Kitten Heels
A hot fuchsia pink indoors that turns to a redder hot pink in the sunshine. This has a great formula with two easy coats. I love both the indoor and sunshine versions of this shade. It is perfect for summer time. A small part of me wishes that the transitions was in the other direction however with the more work appropriate pink indoors and the bright, almost neon fuchsia outside. Swatches are with a top coat...

Deepest Desire
An shimmery olive green indoors that darkens to a bronze shade in the sunshine. This starts out sheer, but builds up to great coverage at 2 coats. This reads a bit more fall than spring to me, but I do love a good olive shade, so I'll take it any season. Swatches are with a top coat...

Centerfold
A sheer pink jelly filled with silver and black glitter that turns deep purple in the sunshine. For this shade, I brushed on 2 thin coats to build up opacity of the gel base w/o worrying about getting good glitter coverage and then I dabbed on the 3rd coat to load up the glitter. Make sure to do your clean up of this one either outside or after holding the nails under UV/LED light to darken the shade, otherwise you'll walk outside and instantly see all the spots you missed cleaning up (I speak from experience here). I can't say I was very much into this shade indoors, but I do love the color in the sunshine. Swatches are with a top coat...

In Your Dreams
A pale gray cream that turns periwinkle blue in the sunshine. This had a somewhat streaky formula and needed 3 coats for full coverage. In terms of color change this is probably my favorite of the collection. I just love grays and blues so this was perfect. Swatches are with a top coat...

After walking outside for swatches, I realized what a horrible job I did with my top coat because if you look closely you can see that the areas with a top coat are significantly darker and blue-er (is that a word) than where I missed and didn't apply the top coat...
The less dramatic color change with no top coat more closely resembles the promo shots for this polish. As you can see with a top coat, they are significantly different from the gray that I was expecting after seeing the promo shots...

Dolled Up
A peachy nude crelly packed with small red glitter and larger hex red, yellow and blue glitter. In the sunshine the crelly base turns darker and redder. For this shade, I once again brushed on 2 thin coats to build up opacity and dabbed one on for glitter coverage. I quite like this color combination although as a personal preference, I do wish the hex glitter was smaller. Similar to Centerfold, I suggest cleaning up outside or under lights that will allow you to see the darker version of the shade. Swatches are with a top coat...

Silk Sheets
A peachy cream with a gold shimmer that turns a darker more coral shade in the sun. The gold shimmer also becomes more pronounced in the sunshine. This is a very pretty shade, although it tends to make my skin tone look funky and darker than reality. The formula on this one is nice, but somewhat sheer. I used three coats for full coverage. Swatches are with a top coat...
