Shades of Cyan - Slay It!
Description: a darker cyan linear holo with a scattering of red to green iridescent flakes.
Price: $13.50
Swatches show 2 coats + top coat; this has great coverage and a lot more holo than my pics can capture! The flakies also add another element to spice things up
Precious Pearls, Metals, and Magnetics - Opposites Attract
Description: a magnetic holo with gold reflective glitter. BKL recommends using a glossy topcoat for maximum sparkle.
Price: $13.50
Swatches show 3 coats + top coat; this one's so unique, it definitely stumped me when I swatched it! My pics fall short in being able to capture everything that's going on in the bottle, it's not a boring grey! The interaction of all the ingredients has me concluding that if applied without a magnet, it's a greyish sort of base with a soft gold luster, and a ton of reflective glitters on top that sparkle as you move the nails around. Between the holo and the reflective bits, something's always catching the light and glowing - don't skip this one if you want a neutral-ish polish with some pizzaz!
And then I remembered that it's supposed to be magnetic! So I re-did my 3 coats with an arc magnet applied after each one. I didn't get crisp bands, but it does show a little bit of that the base color in the polish is - a murky sort of grey
And then I had a big face palm moment because I took the polish off - and forgot to take any pics of the reflective glitters in action! They reflect green!! Urg, I'm kicking myself for it and simultaneously consoling myself that I did take a short video of the action that I'll be able to at least share on IG! Please take a look at pictures from all the other swatchers to help get a better idea of what all's in this little bottle!
