Power clutch is a dark gray cream with a slight warm brown tone. I thought I would like it more but felt kinda "eh" about it when it was on. So I decided I would throw a coat of Shine of the Times over it.

When I first saw SOTT I didn't think I needed it, I barely ever layer and I already have Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure (which btw, they have another polish out now called Hidden Treasure, same line and everything and I would like to know what that is about) but OMG am I glad I picked this up. SOTT is a gorgeous flakie that flashes all kinds of gorgeous red-orange-gold-green goodness. With one coat my nails were LOADED with flakies. Prepare to see every polish I wear for the next 2 months topped with this! Literally, I'm making it a tag.

The combination of the brown tones in Power Clutch and the top coat make such an interesting combo, what do you think?

Swing Baby. A gorgeous taupe metallic. I feel like this leans rose gold a bit. This is highly reflective, my flash bounced beautifully off of this. A very unique metallic polish!

Classic Camel. Caramel yellow-beigey goodness. I can't think of another polish anything like this one. It has some lovely gold flecks mixed in. There are a few bald spots in my swatches but I think that was my impatient application. I had a horrible feeling this would wash me out but I don't think so, thoughts?

Jitterbug. Another unique metallic polish. Charcoal gray, loaded with silver glitter. Nothing much to say on this but once again, love it.

Ingrid. Alright, I totally absolutely freaking LOVE this polish. I didn't want to take it off when I was swatching. Warm comfy brown with loads of light gold shimmer. This is my ideal fall polish and I can't wait to put this back on my fingers!

Creme Blue, robins egg blue cream, 2 coats to perfect blue. Surprisingly I don't have a similar shade. In my swatch I smudged my ring finger, totally not the polishes fault. I reapplied this and have been wearing it the last couple of days.
Periwinkle. When I think of periwinkle I think of a lighter color than this. I would call this a slate blue I suppose, it's a grayed out and unique color. I totally dig it. Once again, 2 coats for this beauty. And you see that shine? No top coat, no filter, these creams are perfect on their own.
Vintage Gray, I love this tone of gray. Dove gray, 2 coats and nice and shiny again.
Empress. I don't know why I picked this up, I hate gold tones on me. This is pretty just not my thing. Very foily, 2 coats.
Candy Green. Alright, first off, what exactly is a candy green? This photographed a little darker than it is, it's a unique in between of kelly and lime green. A little bit frosty but not that bad. 2 coats.
