Now, swatches!

You Got It

You Got It is described as a bright periwinkle blue base with gold sparks, blue/purple/copper/magenta chameleon shimmer, red-to-yellow and magenta-to-gold color shifting shimmer, bright red-to-gold color shifting aurora pigment, rose pearl flakies, and red-to-gold color shifting flakies.

This was opaque for me in just two coats. The formula was wonderful, it applied very smoothly and evenly. It dries smooth and removes easily.

All swatches are shown with a glossy top coat.

This was never released as an official single, but it's Mardi’s favorite song off of Nsync’s debut album and she used the colors from the album’s cover as inspiration for the polish.

I Want You Back

I Want You Back is described as a dark teal-blue scattered holographic with green/blue/gold chameleon shimmer, green-to-blue and gold-to-green color shifting shimmer, white, blue, and green sparks, blue pearl flakies, iridescent blue/purple and green/teal microglitters, and iridescent and silver holographic microglitters.

This was opaque for me in two coats. The formula was wonderful, it applied very smoothly and evenly. It dries smooth and removes easily.

All swatches are shown with a glossy top coat

I Want You Back was inspired by Nsync’s debut, first ever single, and one of Mardi’s favorite songs. The polish color was inspired by the American version of the song’s music video.

Drive Myself Crazy

Drive Myself Crazy is described as a vibrant yellow base with a green/yellow/gold multichrome shift. It's accented by orange/pink/gold shifting flakies, and a sprinkle of gold holo micro glitter.

This was opaque for me in just 2 coats. The formula on this was wonderful. It applied smoothly, and evenly. It also was easy to remove.

All swatches are shown with a glossy top coat.

This song was one of Taryn’s favorites from their debut album and it accompanied much of her teenage angst. The bright yellow base is a loving nod to Justin Timberlake's infamous "noodle hair".

A Little More Time On You

A Little More Time On You is described as a playful magenta scattered holo with shifting red/gold shimmer, and a playful mix of shifting flakies in various types, colors, and finishes.

This was opaque for me in two coats but I did three for my swatches. The color in person is a teeny bit of a deeper magenta than my swatches show.

The formula on this was excellent! It applied smoothly, and evenly. The flakies laid flat and I didn't need to fish for them at all during application. It also was easy to remove.

All swatches are shown with a glossy top coat.

The music video depicts a black and white montage of a mother and her son as he travels through childhood to adulthood. Taryn chose purple to represent the wisdom, dignity, and magic of motherhood, while the colorful flakies and shimmer represent the many complicated emotions portrayed in the relationship between mother and child.
