Things I didn't know when I first got these: purples are often a huge culprit for fading, use them early if you like 'em.
Pic 1 is three coats Tenta-cool (LynB) last year when I got it, and next to it is 4 (!) coats just swatched today. It's ridiculously sheer now and looks kind of magenta ( which I don't hate, but for having been kept in a dark drawer all along, it's really transformed in just a year!
Shot two is BKL's Talent for Misfortune swatched when first received vs two years on – it turned into a total greenish gray over time, so I franken'd it with the dregs of my bottle of Funny Tree (which did in fact stay true to color in the ~2 years I had it) to neutralize some of the green and now it's something of a warm gray with a greenish-blue shimmer which is kinda neat but I wasn't expecting it whatsoever.
Please share your stories of any interesting polish fade morphs!

Ah dang, I need to check my BKL. Have the same shade and totally love it 🥲
Oh no! 😭 Purples are my favorite
All of my green and teal neons from China Glaze faded into a really nice soft pastel neon seafoam. Like all of them just faded into the same uniform shade. I mean logically like I know that pigment can die over time, but I didn’t notice it until one day I looked at my collection and thought, why did I buy dupes of this pastel green neon? I realized what happened immediately but I still laugh when I think about it because I was looking like that meme of Mike Wazowski/Sully just standing there 🧍
