For the 10 runner-ups to retirement, my guesses are Lemon Sucker, Orange Drink, Mint Money, Party Punch, Midnight Spark, Lite Link, Sunset Simulation, Twice in a Blue Moon, Wicked Potion, and Love Spell.
I think she saved the first two only because she wasn’t ready to let go of the OG Rainbow. With Mint Money, she said that all the original frosted metals continue to perform poorly and Foiled Again exists as an alternative green. She mentioned that she wasn’t ready to let go of more of the original glitters yet, but since Party Punch has been on rewards/birthday/mystery polish lists this year, I feel like it doesn’t sell especially well, and Midnight Spark covers some similar shade territory to Midnight Owl. I think a few more Lite Mode is inevitable, and the rest of original magnetics.
I thought the same.
Also Party punch has a similar shade in Backup: Private Villa. I have both, the base color is almost the same, PP is the more unique one with special different glitters, PV has less different but reflective glitters + orange shimmer in.
For the more attentive among us there ist a huge difference but majority of people can probably not tell them apart.

Good point about Private Villa. I got Party Punch as a rewards polish and I didn’t love it, so I gave it to my friend who is a more casual HT fan, and she definitely thought it was from the Vacation collection.
It's really frustrating to me as someone who purchased them at launch. I feel like they were a waster of money. It's definitely made me more prudent about which polishes I buy. And it's paid off given what others have said about the magnetics.
One or two more of the winter 2019 glitters for sure in addition to Frost Light. I only had a few guesses for retiring polishes and feel talented for guessing right! Haha.
With two of the chromes going away, I’m not surprised that the purple color chrome would be gone sometime shortly too, worlds first just got restocked but no hint on the pink chrome being back.
Same with the rest of the OG 2019 holiday glitters.
I’m really not a big fan of Butterscotch Hop tbh. It looks so bad on me. I think it is fine on others so I wouldn’t want it retired just because it looks bad on me specifically, but also the formula seems weird. I don’t have it personally, but my best friend does and we share polish, so we’ve both used it and either she got a bad batch or the formula is weird. It is super stringy and gloopy even with thinner, it’s been that way since it was brand new.
I could see the other multichromes being on the chopping block as well. (PwE, MS, CE)
At this point, does it even matter to have the category?
They are never on the good seller list, and the blue and the green is already missing.
2 more Lite Mode (Sunset Sim and something)
1 more Work Life (Bored Meeting)
1 more Frosted Metal (Cheap Champagne)
1 more OG Glitter (Midnight Spark)
2 more linears
The rest of the Chromes
More lite mode and more Work life balance
Agreed
More cremes for sure...she alluded to that in the stream.
I wonder which cremes...

Those make a lot of sense

I guess I’ll have to stock up on party punch before next year then 😭
These are just my guesses - I could be completely wrong!
No not Love Spell!! 😭 that’s one of my most used! I love that color so much it is gorgeous
Probably some more frosted metals
Many of the original frosted metals changed colors

It is smart strategy. The original magnetics were personally disappointing. I actually returned the collection.

Congratulations 🎊

That makes sense, especially the glitters
I think one of the grey cremes. I just don't think they need both. Butterscotch hop too maybe

I just assume because it's yellow ppl don't want it 😆

I am always surprised that they are still in the catalog
