I adore when you share and gush over older polishes. Really helps me stop and try to go back and appreciate my own collection more than “OH WHATS NEW” 😅 lol Thank you for sharing ❤
It is all about finding dupes to ease the pain!!!!!!😥The only brand that seems to keep em all is ilnp but it would be expensive to keep allll the shades
Yes for sure!! Even ILNP has retired some shades before but I think the last time was 2021 ?? It makes me wonder when they’ll do it again, but I definitely do appreciate them keeping everything in stock!
Fill line anxiety seems to be a common sentiment! This might sound weird, but it makes me sort of proud to see when I am using a polish up. It tells me that particular polish is fulfilling its purpose for me, to be worn and enjoyed. It reinforces that I made a good decision buying it lol. I have a few indie polishes that are discontinued that while I'll be sad when they're depleted, I'll also be able to start a hunt for dupes, which honestly sounds fun and is an excuse to get some new and similar shades. 🤩 I missed a PPU shade from Noodles called "Love Birds" this year due to a silly issue making a new account with PPU. I'll desperately hope it comes back for rewind or I'll find a destash because its lived in my head rent free since January 🥲 I'm also hoping Holo Taco brings back their OG glitters (specifically the discontinued holiday sets)! I know they were available last year, but I was still very new to nail polish and had no idea I would love glitters so I didn't even know to pay attention to them. I'd be happy with dupes for those, though ✨
I commented this on your winter favorites video but what I wanted was LynB Frosted Light. I mentioned it to my husband and this wonderful man found it on mercari for me and ordered if for Christmas. And since he cant keep anything secret he told me the day after he ordered it because he couldnt wait any longer lol. . It's suppose to be here this coming week. That is the one I've been lusting over and I can't believe its going to be mine
omg YAY how sweet is he for getting you a bottle!! also incredibly wholesome that he was so excited he just couldn’t keep it a secret lol 🥹🥰 i hope you enjoy wearing it, i’m super excited for you!! 🩵🩵🩵
My main return desire is ILNP Cozy Mittens! I picked it up on a whim the one and only time they did a big retirement cull of like 75 polishes, many years ago, and it’s a top tier winter polish for me. A beautiful ambiguous neutral, elegant and interesting. It’s so good it was my Christmas Day mani one year. I’m making my bottle last that’s for sure! For a brand that almost never retires things even ILNP has some to get wistful over
I didn’t even know ILNP retired shades at all, much less that they retire them in big batches! Now I’m nervous for all the ones I’ve been too broke to buy😭
Don’t worry! In all my years of being obsessed with them, I’ve only seen it happen once like 4 or 5 years ago, and they gave plenty of notice. It definitely doesn’t happen very often!
What I wish is the return of Jovan Diamond Dust Nail Polish from the early eighties. The shine on those polishes was blinding. The magenta looked like crystal. The beige shimmer was gorgeous. This line came and went. I was devastated. I was 16 and have never forgotten how beautiful those polishes were. I have been looking for dupes and have not found any.
When Mooncat was Live Love Polish, they had a shade called "The Cake Is a Lie" and it was a triumph. It was a nudey pink base with the most vibrant linear holo I've ever seen. It looked so chic and complimentary to my skintone while still being a bit loud and fun. My bottle is 2/3rds empty, and I will be so sad when it's gone.
i always love your fave/wish vids 🖤 the fall farmhouse shade immediately brings to mind cadillacquer 'hug the dog' and 'exhale' - i have both, looks like exhale has a more saturated base like farmhouse, w orangey flakies, but hug the dog is available on color 4 nails, and has gorgeous reddish/amber flakies. it may scratch an itch... 😻
A PPU version would be so fun! And omg the sugar scrubs too, there’s really only one I have but might as well mention it haha. I’ll start brainstorming for this video, it’ll likely be up in January though 😆
I’m new to Indies so I can’t really contribute in terms of wanting to see something come back, but I can relate to getting something that is so beautiful, that you know once it’s gone it’s gone, and wanting to try and hold onto it as long as you can. TFS!
