Essence Cosmetics Superheros Collection. Swatch and Review

 
I picked up this set from Fred Meyer. I believe they are also available at Ulta. I paid $2.49 each.
All these polishes are unique. And I am happy to see Essence come out with a thermo.
The thermo was the only polish that needed 3 coats. But still very smooth.
The bushes is flat and thick. Making application that much easier.
 
The display is quite cute.
Essence description of the collection:
 
heroic and supernatural – new dimensions for nail styling sessions! the products in the new essence trend edition “superheroes” offer your nails super(hero) effects in november 2013. holographic, iridescent, a sand feeling, liquid gold, thermo effect, 3d textures like glitter or flakes or stickers – the variety has no limits! welcome to the new galaxy of nail art! the trend edition also includes super cool colors like fuchsia, turquoise, dark blue, purple, yellow, gold and silver. each of the products – whether nail polish, stickers or glitter, turns your nails into an ultimate highlight. there’s also an extraordinary nail polish remover with glitter particles to remove all creative styles and a practical turquoise cosmetics bag with a sequin look to store all your superheroes in!
 
A quick fyi.
The US is always the last to receive collections from this company. So, this has been released over seas for some time now.
 
Oil Slick Effect
My favorite out of the lot.
A chrome chameleon effect. It looks just like an oil slick.
Direct sunlight
 
Sand Effect
The ever trendy sandy texture with fine silver glitter flakes.

 
Galaxy Flakes
A jelly base with 3 sizes of hex glitter in silver and holo.
 
Holo Effect
Silver chrome base with very small holo glitter.
Boy,does this one pop!
Direct sunlight.
