Yes, I change my polish A LOT 😂

Wore an untried, and had some fun with water decals! Never used them before, they were really easy to use

Slide 1 and 2 : 🎶 🩷I am a Barbie guurrl, in the Barbie woOoOrld🩷 🎶

Slide 3 : May manis.

Slide 4 : June manis. So much maroon😌

Slide 5 : Sooooo, 23 manis in 6 months. Not bad ig?!

Admittedly, I'm not much of a person who experiments with layering polishes often. After two, three days I tend to get bored and just want the dopamine rush of a brand new colour. But I need to make a case for this one, it really does pair well with most of my cool-leaning stash.

And you probably already own it, it's a top seller from that brand!

(brand names spoilers in comments!)

my Fourth of July frankenpolish mani!

Technically a purchase post, but I feel like it fits the spirit of the sub. Please let me know if I need to change title or text to comply.

These polishes are colors and finishes that are dupes for my DISOs for months that I found at one company during a sale instead of purchasing from three different ones, getting sucked into the free shipping trap for multiple companies.

The first shifty shimmery blue to purple would be the ultimate fomo limited time only purchase. I hate that. This one is beautiful and good enough for a color I don’t wear a whole lot of.

The second orangey-red magnetic with blue base (middle finger) is a dupe for a company that uses PVB, requires international shipping and tariffs, and is the only polish from that company I would want. This dupe is GORGEOUS, perfectly matches the blue, wears well, and means I don’t need to purchase the original.

The other two? Alright. They are good to have as the only polishes of those colors in my collection, but I don’t need to buy anything else like it. Certainly not worth any fomo I had on missing out on the original brand’s sale.

Looking forward to wearing the heck out of these.

These are all lacquers from my mom’s collection. She went from getting her nails done in the salon, to doing them at home, and now not at all. I’m not a fan of this brand. It chips, it’s watery, and the tip wear shows on the first day. Ever since I got into indie and boutique polish, my standards have changed.

I feel bad destashing so many, especially while I’m on a no-buy, but it really sucks to spend time on your nails and not have the desired outcome because of the formula.

I appreciate these ladies for being a steady part of my collection, but I think it’s time for me to move on.

Do you have lacquers in your collection that you don’t like/don’t use? What do you do with them? I’m planning on giving them to friends or gifting them into the community.

Never did I think this bingo square would have been used this way when I created the card but, hey, here we are! 😆

It even glows like lights in the pool.

The color is so bright that it makes my fingers feel warm.

Solstice inspired, another fun prompt from this summer bingo! I didn't quite get around to doing them in time for the longest day of the year but hey, it's still midsummer and I am still appreciating the sun. Bold of me to attempt doing the same design on both hands haha, the right is a little messy!

I was going to just wear the neon yellow from my Project Polish, and then I caught sight of a teal flakey in my collection. One coat of the teal flakey over top of the neon yellow, and boom, algae nails. Perfect vibe for this year’s 4th of July.

This is two different red jelly polishes, a deeper red on the bottom, then a layer of red glitter shard topper, then a coat of bright red jelly.

That's three more polishes from my untried drawer. I MAY meet my goal of clearing that drawer by the end of the year at the rate I'm going. 😊

I had to try my hand at algae nails! I love the grungy color and shifty magnetic sparkle.

I love that this shade is a blueish-green. Wish I could be as creative as everyone here
