Thank you. This has always been my favorite vibe for polishes; anything that reminds me of soap bubbles, dragonfly and butterfly wings, opals, moonstones and labradorite, beetle carapaces, peacock feathers, dandelion fluff and starlight, art glass, even oil slicks. Love that you put so many into one video, it is great to have a reference to go back to!
Bee’s Knees has a bunch of Doomicorn siblings, and I am on a mission to get them all!!! It’s my favorite brand - their formula is amazing and their colors are so interesting!
I always knew she did that but it’s so funny to me that I only JUST realized mine were all siblings lol 🤣🤣 she does have absolutely beautiful polishes though!! I was eyeing I Forgot to Breathe from the last release but figured I had something similar 🙈
@@PolishedYogi I had a similar polish to that, so I skipped it, too! I love the one for PPU this month, but it’s a Doomicorn sibling with a chocolatey brown base, very swamp core, which I love! I do love fairy vibes, but I think in my heart, I’m a bog witch… 😂😂😂
A vampy/goth collection video would be awesome! Ik it’s not entirely your vibe, but you have an amazing collection and I’m so curious! 😅 Love your videos! They’re great for referencing and buying! 🫶
i definitely would love to do that!! even though yeah it might be a shorter video haha i still do love me some dark and vampy colors 😍 so glad you enjoyed these though 🤗 would love to know if any made it to your wishlist!
100% recommend checking out Lush from PolishedForDays from their recent collection, it's insanely glowing, there is also a green and blue in that collection! Maybe a Cottage/Garden Core video would fit into spring? Love the Mermaid Core idea (then Vampire Core for spooky season?) If you're into Bridgerton, I feel like you could do a whole thing on nail polishes you think fit with Bridgerton characters.
I was actually eyeing Blossom from that launch!! Lush looks so magical too but I feel it might be too similar to a Phoenix polish I have 🙈 thankfully everything’s sold out atm so I still have time to talk myself out of it LOL but we’ll see 😝 and omg I loveee a cottage-core theme so much!! I haven’t watched Bridgerton but I also love the idea of polishes that fit characters!! Will def have to keep that in mind and see if I can binge the show lol 👀 thank you for these amazing ideas!!
BKL’s Poisoned Fairy Fruit glows intensely with silver holo and blue shimmer. Starrily Fairy Floss and Fairy Fountain. Cadillacquer’s Oxygen and Cradle of Echos lean two different shades of pale green. Night Owl Lacquer’s April PPU option of Light Dragon. Fancy Gloss Fairy Wings has a white base with iridescent flakes and a copper/red/green shimmer. Cuticula’s Overcast or Ethereal. Sassy Sauce Tink’s Wings, Shimmy Shake or Neato Mojito. BKL and Wildflower probably have more but nothing currently available.
omg yes i’ve seen and loved swatches of Poisoned Fairy Fruit!! ugh its mesmerizing and i love the name too hehe. omg i wasn’t familiar with those Starrily shades, they’re sooo beautiful! 🤩 such a shame they’re sold out though. those 2 Cadillacquer shades are absolutely stunning too, i especially love Cradle of Echos 😍 and i love the others you shared too!! ugh shimmers are just so so beautiful and magical!
If we're suggesting ethereal looking polishes.......Ethereal Lacquer is one to check out for this type of vibe, the name is a litereal representation of the types of colors Megan dreams up! I have so many dreamy glowy fairycore type polishes by them. Please consider checking her catalog out sometime!
i literally only just got in my first Ethereal the day this went up lol! i definitely do think they make super beautiful polishes, i just don’t love the fomo surrounding the launches 🙈 but i def will still keep an eye for them bc there’s some shades i regret not getting!
YES! This is my vibe --- give me all the glowy ethereal fairy iridescent shifty shimmers! ✨✨🧚🏽♀🧚🏽♀ Was waiting for this video from you my fellow ethereal shimmering sister ☺and you didn't disappoint with your beautiful picks! You have a few I own and love, but so glad you showed Cirque's Fairy Floss. I find that one underrated. One of my fave mani's is Fairy Floss w/ a Jordana glitter topper called...Fairy Dust! lol Double the fairy and sparkle fun. LynBDesigns has some really great ethereal fairy shades, as do Polished for Days. I also have my eye on Lurid Lacquer. They didn't come to play w/ their glowy and shimmery polishes!
