Phoenix was inspired by the Brides of Dracula for their trio.

Aleera
A soft rosy mauve packed with red to golden iridescent micro flakies who reach olive at more extreme angles. Such a nice reflection from the flakes, like little mirrors almost! I love this polish. Shown in three coats with topcoat. Sheer enough to use as a topper as well.

Marishka
A chunky shimmer that goes from golden to green reaching pink and turquoise at some extreme angles. Wow! The shifts in this one are something else! I managed to capture all the colors mentioned in the maker's description too, this one's vibrant! Shown in three coats with topcoat. Sheer enough to use as a topper as well.

Sassy Sauce polishes were all named by Mary Sandberg, their differing inspirations are included with each description.

2 Tickets to Terrodise
A pink/copper/golden shimmer with a twinkling of green microglitter, inspired by a collage of classic monsters. Shown in two coats with topcoat. I was a little unsure about the glitter in this but it turned out really pretty and it wasn't too difficult to remove since the glitter is a light sprinkling. Shown in two coats with topcoat.

Don’t Provoke Me
A purple jelly base with a glowy blue shift, inspired by Klombo from Minecraft. What an amazing shade! So vibrant with such a ghostly looking indigo glow! Shown in two coats with topcoat.

I Think I Just It My Pants
A lightly blue tinted base with a glowy shift, blue/green/purple shifting ghost flakies, holo, and assorted sparkling glitter. Inspired by Pennywise. I love how strong the holo rainbow is in this one, my second favorite of the SS trio. Shown in two coats with topcoat.

Blah Blah, Vampire Emergency, Blah - magenta leaning purple base with green to blue to purple shifting shimmer and holo flakies. Shown in two thick coats with topcoat and it is absolutely more stunning in person! My photos really pick up on the indigo shift with a titch of aqua, rendering the base color hard to see. It is visible though around the edge of my nail and in the close up shot. It's gorgeous and yes, you need it.

Fangtasia Solid Perfume
cap of 15
Top notes- bergamot, fresh orange zest, and osmanthus
Mid notes- ripe mandarin orange, orchid, rose, and pepper
Base notes- vanilla, white musk, white woods, incense, and sandalwood
To my nose, it is a citrus, mostly orange softened by vanilla. This may sound like a dreamcicle, and it kind of is but that is elevated by the woods and musk which add a certain matureness to the fragrance. No single note is heavier than another, making for a very well balanced perfume. I love that the tin has a threaded top, it's very easy to open!
