As I forgot to order Rare & Radiant, that one will have to wait another week or two (depending on how fast my parcel can paddle across the Atlantic). However here are the other 4 remaining polishes in the Bohemian collection. All polishes are three coats, no topcoat.
Deviantly Daring:
Nice green-to-teal metallic duochrome. I must admit I didn't notice the duochrome too well when I first applied it, but as I wore it over a couple of days it became more noticeable.
Want my Bawdy:
Another one without a hugely obvious duochrome. There seems to be slightly more purple to blue in som angles, otherwise a nice blurple.
Swanky Silk:
Champagne-pink duochrome with a slight green flash here and there.
No Plain Jane:
Purple-gold duochrome. I see others have had problems seeing the colour shift in this one but as you can see, mine showed up pretty well. Of the colours that aren't usually my regular style I think this one is my favourite.
So there you have them. Hopefully I'll get Rare & Radiant in the not-so-distant future too. Do you own any? All? Any of them that scream out "Buy Me!"?

China Glaze ~ Fast Track and Fois Gras
These are the last two regular polishes (I didn't get Mahogany Magic, Not a big fan of brown polishes.)
Fast Track:
Dusty champagne with lots of gold shimmer. Here is another bottleshot to show off a bit more of the gold:
Pretty enough polish if you need one for the office. Thankfully I rarely meet with outsiders at work and can revel in the more fun colours :-p
Fois Gras:
Another one for the office. Dusty dark taupe/purple-ish color.

Kleancolor ~ Starry meteor
This is a very sheer, green based holo glitter polish. Here layered over China Glaze Paper chasing:

The base is incredibly sheer so this is definately a layering polish for me. It has both long stick-glitter and medium round, both types holo. Here I have only one coat, so it's not overly blingy, but gives a nice bit of oomph to PC. I think with a coat or two more it'd be a real showstopper. :-)

Color club ~ Foiled metallics swatches
And here they are in their full beauty. And oh my are they beauties. All of these are two coats, no topcoat except for Perfect Mol-ten. Behold:
Cold metal:
Medium denim blue. Daylight but sadly a mean cloud in front of the sun. These are truly jam packed with a fine silver glitter. you can see the "silver veins" in the bottle, and I was a bit worried about even application due to this, but it was not an issue at all. All in my imagination. Great colour, one of my top three.
Hot like lava:
Deep, medium pink. And by deep I don't really mean dark, but very saturated. This is definately not a barbie-pink. Cerise? It's pretty no matter what you decide to call it, that's for sure.
Lumin-icecent:
This was one of the colours I'd looked forward to the most. True icy blue. a light version of the blue you can see deep down in a glacier crevice. I won't say i was directly disappointed with this, but I had hoped it would pack a bit more of a punch. As it is it's more silvery-blue than icy-blue. But still a very pretty polish, and I shall cherish it for a long long time.
Foil me once:
Second pink of the collection. This is a lighter pink than Hot like lava. More pure "barbie" pink. I'm going to try this one as a stamping polish, but I can't really see myself wearing it as a regular mani. Nothing wrong with the polish, just not my cup of tea.
Antiquated:
Champage-pink foil. Very neutral and nice colour. Another one that doesn't necessarily scream "wear me" to me, but I can see this as a nice office polish without being too drab, and also I think it'll have a nice potential for stamping.
Perfect mol-ten:
This has a layer of Seche vite on top, as I decided this colour is so gorgeous I have to wear it as a full mani for a day atleast. Really stunning. I'm desperately trying to accurately describe this one, but I'm not sure I have the words. It's a bit like China Glaze Cherish, only less yellow, more silver and foil instead og frost. This was the one I wanted the most, and it did definately not disappoint! My favourite of the collection.
So to sum up. 4 awesome polishes and 2 ok. Great formula, good dry time. And at 3 bucks a pop I absolutely recommend everyone to get these. Are you getting any? All? Any obvious favourites?
