PR SAMPLE

[Before we start, I wanted to update that I’m destashing! If you’re in the US and want some discounted – mainly mainstream polishes – check out my destash page or my full google doc listing them all out! Feel free to message or email me with questions or requests!]

Yes, my dear readers, you are going to just be getting an absolute spree of blog posts in these next few weeks, and obviously I know you’re excited. If you didn’t see in my OPI Spring post, I noted how I was deep into destashing my entire life (okay, fine just my nail polish collection), and how that general disorder and disorganization had kept me from blogging – even before embarking on the massive cleanout. I’m one of those people who needs a clean and calm environment for my brain to also feel clean and calm and focused, so squeezing my hand into the tiniest little open spot on my desk to swatch and record videos was no longer sustainable. I may still have boxes of polishes in front of my closet waiting to be shipped to new homes, but they’re at least fully pulled and the polishes I actually want to keep fit into drawers and I have room on my desk again! We breathe of sigh of relief, and we go into this new phase feeling better already.

So I went through my collection and then I also got really into bullet journaling and plotting out every part of my life, so we’re working our way to a ROUTINE. As I adjust and catch up and create these new and improved workflows, you’ll get some spurts of bunched posts. Eventually I do hope to settle into a truly consistent and spaced out schedule, posting 3 times a week–with nail collection reviews on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a makeup review on Sunday. You would think this shouldn’t be a new concept that I’m only now implementing, considering that I’ve been blogging for almost 10 years now, but it just shows how much I was flying by on vibes these past 9 years. Better late than never.

For those of you loyal subscribers who are reading all of these in order right as they publish, I’m so SORRY for my yapping so much at the beginning of each of these – it had built up from months of not posting and I just had to get it all out and explain my entire life to you all in these beginning posts. It IS what I do, I mean, look at any of my first posts of a new year. We shouldn’t be surprised either.

Alright, I’m done waxing poetic about my life, let’s get on into the review (I bolded that so anyone can scroll right to it amidst my ramblings, like a precious ‘Jump to Recipe’ button). I want 2025 to be the era of clearing out clutter, both in actual collections as well as the blog post backlog. While I’ll of course continue posting more recent collections, I have so many “older” polishes and collections (aka released within the last few years) that have been swatched up, posted on Instagram, and then lost into the grid. Instagram is great for showing newer releases in real time – but it’s lack of a search function on a profile makes it hard to go back and easily find specific shades – especially the farther back their post date. And that’s the main reason I started as well as kept up this blog! Instagram gives us the flash, but the blog is all about being a reference.

And the brand that I absolutely have the most backlog for is Glam Polish (which makes sense when I’m swatching a collection each month for them). While some of their polishes that I review might no longer be available, there are many that still are, so I want to become a Glam Polish Guide.

I’ve been lucky to swatch for them for a while, but if you’re new to the blog and unfamiliar with Glam Polish, they’re an indie brand that works out of Australia. Their collections are often inspired by and reference pop culture, whether it’s a newly released movie or TV show, or an iconic property we grew up with. Though they’re Australian based, they also have a US warehouse, making it so us USA babies don’t have to pay expensive international shipping fees. (I’m sure you’ve heard about our president actively trying to destroy the country and start trade wars with tariffs, so it’s nice to be able to get some pretty things through to distract us and keep us sane).

The collection we’re looking at in this post one is a newer released collections and debuted at the end of February 2025. It’s called the ‘Rocketman’ collection and features 6 shades of rich shifty shades of dense shimmer, all with names of famous space-themed songs. There’s one lighter color that breaks that deep color palette, but it still fits in, okay, I just wanted to give a nice one sentence description.

These are all available on the Glam Polish website as of posting. Alright, let’s get on into the shades!
