One Coat
Personal Thoughts: As one coat, this was the lightest whisper of color. It was teasing and soft and oh so sophisticated. With two coats, it became more opaque than I expected, but still allowed my natural nail to shine through. It’s a glorious pick for wanting something on your nail without drawing too much attention to it.

Two Coats

Fear

Dark cyan crème, soulsick with terror.

Personal Thoughts: So I honestly bought this color after a friend came to visit with a teal on her nails, and I fell in love with the color. This is a gorgeous shade that is absolutely beautiful and vibrant. It’s really lovely and a perfect teal.

Allure

A sky blue crème, touched with a strange hope, and given depth by an inexplicable, profound sorrow.

Personal Thoughts: This blue has a surprisingly depth to it that I did not expect. Definitely one of those true blues you see so rarely. Truly thick and opaque in it’s vibrancy.

Nightshade

A deep plum glitter.

Personal Thoughts: I’m not sure I would classify this as plum. Perhaps maroon? It’s a gorgeous red-puple that sparkles in the sun and soaks in the darks.

Porphyrophobia

Chunky plum glitter with flecks of violet and hints of orange.

Personal Thoughts: This is a fantastic witchy color. The orange sparkling out of the deep, dark purple is just wonderful. I love love love this.

Tomb Rot 

A grey-green mold crème.

Personal Thoughts: This is a perfect description for this color. I really can’t describe it better. The grey brings the deep green into something more like you’d see growing on your old food. Tons of compliments on this color.
