Each of the polishes in this collection had a smooth, easy to apply formula. For most, I wore two heavy coats which is about equivalent to three thin coats. The shimmer and sparkle the polishes emit is beautiful and I enjoyed swatching them all!

The online launch date has not yet been announced and I have heard whisperings of a new web site for Ever After. Stay tuned to their fan group for updates!

Flip Flop Hooray –This shifty shade starts with a rich emerald green, which morphs into shades of teal and navy, finally flipping to a warm grape purple with hints of magenta and red. Flip Flop Hooray is truly spectacular, with its complex shifts based on viewing angles.

It’s A Blazing – It’s A Blazing is warm toned polish with an awe inspiring color shift reminiscent of fall. It starts with a warm, rich burgundy red color, then as your fingers move, a rich bronze shade pops out. At extreme angles, golden yellows and orange colors appear. This nail polish has more colors then a forest in autumn!

A quick blurb about these from me - each of these polishes has a smooth easy to apply formula, most were opaque in two coats. For a few, I added a third coat to ensure no vnl under bright photo lighting.

I'm also going to let you in on a little secret of mine that camouflages brush strokes pretty well, should you have any. Pick up the KBShimmer 'Oh Matte!' topcoat, top your multichromes with it, and then top with KBShimmer's 'Clearly On Top' topcoat. It's like magic, guys!

If you're going to con, say hi to me! I'll be wearing a blue shirt with pink holo Polish Con logo on the front and Director on the back.
