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.

Morgan Taylor Most Wanted

Press Sample
I pulled another Morgan Taylor today and for some reason, I have a swatch stick for this polish but I never wore it! I do love my swatch sticks but I tend to make them as I wore the polish. This is Most Wanted, a black purple creme.

Zoya Lila

Press Sample

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!

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).

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.

Vegan Pure Pool Party

Nothing To Disclose
I have another polish from my recent swap and today is a new-to-me brand called Vegan Pure and this is the color Pool Party. Vegan Pure says they have a 16-day wear time which is pretty impressive. This is a light jade green creme.

cuccio Duet

Press Sample
I'm starting on another cuccio collection from Summer 2022. This is the Karaoke collection - an 8 piece of energetic and vibrant shades. Today I'm swatching Duet, a retro purple creme.

cuccio Go With The Flow

Press Sample

Today I have the finale from the cuccio Spring 2022 "Go With The Flow" collection with the name sake of the collection - Go With The Flow. This polish is periwinkle creme that I just loved when I first saw it.

cuccio Be Present

Press Sample

Back to the cuccio Spring 2022 "Go With The Flow" collection and today I have Be Present, and this is a vivid purple creme. This is such a pretty orchid color.

Nailtopia Morning Mimosa

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have Nailtopia Morning Mimosa, a tomato red creme. This does have quite a bit of orange in it.

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!

Nothing To Disclose
I got my next Pookie's Polish Swap! My partner was All Things To A Tee and she sent me more brands I've never heard of! Today I have Wonder Lacquer So-Kelp!, a lime-green creme with gold shimmer. This was part of their Summer Fantaseas collection.

cuccio Here & Now

Press Sample
I'm moving on to the cuccio Spring 2022 "Go With The Flow" collection, which was an 8-piece collection of poppy shades, glistening shimmers, and a touch of metallic. This palette was designed to help you develop a carefree style rooted in spontaneity and raw emotion. I'm starting with Here & Now, a bright, poppy geranium-cream shade.

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.

Morgan Taylor Later Alligator

Press Sample
I was looking for a good creme to use for my upcoming blog post tomorrow and pulled Morgan Taylor Later Alligator from my Helmer. This is a true grass-green creme. Now my bottle needed quite a bit of shaking, but ugly bottles don't mean ugly polishes. Let's get into it.

KBShimmer Shore Thing

Press Sample

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.

cuccio glow ahead

Press Sample

Next from the cuccio Fall/Winter 2021 "Your Time to Shine" is glow ahead, a soft grey with subtle pink shimmer. I love colors like this so I was super excited to put this on.

cuccio it's your turn

Press Sample
Today, I'm starting the Fall/Winter 2021 cuccio collection, which was called "Your Time to Shine". This is it's your turn, a soft, hazy mauve creme. This is a really pretty creme - this color was all the range in 2021.
