Elevation Polish x Pahlish The Merchant's Son

Nothing To Disclose
This polish is a decade old and going to a new home, but I wanted to swatch it first. This is the Elevation Polish x Pahlish duo from the 2015 Cosmoprof North America convention. Back in the day, indies and bloggers would get together during the convention, which was really the precursor to PolishCon, The Indie Shop, Indie Expo Canada, and Polish & Beauty Expo. This was a thermal, green shimmer creme from turquoise (warm) to teal (cold). Mine has faded to a green version of the warm state.

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.

Stached Polish Tis Friday 13 Oct 2017

As I was cleaning up my Helmers last month, I found this mini bottle from Stached Polish called Tis Friday 13 Oct 2017. This was a limited edition polish during the 2017 The Indie Shop San Antonio. It's a green blue creme.

Zoya Maisie

Last month I showed you Zoya Opal, now here is Zoya Maisie from the same Fleck Effects collection. This one is green mylar flakies in a blue-tinted base. The bottle is beautiful on its own for sure.

Sweet Heart Polish Summertime Scramble

I haven't been a Polish Pick Up purchaser, but they sure have some super unique offerings! Today I have Sweet Heart Polish Summertime Scramble from June 2022. This is a neon green polish with gold flakies and golden shimmer.

Look at this neon green today! Today is JReine Radioactive Nom Nom, a neon green with yellow shimmer. The label has worn off but the bottom label was intact.

Zoya Opal

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.

Death Valley Nails Snake Oil

Nothing To Disclose

One last Death Valley Nails polish today—this is Snake Oil, a multichrome red/gold/green with holographic glitter. I got this one in my Pookie's Polish Swap but if you buy from their website, you get a removable handmade decorative bronze cap.

China Glaze On The Rocks

Nothing To Disclose
I have another oldie China Glaze today! This is On The Rocks, a sheer seafoam aqua/green nail with aqua micro-shimmer. This was from the 2006 Tequila Toes collection. Talk about a throwback.

Humble Bee Polish Sage Afterglow

I grabbed another Humble Bee Polish called Sage Afterglow. This polish was released in the fall of 2024 as part of the Sunset Rainbow collection. It's a lime green with red-to-orange aurora shimmer.

OPI Significant Other Color

Nothing To Disclose
I am trying to make some room in my Helmers and grabbed OPI Significant Other Color, a pink/lilac pearl with green shimmer. I don't remember when I got this bottle but I had never seen anything like it. It's crazy how many bottles of OPI have and I was super grateful when I used to be on their media list and would get advanced samples.

OPI Tealing Festive

Nothing To Disclose
Well, I had a devastating nail break this week, so I figured I'd finish all my swap bottles from Pookie's Polish Swap and see how long they grow before my manicure next week. This is OPI Tealing Festive - a medium-dark blue-green metallic.

Different dimension Pier Pressure

Nothing To Disclose
I keep randomly pulling polishes from my Helmer, and today is a throwback to 2016 with Different dimension Pier Pressure. This was from the Pretty Nauti collection and was a silver shimmer base with blue and green glitters and a holographic glitter scattered throughout. It was supposed to look like sea glass, one of my new obsessions.

mooncat Serpent's Tongue

Nothing To Disclose
During one of my Pookie's Polish Swaps, I got this bottle of mooncat Serpent's Tongue. This is a purple polish with holographic sparkle and green shimmer. This polish does dry textured but a good top coat will smooth that out.

Zoya Feifei

Press Sample

As I was making room in my Helmer, I grabbed Zoya Feifei, a metallic blue/grey with green and gold shimmer. I don't even recall how old this is, but it's an older polish for sure.

Good Knight Polish What's Kraken?

Nothing To Disclose
Another day, another new-to-me brand! This is Good Knight Polish What's Kraken? and it's a green creme with blue shimmer. The formula was super easy to apply.

Zoya Stassi

Press Sample

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Today I have Zoya Stassi, a grass green shimmer with blue, yellow, and green glitter. I thought this was a great pop of green for today.

Shimmer Katie

Nothing To Disclose
I didn't realize I had a bunch of Shimmer polishes - but I do! This is Katie, a mix of gray, green, and pink glitters in a clear base.

Zoya Cricket

Press Sample
It's that time again! Time for the Zoya Color of the Month and this month is Cricket, a light clover creme. I was a little surprised that it wasn't a glitter bomb, but I do like a Zoya creme. This was super opaque, not streaky, in just one coat.

ella + mila one way ticket

Press Sample

Today I have ella + mila one way ticket from the Elite collection, which is listed as a summertime teal matte. I think maybe my bottle has faded, which happens sometimes with neon teals.