hehe so glad you loved these & were not disappointed!! 🧚♀️🧚♂️🧚✨✨ and i couldnt agree more about Fairy Floss!! it’s one i almost forgot i had and was soo happy i remembered to include it! omg that mani combo sounds stunninggg esp for the double Fairy name!! 🤩✨ i really should look at LynB’s website again, i only picked up 2 a month or so ago but a lot of their shades did catch my eye! 👀 i hope you’re able to try/get into some Lurid, their shimmers are 😮💨😮💨😮💨
I'm a fairy core girlie when it comes to my polish choices and I LOVE all of your picks! I have the Mooncat and Cirque polishes but now you've gotten me eager to pick up the other ones you mentioned in this video! Tfs! 🧚🏼♀️ 🧚♂️ 🧚💗
Yayyy I love to hear that!! I’m sure no one was surprised by the mooncat & cirque shades hehe but so glad you were interested in some of the others I shared!! 😍🧚🏼♀️✨
Ahhh, these are so pretty, almost every single one. I think Ethereal’s Ether Dragon is one of my favorites in this vein, there’s a few others from them that also qualify and are so pretty. And, yes, spring is when I want to wear these types of polishes. I’m so jealous you got that Lurid shade, I missed my reminder of when her shop opened and missed most of what I wanted. Oh, I forgot Great Lakes Lacquer’s Unicorn Poop, Here Fishy, Fishy, Celestial Obsessed & The Village Chief. All of those are so shifty, sparkly & ethereal.
thank you soo much! gahh Ether Dragon is one i regret skipping!! i love every swatch of it that I see 😫 but aww i do hope you’re able to pick up Nettle & Briar when she restocks in April! I’m pretty sure it’ll be back at least, its def a super popular shade so it would be weird to not make some more stock of it! and OMG i’m kicking myself for forgetting GLL The Village Chief 🫠 that one is sooo magical! how would you say Unicorn Poop compares to it, is it just that the shimmer more blue instead of green or is there a diff in the base color too? the other two look soo magical too! appreciate you sharing those 🤩✨
@@PolishedYogi I went and checked, Mariah says they have the same shimmer. The base for UP is somewhere between a muted orchid and a muted lilac. It’s super pretty.
Getting ready to try Flora and Up Above for the first time. I’ll try Flora alone but I saw a reel by Livwithbiv showing Flora over Calcite so will try that combo too. Have and love Calla Lily. Beautiful polishes! It’s definitely fairy season.
so exciting to hear you’ll be trying those for the first time !! oooo Flora over Calcite sounds so pretty 🤩 i’m glad you love Calla Lily and the rest of my picks hehe 🧚♀️🌿✨
Oh what a wonderful video! I love this type of polish! I do have Midsummer and Flora and love them so much... will put Calla Lily and Pixie Hallow in my buy lists.
I’m currently wearing Moonrise. It’s a beautiful ethereal, Spring-y color with a great formula. I slapped it on my nails (there was no finesse as I was in a hurry) and went to dinner last night with absolutely no fuss.
Love this series! You HAVE to try the new Polished For Days in the shade Lush. It’s the most magical shimmer ever! Would love to see balletcore or dark academia in this series ❤
it was on my radar but i think its a little toooo similar to a Phoenix polish i have 🙈 but it really is so stunning and glowy 🤩 and ooh i love those!! i’ll have to brainstorm for them 👀 tysm for the recs!!
You looked so lovely and dainty.💕 I have and looove MC Ghosts of Hecate, Curse of Calypso, A Midsummer’s Dream!! I have to get Moonfairy, Flight of the Monarchs (😮💨😮💨😮💨), Pixiestick (😮💨😮💨) Moonrise (😮💨😮💨) and Sabretooth Olive Ave Calla Lilly, (😮💨) Flora (😮💨😮💨) ILNP Pixie Party (😮💨😮💨-lets both be pixies at this party🥹, Fairy Dust Cirque Pixie Holo (😮💨), Nocturne (😮💨😮💨), Fairy Floss (😮💨😮💨😮💨), Lurid Lacquer Nettle & Briar (😮💨😮💨), Bees Knees Little Bird(😮💨😮💨) -I have and Love this!