What a great video and I totally see why you want these polishes to come back. I am still kicking myself over twiddling thumbs ordering from Potion Polish. By the time I wanted to purchase, they no longer shipped to Switzerland 🤷🏻♀️. Whenever the topic of „extinct polishes“ comes up, I think of Rescue Beauty Lounge Aqua Lily (I miss the entire brand), Butter London Two Fingered Salut and A England Galahad (which to the day is the perfect turquoise cream which I dismissed of getting a back-up and now it‘s gone. I admit all of these are really old and might not live up to the memories I have of them 🫣
I recently just missed out on Tulgey Wood from Cracked Polish and I can't stop thinking about it. And, it's so ridiculous, because there are so many dupes of that exact green lol
@@jacobcoolguy there are a few that are close (but of course not the exact match). Good Fortune from ILNP is like a sparkly version of it. Serpents of Eden from Mooncat is ok. Limerance from Death Valley Nails is close. Silky PJs from Lights Lacquer is the closest I’ve seen.
I don't know if this helps or hinders, but HHC waits about four months and then releases the rest of a polish batch in overstock. Tulgey Wood should be available in March (if this is a November release like I remember).
Ahh such great polishes!! 🥹 the good news tho is Cirque’s Azúcar has a dupe!! I forget the name but it’s from Ella Mila, I shared a comparison in my Jarritos collection video if you wanna check it out 😁
I looked at Farmhouse so many times and when I finally went to place an order it was gone. One recent one I missed and would love to see come back is Frog & Toad from WFL, now RL. This was a fun video! Thanks for sharing.❤
This was such a fun video idea. For me it's BKL A Lion with a Thorn in its Paw. It haunts me to this day and no amount of sister polishes can truly replicate the original 😭
I can't stop thinking about Illyrian Molecules now! I looked around and there are some that pop up in a similar vein but none of them I'd consider a dupe. I think Atomic would do a good job of duping it because they have a knack for making creamier shimmers where the highlight doesn't overpower the base. Whatever the case, someone needs to make this gorgeous polish again!
right!! how have we not gotten a similar blue to that?? ohh yeah while I haven’t tried Atomic yet, i can totally see them doing something similar! but right, i’m willing to take it from (almost) any brand at this point lol 🤞🏼
The shade that I would love to see come back is Noodles' Straight Outta Salem polish. You showed it in your Witchy polish video, and I fell in love with it!
You are so pretty🌸 My faves: MC “Confetti Dreams”, (WOW) BKL “We Shall Rise”, I am putting it out in the universe that Illyrian Polish “Molecules” comes back or you find an exact dupe bestie 🥰
I didn't miss out on it but I now rarely use it (I know I know, I should use it and love it!!) because I don't want it to run out, but it's Mindfreak from Fair Maiden polish, I got it from PPU Rewind... UGH if anyone can find a good dupe PLEASE let a girl know. I have seen some that are similar but I unfortunately am one of those annoying people where if I like a polish, I need it to hit basically the exact marks the OG hits otherwise it isn't good enough ahaha. Two I missed out on and regret are the infamous Lumen Glass Frog & Ethereal Ether Dragon. I know I can technically recreate/dupe them probably but again, it doesn't hit THAT exact mark so I'm like please............................... but I also don't want to pay the ridiculous second-hand market prices for them.
The one I don't want to let get away is "Cancer - Moonstone," from By Dany Vianna (it's a different one from their regular "Moonstone" polish). I contacted them and they said it would be back in the future, and I'm yearning to not miss it when it shows up!!
I couldn’t believe how much prugly nail polishes would grab me. They also tend to be cancelled a lot. I’ve had some success layering flakes or glitter or holo but…I missed out.
Omg! Someone else mentioned Love Spell too and I had to look it up and immediately fell in love with Rose Water too!! 😍😍😍 truly so stunning, idk why they’re sold out so often! Maybe more people need to comment on their IG to ask for it to come back 😅
I desperately need Live Love Polish Sun Glitter and Illimite Guernica to come back, especially since Mooncat hasn't ventured too much into metallics since!
ethereal’s upcoming PPU polish almost looks similar to jigglypuff? I think the new one is more cool toned (though we haven’t seen many swatches yet) but it is a delicate baby pink and I wonder if they could look like sibling polishes
So glad you enjoyed watching!! Oh wow that Orly looks sooo up my alley too 😍 I’m immediately reminded of Olive Abe’s Lisa, but sadly I think that’s semi-retired (meaning it has the chance to come back in the future) but I feel like Orly is almost more neon so not quite an exact dupe, but very close imo!
One Polish that I have multiple bottles (3 to be exact) is Dior’s Love…which is my perfect red! It was LE. So I found backups on eBay. I’m so funny though because even though I have those other bottles I really think about should I wear this today?!? 😜 I totally get brands having to limit their stock. But it would be nice if some of them would let us vote on ones we wish to bring back. Kinda like Cirque does.
