My last 8 manis, rated (unseriously)

1. Emily De Molly Rust: saved the best for first. 10/10. Tomato soup or fall perfection? Both.

2. Alchemy Cempasúchil: 6/10. VNL is hard to shake w this one. Great sunflower yellow though.

3. Great Lakes Lacquer's Seven Gables Road. 7/10. Super reactive magnetic, very flashy. The green jelly base slides into looking black too much in low lighting though. This one needs sunshine to really be its best.

4. BCB The Jackal. 6/10. Super fun color in the sun, less exciting in the shade. Turns out I'm in the shade a lot.

5. Night Owl Ectoplasm. 10/10 for color, 6/10 for application. After drowning it in thinner it went on much better. Def a 3-4 coater.

6. LA Colors Oasis + Fancy Gloss Onyx Shards. Honestly for the price? Solid 10/10. Less than 3 bucks and 3 coats later I have this stunning purple jelly? Please.

7. LA Colors Seduce Me. I mean, cheap as shit AND stunning in 2 coats? Maybe my new favorite fall shade? LAC you have no business swinging with the heavy hitters like this.

8. Mooncat Devil's Ivy. 6/10. Good formula and easy to use but loses a point for the magnetic effect being just meh.

Overall, I learned that I need more LA Colors, and also that I love tomato soup nails