If remember correctly you were at first not sure. Lumen Glass Frog (😮💨😮💨😮💨) Cirque Crystal Tokyo (😮💨😮💨) … are my favorites of this collection. I loved this video so much!! I saved it because I need to refer to it on June 1 for my shopping spree💃🏿💃🏿 Thank you for the gorgeous swatches!
thank you sooo much for such a sweet comment friend! 🥹🥹🥰🤗 hehe i cannot wait until you update me on your June haul! there’s soo many that you love and i do hope you can get them all, but i know thats also so expensive lol 🙈 and yay for also having BKL’s Little Bird, it really is soo dainty and magical! you’re going to love wearing it 🤩🤍✨
Yesss I love these kinds of shades too! Delicate shimmers are so dainty and never get old. Mooncat Moonfairy in particular really caught my eye. I’m excited for this series!
Ugh…I have a lot of these polishes and I was trying to decide between 3-4 of them for a nice spring mani, and now you’ve added another half dozen or so that I forgot about, and deciding among them all will be so hard!
i just placed my first orders from mooncat and ilnp this month and so many of them made it into this video! 😅 i’ve been wanting to pick up a curse of calypso, curiosity’s prey, moonrise, possibly winds of fate. in some photos i love it, in others it so looks dark
Omg yay!! That’s so exciting 😁 ohh I also do love Winds of Fate, I think I shared a swatch of that in my fav shimmers video (idr if it was the first or second but it would be in the description) - from what I remember it wasn’t dark on me at all! I remember them having issues with Mercurys Tears like some peoples bottles looked dark/muddy, so I wonder if that’s what happened with WoF too?
@@PolishedYogiI just tried ghosts of hecate yesterday for the first time and the formula was so thick and my nails bubbled up. Are mooncats polishes typically on the thicker side?
@ just found your channel and I’ve gotten so many great recommendations from you. Loving ilnp and mooncat. Do you have a good recommendation for a gel nail system?
Such cute polishes! I’m wearing Mooncats Sabertooth right now! It has some great staying power! I refreshed it (added a coat) last night, but it lasted almost a good week and that’s with me gardening, without gloves at times! 🤩 ❤
thank youu!! 🥰 omg yeah i’ve seen mooncat polishes last for weeks on people! it's super impressive, i’m glad you’ve been having a great experience wearing Sabertooth 🤩🩵✨
Didn't watch fully yet cus it's the anniversary of my partner and I, so I'm commenting to say that ever since you posted that recent skittle, I look forward to wearing the ethereal shades! I only have Mooncat's Midsummer's Dream out of your list, but nonetheless, hoping to find shades similar to the ones you've listed!
@@PolishedYogi I really enjoyed the shimmery formulas, especially the sheer whites, pinks, and purple toned ones! I started out this magical spring vibe with KBShimmer's Frequent Flyer. ☺ I agree with the magical feels with the very cellophane looking ones!
One of my latest acquisitions was BKL Make Your Brother Proud, a gorgeous shade of ice with magical blue shimmer, quite close to Bulba from PPU. Highly recommend!
that one is sooo pretty!! can def see the Boolba silmilarity, ugh i still debate whether i regret skipping it or not 🙈 maybe if i catch the BKL during a restock i’ll pick it up.. maybe 😝
these are so beautiful!! several are on my wishlist but i don't have any yet 😭 i would love to see you do a video on goth-ier, vampier shades, maybe in the fall? thanks for another great video!
so glad you loved my picks and that several are on your wishlist! i hope you’ll be able to add some of them to your collection soon enough 🥹🧚♀️✨ and yess i absolutely love that idea for fall!! 😍 tysm for watching 🤗💗
All of your picks are gorgeous!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I vote a big yess on the mermaid core and maybe dark academia/ light academia and coquette aesthetics? I think you might have very good picks in all of those! 😊 I’m so happy I own Curse of Calipso and I just got Chibi Chibi yesterday!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
aw thank you! 😁 oh those are soo fun, i’m definitely familiar with those aesthetics but never really thought of them for nail polishes, so i’ll have to brainstorm hehe. but YAY for having Curse of Calypso and getting Chibi Chibi too!! they’re magical 🤩🤩🤩
I NEED Cirque Pixie Holo the most of any that I saw!! I can't believe I don't yet have Mooncat Ghosts of Hecate! I think it's the white base, which I'm not drawn to, but GofH might be my first white base polish because I love that blue shift! I wish Noodles Misty Meadows and Nailed It Star Chaser were still around ... they look gorgeous! I did discover that Star Chaser and Nailed It! products was/still are sold through a collective called "Sparkle and Shine," similar to PPU and HHC. I might also need Cirque Crystal Tokyo and Cirque Fairy Floss! That's three Cirque polishes, so I think an order is imminent!
