cuccio Here & Now

Press Sample
I'm moving on to the cuccio Spring 2022 "Go With The Flow" collection, which was an 8-piece collection of poppy shades, glistening shimmers, and a touch of metallic. This palette was designed to help you develop a carefree style rooted in spontaneity and raw emotion. I'm starting with Here & Now, a bright, poppy geranium-cream shade.

KBShimmer Tapped Out

Nothing To Disclose
When KBShimmer launched her line of reflective glitter polishes in 2021, I immediately bought three, including today's polish, Tapped Out. This is a gorgeous dark-wash denim blue polish with glowy pink shimmer, and you can sometimes see green or gold. Add in some silver reflect pigment, and it's just amazing.

KBShimmer Pine-ing For Yule

Nothing To Disclose
I was in love with this polish when it first came out in Winter 2014. This is KBShimmer Pine-ing For Yule, a clear-based glitter with holographic micro glitter, green triangles, and red stars. I didn't realize it at the time, but this was a Toys for Tots charity polish! If you follow me on Instagram, you may know that I'm now a Toys for Tots coordinator, which makes me very excited.

cuccio Rock the Casbah

Press Sample

It's the last reddish polish from the cuccio Totally 80s Mixtape Summer 2021 collection and today I have Rock the Casbah, a blazing red-orange neon. I do think mine has faded because it felt more pink.

KBShimmer Beach Please

Press Sample
In 2014, KBShimmer was turning 6 years old and came out with an Anniversary Trio. Today, I'm showing Beach Please which originally was a neon pink creme with lots of purple tones. Sadly, like most pink-purple neons, this one has faded to just pink.

cuccio Livin' On A Prayer

Press Sample
Oh hey, another neon pink from the cuccio Totally 80s Mixtape Summer 2021 collection. This is cuccio Livin' On A Prayer, and it's listed as a bright pink neon creme with a yellow coral undertone. I do appreciate that this color had a pink for just about everyone but it's overwhelming when you see them all together.

Glisten & Glow Bromeliad

Nothing To Disclose

Going back to the cuccio Summer 2021 Totally 80's Mixtape collection, and today I have We Got The Beat, listed as a fuchsia neon cream. This is very neon still!

LynB Designs So Juicy

Nothing To Disclose
I decided to start diving into my Helmers to see what polishes I have because we're not buying in 2026 for the most part. I actually didn't buy much in 2025 either because I don't want to buy storage anymore.  Today I have LynB Designs So Juicy, from the summer 2025 Nostalgic Vibes collection. Actually, now I think this came from a Pookie's Polish Swap. This is a neon-pink jelly base with indigo-to-purple-to-pink shifting shimmer.
