- Super-pigmented shades may cause staining depending on the porousness of the nail and the use of a protective base coat. Polish should be stored in a cool, dark place to keep it at its best for longer and to prevent the colour or consistency from changing.
- Batch variability: Please note specialty polishes are created using unique pigments that may vary slightly between batches.
- Due to metallic pigments which are prone to tarnishing, the overall colour or tone of metallic-based formulas may fade or change over time.

Lovely
The polishes are lovely. Some chip more than others but I’m happy I picked up the entire collection.

Pretty collections.
I’m glad I picked up the entire collection.

Great Collection
Loved every one of these shades. A couple were a little too similar to each other for my taste, but I really liked the vibes of the ox blood and the silent library

This needs MORE than 5 stars! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!
I love everything about this bundle! Every color is perfection! The build of Devils Advocate I can’t get enough of! I am also super thrilled about the switch to thicc brushes!! Too amazing!!! I highly recommend this moody color story!! Head Hunter just might be my all time favorite solid color I’ve ever had on my nails!!

Incredibly spooky
First collection where I bought the whole thing and I'm so happy I did! All of the polishes go together so well and are great for nail art. I love Silent library so much the formula is so cool and interesting I hope more polishes are made in this formula.