oo i hope you’re able to pick up Pixie Holo soon!! 😁 so glad you loved that one & the other two Cirques, i can’t recommend those enough, but omg Ghosts of Hecate is sooo otherworldly!! obviously i’m biased bc i love it and would hope you do too lol. and ugh i knoww, it really is sad how limited some indie releases can be 😔 i know we’ve seen the concept from cirque and mooncat before, where they’ve brought back popular shades from years ago; i would LOVE to see more brands do that!! just bring back a collection every few years lol it seems like it would be a win all around! but YES the Nailed It was from Sparkle & Shine! it was my first time hearing about it so i didn’t remember but honestly it was probably on one of the labels 🙈
So glad you enjoyed!! And ahh I know, but I think she’s released a few others pretty similar since then- though they might have also been for PPU 🤔 while it’s not exactly the same maybe you can check out Champ from Alchemy Lacquers!
@@PolishedYogi I did buy a few Lumen this year, Morpho Glow and Sirens Storm, Glasswing Butterfly Glass Fawn. Also, found some of the glass mysteries second hand. They’re all amazing, but I still want glass frog and glass jellyfish. I just bought two ppu overpours in their last sale hoping to get jellyfish, but was sadly unlucky in my pursuit. I’m waiting on a possible trade, otherwise I’ll see when they do ppu rewind. I will check out your recommendation. Thanks!
Love this video! I'm a shimmers kinda gal. Could you pls do a video on dupes for Olive ave flora or cirque colors moonstone. Shimmers that have a white/pink/or lavender base with blue green purple shimmer. I'd love to see you compare these types of shades side by side. ❤❤❤
so glad you love these too! and ooh that would be so interesting, i was planning on including those 2 and others in a Favorite Whites video since i haven’t done one, and a lot of my whites are shimmery lol so be on the lookout for that! 🤍
So many great choices here! I’m currently stuck on Lurid. After wearing Lake Superior Shenanigans (Great Lakes Lacquer) for my wedding last weekend, I had to get one of the Lurid’s on my nails (The Wisdom of Your Armor)..
omg congratulations Deborah!! 💞💞 what a beautiful wedding mani color 😍🥰🤍 but ugh yes Lurid’s shimmers have been sooo beautiful!! i’m planning to pick up a few more next weekend 🙈 i don’t have The Wisdom of Your Armor but that one is stunning!!
This was so much fun! Thank you! I have quite a few of these. I just placed an order for cirque to pick up more shimmergraphics for a skittle and upset that i missed pixie holo. Next order! Lol
so glad you enjoyed my picks!! and oh noo for missing Pixie Holo, but also yay for getting some more shimmergraphics bc they’re stunning, which ones did you get?!
sorry, i just don’t have that many mainstream polishes to begin with, and most of them are creams! China Glaze did come out with a collection recently that has some shimmers, you might like those :)
YES!!!! You said you had a video like this in mind. So glad it’s finally here. I’m definitely a fairy core kinda of girl. 🦋 May I ask if we can go to the Pixie Party together??? 😊🧚 I suggest to use Curse of Calypso. What else could we pick? I knew your will include our beloved Cursed of Calypso. It is my favorite shade of my whole collection. ✨
hehe i’m so glad you loved this!! 🥰🥰🫶🏼 and omg absolutelyyy we can go to the pixie party together hehe! i love a matching Curse of Calyspo mani but i’d also want to wear a little pink, so maybe i’ll add in High Fructose too hehe 💖
@@PolishedYogi I feel so sad I could grabbed High Fructuse. I was in a low budget. Next time I wear Cursed of Calypso I’ll ask you if we can team up ☺️ I’m using Fairy Dust from ILNP and I’m in love with this one! One of my tops now.
I know you have it but I think Fields of Elysium by Mooncat would be a great ethereal green. It might be too dusty and muted to be fairycore though. Mooncat's Plankton also gives me fairycore vibes. Lyn B Design's Cat's Paw and Beauty Lives in Every Soul too. I am having FOMO for the Pheonix Chibi Chibi... I almost got it but last minute decided not to! I did pick up the new Rogue Lacquers Pride and Prejudice as a shimmery dupe. I tried to find the link for it but I think it's sold out :(
i can def see Fields of Elysium working too! but i did sideline it thinking it would be even more fitting for a cottagecore themed video i’m planning 😁 but ohh the others you mentioned are super pretty too! 🤩 and aw i’m sorry you regret skipping Chibi Chibi! i actually ordered that Rogue collection too and am waiting for it to come in to do a comparison!! i think they’re gonna be really similar honestly, i think Rogue was only open for a pre-order but i would hope they can restock it at some point for anyone else who missed out!
