I'm loving the soft, rich shades in this box! Each of them have really good formulas, apply smoothly and are shown in two coats.

Anchor & Heart Lacquer Frozen Mountain Dawn
a warm beige crelly with pink shimmer, and scattered glitter in pink, gray, navy blue.

I love a good crelly and what could be better than a warm shade with pops of color sprinkled in?
