Angels Camp
a shimmering bronze base topped with multichrome flakes that shift between green, gold, orange, and fuchsia, and is named after the small mining town that thrived during California’s gold rush.

Absolutely packed with Autumnal beauty, this is a fall flakie lover’s dream. Shown is two coats with topcoat, formula is good no issues to report.

Chaparral
a fiery multichrome that shifts between gold, pink, red, and orange, and is overflowing with pink to gold aurora shimmer. Named for the unique ecosystem in California that depends on fire to help stimulate seed growth and renewal.

I LOVE this polish. The shift range in it is insane and bright. Who knew a multichrome could actually be vibrant like this?! Shown is two coats with topcoat, formula is good no issues to report.

Joshua Tree
A soft, dusty olive green with gold to green shifting shimmer. It is inspired by the plant of the same name found in the desert of the Joshua Tree National Park.

Dewy and herbal, this polish is so shimmery that it wigged out my camera. Shown is two coats with topcoat, formula was a bit brush strokey for me, so I sponged on the last coat for a pave look.

Muir Woods
a lightly shimmering sultry mahogany inspired by the Sequoia Redwood trees that grow in this breathtaking National Monument.

Such a lovely rich shade, perfect with any outfit. Two coats shown with topcoat, formula was buttery smooth.

Stamped with Hit the Bottle Spun Gold and Kleancolor Metallic Green for a multicolor effect. Plate used is Lovely Leaves 01 from Uber Chic.

Senescence
This moody thermal transitions from a golden, rusty orange when warm to a deep forest green when cold, and is sprinkled throughout with golden holographic glitter and gold micro flakies.
The polish is all about letting go of the past and embracing the beauty of what’s to come. Senescence is the scientific word that describes the aging and deterioration of leaves that turn them into beautiful fall colors.

Just imagine a negative leaves image stamped on top of this - you could watch the leaves change right on your nails! Shown is two coats with topcoat.
