Morgan Taylor You Crack Me Up

Press Sample

I'm bouncing back to the Morgan Taylor Holiday 2017 collection called "Little Miss Nutcracker" and today I pulled this bright green glitter in a clear base called You Crack Me Up. At first, I couldn't understand the reference but then I recalled that some of the older wooden nutcrackers wore green pants or had green coat accents so I'm following.

Morgan Taylor Wrapped In Riches

Press Sample

Alright! Last polish from the Morgan Taylor Royal Life collection - Holiday 2013 and it's Wrapped In Riches, a green & blue glitter in a clear base. I was actually super excited for this one.

Morgan Taylor Jungle Boogie

Press Sample

I promise, this isn't black. It sure looks like it though! Today I have Morgan Taylor Jungle Boogie, which I believe was part of their core line. This is a dark, blackened green creme polish. 

cuccio Paradiso

Press Sample

Only two polishes left in the cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 collection. Today I have Paradiso, which is listed as a bright turquoise creme. I have to be honest - I thought maybe my bottles were mislabeled because this to me looks like mint - not turquoise.

cuccio Grotto Go

Press Sample

I'm getting down to the last few polishes in the cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 polish. Today I have Grotto Go, which is listed as a bright mint creme. So is it blue? Is it green? What is mint to you? I do love polishes this color thought.

Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier

Nothing To Disclose
Sometimes I forgot about the polishes I have like this unicorn from Ninja Polish called Mystic Glacier. This was from the Enigma collection and it's a soft blue base with multichromatic pigments in copper and green. I've seen this polish sell for nearly $100 on resale sites and I have been tempted.

Alchemy Lacquers Effervescent

Nothing To Disclose
I have my last polish from the latest Pookie Polish Swap and this is Alchemy Lacquers Effervescent from the Peacock Parade collection that I think was released in Summer 2022. This is a beautiful glowy blue polish with green duochrome shimmer.

Pahlish Kismet

Nothing To Disclose
I'm powering through my latest Pookie's Polish Swap and today is Pahlish Kismet, from the 2025 "Life of a Showgirl" collection. Kismet is a prussian blue with fine purple/pink/gold shimmer. Now, the prussian blue is so hard to photograph but it is the base especially in the first two coats.

Nothing To Disclose

I have another jen & berries polish today from one of my Pookie's Secret Swap partners. This is Darmok and Jalad on the Ocean and was a "Trek of the Month" polish. This is a beautiful ultramarine blue base with multi-shifting shimmers of gold, red, and green.

Morgan Taylor Feeling Swim-sical

Press Sample
So today, we're dipping back to 2020... COVID. Somehow, I not only swatched but wore today's Morgan Taylor Feeling Swim-sical, from the 2018 Make a Splash summer collection. This is a vibrant turquoise blue/teal/green leaning polish that dried a bit matte but wasn't a neon. The above photo is from 2020.

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.

I'm halfway through the matte polishes from love, Angelina. This is Match-a-Mint, a light green matte polish. I don't have a ton to say about this.

Glam Polish BAM!

Nothing To Disclose
Making my way through my Helmer and today I have another Glam Polish from the Knockout Collection. This is BAM! which is a green-based turquoise holographic polish. I think mine may have faded a little bit since its original release in 2015.

Glam Polish Are You Sea-rious?

Nothing To Disclose
I'm back to the Glam Polish Under the Sea collection and today is Are You Sea-rious?, a seafoam green holographic polish with green and blue microglitter. You can see the microglitter really well in this polish.

China Glaze Smoke and Ashes

What's with these bottles being impossible to see. This is China Glaze Smoke and Ashes from the Capitol Collection... this was supposed to be District 12 - Coal. This is a super dark base (pretty much black) with green/blue shimmer.

Great Lakes Lacquer Love At Navy Pier

Nothing To Disclose

Today's Great Lakes Lacquer polish brought up some big memories for me. Today I have Love At Navy Pier, which was the VIP polish for the 2017 PolishCon Chicago event. This is a deep green/blue polish with holographic shimmer and blue purple shimmer.

Morgan Taylor Lost In Paradise

Press Sample

Why do some of the prettiest polishes get UBS! Ugly Bottle Syndrome is just when the pigments sink so while this Morgan Taylor polish is definitely an aqua creme, it looks way more green on the bottom half of the bottle! This is Lost In Paradise, another polish that I have a swatch stick for this polish but I never wore it! I don't think this was part of any collection and was just part of their core release instead.

Morgan Taylor Holy Cow-Girl!

Press Sample
I have another Morgan Taylor today and this is Holy Cow-Girl! This is a sage green with silver micro-fleck shimmer. This was from the Urban Cowgirl collection in Fall 2015.

KBShimmer Pinfire

Nothing To Disclose
When I first saw KBShimmer Pinfire, I was in LOVE. This is a teal-to-green flakie that was in their 2014 Limited Edition flakie collection. Yes, my base has yellowed and yes it's hard to see in the bottle but trust me.

KBShimmer Lightning Ridge

Nothing To Disclose
Today's flakie from KBShimmer is called Lightning Ridge, and it's a teal to blue flakie. Unlike Dark Matter, this is more green toned.
