Zoya Opal Pink Perfector Plus

Press Sample

I'm continuing with the Zoya Opals in their Perfector Plus line, with Opal Pink Perfector Plus. This is a sheer pink with purple pearl flash. I definitely liked the way this one looked on my nails.

Zoya Opal White Perfector Plus

Press Sample
If you know me, you know that when I'm not wearing a polish color, I like to use the Zoya Pure Perfection System. I have pretty nice natural nails, but the Pure Perfector Plus really gives me a clean look, and the Naked Gelie keeps them strong and from peeling. When Zoya announced they were coming out with three new Opals in their Perfector Plus line, I was super curious. Today I'm starting with Zoya Opal White Perfector Plus. This is a pearly white with violet flash.

ORLY All Dahlia'd Up

Nothing To Disclose
I participated in my 13th Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram and was paired up with ForeverLacquered again. Today I'm trying ORLY All Dahlia'd Up from their Breathable collection. This is listed as a one-step system with argan oil, pro-vitamin B5 & vitamin C. You don't use a base or top coat with this line.

Maniology Silk and Satin

Nothing To Disclose
I have a new-to-me brand today - Maniology. I've seen their videos online a lot but hadn't tried their polish. This came in my Pookie's Polish Swap. This is Silk and Satin, a pearl pink. This polish was originally in their Coquette Valentines Mani x Me box.

OPI Pompeii Purple

Nothing To Disclose
I only have a handful of polishes left from this Pookie's Polish Swap and today I have OPI Pompeii Purple. This is a fuchsia purple with a pearl finish.

Chill Zone Sun-Kissed Kisses

Press Sample

Today's Chill Zone polish is called Sun-Kissed Kisses, a rosy pink opaque pearl. I think this was my favorite color of the bunch. I've always loved this hue of color. The website says this is a cream, but there's a subtle pearl shimmer.

lakur by Londontown Weekend Cheers

Press Sample
As I was auditing my polish, I found 4 lakur by Londontown polishes in my stash. Today I'm sharing Weekend Cheers, a coral pink creme with a tiny slight pearl finish.

SPARITUAL Winter Berry

Nothing To Disclose
Here's a brand I haven't seen in a hot minute! This is SPARITUAL Winter Berry, a purple-based pearl. They call it a shimmer, but to me, this is a pearl finish. I have the full size bottle here but this was also available in their Otherworldly Mini Kit. 

Morgan Taylor All Sands on Deck

Nothing To Disclose
Did you see the live-action Disney movie The Little Mermaid? I thought it was beautiful and was happy to see Morgan Taylor partner with Disney for a collection. This is Morgan Taylor All Sands on Deck, a yellow pearl.

essie pinkies out

Nothing To Disclose
I pulled another creme out of my Pookie's Polish Swap - this is essie pinkies out. It's a pearly apricot coral with a hot pink/red flash. 

China Glaze Nickel Ice

Nothing To Disclose
Here's a real throwback today! I have China Glaze Nickel Ice, a grey iridescent pearl shimmer. The pearl leans pink. This is a pre-2000, original core-line polish. I don't have the exact year it came out but with all the talk about the China Glaze rebrand (I'm writing this prior to the big release news on April 20), I thought it would be fun to revisit my oldies.

All Mixed Up Lacquers Maximum Effort!

Nothing To Disclose
Today I have a 2024-released polish that was inspired by Deadpool. This is All Mixed Up Lacquers Maximum Effort!, and it's a red with peal shimmer. The shimmer really throws me off but it's definitely something unique.

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.

Kokie Hotline

Nothing To Disclose
During one of my Pookie's Polish Swaps, I got this bottle of Kokie "Green Polish" called Hotline. This is an orange pearl/metallic polish. I first saw Kokie at Cosmoprof, grabbed a few bottles and was told that it would be in my local cvs/pharmacy soon. I'll be honest, I haven't kept up with the brand but this "green line" says it's 16-free with 83% bio-sourced with clean, plant-based ingredients.

Sally Hansen Out of this Pearl

I have another Sally Hansen Miracle Gel™ polish today - Out of this Pearl. This a frosty rose gold polish.

ella + mila everglow

Press Sample

Another soft and sweet polish from ella + mila today with everglow. This is a holographic pearl shimmer that has a lot of pink tones.

Zoya Angel

Press Sample
Back in the day, Zoya was one of my biggest PR supporters, and I appreciated being able to receive full collections at no-cost, to swatch and share on my blog. I was removed from their list during my inactivity but recently found that they had re-added me and I received the Pink Palette - Summer 2022. Today I have Angel, an iridescent pink lace overlay with periwinkle and golden glitter. Two things about this polish... it is best over other polishes and yes, there was another Zoya "Angel" back in early 2000s - a light pink pearl.

China Glaze Ah Ah Ah-mazing!

Press Sample

It's April Fools Day and well, China Glaze has done it to me again. This is the finale from the "You Do Hue" 2019 collection with Sesame Street - Ah Ah Ah-mazing!, a metallic pearl purple.

duri The Struggle Is Real

Press Sample
As I mentioned yesterday, duri has a line of nail lacquers (psst: they carry gel too!) and today I have a pearlescent and sheer white with a fine, classic glitter. This is The Struggle Is Real ($8.50).

nubar Purple Aster

Press Sample
I don't know what happened in December. Granted, it was my 37th birthday in there somewhere, and there was Christmas and New Years and things just kind of melted together. Another thing that happened was my 8th wedding anniversary and to celebrate, we had family portraits taken by Sweetest Snaps Photography. I found Ashlee through a mom friend who has a daughter the same age as my middle son. I saw a photo in their house that was just breathtaking of her and her two girls and I asked who did them and she told me about Sweetest Snaps.
