Witchcult Nail Lacquer Sea Glass

Nothing To Disclose
I have such a love/hate with thermal polishes. Today I have another new-to-me indie called witchcult nail lacquer and this is their thermal Sea Glass. From what I can tell online, it's a seafoam-aqua stage when warm, and is a grey-purple when cold. There's also lots of mylar flakies running through it. Unfortunately, my bottle is "dead" and stuck in its cold state.

Zoya Opal

Nothing To Disclose
Okay, okay, let me finally layer a polish like I'm supposed to! Now, this is the original Zoya Opal, a green/blue flakie in a clear base released in 2012. The item # is ZP583. If you look up Opal on the Zoya website now, it's a pink with rose glitter and #ZP1238 released in 2024. Why the rename? I have no idea.

Noodles Nail Polish Blue Lagoon

Nothing To Disclose
I love that I keep learning about new indie brands through my Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram. For some reason, hashtags haven't worked for me, but if you're interested, PookieBear0625 is the group owner. Today I have Noodles Nail Polish Blue Lagoon, a semi-sheer, cyan blue crelly with blue/green/gold shifting flakes, light blue matte glitter, and lime/gold iridescent glitter. This was from the August 2023 For The Love of Polish Box called "Summer Drinks."

Cadillacquer I Don't Know What To Say

Nothing To Disclose
I'm winding down the rest of my Pookie's Polish Swap and this is Cadillacquer I Don't Know What To Say. This thermal was from 2021 so I do think it's faded since the bottle shots I see online are much more red and my bottle is more pink. It's supposed to be a red to "colorless" thermal but it looks more blue to me in the warm state.

Nothing To Disclose

Today, I have a Glisten & Glow polish from PPU for February 2023. This is Bing Bong Bing Bong, a reference to the Disney movie Inside Out. This is definitely a kitchen sink polish to me with a grape jelly base, iridescent color shifting flakes, holo flakes, and then purple and pink glitter in different sizes. Whew.

Don Deeva Foolish Mortals

I'm really proud of myself for making a dent in the polish sitting on my desk. Don't mind that I have like 50 more on my desk but still... Today I have Don Deeva Foolish Mortals, another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap. This was from their Haunted Mansion exclusive. This is a deep burgundy/plum with aqua microflakes. I don't think I've ever seen a polish like this before!

Sea glass indeed!

mooncat Cheshire Cat

Nothing To Disclose
Since I swatched one Cheshire Cat, I thought I'd swatch another! This is mooncat Cheshire Cat, and it's a purple flakie and SURPRISE - is magnetic! I didn't know that when I originally wore this polish so I was shocked when I saw that one another blog. Since I got this as part of my Pookie's Polish Swap, I had no idea, and the label didn't specify magnetic on it.
