Another new-to-me indie brand today! This is BCB Lacquers, and this polish is called Snow-veralls. This is inspired by 90’s Winter Snow Clothes and it's as a hot pink crelly with purple/pink/blue flakes and black metallic flakes. The bottom of the label says "Day One Fashion Duo" - but I couldn't really find anything else about it as I'm writing.

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 Maisie

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.

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.

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.
