I grabbed another glitter from the box on my desk and guess what? It's a new Morgan Taylor collection! This is the Thrill of the Chill Winter 2017 collection and I'm a bit surprised that somehow I made swatch sticks of this entire collection but didn't wear them!

This polish is an oldie but a goodie! From the 2012 China Glaze On Safari collection, this is I'm Not Lion, a gold glitter in a clear base with holo microglitters. I cannot believe I haven't worn this year. This is such a gorgeous polish. 

China Glaze Custom Kicks

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another 2009 polish from China Glaze. This is Custom Kicks from the Kicks Collection. This was a 12-piece neon collection that paid homage to Sneakerheads everywhere. Custom Kicks was listed as a dusty teal but it really was a beautiful teal with the tiniest of gold shimmer.

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.

China Glaze Ho! Ho! No.

Press Sample
Nearly 10% of my collection is China Glaze, and yet I've only worn about a quarter of them so I'm going through those drawers next. If you've been following my blog for awhile, you'll know that China Glaze was my first polish love and I was able to actually work with the brand for several years before they changed their PR and ultimately, their entire brand. Today I have Ho! Ho! No. from "The Grinch" Holiday 2018 collection. This was a collaboration with the animated Grinch movie that came out that year with Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch and Pharrell Williams as the Narrator.  This is a red based polish with gold microglitter.

cuccio Putting on the Ritz

Press Sample

I only have two more cuccio collections here on my desk to go through and today I'm starting on the Fall/Winter 2022 collection Speakeasy. This was a really rich 8 piece collection with cremes, duochromes, metallics, and shimmers. First up, Putting On The Ritz, a multifaceted chocolate brown with gold shimmer that was a bit duochromed as you can see above.

Morgan Taylor Seal the Deal

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.

Press Sample
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.
