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.

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. 

Syzygy Boston Violet Sea Snail

Nothing To Disclose
I finally have nails long enough for thermal polishes! Today I have a new to me brand - Syzygy Boston in the shade Violet Sea Snail. This is a blue to purple thermal with lots of blue and purple flakies.

I've got a few cremes to share with you, starting with essie home by 8. Now, at first glance, to me this is a dark grey with purple undertones, so tell me how essie says it's a faded, soft black nail polish with red undertones. 

Zoya Shivon

Nothing To Disclose

I have a few more Zoya polishes on my desk that I'm playing "Keep or Sell" with... Today I have Shivon, a purple rose-gold with duochrome shimmer.

Zoya Daul

I pulled another oldie but goodie from Zoya - Daul. This is a medium purple with heavy purple and gold iridescent metallic sparkle. This is such a great color for spring!

Kokie Center Stage

Press Sample

Last weekend, I started cleaning out my Helmer drawers and I found another Kokie polish called Center Stage. This is a purple and holographic glitter in a clear base. This is very much like Celestial.

Patricia Bloom In The Desert

Press Sample
I was cleaning out my Helmers while looking for a polish and found another Patricia polish! This is Bloom In The Desert, a purple creme.

Tonic Serendipity

Nothing To Disclose
I decided to organize my Helmers after "losing" polishes and in doing so, I am selling a few things like today's polish. This is Tonic Serendipity, which is a purple "unicorn pee" polish that has golden shimmer.

Zoya Starlette

Press Sample
It's that time again! The Zoya Color of the Month for May is Starlette. This is a beautiful lilac purple holographic glitter that looks like crushed diamonds. This card with my polish mentioned channeling the grounded Taurus or embracing the Gemini spirit. I love that it's a bit of astrology with the beauty.

Zoya Reva

Press Sample
I'm revisiting a polish that I swatched back in 2011 from Zoya - Reva! This was from the Sunshine and Summertime Summer 2011 collection, and was listed as a cool toned strawberry red with glowing golden metallic sparkle that I like to call Glass Fleck. I was quite surprised to see that bottle had gotten darker since the last time that I used it.

China Glaze Don't Mesh With Me

Nothing To Disclose
I have a few shimmers on my desk and while I probably should layer then, I do like to wear them as they are, so you can decide if you want to buy them or not. Today is China Glaze Don't Mesh With Me, from the Fall 2016 Rebel collection. This is listed as a lavender shimmer with a lavender grey base and blue and purple microshimmer.

Zoya Aurora

Nothing To Disclose
I have another Zoya today—this is Aurora. It is a purple holographic with a little bit of golden glitter that is a little jelly-like. This was from the Winter 2012 Ornate Collection.

ella + mila me time

Nothing To Disclose
Since I'm in the middle of another Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram, I realized I needed to get through the rest of my polishes that I've gotten over the last several swaps! I only have 15 after today! I have a lot of cuccio and Zoya to go through so hang on. Today I have ella + mila me time. This was actually from their very first collaboration with lovefreshpaint from Instagram. Her name is Crystal (fitting) and for this polish she said "Because self care is so important, especially for moms, I loved the idea of a shade to signify those little moments where we can steal away to nurture ourselves after nurturing everyone else. This is a dusty purple, a quintessential winter shade." I can definitely say that this is a dusty purple creme.

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.

China Glaze Fall From Grace

Nothing To Disclose
If you're an OG to the blog, you know that I was originally addicted to China Glaze and was fortunate enough to receive press samples from them for years. Unfortunately, I haven't seen much of them in the last few years and they haven't put out a collection since Spring 2014. Today I have China Glaze Fall From Grace from the Halloween 2023 "Serpentine" collection. This is a navy jelly with tons of blue and purple sparkles.

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.

Kokie Rock Star

Press Sample

I grabbed a couple of Kokie polishes from my Helmer - this is Rock Star, a lilac purple with gold shimmer. It's a little thin but super pretty for spring.

Zoya Soraya

Press Sample

I saved the best for last! This is Zoya Soraya from the Beachy Brights 2. A beautiful purple neon creme - this is going in my Helmer 

Zoya Brinkley

Press Sample

I'm not sure how I missed that I started the second half of the Beachy Brights 2 and then it got pushed back on my desk. I already reviewed Loni, but I thought I'd go with Brinkley next, an ultra-bright raspberry magenta neon creme.
