Stand by your Manny is a pretty light blue glass flecked shimmer. I thought it'd be similar to Sinful Colors Cinderella, but the shimmer is silver. A very pretty glass flecked finish! The formula was a little thin but it was nothing major. Photos show three thin coats.
Candid Cameron appears to be a blue/green/teal multichrome but it doesn't really translate onto the nail. I think it's similar to China Glaze's Deviantly darling but I don't own the ChG so I can't do a comparison. Despite not looking as awesome on the nail as in the bottle, it's still a lovely shade. Candid Cameron is also really opaque and you can get away with one thicker coat. I applied two in the photos.
Back in my Gloria days is a red toned purple. I found the formula a little funny - it was watery, but thick. Again, nothing major and I applied two coats for my swatch. The shimmer in this one is amazing, easily my favourite of the four! ♥
Basking in Gloria is a deepened raspberry shade. While I tend to shy away from these colours, I'm finding that I reach for them more and more recently. I applied two flawless coats in the photos below.
Whilst they're not the most unique shades and may have been done before, there is something for everyone. If you're looking to grow your stash, this collection can definitely be considered.
