Garibaldi
An incredibly strong multichrome, Garibaldi shifts from red to orange and gold with a hint of green on the edges. The Garibaldi is the official state marine fish of California, and is a feisty fish that will aggressively protect its territory. This fish is so brightly colored that it can easily be spotted in the waters near Catalina Island in Southern California.

This polish is on fire, ya'll! Great formula, two coats with topcoat.

Pacific Seahorse
A glowing green to gold shifting multichrome sparkles with holographic micro flakes, giving it just the right playful touch to pay tribute to the Pacific Seahorse.

The green tones make the polish appear chartreuse at some angles, I love that! Great formula, two coats with topcoat.

Sea Anemone
A bright and shimmery multichrome that shifts from emerald green to a rosy gold with purple and blue on the edges. Sea Anemones can easily be found in tide pools along the coast of California. They bring a colorful surprise to visitors looking for treasures during low tide.

Such a vibrant kelly green that shifts to a deeper sage green with heaps of purple at an angle. I didn't really see the rosy gold, perhaps I need a different type of lighting to see it. Great formula, two coats with topcoat.

Mermaid Music
A mesmerizing teal, violet, blue, red, and gold multichrome loaded with intense scattered holographic shimmer. Just as the mermaid song calls to sailors, you will be drawn in by this beauty!

Such a beautiful multichrome holo with all my favorite colors in it. Great formula, two coats with topcoat.

Lion's Mane Jelly over Girabaldi
A multichrome flakie topper that shifts dramatically between red and green, with gold on the edges. The flakies are the highest quality, so they lay perfectly flat and smooth without rolling or wrinkling. This topper can be worn over any color to create a beautiful new look, and it is based on the Lion’s Mane Jelly from the Pacific Ocean. The Lion’s Mane Jelly is only rarely found in California, which is a fitting tribute for this highly sought-after color shift.

Reminiscent of unicorn pee shimmer but in flake form! What coud be better?
Girabaldi topped with this is an absolutely stunning combo! I could not do it justice with my camera, so you just need to get both of these and see it for yourself. One coat with topcoat, great formula, flakes are plentiful!

Crystal Jelly over Sea Anemone
A multichrome flakie topper that shifts dramatically between green, turquoise, blue, purple, and gold. The flakes lay perfectly flat and smooth without rolling or wrinkling. The name and polish is based on the Crystal Jelly, one of the most ethereal jellyfish in the Pacific Ocean. The Crystal Jelly jellyfish is bioluminescent, giving off a beautiful green and blue glow.

That purple shift ya'll, insane! One coat with topcoat, great formula, plenty of flakes. Someone needs to wear this with a navy blue jelly polish, jelly sammich style. I need to see it that way!

Moon Jelly over Mermaid Music
A multichrome flakie topper that shifts dramatically between violet and blue, with orange, gold, and green on the edges.It is based on the Moon Jelly from the Pacific Ocean. The Moon Jelly changes colors based on what it has eaten, often appearing pink, lavender, or orange.

The flakes are leaving me speechless. The color is so crisp and vibrant, and ohhhh how they shift!! One coat with topcoat, great formula, flakes are plentiful!
