Above & Below: Opulent Cloud shown with 3 coats. I took so many pictures of this trying to capture the shifting icy violet to gray, but all I seem to have captured was the gray. It's a truly unique shade and the gold shimmer is lovely, but I wasn't thrilled with the formula.
Above & Below: Disc, shown with 3 coats. This is a pretty shade of copper that flashes the slightest hint of rose gold.
Above & Below: Gigabyte is a very frosty shade of baby pink and is shown in 2 coats. For as sheer as this looked in the bottle, it was surprisingly opaque in just 2 coats.
Below: Zip was oddly my favorite of this collection and is shown in 2 coats. It is a bright cherry red shade that has very fine gold shimmer throughout.

Sally Hansen recently released a 4 piece collection of more HD polishes which are limited editions. I don't know if any of these will move into their 8 piece permanent line of HD's, but with the popularity of Opulent Cloud, it seems possible. These can be found in various stores such as Walgreen's and Rite-Aid and are in a tabletop display with just 2 slots for each color. The formula on these is nothing special and honestly, Opulent Cloud and Disc were a little disappointing to me, formula-wise. I used 3 coats on both of those and I felt as if every little flaw showed up. Hmmm, it must be because they're HD! I didn't have that problem with the other 2, however. All in all, this is a nice little collection. The finishes are pretty, as they're all shimmers, and for such a small collection, it has a decent range of colors. Opulent Cloud is garnering the most attention and I'll agree that it is a unique shade. If I had to pick a favorite, I'd have to go with Zip simply because it applied so evenly and it's such a plush looking shade of red. The gold shimmer gives it some dimension and for some reason, this is the one that appealed to me most, although I thought Opulent Cloud would have been the one that stood out more.
