Fanchro-matic Nails The Grudge

Nothing To Disclose
I got my 16th swap from the Pookie's Polish Swap yesterday and I was paired with Rachel again and man, she sent me a great box! Today I have Fanchro-matic Nails The Grudge, a slightly rusty blood red crelly with green-blue-purple shifting shimmer and iridescent color shifting flakes. This was part of the Halloween Cursed Box from 2020 that was hosted by Necessary Evil polish.

cuccio Hit The High Note

Press Sample

Today marks half way through the cuccio Summer 2022 Karaoke collection with this warm coral neon creme called Hit The High Note. Definitely feels very melon to me.

cuccio Encore

Press Sample
I think I was most excited for this cuccio color from the Summer 2022 Karaoke collection. This is Encore, a fire red neon creme. I do think this was a bit more jelly than creme but it definitely does dry matte.

cuccio Karaoke Party

Press Sample

Moving through the cuccio Summer 2022 Karaoke collection and today I have the collection's name sake - Karaoke Party. This was listed as a glowing orchid neon creme and so I figured my bottle had faded or something. Nope - it really is way more pink than purple or magenta.

KBShimmer All That Glimmers (R)

Nothing To Disclose
So when I pulled out KBShimmer All That Glimmers (R) a pink reflective glitter, it was rock hard. Now, that can happen especially when you don't seal your bottle entirely. I have the KBShimmer Restoration Drops Polish Thinner and I put a ton of it in the bottle and let it sit overnight. I ended up doing that three more times and today, it was perfectly back to it's original state.

Great Lakes Lacquer Festival of Fantasies

Nothing To Disclose
I was organizing one of my Helmer drawers and pulled this Great Lakes Lacquer polish called Festival of Fantasies which is a limited edition from PolishCon Chicago 2017. This is a beautiful violet jelly with red-to-green shimmer and red-to-bronze flakies. I can't believe I haven't worn it before!

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 (R)

Nothing To Disclose
When KBShimmer launched her line of reflective glitter polishes in 2021, I immediately bought four, 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.

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.

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.

cuccio Paradise City

Press Sample

Only three more polishes in the cuccio Totally 80s Mixtape Summer 2021 collection and today I have Paradise City, a bright corral neon creme. I actually really loved this color from the collection.

I have another polish from the cuccio Totally 80s Mixtape Summer 2021 collection. This is cuccio Once In A Lifetime, and it's listed as a flamingo pink neon cream. This collection is pretty wild.

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.
