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

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.

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.

Zoya Rio

Press Sample

I'm back in the second half of the Zoya Beachy Brights 3 Summer 2026 collection and today I have Rio, a vivid molten red-orange shimmer. This color is GORGEOUS. It reminds me of the glass fleck polishes that made me fall in love with Zoya originally.

China Glaze Teen Spirit

Press Sample

So, this bottle was impossible to photograph. From the China Glaze 2016 Rebel Collection, this is Teen Spirit, a super deep black-blue with metallic blue shimmer. This whole collection was such a vibe. Lots of darken polishes and then some random cremes.

Here's one more Morgan Taylor polish today. This is Scene Queen, a beige polish with silver microshimmer. This polish is very interesting to me - it's kind of like sand color.
