I'm in love with this set! All of the colors make a great fall/winter color set. The nail polishes smell like a lighter version of regular polish but the smell disappears fast. They also dry quick and strong. Holiday Fling is a very dark cherry when applied. All of the colors are true to their picture although Holiday Fling and Little Plum Dress will probably apply darker. All of the colors are matte (except Drippin' Gold) but Under the Sea has an extremely fine silver glitter in it making it metallic. I'm actually very thrilled about this because you can't tell in the picture. I definitely recommend this set!
