Cat Tail Nails Grow In The Dark

Nothing To Disclose
I have another new to me brand today - this is Cat Tail Nails with the polish Grow In The Dark, a blue teal glow in the dark polish with teal, white, and purple glitter. This was from the Polish Pickup in January 2023.

China Glaze Electric Lilac

Nothing To Disclose
I was trying to clean out another Helmer and somehow grabbed a bunch of China Glaze polishes - some I had already featured here on my blog. However, I hadn't worn Electric Lilac yet. This is a light purple jelly base with mylar flakies throughout it. This was part of the Specialty Colors collection that came out in 2009.

mooncat Magic Mushroom

Nothing To Disclose

I have another Mooncat polish tonight called Magic Mushroom - this was from the 2023 Kaleidoscope Haze collection. This was a jelly collection that was filled with iridescent flakes. Now this polish is a bright yellow-toned citrus orange base with pink and yellow iridescent flakes.

Sweet Heart Polish Helios

Nothing To Disclose
I still have just a few polishes from my 17th Pookie's Polish Swap and one of them is Sweet Heart Polish Helios. This was from the January 2023 Polish Pick Up and it's a red-orange and golden shimmer inspired by the God and personification of the Sun.

Morgan Taylor Denim Du Jour

Press Sample
Did you hear that IKEA discontinued the 6-drawer Helmer and now it's a 5-drawer? Because of this, I'm trying to really go through my drawers and pair down because I refuse to buy a mismatched Helmer. Now somehow, I made swatch sticks of 10 Morgan Taylor polishes and didn't wear them on my nails so I pulled those 10 and here we go! Today I have Denim Du Jour which I think was part of their core release in 2013.

ORLY x Lisa Frank Hits the Spot

Nothing To Disclose
I decided to reuse yesterday's manicure to show off this ORLY x Lisa Frank polish that I got from my last Pookie's Polish Swap. This is Hits the Spot, and is a multicolored small glitter polish in a clear base. There's also mini yellow stars and tiny holographic glitter.

China Glaze Millennium

Nothing To Disclose

Back in 2009, when I started my blog, I purchased the entire fall/winter collection from China Glaze called Khrome. Today I'm sharing Millennium, a steely silver. This applies like liquid metal seriously.

China Glaze Seas and Greetings

Nothing To Disclose

I totally forgot I had this love, Angeline polish called The Clock Strikes Midnight which is a gorgeous grey/black holographic that is red based with a bit of pink shimmer to it. I don't even recall how I got it but I'm sure glad I did because it's beautiful.

China Glaze You're A Mean One

Nothing To Disclose
Who doesn't love a good deep wine purple shimmer polish? Today I have China Glaze You're a Mean One from the Christmas 2018 "The Grinch" collection. This was a collaboration with the movie that came out that year. This is a gorgeous deep purple with wine/magenta shimmer.

ORLY x Kelli Marissa Moonlight Ritual

Nothing To Disclose
Since I was wearing my favorite grey, I decided to put on another polish from my 17th Pookie's Polish Swap with dc_nails4fun. This is ORLY x Kelli Marissa Moonlight Ritual from her 2023 Haunted House Halloween Advent calendar box. This is a full sized polish with tons of blue shimmer, purple shimmer, teal/purple/blue glitter and holographic silver crescent moons all in a clear base.

love, Angeline Did You Say Peppercorn?

Nothing To Disclose

For years I've been looking for THE perfect grey and this love, Angeline Did You Say Peppercorn? has been the closest I've gotten. This matte slate grey has a teeny tiny bit of blue flash and I will cry when I finally run out of it.

China Glaze Gothic Lolita

Press Sample
My nails haven't been this long in a very long time (lol). I know I'm going to have to shorten them soon since it's getting harder to type and I do use a computer every day between work and home. Today I've pulled China Glaze Gothic Lolita from the Spring 2012 ElectroPop collection. I have to say, 2012 was a great year for me and I remember this collection pretty fondly. This was in the "Lights" 6-piece of the collection and it's a purple polish with a tiny hint of a shimmer flash but you barely see it.

China Glaze December to Remember

Press Sample
So here's an oldie! From the China Glaze 2014 "Twinkle" holiday collection, I have December to Remember, a dark blue polish with pink/purple iridescent shimmer. This was part of a 12 piece collection that also had 5 gift sets and 5 nail art kits. No shot glass in this collection but I do have a couple of them from other years.

ILNP Flip Side (M)

Nothing To Disclose
When I was preparing for my work trip last month, I considered wearing an ILNP Magnetic for the days I'd be gone so I pulled out a bunch of them. I thought it would only be right to swatch them before I put them back in my Helmer. Today I have ILNP Flip Side from the Illusions collection. Now, this says it's a magenta to orange to gold sparkle with blue to teal magnetic pigment. That's a mouthful.

Sally Hansen Tidal Wave

Nothing To Disclose
Sally, what are you doing to me? When I saw this opaque blue creme on abe.nailbabe's Instagram, I knew I had to have it. Yes, I know I have Pacific Blue, and On The Download, and Royal Rage but I really wanted to try this one too.

Drunk Fairy Polish Flaminglow

Nothing To Disclose
Today I have another new-to-me brand from my Pookie's Polish Swap that happened earlier this month. This is Drunk Fairy Polish Flaminglow, which was an aurora jelly nail polish with a pink base and blue shimmer flash.

China Glaze Good Tide-ings

Press Sample
It's been satisfying going through my drawers and KonMari-ing my way but also the memories of each new collection that I pull. Today from the 2016 Seas and Greetings collection, I have Good Tide-ings, a lilac-blue creme. This was actually their holiday collection - which was definitely a huge departure from the normal reds and greens of the holidays.