I think there’s 2 that I wished that I had and keep trying to find dupes. BKL - A Lion with a Thorn in its Paw, it has been so hyped but that colour and formula is so pretty, and Cadillacquer - Parade, I think there are others from the brand that are similar, but a red jelly base with matte blue glitters. I want that and have been trying to find something similar!
I would love if some older BKL shades came back! I really love Burn Away the Shadows from their Bly Manor collection and I haven't seen anything remotely similar. They used to do these slightly pearly (in the best way!) shades that they don't really make anymore.
I’ve been really lucky that shades I really wanted & missed have been acquired thru mystery bags - Sweet&Sour & Polished for Days are great at trying to give you what you request, if they can.
When you get that one polish that is so special & amazing and you forever search for and buy similar looking polishes but they just aren't the same 😪 mine are Wildflower perhaps a christmas gourd and Phoenix aerin.
Literally!! There’s just something extra magical about certain shades lol I’ve seen soo many people talk about that WFL as a must have, I hope she sees how popular it is and brings it back next year! 🤞🏼that Phoenix looks sooo magical too omg!! It reminds me of Mooncat’s Mermaid Bait but even more intense 😍
@@PolishedYogiyes Aerin is like... one of a kind in a sea of similar polishes (and i bet i own most of them lol) it's a regular polish that looks like those gel polishes with chrome powder buffed on.
The one polish that I really would love if Mooncat could bring back is Spawn of Medusa. I would have loved to have a back-up of that one and I only have less than half left. I don't use it since I don't want it to be gone gone entirely :'(
Aww I’m sorry! Those glitters were really gorgeous, I hate that glitters in general always get the chopping block 😩 I hope you can find a second bottle for a decent price 🤞🏼
I had an elizabeth arden nail polish a long time ago that was a nude base with coral to green shimmer. It was nude and basic but also very much like an opal. Anyone know of anything similar? All of the microshimmers now are very far from nude colors. If the shimmer from illyrian molecules was in a sheer peachy nude base that would it.
I'm hoping Starrily will bring back or restock the Love Spell Collection. There are many polishes I saw named in comments being sold on some sites such as mercari and poshmark for anyone interested
Omg I wasn’t familiar with that collection, how freaking stunning!! I especially love Rose Water 😍 can only hope ILNP releases something similar lol. And yeah that’s true! It just sucks that a lot of what’s on mercari is soo expensive for being second hand 😵💫
If anything I think it would be more similar to Moon Lagoon, but not as vibrant! Those HT shimmers have a softer~ color to them which are still very pretty! Maybe I can try layering it over a brighter blue base though 👀
I would love it if BKL re-released their A Court of Silver Flame polishes. They were stunning and I have yet to find anything that really hits the same
Ah I remember that one, so so pretty! I’ve seen a lot of people on IG share Culprit’s Charm by Monarch Lacquer as a really close dupe, I can’t remember seeing a direct side by side though but I hope that helps!! 🥹💖
Wow I didn’t realize it was gone!! I hope you can find it thru a reseller, I would imagine there’s more people trying to destash that shade vs other indies 😅🤞🏼
@ yes! I was looking for it on their site to show it to my friends, and it’s not there. They only have the gel version and the whole collection. 🤣 I hope I can get another one some day!
I mean I can understand it to a degree like sometimes a pigment might get discontinued or they only have a certain amount, so the brand isn’t able to keep restocking. But yeah if it’s just the brands choice to say hey we’re only going to make this small amount, I think that sucks and leads to the bigger problem which is FOMO 😪
Mooncat’s High Fructose is the one that got away. I had my eye on it and the duo of it paired with Mermaid Bait sat in my cart for so long. Unfortunately, I wait just a bit too long to place my first order and High Fructose was gone🥲🪦
omg loveee High Fructose!! 🥹 the good news is that their one shade Curse of Calypso kind of fades into a very similar color as High Fructose! obviously thats bad news for CoC lol but always gotta look for the silver lining 🤣
why....why did I do this to myself watching all these beautiful polishes I can't buy?!?! lol great video as always!
Lmaoo but at least you’re aware of them now and can be on the lookout for potential dupes!! 😆 I’m glad you enjoyed watching! 🤗
I adore when you share and gush over older polishes. Really helps me stop and try to go back and appreciate my own collection more than “OH WHATS NEW” 😅 lol
Thank you for sharing ❤
i’m so glad you and others loved this!! it really is fun to look back on older releases (whether we have them or not lol) 💕 thank you for watching!!
