BaronessX X Marks The Spot
Rich black fluid art nail polish with large particle holographic pigment. This polish creates the spotted effect as seen in fluid nail art.
Cap 75

Super easy to use, I dropped a few cream colors on a mat, then dropped a couple of drops of X Marks The Spot, then I folded the mat to smoosh the polish twice and let dry. After it dried, I applied like a decal. This is the third time I've done fluid art and I'm pleased how easy it was to get these results from the BraonessX polish.

KBShimmer I Need Space
Inspired by stunning photos of our galaxy from earth.
The polish starts as a silver slate. When you apply a magnet, a bright silver line accents a blackened-navy background. Micro and small holo glitters sparkle like the night sky with tiny, shifty blue flakes.
No cap

I used a bar magnet for the diagonal line.

Inspired by a bar of freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream
The sugar scrub features three layers, each with its own scent: classic strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. Use each layer individually, or stir them to form a juicy, chocolate-covered berry scent.
Cap TBD

Lollipop Posse Scorpio Season
A purple-based multichrome that shifts between royal purple, deep magenta, and a burnished gold, accented with pink color-shifting iridescent flakes.
No cap

Purple is my favorite color and I always have trouble deciding which shade of purple I love most. With this polish, I get both! Loving how it shifts from a blue leaning purple to red raspberry leaning violet.

Such stellar, out of this world polishes! These brands have outdone themselves, yet again.
Each polish is shown in two coats with glossy topcoat. Formula for each was good, as I typically find with indie polishes.
