Actually Romantic
My first Pahlish is Pahlish “Actually Romantic” from December’s Polish Pickup.
“Actually Romantic” is inspired by ‘Actually Romantic’, a song from Taylor Swift’s most recent album. For those of you who are not chronically online, the song details Tay Tay’s amusement at a fellow songstress constantly talking shit about her and musing about living rent-free in her head. The songstress in question is thought to be Charlie XCX, who released a song on Brat that was thought to be about Taylor. As Charlie once opened for Taylor, it can be inferred that drama may be influenced by Charlie’s marriage to one of Matty Healy’s 1975 bandmates. Matty Healy, of course, being the brief yet fiery romance that inspired Taylor’s previous album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department.’
I will be fifty years old in a few weeks. I have a masters degree and a career…and I just wrote the above paragraph without having to research it first. Help.
This is two coats of “Actually Romantic” over Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Froot Loops” and under Cuticula Limitless Top Coat in “Huckleberry“.
Polish Pickup December 2025 – Maker’s Choice
Maybe I splurged a little bit on December’s Maker’s Choice…the polishes were so good though!
Pahlish “Actually Romantic” ($14) is inspired by the Taylor Swift song of the same name – fuck off Charlie XCX.
Colores de Carol “Dreaming North” ($13.75) is a magnetic polish inspired by the Aurora Borealis.
Bluebird Lacquer “The Winter of my Discontent” ($13) is inspired by the struggle to get through 2025. PREACH.
Phoenix “Succulents” ($13.50) is another magnetic inspired by…duh…succulents.
Cuticula Mic Drop Base Coat in “Froot Loops” ($10) was a grab because I needed more Cuticula Base Coat…too bad I just used up my “Froot Loops” Top Coat.
Finally, Sassy Cats Lacquer “The shadow on the moon” ($13.50) is also magnetic and inspired by Oogie. Who is Oogie?
Choices, choices….
