I used 3 coats of each and as usual, no top coat for my swatches. And I was curious how they'd look matte, so I tried that out as well.

My photos show it a bit too orange, it's more peachy.

The application of GBB was fine and could've probably gotten away with 2 coats as well. But the other 2 polishes were thinner, slightly runny even, and they really needed those 3 coats.
I thought Boho Chic would be a tad too orange for my liking, and unfortunately, it indeed is. But I still think it's quite a nice polish, and who knows, I used to dislike green/blue on my nails as well =)
Cookie Love I wasn't sure about, but I think it doesn't match well with my skintone at all! So if you're as pale as I am, but are doubting because of all the pretty shiny shimmer as well, just leave it I'd say.
Gorgeous Bling Bling is a color that I thought I'd find too old red, too brown, if that makes sense, but noes! I actually really liked this one and it's my favorite of these 3.
What do you think of these?
