Different Dimension - New Beginning

New Beginning is described as a linear holographic thermal polish with added shimmers that transition from a peach color when cold, to a bright yellow color when warm.

New Beginning is gorgeous and a unique thermal combination to my collection. It's one of those thermal polishes that look like you achieved the perfect gradient which I love because I can never do a good gradient.

New Beginning has a wonderful formula. It applied very smoothly and evenly, and the removal was also very easy.

New Beginning is shown here in two coats and a glossy top coat.

The following swatches show New Begining in the warm state.

Glisten & Glow - Times Are Changing

Times are Changing is described as a linear holographic thermal polish that transitions from black when cold to vanilla when warm. It's loaded with purple and red shimmers and multi-colored holographic UCC flakes.

Times are Changing is beautiful and those shimmers are strong in both the warm and cold state. The UCC flakes really pop when it's in the warm state like a fun hidden surprise.

Times are Changing has a wonderful formula. It applied smoothly and evenly. It also removed easily.

My swatches show 3 coats plus a glossy top coat.

Some cute celebratory stamping I did with Times are Changing as my base polish.

Cupcake Polish - Flash Forward

Flash Forward is described as a scattered holographic thermal polish that transitions to a denim blue when cold to a turquoise color when warm.

Flash Forward is gorgeous! I'm such a huge sucker for all things blue, and the denim blue to turquoise transition is more on the drastic side which is my absolute favorite. The turquoise color is so vibrant too. I just love it!

Flash Forward has a wonderful formula. It applied smoothly and evenly and removed easily too.

My swatches show 2 coats plus a glossy top coat.

I stamped some more fun fireworks on top of Flash Forward. I was inspired by the name and as a fan of the Flash TV show, chose a pattern with some lightning bolts in it.

Fancy Gloss - Turn Back Time

Turn Back Time is described as a holographic thermal polish that transitions from mauve when cold to a light blue when warm with turquoise shimmer.

Turn Back Time is so pretty you guys! Like I said above I'm a sucker for a drastic thermal and this one totally is just that. Even though it's a drastic color transition it still has you feeling pretty and dainty when you wear it.

Turn Back Time has a wonderful formula. It applied smoothly and evenly, and it removes easily too.

My swatches show just two coats plus a glossy top coat.
