Morgan Taylor Lost In Paradise

Press Sample

Why do some of the prettiest polishes get UBS! Ugly Bottle Syndrome is just when the pigments sink so while this Morgan Taylor polish is definitely an aqua creme, it looks way more green on the bottom half of the bottle! This is Lost In Paradise, another polish that I have a swatch stick for this polish but I never wore it! I don't think this was part of any collection and was just part of their core release instead.

KBShimmer Pinfire

Nothing To Disclose
When I first saw KBShimmer Pinfire, I was in LOVE. This is a teal-to-green flakie that was in their 2014 Limited Edition flakie collection. Yes, my base has yellowed and yes it's hard to see in the bottle but trust me.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Fanchro-matic Nails The Grudge

Nothing To Disclose
I got my 16th swap from the Pookie's Polish Swap yesterday and I was paired with Rachel again and man, she sent me a great box! Today I have Fanchro-matic Nails The Grudge, a slightly rusty blood red crelly with green-blue-purple shifting shimmer and iridescent color shifting flakes. This was part of the Halloween Cursed Box from 2020 that was hosted by Necessary Evil polish.

KBShimmer Fleece Navidad

Nothing To Disclose
I was looking at my KBShimmer drawer and I completely forgot I had this polish in my drawer! This is Fleece Navidad, and it's a soft, silvery grey with holographic sparkle and blue micro flakes. This was from the Winter 2015 collection.

Nailtopia Nallor's Knot

Nothing To Disclose
Another day, another new-to-me polish brand! This is Nailtopia Nallor's Knot, a medium blue creme. I hadn't heard of this brand prior to receiving it in this swap. Nailtopia nail lacquer is 85% bio-sourced. Vegetable based ingredients like, potato, corn, wheat and manioc partially replace conventional petrochemical solvents, plasticizer and nitrocellulose. Quite interesting!

KIKO 006

Nothing To Disclose

I have another polish from my swap... This is KIKO 006 from their Power Pro line. This is a metallic teal polish but I cannot find it anywhere online.

KBShimmer Up and Cunning

Press Sample
I have another KBShimmer Fall 2014 polish today! This is Up and Cunning, a deep linear holographic teal. There was definitely a point in my polish life where I had to have ALL THE HOLOS. KBShimmer always had some great formulas.

KBShimmer Tapped Out (R)

Nothing To Disclose
When KBShimmer launched her line of reflective glitter polishes in 2021, I immediately bought four, including today's polish, Tapped Out. This is a gorgeous dark-wash denim blue polish with glowy pink shimmer, and you can sometimes see green or gold. Add in some silver reflect pigment, and it's just amazing.

KBShimmer Hugs and Wishes

Nothing To Disclose

I'm continuing with more KBShimmer today and this is from the Fall 2014 collection. This is Hugs and Wishes, a dusty lavender creme. I do feel that my bottle has faded slightly since its original release.

cuccio sparkle brighter

Press Sample
Only a few polishes remain in the cuccio "Your Time to Shine" Fall/Winter 2021 collection, and today I have sparkle brighter - a blue, violet & pink glitter blend. I wasn't sure about the opacity on this polish either, but I was glad to try.

KBShimmer Shore Thing

Today's KBShimmer polish is from the 6th Anniversary Trio back in 2014 and this is Shore Thing, an aqua creme. The other two polishes in this trio were Hexy Bikini and Beach Please.

Nothing To Disclose
I have some more KBShimmers to go through and today I have Laugh Myself Lily from the Spring 2014 collection. This was listed as a muted jade crelly with holographic hex glitter in gold, pink, silver, lavender, and blue. 

Uno Mas Colors My Friend, El Monstruo

Nothing To Disclose
Crazy that I'm almost through my last Pookie's Polish Swap. I'm about to get back to some older collections that I have sitting on my light desk that I've been needing to be swatched. Today I have Uno Mas Colors My Friend, El Monstruo. This is a magnetic polish with a smoky purple base and blue/green shimmer.
