Mermaid In The Shade
A pale, violet-purple base is boldly accented with a shimmer that shifts in a rainbow of hues. In the shade, see pops of pink, copper, gold, lime, blue and indigo. In brighter lighting, the gold and greens shine through. Extreme angles reveal a pop of deep purple.

Obsessed! I could not stop taking photos of it. Ya'll I'm shook. There just isn't anything else quite like it.

Water Relief
A pale mint crelly is loaded with color-shifting flakes that shift from a soft, orangey copper to bright gold and lime shades

Also looks fantastic matte! I love how matte polish feels like porcelain, and shades like this look like porcelain when matte!

Where My Beaches At?
A bold orchid thermal polish loaded with flakies in green, pink, orange and gold. Extremely reactive, a light orchid quickly appears before fading into a pale violet and almost white.

Ya'll..how vibrant this is cold and the polar opposite when warm it looks like an opal! Its finish is matte and has a cool effect that way too!

I'm impressed with this collection, such an unusual color palette! All polishes are shown in two coats with glossy topcoat. The formula for all of them was good.

ocean blue crelly.

These first three crelly polishes are nothing short of beautiful, super squishy, no streaks, super shiny polishes. I need every color of the rainbow in these now.

Moonlight on the Water
royal blue based multi chrome that shifts royal blue to aqua to purple with added Aurora pigment that shifts aqua to purple.

The shift in this one is subtle and difficult to capture. What I saw in low light was mostly a deep teal shade which was beautiful.

And now for the jelly toppers!! These have both the original red to green shifting pigment known as unicorn pee plus the current replacement known as aurora pigment. They're all very pretty and do amazing things to the polishes above! Below are descriptions for each of them, and then photos of them in use. The bottles under each photo are in the same order as what's on the nail.

The formulas for all of these polishes is fantastic as we have come to expect from CBL polishes. For all the base shades shown is two coats which was plenty opaque for them. The base shades were then topped with one coat each of the toppers shown. It is amazing how a simple topper can completely transform the base color. Just think of the possibilities of these over red, orange, purple, green or yellow polishes too. I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them!
