DRK Nails Gruum Grumm & MiniOn
A deep dark blue magnetic polish mixed with holographic particles and blue microflakies inspired by Despicable Me. Dries smooth to the touch and glossy, polish comes with its own magnet (MaGRUnet). It can be wear alone, or with the special Top Coat called MiniOn.
150 cap

Offered in a box set, or Gruum Gruum alone, here's a shot of the set.

I wore Gruum Gruum alone in these photos, and used MaGRUnet that came with the polish. 2 coats shown, great application it stayed where I put it and I love the magnet it came with!

MiniOn gives a gold/yellow sparkle and is also magnetic. It’s a very thin TC and can be worn over other polishes.

One coat over Gruum Gruum shown here, but I used my arc magnet to repel the gold sparkles away from where I used the MaGRUnet. Pretty cool effect!

Chirality Upgraded
a silver polish with both scattered and linear holo with holographic silver micro-glitters, blue to green iridescent micro-glitters, and a soft blue shimmer inspired by Dr. Who.

Shiny and bright, this polish will put a sparkle in your eyes and on your nails! I see an ever so slight blue leaning, but that could be the holo. I wore 2 coats, formula was good.

Stella Chroma Queen In The North
Stella Chroma pays tribute to Talisa Stark with Queen In The North. She left behind a charmed life in Volantis to move to Westeros and become a healer. The war brought her to Robb Stark’s camp and that was that.
This stark blackened grey polish is highlighted by a strong linear holo flash. Understated and simple, but absolutely gorgeous.
no cap

Such a creamy holo that is the perfect shade of dark grey. 2 coats, topcoat, formula was smooth and quite opaque.
