Nothing To Disclose
I liked this polish so much, I bought it twice. This is KBShimmer Novel Idea (R) and it's a grape purple multi-shimmer with reflective glitter. There's SO many colors to this polish.

Red Eyed Lacquer Thanks

Nothing To Disclose
I have another polish from my last Pookie's Polish Swap and today I have a new-to-me brand called Red Eyed Lacquer. This polish is called Thanks and it was a November 2025 release of a sheer polish with green/gold shifting shimmer and holo flakes.

KBShimmer Flake Me Home Tonight

Press Sample
Well, today I have another faded polish, sadly. This is KBShimmer Flake Me Home Tonight, originally a mint-green metallic with silver flakes and holographic microglitter. This polish is 10 years ago and again, metallics just don't hold up like a creme or even a holo.

Ready for another glitter bomb? Today, from the cuccio "Your Time to Shine" fall/winter 2021 collection, I have straighten your crown, a heavy gold glitter. I wasn't sure how this one was going to apply but I was excited to try.

I'm trucking away through my polishes and this was another from a Pookie's Polish Swap. This is the Girly Bits x Gracie Jay & Co I Wasn't Supposed to Put Beef In The Trifle!. This is from the show Friends, which I never watched so the joke was a little lost on me. This is a light-brown polish with small aqua glitter, silver microglitter, and red-to-gold shifting shimmer.

I'm working through the polishes on my desk and today I have Cracked You're Doing Amazing Sweetie, a rose gold pink polish with both silver and pink microglitters. This is also from the "How Would You Describe Your Relationship?" collection.

OPI Track Suited Cutie

Press Sample

I'm moving into the shimmers from OPI's "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is Track Suited Cutie, a taupe with golden shimmer. I know that OPI called it a shimmery mauve but to me, this reminds me of the taupe that had a chokehold on so many of us about a decade ago.

Nvr Enuff Wildfire

Nothing To Disclose
I have another Pookie's Polish Swap color today. My swap partner, Forever Lacquered, was so generous with a great variety of polishes! This is Nvr Enuff Wildfire, described as an "acid-green linear holo with micro green/gold flakes, a golden shift and a splash of iridescent glitters." This was from the Winter Is Here, Game of Thrones collection back in 2017.

Zoya Emery

Press Sample
Today's polish is special to me because it's my name! Okay, so it's my married last name, but still. I'm surprised how many people think it's my first name. Today I have Zoya Emery, from the Fall 2025 Muse collection. This is a "velvet metallic spun from black espresso and antique gold." I feel that it's a bit more violet based brown but spot on with the gold. Let's get into it.
