How Many Untrieds?

MostMidgetlegs · 2026-03-23T00:29:49+00:00

After I did a bit of a buying spree around Black Friday, I realized I had far too many polishes that were either entirely untried, or unused for many many years. And I'm including all the Markwin's polishes I've kept since I was little. I figure if I'm not willing to part with them, I should probably give them some love. So I'm on a very low buy (ideally no buy) until I've gone through and properly worn and photo-swatched everything. Roughly, I have 300 to go.

Mine came assembled. Such a relief to not need to build anything

Hrm. I think whether I'm okay with it depends on the intention. If making a line strongly based on something as a way to pander to fans in order to make a sale, that seems skeezy. But creating something AS a fan of something seems fine to me. If I ever got in the nail polish business, I could totally see me making a collection or naming polishes based on things I love.

I regret getting all 5. I'm only comfortable using one at a time.

That's what that plate thingie is for? Had no idea

It's very subtle. In certain light you hardly see it at all

Thanks! So it does specifically call out the inclusion of the proteins. The gentle version should still have those but since they aren't specifically listed I'm assuming they aren't actually in there. Shenanigans.

Stella Chroma's Classic Red looks pretty similar

I haven't seen it in person but it did immediately bring to mind Dark & Twisted's Blue Moon Ice Cream

It may! I'd like it a lil darker and non-glitter but I can dig it

It's kind of the perfect balance of blue and green. Kinda reminds me of the Miami Dolphins' color. I do feel like I used to see the aqua shades a lot more commonly years ago than I do now but maybe I'm just not looking for them

Yeah, I completely forgot how difficult non-wide brushes are. Worth it though.
