Every 27 Years - a blood red jelly loaded with original unicorn pee (OG UP) and gold to green ghost flakes. $14
3 coats + top coat for swatches

Come Back - a pumpkin orange with red to green shimmer and loaded with OG UP and gold to green ghost flakes. $14
3 coats + top coat for swatches

Deadlights 2019 - a silver to green multichrome linear holo. $13
2 coats + top coat for the swatches; Sarah's holos are so amazing!! And this has sneaky hints of green shift in it!

Pennywise 2019 - -a white crelly full of gold flakes as well as red to green shimmer. $12
3 coats + top coat; I struggled to get the green shimmer to show up but when I first picked up the bottle, I instantly said this is my favorite version of Pennywise! The flakes and shimmer warm up the white to be more of a cream color and it's so delicate yet not boring, and a perfect base for fall nail art!

We All Float 2019 - a mid-toned gray polish full of gold flakes as well as red to green shimmer. $12
2 coats + top coat for swatches; this was the first one I reached for, it's such a great color! The shimmer and flakes warm up the grey as it looks like a cooler tone in the bottle than on my nails, so I kind of suspect it may vary by skin tone

And now for the pastel multichromes! These finishes were released back in June, but a particular variant (containing holo flakes) was released through PPU (RIP These Fish in Particular) and became a favorite for many customers! So 4 of these are basically a remix of the original pastel multichromes and 1 is a new color. Pastel multichromes look great over a dark base as well, so you get extra versatility out of them!

Loser's Club - a bright orange to green pastel multichrome. $13
3 coats + top coat for swatches

I applied 1 coat of BKL Void (my favorite black base) and 1 coat of Loser's Club for a more "traditional" multichrome look - it's just more intense but has the same color shifts
