Press Sample
Today I started reviewing the polishes on my desk, including the box sets from The United Colors Project 2024 called Colors for Kamala & Tim. This is "We Did It, Joe", a "heart red" creme polish. I used this back in November and remembered how pigmented these were. This was part of the "America the Beautiful" trio.

Stella Chroma Classic Red

Nothing To Disclose
It makes me giggle to say I have yet another new-to-me indie brand today! This is Stella Chroma Classic Red, a true red creme with blue undertones. I thought it was similar to KBShimmer Chili Pepper , but it is much brighter.

Cameo Colours Only Bad Witches Are Ugly

Nothing To Disclose
Can you believe it's summer already? Today I have yet ANOTHER new-to-me indie brand called Cameo Colours. This is the shade Only Bad Witches Are Ugly, from the Polish Pickup June 2021. This is a gorgeous bubblegum pink with holographic glitter. The theme that month was "Over the Rainbows" and this was a nod to Glinda the Good Witch of course. But was she really good? This polish had a cap of only 100 bottles.

Bees Knees Lacquer Forget the Bottle

Nothing To Disclose
I'm so close to swatching all the polishes from my nine Pookie's Polish swaps and today I have a bottle that was either decanted or highly loved. This is Bees Knees Lacquer Forget the Bottle. This was from their Witcher Mysteries and it's a pale beige-gold base with red to green multichrome shift and gold reflective glitters.

I have yet another new-to-me brand today! This is Victorian Varnish Actinic Rays, a solar polish that starts off as a sheer white creme with green golden shimmer. But when you get into the sun, it's a pretty pink!

Pink Chawkulit

Nothing To Disclose
I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, I love learning about new brands from my Pookie's Polish Swap on Instagram. Today I have Pink Chawkulit which is both the name of the brand and the name of this signature pink creme polish. They claim this IS the pink that looks good on everyone.

colors by llarowe "As Rome Burned"

Nothing To Disclose
If you've been in the indie world for some time, then you know how much of a burning desire there was for colors by llarowe (CbL) As Rome Burned, a fiery red holographic. I decided to let this polish go, but I wanted to wear it once, so I said I did.

Kiko 505

Nothing To Disclose
Today I have a bottle of Kiko nail lacquer in the color 505. This is a bubblegum pink creme with holographic microglitter for a nice shimmer. I originally found this brand in Las Vegas but it appears that they have changed the bottle types and have added new colors to their inventory.

Moon Shine Mani With Mini Marshmallows

Nothing To Disclose
Here's another new brand to me! This is Moon Shine Mani With Mini Marshmallow, a November 2021 FB Custom. It's a clear base with pink and white round glitters and mini glitters. I decided to layer it over my previous mani from ella + mila.

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.

OPI Mural Mural on the Wall

Nothing To Disclose
Well this is a unique one! I got this from my Pookie's Polish Swap and it's OPI Mural Mural on the Wall in their Infinite Shine 2 formula. So the Infinite Shine system is a 3 piece method to give you up to 11-days of long lasting wear. I don't own the Infinite 1 (base) or Infinite 3 (top), but I still wanted to share this coral/orange jelly polish that has golden shimmer.

FABY A Perfect Day

Press Sample
I have no idea where this bottle of FABY was hiding in my Helmer, but today I'm showing A Perfect Day. This is a small and medium pink round glitter with lots of holographic microglitter and is in a clear base. I should have probably layered it, but went for wearing it alone.

Revisiting Zoya Carrie Ann, from the Fall 2010 Fall Collection Wicked/Wonderful. This was called a Venetian red sparkling metallic (glass fleck). Here was my original post from June 2011. I'm pleased this polish looks just as good as it originally did.
