I'm Gown for Anything! is a pinky lilac with a creme finish. The formula is excellent, I wasn't expecting that! The first coat is streaky but the second coat is streak-free and opaque. I love this shade, and I usually don't like lilac on me! I Am What I Amethyst (Soft Shades 2016 Collection) is much more blue-based.

Oh My Majesty! is a pearly golden white with a pink sheen. This is such a gorgeous shade, but it's so sheer and streaky! 4 coats will do the trick, but I really wish it didn't need more than 3. By the way this photo doesn't do it any justice, where's the pink sheen?

A Mirror Escape is a gold with a glittery finish. This is a very unique shade, can you see the tiny white beads? These aren't glitters! That being said, the formula is quite sheer so you will need to apply at least 3 coats. The finish is a bit rough too, but honestly it doesn't bother me.

What's the Hatter with You? is a rich burgundy purple with a creme finish. This one only need two coats for full coverage! It would be a great color for fall, don't you think? Guys & Galaxies (Starlight Collection) is much darker.

Having a Big Head Day is a bright red with a creme finish. This red is streak-free and almost completely opaque with 2 coats, but it's a bit sheer so it looks best with 3. Love is in My Cards (Starlight Collection) is slightly darker and cooler.

Mad for Madness Sake is a fuchsia pink with a creme finish. The coverage is a bit sheer in one coat, but completely opaque in two. Perfect formula!

What Time Isn't It? is a dark grey with silver bar glitters. I like that the glitters don't get lost in the grey base, but the color didn't wow me. It's just a matter of taste, I guess! This shade is pretty much opaque with 2 coats, but it looks best with 3.

Fearlessly Alice is a bold blue with a creme finish. This one is extraordinarily pigmented, almost a one coater! Don't forget to apply a base coat on your nails because it will stain them. Rich Girls & Po-Boys (New Orleans Collection) is darker and less bright.

The I's Have It is a light powder blue with a creme finish. This blue is still sheer and streaky with 2 coats, it definitely need 3 coats.
