Okay, first impression? This set is HUGE! 40 colors including holographics and chameleon flakes - my inner magpie is screaming.

The mirror effect is insane when you get it right. Pro tip: black or white base makes the colors POP. I messed up my first try (RIP my left thumb) but once I figured out the no-wipe top coat trick? *chef's kiss*

These powders are seriously pigmented. Like, barely-dip-your-brush-in pigmented. The gold and silver are my faves - they give that liquid metal look without the salon price tag.

Weirdest surprise? The chameleon flakes tried to escape when I opened them! They're so light they practically float. Now I open the jars over a tray like I'm handling radioactive glitter (which, let's be real, I kinda am).

Lasting power? Two weeks and counting on my test nails. For $20-ish? Absolute steal. My nail tech friend stole three colors already - consider that a professional endorsement!
