Just wanted to say i was successfully influenced into buying PFD's polish because of this video. It wasnt even on my wishlist at first, but your swatch was so pretty i had to rethink everything
Wow, all creators mentioned did an outstanding job. I love how Polished for Days and Rogue Lacquer look like opposites of each other, but the one that stands out to me is Kathleen & Co.'s pea rosary.
I'm here to testify that the Garden Path Lacquer polish is absolutely stunning and unique. I do not have any other polish with that formula. Also loved the Clionadh and Paint it Pretty polish this month!!! Beautiful swatches as always.
Thank you, Caitlin, your PPU videos are what I go by and have never been led astray! I appreciate you showing the polishes in different lighting. Kathleen & Co is always pure magic in a bottle (or vial!) and I’m very into browns currently so that’s a must-have. I think Rogue and Sassy Sauce are contenders, I’m trying to adult this year and stick to a budget. Wishing you a happy new year, thank you for 2023!
Every time I make a ppu order, there’s one polish that pushes me over the edge. This month it’s garden path lacquer! They have been KILLING it lately!!
@@ThatSoundsBoring I just put in an order for Glam last night but that doesn’t count yet, right?! 😂 I wanted My Potion…. as a dupe for PFD Shadow on the Moon
@@danamarie0424 According to my girl math it belongs to a different fiscal year and therefore comes out of a different budget. I raced to buy every polish I wanted before the books reset and purse strings tighten for 2024.
I was hoping that you would be swatching the Paint It Pretty Polish! It is absolutely gorgeous. Also, the Garden Path laquer and Kathleen and Co have been added to my wishlist! 😂 Thank you for the swatches! ❤
I got spur of the moment based on your swatches. I’m not a huge blue wearer. But I really want to try wearing it in one coat, I love how your first coat looks!
I just received Blessed with Beauty and Rage (GardenPath Lacquer). It’s deep and mysterious and all kinds of shifty, it’s already a fave. Hydrangea (Alchemy Lacquer) was a surprise because I’ve never had a thermal polish but even if it didn’t change color I’d love it. It’s a beautiful almost periwinkle sparkle in its neutral state, a soft blue when warm and the hot pink sparkle really pops when cold. I’m surprised no one chose to review this one because it is gorgeous. Anyway, love your videos ❤️
I was paring down my wishlist (unsuccessfully) this morning. Based on your video I think the Cuticula and Bluebird are similar enough that I don't need both, so I removed one from my list. Tough choice between the two, though, and I won't say which I left on the list as they are both excellent brands.
If there was anything and I had money that for some reason needed burning up on myself, the Paint it Pretty or PfD might be in my cart; otherwise, to be honest, I was pretty disappointed by this month's offerings watching them come up in the PPU group, and I watched your review today sorta hoping to be unexpectedly blown away by one or some. GREAT review, Caitlin, great swatches - for all the polishes, as always! But they're just not my type this month. Guess I'll be looking forward to the next one! Thanks for another great swatch video for PPU!
Haha , I has planned to only get 3 but you bumped my list up to 5 😂 I was originally going to get bluebird and happy you swatched it because this solidified that choice! I’m disappointed no one did a spider lily inspo, that I can find. One of my favorite flowers and not only is it deadly it represents dark things 😂 I would make one based on that if I were a creator haha
Omg I MUST have that Cuticula polish 😭 I do not need it. I must have it. I do not need it. I must have it. I do not need it. I must have it. Can you hear my echo? 😂
The Garden Path Lacquer polish is definitely on my list. It will be a challenge to trim down my order to a reasonable size (I try to aim for 3), because there are so many tempting polishes this month.
Let me start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Wish you all the best Caitlin! I knew from spoilers that I am in trouble this month! I have 4 as MUST haves! Cuticula, PIP, GPL, Braux....and so many that i love and keep adding more.....Fantastic month for polishes!
My favorite would definitely be the Cuticula because it looks almost metallic which I’m loving lately. On another note my sister has that corpse plant she got it from my mom’s cousin who recently passed. He had a couple and donated one to our Belle Isle Conservatory in Detroit. They grow very large 8-12 ft. tall and have one big flower which does stink. During the winter you have to keep it warm and make sure there are flies to help pollinate it. He was lucky and his bloom every year. Have a Happy New Year and I really enjoy your videos. 🎆🎇
Oh I really like how Bluebird’s I’m Fonda Your Flora looks like in natural lighting. Omg! Clionadh Cosmetics Sundew (😮💨) Polished for Days Angel Wings (😮💨😮💨), Kathleen & Co. Rosary Pea and Rogue Lacquer Bleeding Hearts (😮💨 ) are my favorites. Seeing the Cuticula at the end is making me now really like it! Thank you for your beautiful swatches💃🏿 Happy New Year🎊
