A pretty enough pink, with a slight coral undertone…but the holographic was extremely scattered, and this color required four coats for total opacity. There are other designer-series colors I like better (Original, Sapphire, Diamond…), both for their color and for the density of the holographics.

Two coats gave me full opacity and even coverage - no slubbing or brushstrokes. Drying time seemed a little slower than the other polishes in this collection…or that could just be my imagination. I was initially worried about trying this color because it looked like it might be a...

A softer coral-pink red. When I got the tube I was concerned that the color would be a little too bright, but it looks fairly good. Nice and spring-ish! This is another color I'd like to find the Black Label equivalent - I'd like something in this shade that lasts...

Looks soft in the pot, nearly neutral. On my skin, it *is* neutral. The finish is less intense applied dry, so this can be good for either toning down darker colors, softening and blending, or just offsetting a particularly strong color when I want something just a notch above “neutral...

This is a gorgeous shade of turquoise!! And it's metallic! Too bad the spreadability is so bad. The brushstrokes were visible no matter how thin a coat I applied or how careful I was. That really sucked the life out of this polish. I *might* be able to get around...

Definitely a warm red, with a faint gold shimmer. I don't have this color to compare, but I think this might be the warm version of Ahoy Sailor (from the Anchors Away collection.) I was able to get full coverage in two coats, but I did apply the second coat...

Not as pale a blue as I feared it might be. Initially I thought this might be the same blue color that most swimming pools are (or start out as), and so I steered clear. This is more like a lighter Smurf blue. And yes, that really is the best...

This one's similar to Aromaleigh v1's Georgiana - it's actually a little cooler and a touch less pigmented than Georgiana; and the faint pink sheen the manufacturer describes wasn't all that present. It's a nice neutral-gold shade. I think some of my BE colors may be a bit similar,...
