Sally Hansen Rose Flush

Press Sample

I have three different Sally Hansen types to start sharing with you. This line is the Insta-Dri matte which says to wear just 1 stroke, 1 coat and it dries in 60 seconds. The brush is very long so you need to watch for drips but I'm putting it to the test! The polishes claim to dry down to a matte metallic finish. This is Rose Flush and is a soft rose with golden shimmer.

China Glaze Combat Blue-TS

Press Sample

I was moving polishes from one drawer to another when I came across this beauty from China Glaze - Combat Blue-TS from the Rebel Fall 2016 collection. This is such a rich blue matte and I could not WAIT to wear it.

Vapid. Spellcaster


As I was putting up some polishes in my Helmer today, I realized that I just have so many goodies to go through - it's a little surreal sometimes. Today I have Vapid. Spellcaster from Hella Holo Customs Facebook Group in 2016. This is a really pretty burgundy linear holo base with green shimmer and shifting flakes. I pulled out my original swatch stick and am happy to see that this polish has held up over time.

cuccio Left Wanting More

Press Sample

Today I have another delicate creme from cuccio's 2019 Coquette Collection. This is Left Wanting More which is listed an an "au natural beige." It was not quite putty color but I was really jiving with it.

Great Lakes Lacquer Love At Grand Prospect


Still going strong with these PolishCon NYC 2017 polishes. Today I have Great Lakes Lacquer Love At Grand Prospect which was the VIP polish from Great Lakes. This is a coral red with microglitter that just gives an extra little shimmer going on.

cuccio Flirt


I'm throwing it back to 2019 this week with the cuccio "Coquette Collection" from Spring 2019. If you've been a long-time reader, you may remember that 2019 was a roller coaster of a year. While I was rearranging my Helmers, I found this 8 piece collection that is flirty, sassy and delicate all at the same time. I'm starting off strong with Flirt, a pure cotton white creme.

Different dimension Enchant-mint


When I originally grabbed Different dimension Enchant-mint, a teal-mint holographic polish with a light blue & purple shimmer, I thought "Nah, not for me." But then I put it on and gosh, I forgot how much I love this color! This was from the Holo Hookup Enchanted Forest August 2017 box.

Girly Bits A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed


This polish is a fun one. This is Girly Bits A Stripper Has Been Sleeping In My Bed and it's chock full of glitter in a clear base.

Different dimension Rejoice


It's so weird how sometimes my blog feels like a time capsule. Google tells me I get traffic but where are y'all? Today I have Different dimension Rejoice, which is a silver linear holographic from the Homespun Holidays 2016 collection.

ILNP Currant


I'm halfway through the Studio Color polish from ILNP - today it's Currant, which is a rich plum purple polish. I was most excited for this polish and it's just as vampy as I thought.

KBShimmer Dust In The Bottle


I'm a sucker for holographic glitter top coat like KBShimmer Dust In The Bottle from the Summer 2015 collection. Mine has seen a little evaporation over the years but it's still pretty and applies easily.

ILNP Caramel


I have another Studio Color polish from ILNP - today it's Caramel, which is a rich orange-brown polish. I wasn't originally feeling this color but it's such a beautiful fall color.

Cupcake Polish Field of Flowers


I was randomly pulling polishes out of a box next to my desk that I had already made swatch sticks for and today is Cupcake Polish Field of Flowers from the Holo Hookup August 2017 box. Originally, this was a medium purple/lavender polish with blue flash but mine has faded quite a bit into more of a pink/lavender.

ILNP Rosewood

Nothing To Disclose

Recently, ILNP released a 4-set of their new Studio Color polishes as their Fall Serenade Bundle. This line is made of highly pigmented solid-colored cremes - perfect for anyone starting out with some staples. This is listed as a soft pink terracotta creme.

Ninja Polish Mind

Press Sample

If you're an OG in the indie world, you may remember Ninja Polish which started off with her own line of polishes but also gained big fame with Floam and Sticks n Stones. Today, I have a beautiful sapphire jewel-toned blue from the Infinity Gems collection named Mind.

KBShimmer What Are You Wading For?


Today I have KBShimmer What Are You Wading For? a denim blue holographic polish from Summer 2015. This color is unique for sure, but how did it wear after 8 years of sitting in my home?

Morgan Taylor Lace 'Em Up


Today's blue is a very vampy and almost leans purple. This is Morgan Taylor Lace 'Em Up, and it's a highly pigmented creme.

Cupcake Polish Let Your Gourd Down


I have another polish from Cupcake Polish's "Fall Fancies" collection. This is Cupcake Polish Let Your Gourd Down, a deep jewel toned sapphire blue and is a linear holographic.

Morgan Taylor West Coast Cool


So why am I in such a blue mood? Honestly, I've always loved blue just as much as I love purple but they really didn't have blue nail polish when I was a kid. I love how blue looks on nails and it helps that my alma mater's is blue so I justify all my purchases. Today I have Morgan Taylor West Coast Cool, which is a neon electric blue. 

KBShimmer Purr-fectly Paw-some


I do love a good polish pun and today I have KBShimmer Purr-fectly Paw-some, a light metallic blue holographic polish from Spring 2016 collection.
