Woot, woot! Friday is here again, and I’m gearing up to have a major lazyfest this weekend since I have 4 days off. Do you have any exciting plans this weekend? Since I will have a couple of extra days, I’m going to do some dusty hunting. Now that I’m committed to doing #vintagepolishfriday on the regular, I want to have a pretty decent stash of oldies. Today I’m going to show you a China Glaze In The Mood polish that I found at one of my dusties. The In The Mood line was allegedly released in 2001, and it’s pretty hard to find reliable information online. The only information that seems somewhat legit is that which I found here. Unfortunately, my bottle did not have a name and it appears that they used to have a sticker on the back of the bottle with the name of the polish. Let me show you some swatches below.
Let me tell you that when I first opened up this bottle, the smell almost knocked me out Sex Panther style.
Maybe I’m weird, but I enjoy sniffing nail polish–especially the old bottles where I know the formula is full of toxicity. I know I sound deranged, but I only take a quick sniff and don’t sit there getting high off the fumes, ok? I especially love this polish because the bottle has the old style China Glaze logo. The polish was a little thick so I added a few drops of Seche Restore to make it easier to apply and that did the trick. I think it’s quite pretty in an unconventional way. I wish that this polish still transitioned because it would be nice to know what color it changed to. Don’t forget that if you love vintage polishes, you can join me on twitter/instagram by posting your vintage polish manis with the hashtag #vintagepolishfriday so that I can see your posts. So what do you think about this polish? What’s the oldest polish in your stash? Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I will talk to you soon.

This is so pretty! I still need to go through my stash and see what I have that’s vintage. Also, you know how I feel about the vintage smell! Haha!

ohhhhhh em geee. Boy this is an oldie. I love that you pull these out
It’s so fun to play with these and show what older polishes look like.
This is pretty! My oldest polish is from ’96. Soooooooooooo 22 years old? It’s a green- very rare color back then- Cover Girl.

Oooh….it really sounds interesting! I’d love to see it sometime.
Bwahahah Sex Panther. 60% of the time, it works every time. But hello, that’s a gorgeous polish!
lol…It sure does. Isn’t it pretty? It seems uncommon for polishes back then.
Don’t think I own a vintage polish! As for this weekend, it’s my birthday on Sunday and I’m ill with the flu again!
Oh no! 🙁 Happy early birthday, but I’m sorry you had to have the flu during it.
Ha, ha! What a great post, Cynthia. I love the Sex Panther video and I am also one who doesn’t mind the old-school nail polish fumes. ;D
Hehehe. I’m glad you like it. Anchorman is one of my favorite movies so it seemed appropriate.
The colour is really gorgeous though – pity about the smell. I need to check which of my older polishes qualify as Vintage finds now… lol .
Any time I get my hands on an older polish, I know it’s going to be stinky. It’s just a matter of HOW stinky it will be. I’d love to see some of your older polishes!
Gorgeous! That shimmer is beautiful! Have you checked on the Nail Polish Rack app to see if there is a name? Just make sure you use the app on wifi. I’ve heard it eats up data like a mofo.

I don’t even know what that is! LOL I will have to check it out sometime.
It’s free if you only want to store 50 polishes in your “collection.” I use it for vintage polishes. I have quite a few that just have a serial number and no name. Unlucky me… I haven’t found one name yet. But I have entered a couple in (yay~)