Mermaidcore is a good idea. What if you did a beetles and dragonfly one? Butterflies could be another. Big wild animals might be another one elephant, rhino, lion, tiger, leopard, giraffe (rogue’s aim high made me think of this!), bears, etc. You’re so talented that you could add some nail art ideas.
LOVE this aesthetic 😆 this is my OG aesthetic. i will be 100% sheer shimmery ethereal vibes until the day i die HAHA. i started off wearing dollar-store sparse glitter / iridescent toppers on my bare nails like 20 yrs ago and i still do it ☺️ i just have a lil more budget now going into my 30s 😂 but the taste never changed 😈 OH AND witchcore please for Halloween 😆 maybe combined with smth like light/dark/emo witch to avoid rehashing Halloween faves? i put on one coat of Mooncat's Wish I Hadn't Cried over one coat of Cirque's Linen like 2 wks ago and im refusing to take it off 😂 it's grown out now but idc 😗 i grabbed a backup bottle of Wish I Hadn't Cried 🙈 along with the LE dark blue flakie now that i realised it is just a multichrome flakie and not a black fleck. We shall see if i like it when it comes 😂 Loving the hair!!
yesss truly one of the best aesthetics imo!! 😌🧚♂️✨ and HAHAH i love that you’re true to your roots!! 😝 oooh i love witchcore!! i was already thinking of like vampy shades in general so i think i can def combine those 👀 and omg you were still wearing your bday mani!! that’s so impressive lol i don’t blame you for just letting it completely grow out 🤣 so glad you grabbed a backup of WIHC before it was gone!! i didn’t get the new LE blue flake but can’t wait to hear what you think of it!! 🤩💙✨
Unpopular opinion: but Flight of the monarch has to be my least favorite polish 🫣 it looks UGLY on my skintone under low light. Literally like highlighter orange when the purple tones disappear
Oh noo that’s sad to hear!! I know that one is overhyped too but I do love that one 🥺 have you tried Take Me To Your Leader? It’s kind of similar as far as the purple base with orange shimmer but it’s way less intense! Like other shimmer polishes for example where you see more of the base color
Thank you. This has always been my favorite vibe for polishes; anything that reminds me of soap bubbles, dragonfly and butterfly wings, opals, moonstones and labradorite, beetle carapaces, peacock feathers, dandelion fluff and starlight, art glass, even oil slicks. Love that you put so many into one video, it is great to have a reference to go back to!
Yess I love your descriptions too!! Especially the soap bubbles 🥹🫧 I’m so glad you and others enjoyed these!
Yes to Mermaidcore! Also, please do a video on your favorite neons or brights, and favorite pastels, if you have not already. ❤
so glad you’re excited for mermaidcore favs!! and ohh those are great ideas! 👀
I don't think I could ever own enough of this vibe of polish. They're just so beautiful is the thing. 😍
saaame!! always such a sucker for magical iridescent shimmers 🥹🤩✨
Relieved to see that I own pretty much every shade of Mooncat you showed! 😅These are all so gorgeous! Thank you for the video! ❤

thank you sooo much for such a sweet comment friend! 🥹🥹🥰🤗 hehe i cannot wait until you update me on your June haul! there’s soo many that you love and i do hope you can get them all, but i know thats also so expensive lol 🙈 and yay for also having BKL’s Little Bird, it really is soo dainty and magical! you’re going to love wearing it 🤩🤍✨
Yesss I love these kinds of shades too! Delicate shimmers are so dainty and never get old. Mooncat Moonfairy in particular really caught my eye. I’m excited for this series!
yayy thank you Rae!!
So nice. I am loving all of this y2k throwback.
💖💖💖💖
Thanks Stefanie so much, for this lovely video. You have helped me choose some new polishes, and I really appreciate your hard work.
aw thank you for such a sweet comment!! 🥰 i’m so glad you enjoyed these 💗
Moonfairy matte is a total vibe
oooo i can see that!!
