3 polishes (in this post)

Femme Fatale: Unicorn Bites

Femme Fatale continues her Candy theme with Unicorn Bites, which features a greyed-out lavender base with a rainbow of matte glitters and a subtle sprinkling of holographic sparkle. So so cute! I just love sparser matte glitter crellies. The holo sparkle isn’t showing up well on camera, but it adds a beautiful dynamism as you move your hand under direct light.

3 coats + top coat

Great Lakes: The Avatar State

GLL continues her Avatar: The Last Airbender theme with The Avatar State, an indigo blue base packed with red/green shifting shimmer and scattered holo. The scattered holo isn’t showing up as well in photos as it does in real life, but it sparkles beautifully in person. The shimmer is really bright and glowy. The concept of a blue polish with red/green shifting shimmer has been done many times over, but I like how the base of this one is on the darker side and how the shimmer is a larger particle size, with almost microflake pieces, both of which allow the shimmer to pop better and be more intense. The holographic sparkle also contributes to the “rainbow in a bottle” effect.

Two coats covers well, but I added a third for a deeper, more intense color.

3 coats + top coat

Lilypad: That’s All Folks!

Lilypad wraps up her Looney Tunes series with That’s All Folks!, which features a black jelly base packed with red and silver holo microglitter, red circular glitter, and white glitter shards. Circular glitter adds so much fun to a polish, and those microglitters sparkle beautifully in the black jelly base.
