Now, I have not watched Buffy before so please don’t attack me, but even for those like me that haven’t seen it, this collection is still gorgeous and it was so exciting to see them all together!
All swatches below are over Cuticula’s peel off base coat and topped with Vapid’s Quick Dry Top Coat.
The matte top coat is Red Eyed Lacquer’s Tips Matte-r Matte Top Coat.
I’m The Thing That Monsters Have Nightmares About
Price: $12.00 USD
Inspiration: Buffy
Description: A gold-orange-rose shifting base with red-gold-copper UCC flakies and a touch of holo pigment. This is the counterpart to I Hope Evil Takes Mastercard
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
This is a striking almost neutral shade! At first glace it may appear to be a lighter coppery color, but it is such a complex and shifty polish. The reds, yellows, greens, and flakies all blend together perfectly to just create this incredible mix. You can also see almost all of the shift quite easily at any angle–there is no photo trickery here!
It applied ultra easily and everything laid down nice and flat. This is definitely one of my favorites of the collection!
I Laugh In The Face Of Danger. And Then I Hide Until It Goes Away
Price: $11.00 USD
Inspiration: Xander
Description: A sage green crelly with an aqua shimmer that has a slight purple shift in certain lighting and blue-green-gold UCC flakies
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
This polish was almost a 1 coater! It wasn’t fully opaque at 1 coat, but I honestly didn’t want to cover up the flakies and shimmer in this one…..even though literally another coat would have more flakies and shimmer in it. I just can’t explain it. Maybe I just want to save as much of this polish as possible because it’s so pretty? Maybe it’s the teal shimmer? I do really love teal so I imagine that is a big part of it. 😉 Any who, this one also applied very easily and everything laid down nice and flat! I cannot wait to wear this one again very soon! It just speaks to me!
Out. For. A. Walk. Bitch.
Price: $12.00 USD
Inspiration: Spike
Description: A black jelly base with a red-gold-green aurora shimmer with red-gold-copper UCC flakies and gold-silver flakies. This is the counterpart to If Nothing We Do Matters, Then All That Matters Is What We Do
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Ooooooo this polish has such a nice formula. When I saw it in the bottle with all of the flakies I wrongfully assumed it would be a little bit thicker than the others. This polish has a perfect (not too thick, and not too thin) consistency that makes it a breeze to apply. There is also just so much depth to this polish! I love how almost unassuming it is, and then you turn your hand and boom! Shimmer! This is definitely a stunner and probably a must have especially for all you fall-o-ween fans. 😉
I Hope Evil Takes Mastercard
Price: $11.00 USD
Inspiration: Faith
Description: A rich red jelly base with gold shimmer, gold microflakies, black holo shreds, and a touch of holo pigment. This is the counterpart to I’m The Thing That Monsters Have Nightmares About
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
This was my *first* time not flooding my cuticles with a red polish and I am SO proud of myself. 😉 I just always do it, no matter what for some reason. I think reds are one of the hardest colors to clean once it gets everywhere and you’re trying to swatch a bunch in a row! Haha! But, this polish applied effortlessly and I love it! Now, this polish isn’t just 100% full of shards, and I rather like that, but I wanted to mention a trick I discovered if you are finding yourself not able to get as many as you would like off the brush and onto your nail. When applying polishes with flakies, shards, or glitters (in general), if you hold the brush as close to flat as possible on your nail when pulling it away from your cuticles, I have noticed many more flakies, shards, etc. remaining on the nail. 🙂 I used that technique for this polish since there aren’t as many shards as say, flakies in some of the other polishes in this collection, and you can see my results below! I didn’t fish for shards or anything, but just applied the polish in the way mentioned above.
I am also very happy to see a red in this collection! I have always said, Lexi and GGL are known for the fabulous red polishes released (or at least, I see it that way 😉 ). This is no exception and this red is very sparkly and magical. I love the shimmer (especially matte!) and really can’t wait to wear this one again soon!
If Nothing We Do Matters, Then All That Matters Is What We Do
Price: $12.00 USD
Inspiration: Angel
Description: A white crelly base with a red-gold-green aurora shimmer with red-gold-copper UCC flakies and gold-silver flakies. This is the counterpart to Out. For. A. Walk. Bitch
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
Now this is one of those unassuming gorgeous polishes. You look at the bottle and think, “oh, that’s a lovely white crelly” and then you really look and ohmygosh the shimmer! This one is gorgeous and yet so simple too. It could be worn alone or under some fun nail art! It applied very easily and even packed full of flakies, it was smooth to the touch after one coat of top coat. You should definitely check out my bottle shots for the best look at the shimmer in this one!
To Forgive Is An Act Of Compassion
Price: $10.00 USD
Inspiration: Giles
Description: A rich chocolate brown crelly base with green-gold microflakies and gold holo microshreds
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
I can’t get enough of the little “v” curved glitters in this one! They just make me giggle for some reason, but every polish they are ever in, I just automatically love it. This one applied very easily and I actually felt a nail before top coating and there was no texture even then! I am just amazed at the formula. I love this shade of brown as well and the gold shimmer thanks to the glitters is just fabulous! I think this one matte is incredible too. I love that you can then just pick out and see every little flakie and glitter piece by piece.
Did We Not Put The ‘Grrr’ In ‘Girl’?
Price: $11.00 USD
Inspiration: Willow
Description: An orange jelly base with red-gold-green aurora shimmer with green-purple-blue UCC flakies
My swatches are 2 coats of polish and topped with 1 coat of top coat.
I am shocked. I would have never thought I could love an orange polish like this….I normally don’t reach for orange polishes, but I will be reaching for this one again very soon! Oh my gosh it’s perfect! The little flakies and shimmer and shade of orange are all perfect and work so well together! The formula is buttery smooth and it applied like a dream. Everything laid down nice and flat as well. This is definitely a must have! Especially for orange lovers!
My thoughts on this collection as a whole? It’s perfect! Jenn and Lexi really outdid themselves with all the hard work and love they put into it and I am in love. <3
Every polish just has an amazing formula that allows for them to all be perfect 2 coaters. They all applied effortlessly. They all look great together and compliment each other in such a way that I think you could do a skittles mani with any combination of these colors!
I really can’t pick a favorite…………but if I had to, I think it might be “I’m The Thing That Monsters Have Nightmares About.” I really just can’t get enough of how much shimmer there is in that one! Just WOW.
“Did We Not Put The ‘Grrr’ In ‘Girl’?” is a very close second! 🙂
