2. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Sturdy Sapphire (4)
3. Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition BLU (3)
4. China Glaze Frostbite (3)
5. China Glaze Eyes Like Sapphires (2) [really needs topcoat]
6. Revlon Princess (2) [could have gone a metallic/foil wheel, too]
7. Zoya Marina (2) [usually when I see a polish I remember why I wanted it in my stash; this one, I'm not sure]
8. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Deep Blue Sea (2) [love this one]
9. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Exquisite Frost (3)
10. Maybelline Express Finish Jean Jacket (3)
11. Rescue Beauty Lounge Catherine H. (2) [seeing right next to the Maybelline, they look like siblings; the RBL is more complex but the Maybelline hits the same color/shimmer notes]
12. Maybelline Express Finish Boot Leg (2)
13. Nicole by OPI It's Not Me It's Blue (3) [it's gorgeous color like this that make me buy Nicole by OPI despite my dislike of their bottle shape]
14. Nicole by OPI No Limits Matte (2)
15. OPI Ink Suede (2) [basically No Limits with added shimmer]

4. Maybelline Salon Finish Pacific Pulse (3)
5. Pixy Stix Maui Punch (3)
6. Laffy Taffy Wild Blue Raspberry (3)

8. Wet 'n' Wild Wild Shine Nerds Need Love Too (3)
9. OPI Greece Just Blue Me Away (5) [pretty, but definitely needs to be layered or worn sheer; 5 coats is too many of one thing]

11. Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine unknown (3) [99% sure this is Flash]
12. Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine Flash (3)
13. Revlon Mint Fizz (3) [okay, so I'd expect a mint fizz to be green, but this is so interesting to look at I forgive them for the name]
14. Orly Sweet Peacock (2)

16. Milani Breezy (3)