It is all about finding dupes to ease the pain!!!!!!😥The only brand that seems to keep em all is ilnp but it would be expensive to keep allll the shades
Yes for sure!! Even ILNP has retired some shades before but I think the last time was 2021 ?? It makes me wonder when they’ll do it again, but I definitely do appreciate them keeping everything in stock!

As soon as I heard Ethereal Jigglypuff I yelled NOOOOOOOOO because now it’s going to be even harder for me to find this DISO 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
LOLL i’m so sorryyy!! let’s manifest that we both find this 🥹🙏🏼
@ 🙏🏼
My friend swatches for Ethereal and she said the January PPU is very similar to Jigglypuff!

MC If Frogs Had Wings, Holo Taco Plum Luck & ChocoHolo, and CC Azúcar topper. I like the bling and these ones brought it every season 🎉
Ahh such great polishes!! 🥹 the good news tho is Cirque’s Azúcar has a dupe!! I forget the name but it’s from Ella Mila, I shared a comparison in my Jarritos collection video if you wanna check it out 😁
Great video topic😊 The two neons I’d like Cirque Colors to bring back are Retail Therapy💖 and Kushy 💚.
Thank you so much!! Oh Kushy is a great green, I can see that one coming back soon too!
Omg I love this video concept!!
yay happy to hear that!!
Great video!! We love the same type of polishes so I friggen love your videos!
aw thanks so much!! 🤗🤗

You are so pretty🌸
My faves:
MC “Confetti Dreams”, (WOW)
BKL “We Shall Rise”,
I am putting it out in the universe that Illyrian Polish “Molecules” comes back or you find an exact dupe bestie 🥰
When I saw Fall Farmhouse it made me think of both Cuticula’s Polar-opposite and Go with the snow.
Oh! Molecule is to die for!!! And Fall Farmhouse is absolutely one I would buy. Sigh.
i’m so glad you love those 2 as well!! hoping we see something similar in the near future 🥲
Loved this video!!
Thank you! 🤗
I didn't miss out on it but I now rarely use it (I know I know, I should use it and love it!!) because I don't want it to run out, but it's Mindfreak from Fair Maiden polish, I got it from PPU Rewind...

I couldn’t believe how much prugly nail polishes would grab me. They also tend to be cancelled a lot. I’ve had some success layering flakes or glitter or holo but…I missed out.
Oooh for those sheers that you talked about, I feel like Vanessa Molina would be so up your alley
I’ll have to check them out! I’ve only seen them thru PPU but don’t think I’ve ever tried VM
idk if Starrily retired the Love Spell collection,or it just disappeared completely... but Rose Water needs to return asap! 🌹 💅🏼
Omg! Someone else mentioned Love Spell too and I had to look it up and immediately fell in love with Rose Water too!! 😍😍😍 truly so stunning, idk why they’re sold out so often! Maybe more people need to comment on their IG to ask for it to come back 😅
I have a fall color similar to the sage green, but the base is a cream white. The sage is beautiful too!
Oh that sounds so pretty! I probably could just layer a topper over a green haha but I want THIS specific shade of green 🤣
@ I get that! 😁 similar is Not the same!
I desperately need Live Love Polish Sun Glitter and Illimite Guernica to come back, especially since Mooncat hasn't ventured too much into metallics since!
ethereal’s upcoming PPU polish almost looks similar to jigglypuff? I think the new one is more cool toned (though we haven’t seen many swatches yet) but it is a delicate baby pink and I wonder if they could look like sibling polishes
Thanks for this video Stefanie. I’d love to see oh, cabana boy by Orly come back. It was a favourite of mine for years. Any dupe recommendations?
So glad you enjoyed watching!! Oh wow that Orly looks sooo up my alley too 😍 I’m immediately reminded of Olive Abe’s Lisa, but sadly I think that’s semi-retired (meaning it has the chance to come back in the future) but I feel like Orly is almost more neon so not quite an exact dupe, but very close imo!
Mooncat hocus pocus & Alice in wonderland collection! They were before I got into polish 😢
Ohh yeah those collabs were so stunning!! 😭
One Polish that I have multiple bottles (3 to be exact) is Dior’s Love…which is my perfect red! It was LE. So I found backups on eBay. I’m so funny though because even though I have those other bottles I really think about should I wear this today?!? 😜

There’s just something extra magical about certain shades lol I’ve seen soo many people talk about that WFL as a must have, I hope she sees how popular it is and brings it back next year! 🤞🏼that Phoenix looks sooo magical too omg!!

