Formula of all three was fantastic, the narrow yet flat brush allowed me to skip clean up on all three manis! I love the elegance of the chunky square bottles and the sort of squared off cap made opening the bottle a breeze.

Night Owl Lacquer will also have a polish in the polish pick up pack this month that fits along with this trio.
I'll be blogging it this week, so keep your eyes peeled for that one!
