Glam Polish CRASH!
10.25.2026
Back with Glam Polish and this is from the Knockout Collection of 2015. Today I'm wearing CRASH! a denim blue polish with purple undertones and tons of holographic glitter. This color is amazing.
Glam Polish Charmed
10.23.2026
I have a few more polishes from the Glam Polish Cast A Spell Part 3: The White Witch Collection and today I have Charmed, a light prink with big and micro holographic glitter.
Glam Polish Cut It Out!
10.21.2026
As I continue through my Glam Polish collection, today I have Cut It Out! from the Summer 2017 "Whoa Baby!" collection, inspired by Full House. Oddly, I have no idea how I got this polish. I don't remember buying it but maybe I got it in a swap? This is a beautiful multi-colored holographic glitter polish which blue, green, and lavender peeking through.
Glam Polish Don't Play Koi With Me
10.19.2026
Going into the Under The Sea collection from 2015, today I have Don't Play Koi With Me, a rose-gold/peach holographic glitter polish. This was back when I was just obsessed with Glam Polish and was buying collections in full without really looking at the colors.
Glam Polish GEE!
10.17.2026
Still going through my Glam Polishes - I can't believe I had almost 50 of them. This has been a fun process to see what I want to keep and what I can send on to someone else. Today I have GEE! from the "OH. EM. GEE!" collection trio. This is a raspberry red glitter with some holo glitter in it.
Glam Polish Entrance
10.15.2026
I'm using another Glam Polish from the Cast A Spell Part 3 "The White Witch" collection and this is Entrance, a light seafoam green with holographic glitter. This is a very repetitive collection for me.
Glam Polish Enchanted
10.13.2026
I have another Glam Polish today - this is from the Cast A Spell Part 3: The White Witch and it's called Enchanted. This collection had 9 chunky pastel holos and I bought the whole collection when it first came out. I do believe this collection came out in 2015 and I do think this color has faded a bit.
Glam Polish EM.
10.11.2026
I decided to go back to my Glam Polish because I feel like I am going to end up gifting a lot of these since I seem to have a lot of similar colors. Today I have EM. from the OH. EM. GEE! Trio that was a limited edition in the spring of 2015. This is a grape purple polish with holographic scattered glitter.
Glam Polish BAM!
6.11.2026
Making my way through my Helmer and today I have another Glam Polish from the Knockout Collection. This is BAM! which is a green-based turquoise holographic polish. I think mine may have faded a little bit since its original release in 2015.
Glam Polish Are You Sea-rious?
6.09.2026
I'm back to the Glam Polish Under the Sea collection and today is Are You Sea-rious?, a seafoam green holographic polish with green and blue microglitter. You can see the microglitter really well in this polish.
Glam Polish BANG!
6.07.2026
A different Glam Polish collection today - this is BANG! from the Knockout Collection and it's a bright magenta holographic polish.
Glam Polish Bohemian Rhapsody
6.05.2026
Another throwback to 2015 with my Glam Polish Bohemian Rhapsody from the Gleek collection. This was in the height of Glee, the tv show and I bought the whole collection which consisted of nine polishes. This is a raspberry-pink holographic polish with holographic microglitter.
Glam Polish Did You Catch That?
6.03.2026
How (why) do I have 51 Glam Polish bottles? I swear, it's like a surprise every time I open my Helmer drawers. Today I have Did You Catch That? which was originally an orchid crelly holo with red holo microglitter, shimmer, and glass flecks. This was from the Under The Sea collection that came out in 2015. I do think my bottle may have faded because it feels more pink than purple.
Glam Polish Equestria Explosion
11.12.2025
What do you do with glitter bombs? Today I have Glam Polish Equestria Explosion, from the April 2025 Polish Pickup. This has different sizes of neon glitter and green and gold shimmer. I read online that this is also black light reactive with the neon glitters.
Glam Polish Run The World
1.21.2025
One of my goals for 2025 was to get my Helmers organized by brand and boy, do I have a lot more Glam Polish than I realize. Today I have Run The World which is a limited edition taupe crelly with gold-green shimmer from their Nude Shimmers collection.
Glam Polish ZOOM!
9.09.2019
Why hello friends. If you follow my Facebook, you'll know that unfortunately, we were the victims of a home invasion and they took my camera and computer - two things that are essential in my blogging. (My Helmers were also ruined but that's another story.) The good news is that the majority of our items were recovered including said camera and computer so here I am, trying to find some normalcy in my life again with blogging.
Glam Polish Secrets In The Sand
10.24.2018
It's been about six weeks since I last put on nail polish. After I found my nail polish spreadsheet had been deleted, I've been in a funk and not wanted to even get to my polish. However, I'm trying to find my passion and love again especially with the holidays and all the parties. Speaking of, I went to my first formal event in nearly 15 years and needed something to punch up my dress.
Glam Polish POW!
2.14.2016
Happy Valentine's Day! I'm super proud of myself for actually making it through all 14 days - especially when I thought I wasn't going to make it towards the end. I also want to thank all those bloggers who participated with me! It's a lot of work to come up with 14 different polishes, nail art designs or just blog postings in general! To close this all out, I have Glam Polish POW! from the Knockout Part 1 collection.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl Top Coat. I really liked the brush on this polish - it's round but it's also fluffy which I like fluffy brushes when it comes to holos.

PolishGalore: Nails In Real Life
11.12.2015
2015 has been really crazy, really scary, and really awesome all at the same time. I had a baby, I quit a really good job but for an even BETTER job, and I've been really busy on the home front. I'm still attempting to balance home, work, and fun but while I'm figuring that one out, I wanted to show you a few "nails in real life" - polishes that I didn't review for the blog but I actually wore. Some were press samples (which is why I've labeled this post as such) but some I bought myself. I tend to post more to Instagram when it's quick snapshots like this but now I hear that even Instagram is limiting what people see (thanks Facebook for buying Instagram and applying the same 'pay for play' business model).
