My Thoughts: I saved all my thoughts for the end in order to keep this post as streamlined as possible. First of all I used 2 coats for every single one of these. Many offer complete coverage in one coat, I simply opted for 2 coats to help cover any imperfections in my nail bed. These do dry quickly, as is typical with mattes, so be prepared to work a little faster than you normally would. I found them to be smooth and self leveling with no real formula issues. I love the versatility of these shades, as they completely transform with top coat, and in some cases its even hard to believe its the same polish. Blue Monday, the teal flakie thermal, is of course the oddball of this collection but what a pretty oddball it is! Honey Bunny Lacquer makes some amazing thermals so you definitely don’t want to pass it up either. My personal favorites? Any that are matte, neon, or thermal. 🙂 

Oh and of course the 80’s rock genre theme takes what is already a stunning collection and makes it well.. ‘Simply Irresistible.’ 🎼

This collection will be available Saturday, May 14. The matte minis are $4.50 and full size are $9. Thermal minis are $4.75 and full size are $9.50. Starting on the 14th and running through the 28th you can use code May16 to save 25% on your order of $15 or more.
