I was going to skip this because the colors looked really similar and boring, but they have really pretty shimmer that I thought would look interesting layered. Unfortunately, it's the same exact shimmer in every polish, so they all look super similar over black. Oh well. I like them best over black, but the look the most distinguishable over white or alone.
They were all thick and a little streaky on the first coat, but it's nothing insurmountable if you like the colors.

All the polishes were swatched over (l-r): OPI Alpine Snow, nothing, AA Hassid
My favorite of the bunch. I absolutely love it over black! I can see this looking good over tons of different shades; especially blues and greens.
I love what the shimmer does to this bright pink. The shimmer pretty much saves this from being a dud. Spice Drop looks best on its own, in my opinion.
I really want to put this over Zoya Erika for some reason. Hopefully it's as awesome a combo as it is in my head. Anyway, this was kind of meh for me. Eek, when did I develop an aversion to pinks??
Sugar Plum is my second favorite. It looks so bright and fresh! I'd wear this over anything.
Overall, this set is not a must have, but a pretty decent buy if you like a couple of the shades. I do wish that they'd included a green or blue in place of the clear top coat because really, who uses these?? Anyway, I would definitely buy full sizes of Sugar Cookie and Sugar Plum.

2 coats over Ulta Pro Twisted Tinsel
What a fun polish! I wore this mani to my borther's birthday party last week. It adds something special to pretty much anything you layer it over, but I especially love it over silver foils. It applied like all of my other Lippmann glitters. Wait a minute or two in between coats so that you don't push the sequins around.
If you're not ready to hand over $18 for clown barf, Milani just released a similar polish called Gems, so be sure to check for it on your next drugstore run.

Alright, so I love these! I really want full sizes of N-Evergreen and Empty Stocking, which are the stand-outs in my opinion. They're all beautiful, though!
Silver foil. Not unique at all, but still pretty! It looks great under DL Happy Birthday, which is my current mani. :] This is 2 coats.
Emerald green with gold shimmer running through it. It glows like nobody's business. My ring nail is 1 coat, pinky is 2. You could probably get away with one careful, thick coat of this. Thin coats are always better, though!
Pretty, shimmery red. It reminds me of Ali's Big Break in my head, but I'm probably off. There is 1 coat on each of my nails, they're just applied differently. Ring is a thin coat (obx), pinky is a thick coat. 2 coats is ideal.
Gold foil. I usually hate golds on me, but I actually kind of like this one. This is 2 coats.
I have no recollection of skipping Empty Stocking, but obviously I did. I'm planning on doing a full mani with it soon anyway, so stay tuned for that!

I did a quick comparison of TDI and FB because they seemed similar in my head. I don't typically like dupes because I feel dumb for wasting money that could've been used on a unique color. Occasionally, though, I like a color so much that I don't mind having a dupe as a backup. Anyway, they're not dupes. FB's duochrome shimmer is much more obvious and than TDI. I don't prefer one over the other, and they're definitely different enough to own both.

Let's start with the polish. The middle ones are Ulta Pro. Woops, I should've switched to a white backdrop!
I'm a little behind on my hauls, but hopefully I can stop buy stuff long enough to catch up this week lol!
