Morgan Taylor Ice Cold Gold

Press Sample
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 2018 collection and I'm a bit surprised that somehow I made swatch sticks of this entire collection but didn't wear them! Today I have Ice Cold Gold, which is a yellow gold glitter with gold shreds in a gold-clear base.

China Glaze I'm Not Lion

Press Sample
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.

Great Lakes Lacquer Leaves In The Lake

Nothing To Disclose

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

Press Sample
I have six more Morgan Taylor polishes to go through on my desk and today is Morgan Taylor Seal the Deal, a burgundy shimmer. This is such a dark shimmer and a very fall thing.

Zoya Sugar

Press Sample
I received the Zoya sweetie collection which is their Spring 2026 line, and I'm a little excited to go through it. This is a 6-piece collection with 4 cremes, a glitter, and a shimmer. I'm starting off with Sugar, a sparking rose gold glitter.

KBShimmer Novel Idea (R)

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.

cuccio In The Moment

Press Sample

Back to the cuccio Spring 2022 "Go With The Flow" collection and today I have In The Moment. This is a beautiful polish in the bottle. It's purple with a beautiful golden shimmer glow!

KBShimmer Stop and Smell the Rose

Nothing To Disclose
Another KBShimmer today! This is Stop and Smell the Rose and this was originally a beautiful rose gold holographic shade. Unfortunately, mine has faded.

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.

cuccio straighten your crown

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.

Girly Bits x Gracie Jay & Co I Wasn't Supposed To Put Beef In The Trifle!

Nothing To Disclose
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.

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.

Nothing To Disclose
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.
