Disclaimer: I was sent these products as PR in exchange for photographs and an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. My photos were taken indoors with daylight/LED bulbs. I used the KB Shimmer Clearly On Top glossy top coat, Glisten & Glow Glitter Grabber (for glitter polishes) and the Zombie Claw Polish Matte top coat (*gifted) for my photos.
By Dany Vianna – It’s OK Not To Be OK
Description: a sage green crelly base with copper aurora shimmer and copper iridescent flakes and white glitter
Price: $12.50 Cap: 35 bottles
It’s OK To Not Be OK Applies smoothly and is very opaque. The color to me, is more of a tan khaki with green undertones. It’s a really interesting color. I think this will hit the radar as a prugly polish. I don’t love the base color on it’s own but I love it paired with the flakies! The added components bring it to I used 2 coats for my photos.
Minimal texture from the flakies that smooth out with top coat. Removal is pretty easy.

Color Spectrum Polish – You’re Not Alone
Description: A green to blue thermal with iridescent flakies that shift from orange to pink to gold to blue to green and a sprinkle of holo.
Price: $12.50 Cap: 50
You’re Not Alone Really great formula that was on the thinner side of normal but not watery. It applied really evenly. It is a sheer polish so you will have VNL with this one in both states. The flakies are really beautiful and some are small enough that gives this the appearance of having shimmer.
My hands were running pretty cold the day I swatched this so I had a hard time keeping it in the warm state. In the warm state this is a beautiful spring day sky blue. This polish makes me think ‘spring’. This has minimal texture that smooths out with top coat. Removal is pretty easy.

Indie Polish By Patty Lopes – Heartland
Description: Turqoise jelly base with crystal flakies and micro silver holo glitters
Price: $13 Cap: 35 bottles
Heartland had a great formula with applied really nice and evenly. This is a jelly so it is on the sheer side however the flakies and microglitters distract from the VNL. This shade of turquoise is really gorgeous!
Removal is easy.
Note: I had some spillage during shipping with this so my label got messed up when I was cleaning it off with acetone.

Jen & Berries – Don’t Believe Everything You Think
Description: Pastel blue-green with subtle holographic shimmer (think luminosity, not crazy rainbows) with a splash of teal & fuschia microglitter, gunmetal and silver holographic microflakies.
Price: $11 Cap: 75
Don’t Believe Everything You Think is very opaque on the first coat. The formula is really great and spreads on the nail evenly. The holographic shimmer is very delicate that gives this a nice glow. I found that in most lighting, the holo looks silver with winks of holo here and there. I used 3 coats but I think natural nails and shorter nails would be good in 2 coats.

Lacquer is in the Air – We Got Your Six
Description: muted green base with holo pigment and ucc flakies
Price: $12.50 Cap: None
We Got Your Six has a nice jelly formula. It applies smoothly but is on the sheer side so you need to build it up. The flakies and holo are really gorgeous in this base! I don’t really love the base color but paired with the holo and flakies, it’s really pretty. The flakies shift to pink, orange, yellow and green.
I used 3 coats for my photos. No issues with removal or texture.
Note: This brand used to go by the name Static Lacquer

Made with Sass – Awareness Earrings
Price: $7 Cap: 39 pairs
Awareness Earrings these earrings have a really flattering shape and also have a nice glittery sparkle finish. I’m not sure what the material is for these, but they’re pliable. I want to say they’re leather but they don’t smell like leather so I’m not 100% sure. They’re about 2 inches long. The text reads ‘suicide awareness’.

Sassy Sauce Polish – You Got This!
Description: A brown sugar shifty base that sparkles gold, green and red with similar shifting ghost and UCC flakies
Price: $12.50 Cap: 30 bottles
You Got This! had a great formula. My eye was seeing this more of a taupey grey base with a shimmer that gives it a brown-ish look. It applies evenly and easily. The flakies spread out great. The shifting shimmer is very strong and I was seeing all of the color shifts on the nail.
Minimal texture from the flakies smooth out with top coat.

Sweet & Sour Lacquer – Reach Out
Description: a purple/blue/teal multipchrome in a holographic base.
Price: $12.50 Cap: 75
Reach Out has smooth and even coverage. It is a little sheer on the first coat but it builds up really nicely. In the shimmer, I was seeing pink (magenta?), purple, blue and teal in person. The shimmer and the linear holographic were both very strong!
I had some VNL on the extension part of my nails that I don’t think will be an issue for natural nails. I used 3 coats for my photos. No issues on removal.

What Addiction – Courageous Journey
Description: a watermelon red base with a touch of holo sparkle and a variety of flakes
Price: $13 Cap: 35 bottles
Courageous Journey had a great formula. It wasn’t too thick or too thin. It applied really nicely. It is pretty sheer so on a whim, I decided to swatch this over a red on my ring finger. Silly me picked out a neon red (Orly’s Hot Pursuit) which in hindsight was a really bad color choice on my part since neons are so tricky to photograph. I used 3 thick coats for this plus 1 coat on my ring finger.
If you want to wear this as a topper, I think this would be good over quite a few base colors. It’s sheer enough in 1 coat that it shouldn’t change the base color too much. Removal was easy.

Zombie Claw – Frayed Uniform
Description: a black to turquoise thermal loaded with an array of iridescent flakies
Price: $13 Cap: None
Frayed Uniform had great formula. It applies like a jelly so it is on the sheer side. The flakies spread out evenly and easily. My hands were running a little cold the day I swatched this but I found it started changing very quickly. The cold state is like dark grey-ish green leaning shade. The warm state is a beautiful turquoise. The flakies in this look absolutely amazing matte!
I used 3 coats, with a thicker 3rd coat for my photos. The flakies dry down smooth. No issues on removal.