These are all unbelievably gorgeous!
i’m so glad you love these!! 😄
Ugh…I have a lot of these polishes and I was trying to decide between 3-4 of them for a nice spring mani, and now you’ve added another half dozen or so that I forgot about, and deciding among them all will be so hard!
Hahah I’m so sorry for making it harder 🙈🙈 just wear them as skittles!! Or maybe you can try to gradient with a few of them??
i just placed my first orders from mooncat and ilnp this month and so many of them made it into this video! 😅 i’ve been wanting to pick up a curse of calypso, curiosity’s prey, moonrise, possibly winds of fate. in some photos i love it, in others it so looks dark
Omg yay!! That’s so exciting 😁 ohh I also do love Winds of Fate, I think I shared a swatch of that in my fav shimmers video (idr if it was the first or second but it would be in the description) - from what I remember it wasn’t dark on me at all! I remember them having issues with Mercurys Tears like some peoples bottles looked dark/muddy, so I wonder if that’s what happened with WoF too?
@@PolishedYogiI just tried ghosts of hecate yesterday for the first time and the formula was so thick and my nails bubbled up. Are mooncats polishes typically on the thicker side?
YES these are my favorite type of polishes 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
so glad you love these magical polishes too! 🤩✨🧚♀️🌿🌸
This type of nail polishes is by far my most favorite one and glass frog my ultimate favorite nail polish! Thanks for this beautiful selection.
Thank you soo much!! So glad you loved these 🥰
Thank you for doing this I’m obsessed!!!
I'm so glad you loved it!! 😄
@ just found your channel and I’ve gotten so many great recommendations from you. Loving ilnp and mooncat. Do you have a good recommendation for a gel nail system?
Such cute polishes! I’m wearing Mooncats Sabertooth right now! It has some great staying power! I refreshed it (added a coat) last night, but it lasted almost a good week and that’s with me gardening, without gloves at times! 🤩 ❤
thank youu!! 🥰 omg yeah i’ve seen mooncat polishes last for weeks on people! it's super impressive, i’m glad you’ve been having a great experience wearing Sabertooth 🤩🩵✨
Didn't watch fully yet cus it's the anniversary of my partner and I, so I'm commenting to say that ever since you posted that recent skittle, I look forward to wearing the ethereal shades! I only have Mooncat's Midsummer's Dream out of your list, but nonetheless, hoping to find shades similar to the ones you've listed!
Aw happy anniversary!!! 🤗🤗💞💞 I hope you’ll enjoy all my picks once you get to watch, definitely share any you add to your wishlist too!!
@@PolishedYogi I really enjoyed the shimmery formulas, especially the sheer whites, pinks, and purple toned ones! I started out this magical spring vibe with KBShimmer's Frequent Flyer. ☺ I agree with the magical feels with the very cellophane looking ones!
One of my latest acquisitions was BKL Make Your Brother Proud, a gorgeous shade of ice with magical blue shimmer, quite close to Bulba from PPU. Highly recommend!
that one is sooo pretty!! can def see the Boolba silmilarity, ugh i still debate whether i regret skipping it or not 🙈 maybe if i catch the BKL during a restock i’ll pick it up.. maybe 😝
these are so beautiful!! several are on my wishlist but i don't have any yet 😭 i would love to see you do a video on goth-ier, vampier shades, maybe in the fall? thanks for another great video!
so glad you loved my picks and that several are on your wishlist! i hope you’ll be able to add some of them to your collection soon enough 🥹🧚♀️✨ and yess i absolutely love that idea for fall!! 😍 tysm for watching 🤗💗
All of your picks are gorgeous!!!! ❤❤❤❤ I vote a big yess on the mermaid core and maybe dark academia/ light academia and coquette aesthetics? I think you might have very good picks in all of those! 😊 I’m so happy I own Curse of Calipso and I just got Chibi Chibi yesterday!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
aw thank you! 😁 oh those are soo fun, i’m definitely familiar with those aesthetics but never really thought of them for nail polishes, so i’ll have to brainstorm hehe. but YAY for having Curse of Calypso and getting Chibi Chibi too!! they’re magical 🤩🤩🤩
I NEED Cirque Pixie Holo the most of any that I saw!!
I can't believe I don't yet have Mooncat Ghosts of Hecate! I think it's the white base, which I'm not drawn to, but GofH might be my first white base polish because I love that blue shift!
