Merida is a brilliant lush evergreen scattered holo.

Giovanna is gorgeous, a stunning metallic green with a blue almost duochrome, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Giovanna does stamp but best over a lighter colour.

Merida is stunning, I need all of this finish in all the colours, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Merida also stamps but again best over a lighter colour. I've compared Merida and Logan and you can see the lighter tone in Logan with those yellow sparkles.

I love these two, Isa is so pretty, it has a gorgeous purple undertone with sparkles, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Isa stamps but likely best over a lighter colour.

Neve is gorgeous, my swatch stick has matte topcoat on half as I wanted to see what that looked like, Neve is a deep midnight shimmer, this was one of the first polishes I bought from Nail Polish Direct but from their shop in Leicester, check out my pic from them. In the photo the polishes where grouped by collection. Neve had a great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Neve also stamps.

Mason by Zoya can be best described as an exciting purple toned fuchsia metallic.

Marry J or Marry as my bottle says is really pretty, in the bottle you can see it turn red with a hint of yellow, my phone wasnt having any of showing that though. In the daylight pic you can see that rusty red colour shift, this had an ok formula, it wanted to pool a tiny bit so I had to do a thin first coat then a normal second, opaque in two coats though. This is from 2004 and I could only find one collection picture.

Mason is lush, I love the tiny sparkles of blue in this and that plum purple undertone, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.
