Amphictyonis: 3 coats.

Cost & Cap: $8.50, no cap

Inspiration: Based on a goddess of wine and friendship between nations.

Thoughts: This is a red-based purple polish loaded with teal and turquoise shimmer. The shimmer is not shy at all, which I love! Just look at it in the sun! This is a super gorgeous polish. The shimmer is complex and beautiful.

Break Every Curse at Sea: 2 coats.

Cost & Cap: $12 and cap of 75.

Inspiration: Based on Poseidon’s trident from “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” In the movie, if one destroys the trident they break every curse at sea. Henry Turner, son of William and Elizabeth Turner embarks on a journey to find and destroy the trident so he can free his father from his fate bound to the Flying Dutchman and return to his family.

Thoughts: This is a turquoise polish with a blue-green shift and color shifting flakies. I couldn't believe the shift upon going into the shade. It's like a magnetic polish without the magnet! The flakes are really beautiful. I find Aurora's polishes are on the thicker side, so you can paint thinner coats or thin it out if needed. There's also a bit of holo sparkle in this one!

Weaver's Wrath: 2 coats.

Cost & Cap: $12 and cap of 100.

Inspiration: The green huntsman spider and the showdown between Athena and Arachne in Ovid's Metamorphoses

Thoughts: This is described as an olive green metallic but it's totally pulling gold on me. I'm okay with that because gold polish is one of my favorite colors. There's a smattering of contrasting UCC flakes. It has a gorgeous sparkle. It's not holo but almost appears that way!

Gaia: 2 coats plus top coat.

Cost & Cap: $10 and no cap.

Inspiration: At the beginning, there was Chaos.  He was darkness, a void.  Then came Gaia (or Gaea).  Some say that Gaia is Mother Earth, the Greek Earth goddess from whom everything is born.  From Gaia sprang the starry heavens, the sky, mountains, plains, seas and rivers.  And typical of Greek myths, lots of drama.

Thoughts: Wow this is a punch in your face! This is the most vibrant blue I've ever seen. It's a sparkly cobalt blue loaded with microglitter and color shifting iridescent flakes. It's beautiful. It was the base of one of my New Year's Eve looks. It's gorgeous. Because of all the sparkle, you'll definitely need top coat to smooth this one out.

Scrub: Cedar, Sage, and Blackberry

Cost: $5.50 for 2.5 oz, no cap

Thoughts: I love the formula of Stella Chroma's scrubs. I'm slowly making a list of scents to get in bigger sizes and you bet this is on it! It's a perfect balance of woodsy, herbal, and sweet. Delicious. I want to eat it. Haha. But I won't.

Goddess of the Wild: 2 coats plus top coat. (or 3 thin, depends how you paint).

Cost & Cap: $12 and no cap.

Inspiration: Goddess of the Wild is inspired by the enclosed photo of a statue of Artemis, Greek Goddess of the wilderness, the moon, and chastity that is in the Louvre. I got to see this statue and I loved it so much! When a Greek girl gets handed a mythology theme, how can she not go with art of a Greek Goddess she saw at the Louvre?

Thoughts: This is beautiful crelly polish. It's an off-white almost light grey base, what Pam calls marble! This is loaded with flake: green, gold, silver, green to gold shifting flakes. So many flakes! It totally reminds me of stones that statutes are made from.
