Meredith can be described as a dark blue with a blue & silver shimmer.

Dream is stunning, all the scattered holographics that Zoya do are, I need more colours in this finish, I need ALL the colours in this finish, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. Dream does stamp but likely best over a pale colour. I think I need to try and pick up Cassidy from this collection.

Meredith or Merredith as my bottle says, is not available on the USA website, which is worrying, I do hope she hasnt been discontinued already, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat. Merredith stamps well. This polish is perfect for night time stamping manicures, its like looking at the night sky with twinkling stars.

Hopefully while these two look similar you can see that one is defo holographic and the other is just silver sparkles and the bases are a different tone.

Mimi is gorgeous, it has pink/purple sparkles, thankfully not glitter, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats.

Savita is a discontinued polish and can be described as royal purple matte nail polish with pink and purple shimmer.

Payton is utterly stunning, the classic scattered holo polish, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in just one coat, this also stamps but likely best over a pale base.

Savita in epic, I do love the matte velvet polishes, I wish they would fo more of these in different colours, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, this also stamps but again best over a pale base, I'm an eejit I didnt put topcoat on a nail so you could see that.

Last photos are of my weekend mani, left hand has Celestia and right hand has Polaris, I then stamped with Mila, then decided to layer Celestia over Polaris and vis versa, then a coat of Eradani over my pointer fingers, my original base was two coats each before stamping.  These are glitter polishes, so I have used my Unt Peel Off basecoat, they feel like the pixie dust texture but I didnt want to be scrubbing for days trying to get these off. The stamping plate is Whats Up Nails B047, and yes I know the stamping is crooked, thats what happens when you can only see out of one eye and have no depth perception.
