  1. Uh oh, it seems like you were given a mislabeled Hydra! I was wondering if Oslo came out with new shades since I didn't recognize the name haha. I LOVE all those shades though; I don't have Voltanis and I'm wondering if I should get it :x

    1. Hahaha I was wondering about "Hyra" but I kind of just went with it. The picture of the label on the site also says "Hyra" so I wonder if they were all printed that way. I think of the four, Voltanis is my second favorite (after Vela) but it's similar to other indie metallic golds.

    2. Aww it was probably a bad print job since mine had the right label and my order was in October. I agree about having other similar shades in my collection, that's why I didn't get Voltanis. I tried to go for shades I didn't have yet, but I did buy Taurus (for some reason). They're so beautiful, I'd recommend Essos, Ara, and Lyra. I liked Ara and Lyra so much that I bought two samples to press into pans :)