In July, I went to Cosmoprof North America for less than 24 hours. Not sure that I will ever put my body through that again, but it was still fun. I really wanted something flashy so I knew I was going to wear ILNP "Mega (X)" from the Summer 2015 collection but I wanted some base creme to layer it over, so I went with Love, Angeline "Did You Say Peppercorn?!" which is a matte grey creme. Add 2 coats of "Mega (X)" and we were in business.
After Cosmoprof I needed something nice but neutral for my job interview so I went with ILNP "Long Walks" from the Summer 2015 collection. It's a dusty purple/taupe with a little bit of bronze shimmer - nothing too flashy but still had something to keep me interested.
After my neutral color, I wanted something flashy, so I grabbed F.U.N. "Goodness Of The Dawn" from the Summer 2015 collection. Only 2 coats and removal wasn't too terrible despite the glitter overload.
So I didn't get to see any of my Cosmoprof beauties for a few days because I had to have them shipped to me (THANK YOU SO MUCH THE DAILY NAIL!) but one that wowed me was Fair Maiden Polish - "Just a Mirage". I already love all things purple and holo but this was a nice plum with red base and only 2 coats.
After getting my new job, I knew I wanted to start off with some color. I blindly picked China Glaze "I Brake For Colour" from the Spring 2015 Road Trip collection. I felt like I wimped out a bit by not going crazy neon holo nuts but I didn't want anyone to think I was too crazy (yet).
My second week of work seemed to be a bit more demanding on my hands, so I opted for Gelish MINI "From Rodeo to Rodeo Drive" from the Fall 2015 Urban Cowgirl collection. It reminded me a little of ILNP "Long Walks" minus the bronze shimmer. This was only 2 coats but I should have used 3.
Then I snapped a few nails so I decided to cut them down to super nubbins - absolutely no free edge. I forgot how liberating they can be, especially when typing! To show off, I used ILNP "Missed Calls" which is a fantastic charcoal black holo that I am obsessed with.
Next I decided to go with Colors by Llarowe "As Rome Burned" from the August 2015 A Box, Indied collection. I seriously want to wear this all the time. NO staining either which is something I was really worried about. Only 2 coats but it did dry matte so I needed a good top coat to bring out the shine.
I decided to go for another Gelish MINI after that - this is "Brights Have More Fun". I was nervous about trying a neon without a white base coat, but you can see it did pretty well on its own.
Two weeks later and my nubs got out of control as well as my cuticles. I also tend to get hangnails on my index and middle fingers and I really try to leave them alone. But to feel pretty, I put on Glam Polish "Bohemian Rhapsody".
But then I decided to go dark blue to match my outfit when we were headed to a wedding. This is ILNP "After Midnight" from the Fall 2015 Collection.
Just one day later, I was moving to ILNP "Money Bin" to coordinate with the La Palmera #ReadySetGold Fashion Show that I attended.
Just a short time later, I was heading to Florida for training at my new job. I was super excited to go on a trip so I decided to bring a little ILNP with me. This is "Walking Home" and the purple holo is SO in your face. I was obsessed.
Despite owning tons of ILNP, I hadn't worn any of the multichrome crazy polishes yet so I decided I was going to wear ILNP "Cameo". I ended up going almost a whole week in this polish and couldn't stop playing with the color shift from purple to green to gold. Loved it!
Last week, a friend was eloping, so a bunch of us did manis to surprise her. I wanted something red and holo-y so I used both Morgan Taylor "Ruby Two-Shoes" with Starrily "Poisoned Apple" for this beautiful combination.
And now on my hands I have Polished by KPT "No Makeup Needed" which is a nude holo. After all the red and purple I had been wearing, I felt like wearing something a little neutral. I'm on Day 5 of this mani and while I need to remove it before Saturday (family photos!), it's held up very well.
And there you have it! That's been my "Nails In Real Life" and while I wished I had properly photographed and written a review for the blog, I'm glad that I at least documented them on Instagram. Do you have any favorites from what I wore?

Glam Polish WHAM!
8.07.2015
So it's been a hot month - literally and figuratively. If you've been following my Instagram, you know that in July I was back to work full time, I went to Las Vegas for my 5th Cosmoprof North America convention, I've spent plenty of time with my Squish (who is now 3 months old) and then I got a new job! Needless to say, it's been a busy month and I have lots to show you from Cosmoprof - both mainstream booths I visited and the Cocktails and Colors 2015 Indie party that was held in the evening after the convention.
But today, I wanted to show you my new obsession. I've fallen down the rabbit hole that is Glam Polish. This Australian brand puts out SO MANY POLISHES a year and typically I need all the polish. Thankfully, they do have a USA stockist in house so I don't have to pay Australian shipping but that almost makes my wallet weep more. Let me show you the amazing WHAM! from the Knockout Collection Part 2. This is a crazy scattered silver holo that was perfectly opaque in just 2 coats. You heard me! TWO!
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. I was happy that this brushed on well because you never know with all that glitter. Thankfully, removal wasn't terrible either - just let your cotton pad sit for a moment on the nail plate before pushing down slightly and pulling it down off your nail. Don't scrub back and forth with the cotton pad... you'll just end up with glitter on your hands and possible tears in your nails. Patience is key to keep your nails looking fantastic!
WHAM! sells for $12 but I purchased the entire collection which gave me a $10 discount (a little over $1 per bottle savings).
