Anne Kathleen Giblet collection

Provided for review.

All 4 are cruelty-free and vegan. The giblet collection releases on November 28. All polishes dry to a satin finish, which was nice for me but for glossed look I added top coat as pictured.

Sana is a dark brown polish with a scattered holographic fine gold. This was almost a one coater polish. The formula in this polish is very smooth, not to thin, not to thick. It literally looks like milk chocolate.

Lauda is a medium tan-gold shimmery polish with a scattered holographic fine gold. This gold colored polish with holo gold fine glitter was super sparkly and easy too apply. I used two coats.


Macro of oksana.

Oksana is a medium brown polish with a scattered holographic fine gold. This smooth caramel brown was easy to apply. 

Thana

Thana is a glitter topper chock-full of extremely fine gold holographic pigments that mimic glitter. I was able to use this lovely as a full coverage stand alone glitter polish in just two coats. If used over a base color this would be gorgeous as a glitter topper, planning to try it over a black base.

I loved this ombre holo collection. If you wear them together you can create an ombre look with these four polishes. 

I also feel this would be great for a scaled gradient mani!

Doctor lacquer

Gifted by indie.

This crelly bomb lacked no glitter, it was exploding with glitter. It was very sheer in two coats I over did it with three causing the glitter top be lumpy, best in two coats maybe with a white base under for a more opaque look. Top picture is matte bottom has a gloss top coat

Malicious pleasure mattified looks completely different.
This pale pink holo is a great polish for those days where you dont want your polish to be loud, weddings, showers , interviews I think this is a great pick
How pretty is that, up close & personal. I just loved this color

My Dream Polish Gem Glam

Provided for review.

The lovely Vanessa sent me a mini Gem glam top coat with their fall scent Honey Almond.
Ive been using this for I want to say around 2months on various swatches I've done. 

Pro: if you love jergens cherry almond you will love it!
Con: if you dont like the almond dent, try the unscented instead.

Gem glam does provide a nice shine and is great on dry time. You will smell the honey almond as your polishing it on but it will be stronger once its dry. The scent will nicely fade as the days pass and it will become lighter. Especially if you wash your hands a lot like me. Lol.
I do recommend gem glam top coat. I like the fact that this is scented and definitely not your average scent ;).