Hi!! So sorry to comment on an unrelated video, but I’ve been waiting to see if you had a video for the most recent BKL collection, is there one coming before the launch?? I LOVE the way your swatches show colors in studio lighting plus your tour around your house to show natural shifts
Sorry BKL cut down on their swatchers so I haven’t gotten their latest release. If you want to email them and let them know you rely on my swatches that might help nudge them to send to me in future so I can make videos. I do love showing off their polishes.
I am in trouble…. BIG trouble this month. It‘s been a hot minute since I last had so many polishes on my wishlist. kathleen & Co, Pattie Lopes, Danny Viana, KBShimmer are may must haves but so many more tempt me this month. Thank you for all the amazing, inspiring videos in 2023 and a Happy New Year to you too 💖
So pretty sure the Kathleen and co is breaking my no buy and I saw someone do the swamp gloss as a topper and omg. But you have me convinced I may need the red eyed lacquer and maybe the cuticula 😅
Your swatches are always so very gorgeous! Always helps me decide what to get! Plus I just adore your natural nail shape, it’s my favorite 😍 I just have one question since I’m not a native English speaker: what’s the meaning of cap? I always read something about caps or uncapped, does that mean unlimited? Anyways thank you for your work 🎉
Oh yes! It means that there’s a limit (cap) on the number of polishes available. They use cap in the same like a lid on a jar to imply a limit on how many are available for purchase.
Sorry I don't have that Polished for Days to compare. Based on pictures, the PFD has stronger shifts and the Kathleen is much more brown with subtler shifts.
It looks like your poor knuckle gets bonked while you’re showing off the lovely bluebird lacquer polish 😢 That polish has been added to my wishlist, I don’t have anything like it! The polished for days reminds me of a polish I’ve seen by them, do you have anything similar to compare? Also strangely into the rogue lacquer pastel, and obviously both pinks 🔥 I always look forward to your lovely swatches, thank you for all the work I’m sure you put into it!
Thank you as always for the super detailed beautiful swatches. I feel like GPL has just been killing it lately with their PPU polishes, very tempted to get that one for my LDR loving gf. I really love how the makers interpreted the theme this month, so much amazing colour and finish variation!
A few thermals I've purchased from 2 brands ended up getting thick and gloopy within a couple times of using them but I've never had that happen with regular polishes. Is that a thing that thermals are known for? Getting thick quickly?
Also, how long do you wait before applying Cuticula's quick dry top coat? Is it like Seche Vite where you apply it to wet polish? How long does it take to dry?
@@Harlow_Khmer I apply the Cuticula QDTC when the polish is dry to the touch, then wait about 10 minutes (even if it dries in under a minute, I like to be on the safe side; bumping the nails on surfaces will cause dents for awhile, so try to avoid that).
Hmm.. that’s not been my experience. I know they can stop transitioning but I’ve tried many thermals from many brands and they don’t go goopy from my experience. And I apply Cuticula after the polish isn’t wet anymore. Maybe 2-3 minutes
I had no clue what Polish Pickup or PPU meant when I came across a PPU insta and I’m pretty sure these polishes was on that Instagram account. So I think I know now what it is…indie Polish brands collaborating and coming up with a theme that’s limited addition Polish that you can only get for a few days or so!? Right!? Ofc I loved both the pinks, but they’re all beautiful polishes 💜💅🏻🩷
Caitlin help me NOT buy polished for days. Tell me there’s other similar polishes out there. I bet I own something similar 😭😭😭😭 this month is going to TEST MEEEE 🥲
Love the Kathleen and Garden Path
For a theme that I wasn’t super pumped about, my wishlist continues to grow! Beautiful swatches!! Thank you for sharing!! ❤
We have a few corpse flowers in Edmonton, and they smell like dirty diapers when they bloom lolol. But it’s definitely fun to go see!
Haha ewwww
Just wanted to say i was successfully influenced into buying PFD's polish because of this video.
It wasnt even on my wishlist at first, but your swatch was so pretty i had to rethink everything
Happy New Year Caitlin! 🥳🍾🥰
That Paint it pretty looks phenomenal & the addition of holo flakes will get me every time 😂
Thank you!! I hope 2024 is a wonderful year for you! And our nails!
Wow, all creators mentioned did an outstanding job. I love how Polished for Days and Rogue Lacquer look like opposites of each other, but the one that stands out to me is Kathleen & Co.'s pea rosary.
i love the cuticula shimmer but wish it either had good holo or none at all
I'm here to testify that the Garden Path Lacquer polish is absolutely stunning and unique. I do not have any other polish with that formula. Also loved the Clionadh and Paint it Pretty polish this month!!! Beautiful swatches as always.

