Horrible packaging, Great Colors.
First off, the packaging was horrible. The box (not the exterior shipping box) was very flimsy and fell all apart during shipping.  There was not enough packing inside the box to keep the interior box of bottles safe. All the bottles were loose and the glass of one bottle had chipped glass.  Once I got over my initial annoyance and had wiped down the bottles to make sure there were no stray glass chips, I opened all the bottles and painted one color on each fingernail (and two toenails).<br /><br />I love all of the colors except the black.  Maybe a manufacturing defect, but the black was not only NOT metallic, it was not even shiny!  The black is flat, dull, dark icky grey-black (see the pics!).  The other colors are very glittery AND metallic.  Very saturated colors.  The polish went on with only one coat needed except for the turquoise color.  That one needed two coats.  Also, all of these colors need a good clear, durable top-coat because the texture of the glitter is a bit rough.  With a top-coat applied, these polishes are awesome.<br /><br />I took off three stars because of the horrible, negligent packaging, the chipped glass, and the ugly flat black color.  Then I put back two of the stars because all in all, I absolutely love every single one of the 11 other colors and I'm pleased with the value of buying the set.  I will probably chance it again and try one of their other color sets.  Hopefully the shipping problems will get fixed.
