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.

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.

Lucky 13 Lacquer Lord of the Dead

Nothing To Disclose
I have another Lucky 13 Lacquer polish from my 17th Pookie's Polish Swap with dc_nails4fun and Lord of the Dead, a blue flakie thermal. The light blue turns to a purple but I could barely get that to work. I don't think this is a dead thermal - I just think my nails aren't long enough right now.

Great Lakes Lacquer Leaves In The Lake

Finishing up my Great Lakes Lacquer polishes and today is Leaves In The Lake. This is a dark navy jelly with red-gold flakies. This was part of the PolishCon 2016 Chicago exclusive. The brush on this was super fluffy.

Painted Polish Mer-Maid It To The Pier

Nothing To Disclose
I thought I had a lot of Painted Polish bottles but it's only 10 as well. I have at least three different logos of theirs but I really like the current one which is a rectangle of two P's. This is an older polish called Mer-Maid It To The Pier, which was the exclusive polish for PolishCon 2017 at the Navy Pier in Chicago. Now sadly, it appears that my bottle has faded as this was originally a lavender/light periwinkle creme base, holographic glitter & multichrome metallic flakies.

Great Lakes Lacquer Love Times Five

Nothing To Disclose
In the same Helmer as my rouge China Glaze, I have my Great Lakes Lacquer polish. I decided to pull all the ones I haven't worn before and I was surprised there was only 4 bottles. I have been selling and trading some of these which is why I only have 10 now in my collection. One thing I love about GLL is that they have done a lot with flakies. Today I have Love Times Five, which was a PolishCon Minneapolis VIP Bag Exclusive. This is a teal blue polish with multicolored flakies and blue microglitter/shimmer.

KBShimmer Ready For This Jelly

Nothing To Disclose
I forgot all about this flakie from KBShimmer! This was a 2016 Chicago PolishCon Exclusive and it's a medium purple jelly base packed with rainbow iridescent flakes. This was from the same trio as Let's Slang and Alcohol You Later.

We're at the last KBShimmer 2014 Limited Edition flakie collection and it's my favorite. This is KBShimmer Rainbow Shield, and it's literally a rainbow of flakies.

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 Lightning Ridge

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.

Don Deeva MacDeeva

KBShimmer Aurora

Nothing To Disclose
Back in 2014, flakies had a HOLD on the polish world. I bought from several brands because it was just a magpie of "I want everything." Today I have KBShimmer Aurora, a green to orange flakie.

Great Lakes Lacquer Festival of Fantasies

Nothing To Disclose
I was organizing one of my Helmer drawers and pulled this Great Lakes Lacquer polish called Festival of Fantasies which is a limited edition from PolishCon Chicago 2017. This is a beautiful violet jelly with red-to-green shimmer and red-to-bronze flakies. I can't believe I haven't worn it before!

Good Knight Polish Biohazard

Nothing To Disclose
I have another flakie today from Good Knight Polish called Biohazard - a jelly orange with lots of flakies. This polish has a dystopian story: Huge military grade vehicles converge on what's left of the town. Individuals fully suited in bright orange Biohazard suits start to unload heavy looking machines. For a moment you think you are saved, but as the town burns to the ground around you, so to do your hopes. Now that's a backstory.

Twinkle & Hex Run Rudolph

Nothing To Disclose
I have another Twinkle & Hex polish today! This is Run Rudolph, a vibrant magenta crelly packed with scattered gold flakes and a punch of violet sparkle. This is pretty unique in my collection right now.