Thank you!
I’m only picking one for my low-buy. It will probably be Kathleen & Co. All these gorgeous polishes makes a low-buy tough. Thanks Caitlin!
The Garden Path release is too beautiful for words 😶
Every time I make a ppu order, there’s one polish that pushes me over the edge. This month it’s garden path lacquer! They have been KILLING it lately!!
Agree!!
Kathleen & Co so far is my only must have (thankfully 😂) I’m trying to do a low buy for 2024
Same and same, but we shall see. Good luck!

Tough choice between the two, though, and I won't say which I left on the list as they are both excellent brands.
Thank you. This was strangely satisfying.
Once again, you've made me add polishes to my wishlist that I wasn't even considering!

Ooh sounds cool!
Thank you Caitlin! Happy 2024!!! PPU is here heralding in the new year. I love the theme. Cuticula particularly. ❤🎉
Happy new year!! 🥳
Omg I MUST have that Cuticula polish 😭 I do not need it. I must have it. I do not need it. I must have it. I do not need it. I must have it. Can you hear my echo? 😂
Hahah
Lol😊
There's one I said that to, too. Sigh.
I’m definitely saying the same thing, too.
I do not need it, but I must have it. 🤣
I ordered mine today
Sundew looks very close to the Carnivorous Sundew plant. It's cool to see a literal interpretation of the plant
That paint it pretty ❤❤❤
Bluebird, Glisten & Glow and Cuticula are my faves!!!
The Garden Path Lacquer polish is definitely on my list. It will be a challenge to trim down my order to a reasonable size (I try to aim for 3), because there are so many tempting polishes this month.
You can do it!

Thank you!! And yes this is a fantastic month for sure.
The two pinks are A+
Definitely getting Rouge Lacquer. I absolutely love that one! I'm loving Cuticula too. So many gorgeous selections. ❤
I want them all they are all beautiful 💅😍 thanks for the swatches 😊
You’re welcome 😊

I am in trouble…. BIG trouble this month. It‘s been a hot minute since I last had so many polishes on my wishlist. kathleen & Co, Pattie Lopes, Danny Viana, KBShimmer are may must haves but so many more tempt me this month. Thank you for all the amazing, inspiring videos in 2023 and a Happy New Year to you too 💖
Happy New Year!
Okay I want them all
I’m very excited about the Kathleen & Co, it was going to be my only purchase but the Polished for Days 😭. I might just need another pink!
So pretty sure the Kathleen and co is breaking my no buy and I saw someone do the swamp gloss as a topper and omg. But you have me convinced I may need the red eyed lacquer and maybe the cuticula 😅
There are so many I want!! I love that the Garden Path one is inspired by a Lana song 💕
Your swatches are always so very gorgeous! Always helps me decide what to get! Plus I just adore your natural nail shape, it’s my favorite 😍 I just have one question since I’m not a native English speaker: what’s the meaning of cap?

I'm so curious what the rogue lacquer shade looks like compared to say, the thorneapple from great lakes...
The rogue is much lighter green and more opaque.
@@CaitlinSwatches ok thank you! I'm trying to avoid buying so many duplicates of polishes I have... Looking for interesting and unique moving forward!
Do you know how Kathleen & Co., Rosary Pea compares to Polished For Days, Raspberry Chocolate a polish from last year?
Sorry I don't have that Polished for Days to compare. Based on pictures, the PFD has stronger shifts and the Kathleen is much more brown with subtler shifts.
Where can I find a swatch of the Lucky 13 thermal being offered?
Sorry I don’t know. The website should have photos
It looks like your poor knuckle gets bonked while you’re showing off the lovely bluebird lacquer polish 😢
That polish has been added to my wishlist, I don’t have anything like it! The polished for days reminds me of a polish I’ve seen by them, do you have anything similar to compare?
Also strangely into the rogue lacquer pastel, and obviously both pinks 🔥
I always look forward to your lovely swatches, thank you for all the work I’m sure you put into it!
Swatcher injuries lol. The Pfd reminded me of BKL an Act of Wrath but they’re really not that close. The shimmer and base are different
Thank you as always for the super detailed beautiful swatches. I feel like GPL has just been killing it lately with their PPU polishes, very tempted to get that one for my LDR loving gf. I really love how the makers interpreted the theme this month, so much amazing colour and finish variation!
I agree about GPL! And that would be a lovely gift.

So, I am watching your swatches while wearing last months red eye lacquer, and they are looking oddly similar.....
Definitely not! I have both and they’re really not close at all
🎉🎉🎉

Hmmmm the closest is BKL An Act of Wrath but this is more bubblegumy than the BKL which is more magenta.