I wish Noodles Misty Meadows and Nailed It Star Chaser were still around ... they look gorgeous! I did discover that Star Chaser and Nailed It! products was/still are sold through a collective called "Sparkle and Shine," similar to PPU and HHC.
I might also need Cirque Crystal Tokyo and Cirque Fairy Floss! That's three Cirque polishes, so I think an order is imminent!
oo i hope you’re able to pick up Pixie Holo soon!! 😁 so glad you loved that one & the other two Cirques, i can’t recommend those enough, but omg Ghosts of Hecate is sooo otherworldly!! obviously i’m biased bc i love it and would hope you do too lol.
and ugh i knoww, it really is sad how limited some indie releases can be 😔 i know we’ve seen the concept from cirque and mooncat before, where they’ve brought back popular shades from years ago; i would LOVE to see more brands do that!! just bring back a collection every few years lol it seems like it would be a win all around!
but YES the Nailed It was from Sparkle & Shine! it was my first time hearing about it so i didn’t remember but honestly it was probably on one of the labels 🙈
All I can say is WOW!
😁 hehe glad you like!!
Fairycore Spring!!! 🌱 I am ALL IN!! Love this video so much!!
yayy so happy you love these 🥰🥰🤗🧚♀️✨🌿🌸
Love glowy ethereal polishes! Thank you!
aren’t they the best? 🤩🤩✨
Omg. thank you for this showcase. There were so many of these i loved and didn't know about!
Yay I’m so glad you enjoyed this lineup!! 😁🧚🏼♀️✨
LOVE this idea for a series 😍😍😍
love to hear that, thank you!!
These are ALL seriously beautiful 🤩 I will be referring back to this video the next time I place polish orders, thank you!
Yay thank you so much!! So glad this could be helpful for future orders hehe 🧚🏼♀️✨
This is totally my jam. I wish so much that I had glass frog. 😢
So glad you enjoyed!! And ahh I know, but I think she’s released a few others pretty similar since then- though they might have also been for PPU 🤔 while it’s not exactly the same maybe you can check out Champ from Alchemy Lacquers!
@@PolishedYogi I did buy a few Lumen this year, Morpho Glow and Sirens Storm, Glasswing Butterfly Glass Fawn. Also, found some of the glass mysteries second hand. They’re all amazing, but I still want glass frog and glass jellyfish. I just bought two ppu overpours in their last sale hoping to get jellyfish, but was sadly unlucky in my pursuit. I’m waiting on a possible trade, otherwise I’ll see when they do ppu rewind. I will check out your recommendation. Thanks!
This is absolutely my jam, thank you!
yay so happy to hear that!! glad you enjoyed 🤗🧚♀️✨
love shades like these too!
aren’t they just soo pretty! 😍🧚♀️✨
Love this video! I'm a shimmers kinda gal. Could you pls do a video on dupes for Olive ave flora or cirque colors moonstone. Shimmers that have a white/pink/or lavender base with blue green purple shimmer. I'd love to see you compare these types of shades side by side. ❤❤❤
so glad you love these too! and ooh that would be so interesting, i was planning on including those 2 and others in a Favorite Whites video since i haven’t done one, and a lot of my whites are shimmery lol so be on the lookout for that! 🤍
So many great choices here! I’m currently stuck on Lurid. After wearing Lake Superior Shenanigans (Great Lakes Lacquer) for my wedding last weekend, I had to get one of the Lurid’s on my nails (The Wisdom of Your Armor)..
omg congratulations Deborah!! 💞💞 what a beautiful wedding mani color 😍🥰🤍 but ugh yes Lurid’s shimmers have been sooo beautiful!! i’m planning to pick up a few more next weekend 🙈 i don’t have The Wisdom of Your Armor but that one is stunning!!
@@PolishedYogi Thank you! 💕🥰
This was so much fun! Thank you! I have quite a few of these. I just placed an order for cirque to pick up more shimmergraphics for a skittle and upset that i missed pixie holo. Next order! Lol
so glad you enjoyed my picks!! and oh noo for missing Pixie Holo, but also yay for getting some more shimmergraphics bc they’re stunning, which ones did you get?!
