Meet Me at the Altar is a pastel lilac with a silver shimmer that is just barely noticeable in the sun, very similar to the shimmer in No Baggage Please. The silver shimmer is definitely more noticeable in the bottle. It too needs at least 3 coats, and probably 4 if you want complete opaque coverage.

No Baggage Please is a pastel baby pink with a silver shimmer that just barely noticeable in the sun. The silver shimmer is definitely more noticeable in the bottle. It needs at least 3 coats, and probably 4 if you want complete opaque coverage. The pic above is just 3 coats because I get sort of stabby if I have to do 4. :-)

My Better Half is so pretty and was great color for my Easter mani! Beauty Junkies Unite described it as "medium peony pink base with slight peony pearl" and I think that's a great description. The first coat was somewhat sheer, but a second coat evened it out perfectly and made it opaque.

Using My Maiden Name is GORGEOUS and my nails look like little Easter eggs! I would describe it as periwinkle with a pink microshimmer. The first coat was somewhat sheer, but a second coat evened it out perfectly and made it opaque.
