more polishes in my last Pookie's Polish Swap and today is Pretty Beautiful Unlimited Night Pillars. This is a dark indigo-purple jelly with green-violet aurora multichrome magnetic shimmer, red-green multichrome aurora shimmer and multicolored multichrome iridescent flakes.

I Scream Nails Non Stop Holo

Nothing To Disclose

I have a couple more polishes from my last Pookie's Polish Swap and today I'm using I Scream Nails Non Stop Holo, an orange holographic. This polish is a little decieving because when my lamp hits it? Hard holo craziness. But under my light box and even outside, it's a little muted.

cuccio Liquid Courage


It's the finale of the cuccio Summer 2022 Karaoke collection - today I have Liquid Courage, which is listed as a white shimmer topper. Now, to me, this is a nude color with lots of green shimmer, so I was a bit excited to wear this one.

Shimmer Crystal

Nothing To Disclose

I have another Shimmer polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap and it's named Crystal (so close!). This is a glitter bomb of brown, gold, green, amber and there was originally holo sparkle. This polish was originally released in 2013 and I do feel like some of the green glitter has faded.
