LA Fire Charity Polish Masterlist

(last updated: January 17, 2025)

As you may have heard, there are many wildfires ravaging the Los Angeles area in the past week, destroying many people's homes and livelihoods. Many makers are creating and releasing charity polishes and other items to be sold in the coming weeks. I will be keeping a masterpost here for people that wish to purchase these items (or in one case, claim them). Most of these items are for preorder.

Bee's Knees Lacquer Ghost or Furby?

(Purchased)

I have noticed that a lot of my manis (past, present, and planned) are from the one Polish Pickup order I made in 2024. There will be at least one more following this one. How can I help it, when the colors are all so cute (and the toys they were inspired by so nostalgic)?

This one follows the trend. Read more to find out why.

Nail Polish Tracker Blanket Project: The Beginning

(All items purchased)

I learned to crochet in late 2024. It has been really fun trying new projects and stitches. I began with crochet pumpkins for Halloween decorations, then followed with other projects like toy scarves (literally) and human sized scarves.

This year, I have a yearlong project that I would like to work on. A blanket that tracks what nail colors I wore in 2025.

Fancy Gloss Troll Vault

(Purchased)

While many brands offer a variety of finishes, it is common for a brand to be associated with a certain one or aesthetic. In the case of today, when someone thinks "thermals," they are very likely to think of Fancy Gloss.

I had purchased Fancy Gloss once before years ago in a Polish Pickup, only to regrettably destash it before I could actually wear it. I had always wanted to retry the brand, and maybe repurchase that exclusive, since then. While it's not that specific thermal, I did purchase one during the one Polish Pickup that I participated in last year. 

How is it? Let's find out!