Can't you please do a second video with mainstream polish if you have?
sorry, i just don’t have that many mainstream polishes to begin with, and most of them are creams! China Glaze did come out with a collection recently that has some shimmers, you might like those :)
YES!!!! You said you had a video like this in mind. So glad it’s finally here. I’m definitely a fairy core kinda of girl. 🦋
May I ask if we can go to the Pixie Party together??? 😊🧚
I suggest to use Curse of Calypso. What else could we pick?
I knew your will include our beloved Cursed of Calypso. It is my favorite shade of my whole collection. ✨
hehe i’m so glad you loved this!! 🥰🥰🫶🏼 and omg absolutelyyy we can go to the pixie party together hehe! i love a matching Curse of Calyspo mani but i’d also want to wear a little pink, so maybe i’ll add in High Fructose too hehe 💖
@@PolishedYogi I feel so sad I could grabbed High Fructuse. I was in a low budget. Next time I wear Cursed of Calypso I’ll ask you if we can team up ☺️
I’m using Fairy Dust from ILNP and I’m in love with this one! One of my tops now.
Revisiting this video today. This comment now breaks my 💔
Now I notice your bottle starting to fade. 😔
I know you have it but I think Fields of Elysium by Mooncat would be a great ethereal green. It might be too dusty and muted to be fairycore though. Mooncat's Plankton also gives me fairycore vibes. Lyn B Design's Cat's Paw and Beauty Lives in Every Soul too.
I am having FOMO for the Pheonix Chibi Chibi... I almost got it but last minute decided not to! I did pick up the new Rogue Lacquers Pride and Prejudice as a shimmery dupe. I tried to find the link for it but I think it's sold out :(
i can def see Fields of Elysium working too! but i did sideline it thinking it would be even more fitting for a cottagecore themed video i’m planning 😁 but ohh the others you mentioned are super pretty too! 🤩
and aw i’m sorry you regret skipping Chibi Chibi! i actually ordered that Rogue collection too and am waiting for it to come in to do a comparison!! i think they’re gonna be really similar honestly, i think Rogue was only open for a pre-order but i would hope they can restock it at some point for anyone else who missed out!
Mermaidcore is a good idea. What if you did a beetles and dragonfly one? Butterflies could be another. Big wild animals might be another one elephant, rhino, lion, tiger, leopard, giraffe (rogue’s aim high made me think of this!), bears, etc. You’re so talented that you could add some nail art ideas.
Those are all so fun!! I’ll have to keep them in mind, esp the nail art part! I keep telling myself i need to do more 🙈
LOVE this aesthetic 😆 this is my OG aesthetic. i will be 100% sheer shimmery ethereal vibes until the day i die HAHA.
i started off wearing dollar-store sparse glitter / iridescent toppers on my bare nails like 20 yrs ago and i still do it ☺️
i just have a lil more budget now going into my 30s 😂 but the taste never changed 😈
OH AND witchcore please for Halloween 😆 maybe combined with smth like light/dark/emo witch to avoid rehashing Halloween faves?
i put on one coat of Mooncat's Wish I Hadn't Cried over one coat of Cirque's Linen like 2 wks ago and im refusing to take it off 😂 it's grown out now but idc 😗
i grabbed a backup bottle of Wish I Hadn't Cried 🙈 along with the LE dark blue flakie now that i realised it is just a multichrome flakie and not a black fleck. We shall see if i like it when it comes 😂
Loving the hair!!
yesss truly one of the best aesthetics imo!! 😌🧚♂️✨ and HAHAH i love that you’re true to your roots!! 😝
oooh i love witchcore!! i was already thinking of like vampy shades in general so i think i can def combine those 👀 and omg you were still wearing your bday mani!! that’s so impressive lol i don’t blame you for just letting it completely grow out 🤣 so glad you grabbed a backup of WIHC before it was gone!! i didn’t get the new LE blue flake but can’t wait to hear what you think of it!! 🤩💙✨
❤❤❤
🥰🥰🥰
💖💖💖
💗🥰💗
Goblincore!
omg i love this idea but i dont think i even have that many goblin polishes! 😝 i think Hillary from mediocre manis would nail this video tho 🧌
Unpopular opinion: but Flight of the monarch has to be my least favorite polish 🫣 it looks UGLY on my skintone under low light. Literally like highlighter orange when the purple tones disappear
Oh noo that’s sad to hear!! I know that one is overhyped too but I do love that one 🥺 have you tried Take Me To Your Leader? It’s kind of similar as far as the purple base with orange shimmer but it’s way less intense! Like other shimmer polishes for example where you see more of the base color
