Morgan Taylor I'm Drawing a Blanco


Let's throw it back to Fall 2017 now - from the Morgan Taylor Matadora collection, I have I'm Drawing a Blanco. This is an icy metallic white shimmer with iridescent micro-flakes. To me, it's also very pearl like.

cuccio Venice to Meet You


Another day, another cuccio "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 polish today! Today I have Venice to Meet You, a subtle blue silver glitter. This is such a Cinderella polish to me! I was pretty excited for it.

cuccio Monza Monza

Press Sample

I'm finally reviewing my final cuccio collection that I had received from the company. The "Paradiso" Spring/Summer 2023 collection was a throwback to cuccio's Italian roots. So I've noticed that cuccio has definitely been more into their gels and nail care but in looking at their website, they did have a Spring/Summer 2026 collection called Spellbound that has both lacquer and gel. Back to today's polish - this is Monza Monza, a poppy red shimmer.

Ninja Polish Mystic Glacier

Nothing To Disclose

Sometimes I forgot about the polishes I have like this unicorn from Ninja Polish called Mystic Glacier. This was from the Enigma collection and it's a soft blue base with multichromatic pigments in copper and green. I've seen this polish sell for nearly $100 on resale sites and I have been tempted.

Alchemy Lacquers Effervescent

Nothing To Disclose

I have my last polish from the latest Pookie Polish Swap and this is Alchemy Lacquers Effervescent from the Peacock Parade collection that I think was released in Summer 2022. This is a beautiful glowy blue polish with green duochrome shimmer.

Nothing To Disclose

I have another polish from my Pookie's Polish Swap and this is from the brand Fair Maiden. This is Unbreakable from the Breast Cancer Awareness 2022 box that was on Hearts & Promises website. This is a beautiful magenta purple with blue shimmer.

OPI x Supergirl Battle Red-y


Today I have my last OPI x Supergirl RapiDry polish called Battle Red-y. This is a fierce red shimmer polish and totally screams "Supergirl" to me for sure.

OPI x Supergirl Blush of Power


The other two OPI x Supergirl polishes that came to me were from the RapiDry line. This is a quick dry, smudge-proof finish lacquer. This is Blush of Power, a light pink pearl polish with a blue iridescent shimmer.

OPI x Supergirl Revenge is Chic


I have the other OPI x Supergirl lacquer that OPI sent my way and this is Revenge is Chic. This is a gold shimmer... a galactic gold.

China Glaze You're A Mean One

Who doesn't love a good deep wine purple shimmer polish? Today I have China Glaze You're a Mean One from the Christmas 2018 "The Grinch" collection. This was a collaboration with the movie that came out that year. This is a gorgeous deep purple with wine/magenta shimmer.

China Glaze Gothic Lolita

Press Sample

My nails haven't been this long in a very long time (lol). I know I'm going to have to shorten them soon since it's getting harder to type and I do use a computer every day between work and home. Today I've pulled China Glaze Gothic Lolita from the Spring 2012 ElectroPop collection. I have to say, 2012 was a great year for me and I remember this collection pretty fondly. This was in the "Lights" 6-piece of the collection and it's a purple polish with a tiny hint of a shimmer flash but you barely see it.

China Glaze December to Remember

Press Sample

So here's an oldie! From the China Glaze 2014 "Twinkle" holiday collection, I have December to Remember, a dark blue polish with pink/purple iridescent shimmer. This was part of a 12 piece collection that also had 5 gift sets and 5 nail art kits. No shot glass in this collection but I do have a couple of them from other years.

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have another new-to-me brand from my Pookie's Polish Swap that happened earlier this month. This is Drunk Fairy Polish Flaminglow, which was an aurora jelly nail polish with a pink base and blue shimmer flash.

China Glaze Custom Kicks


It's time for another 2009 polish from China Glaze. This is Custom Kicks from the Kicks Collection. This was a 12-piece neon collection that paid homage to Sneakerheads everywhere. Custom Kicks was listed as a dusty teal but it really was a beautiful teal with the tiniest of gold shimmer.

I received this next bottle from my Pookie's Polish Swap. I hadn't heard of feral before so I went looking and learned that this is the rebrand of 77 Lacquer. This is Mystery 5, a grey creme with orange shimmer.

China Glaze Short & Sassy


Here's another vampy red shimmer from China Glaze! Today I have Short & Sassy, from the 2009 Retro Diva collection. This is such a pretty color and looks amazing for being 17 years old.

I was so proud that I had cleared all the nail polishes off my desk and then bam, I have 30 more sitting here but that's a whole month of content so, yay me? Today I have China Glaze Cranberry Splash, a ruby red shimmer. This came from the 2012 Holiday Joy collection which also had some beautiful glitters in it.