Aww I’m sorry! Those glitters were really gorgeous, I hate that glitters in general always get the chopping block 😩 I hope you can find a second bottle for a decent price 🤞🏼
I want some Ethereal, BKL, WFL and GLL shades 😭
Those are solid brands!! ✨✨
@PolishedYogi they are very popular and their prices on detash are so expensive 🥲
My 4 fave brands 😂
I had an elizabeth arden nail polish a long time ago that was a nude base with coral to green shimmer. It was nude and basic but also very much like an opal. Anyone know of anything similar? All of the microshimmers now are very far from nude colors. If the shimmer from illyrian molecules was in a sheer peachy nude base that would it.
Yes I want ocean lies so bad :(
I really wanted mooncat high fructose. I missed it and have been looking for a dupe ever since. It’s my white whale. 😂🐳
Amazing video ❤
I'm glad you liked it! 🤗
I'm hoping Starrily will bring back or restock the Love Spell Collection.
There are many polishes I saw named in comments being sold on some sites such as mercari and poshmark for anyone interested
Omg I wasn’t familiar with that collection, how freaking stunning!! I especially love Rose Water 😍 can only hope ILNP releases something similar lol. And yeah that’s true! It just sucks that a lot of what’s on mercari is soo expensive for being second hand 😵💫
Molecule looks kind of like vitamin glow that holo taco just put out! I don't have either so idk for sure, but maybe the same vibe at least?
If anything I think it would be more similar to Moon Lagoon, but not as vibrant! Those HT shimmers have a softer~ color to them which are still very pretty! Maybe I can try layering it over a brighter blue base though 👀
I own Munchies and it a great color! It is hard to apply well, though.
ahh yeah i figured it might have one of those finicky formulas! but the color is worth it 🥹💛
I would love it if BKL re-released their A Court of Silver Flame polishes. They were stunning and I have yet to find anything that really hits the same
Omg I will have to do a deep dive on this release!!
I want a rerelease of Lumen’s Himalayan Waters. It’s so gorgeous I want a backup.
Omg I can’t even find a swatch of this one! Unless it’s Mirrored Waters ? If so, totally gorgeous! It reminds me of Mooncat’s River Styx too 🤔
ive been searching for bkl when all is blood for like a year now. it actually did come back, but i skipped it 🙃
Omg that looks BEAUTIFUL 😩 can only hope it comes back again somehow lol or you find it for a decent price on mercari/ebay etc🤞🏼
I regret passing on Polished for Days's Angel Wings early this year.
Ah I remember that one, so so pretty! I’ve seen a lot of people on IG share Culprit’s Charm by Monarch Lacquer as a really close dupe, I can’t remember seeing a direct side by side though but I hope that helps!! 🥹💖
I don’t have Angel Wings but I do have Monarch Culprit’s Charm and it’s a stunning polish, worth picking up even if it’s not quite a dupe!
I wish Orly’s Elysian Fields came back. It’s a pretty ugly color but I LOVE it! 😢
Wow I didn’t realize it was gone!! I hope you can find it thru a reseller, I would imagine there’s more people trying to destash that shade vs other indies 😅🤞🏼
@ yes! I was looking for it on their site to show it to my friends, and it’s not there. They only have the gel version and the whole collection. 🤣 I hope I can get another one some day!
Definitely not indie but Essie Exposed. It seems like it would be easy to dupe, but I’ve bought so many polishes and not one is the same.
I totally understand what you mean!! That looks like such a cool shade 🥹
To me its dumb to make something limited. I had no idea and it seems very unfair so not a fan of.
I mean I can understand it to a degree like sometimes a pigment might get discontinued or they only have a certain amount, so the brand isn’t able to keep restocking. But yeah if it’s just the brands choice to say hey we’re only going to make this small amount, I think that sucks and leads to the bigger problem which is FOMO 😪
Mooncat’s High Fructose is the one that got away. I had my eye on it and the duo of it paired with Mermaid Bait sat in my cart for so long. Unfortunately, I wait just a bit too long to place my first order and High Fructose was gone🥲🪦
omg loveee High Fructose!! 🥹 the good news is that their one shade Curse of Calypso kind of fades into a very similar color as High Fructose! obviously thats bad news for CoC lol but always gotta look for the silver lining 🤣
