Sexual Hel-ium:
Sexual Hel-ium is a feisty fuchsia jelly with an array of pink and silver holographic glitters swimming throughout! It actually goes on opaque in 2-3 coats and is not as "see through" in person as it appears in some of the pictures! It's probably one of my favorite polishes I've made--it makes you feel fabulous and girly when you wear it! Barbie would've killed for this polish. Sexual Hel-ium is a shout out to Marvin Gaye's song from the 80's and is named after the lightest, squeak-iest of the noble gases, the second element, Helium!
Neon Lights:
Neon Lights is a clear polish filled with neon pink and neon yellow matte glitters. The mixture of glitters makes it appear almost orange and looks great over an orange base! The nail-wheel swatches show 2 coats of Neon Lights over white, over orange, and 3 coats by itself! It's a great as a layering polish or can be worn alone. The swatches on my nails show 2 coats of Neon Lights over 2 coats of orange, making it look fire-y and awesome! Neon Lights is named after the 10th element: Neon!
Ar-gon with the Wind:
Ar-gon with the Wind is a light and airy polish with fine light blue matte glitters and various-sized white hex glitters. The glitters are in a clear base (it's actually very, very light blue, but we'll go ahead and say clear here hah!). Ar-gon with the Wind is meant as a layering polish and the nail wheel swatches show 2 coats over white, 2 coats over blue, and 3 coats by itself! This polish is named appropriately for the 18th element, argon, and one of the best classic movies of all time: Gone With the Wind! And if you don't like it, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! :)
Kryptonite:
Kryptonite is a light green polish with fine iridescent green/yellow glitters, white bar glitters, and is the ultimate weakness of Superman! This polish, like the fictional radioactive element, glows in the dark! This polish goes on opaque in 2-3 coats and is named after the 36th element, krypton! The name is also a shout-out to Superman's greatest weakness--but don't worry, it's not harmful to us humans.
Xenon: Warrior Princess:
Xenon: Warrior Princess is another layering glitter that, after three coats, can be worn on its own! She is a clear-based polish with matte pink, purple, and white fine glitters! She's tough as nails and kicks butt on a nail wheel over white (2 coats), pink (1 coat), and all by herself (3 coats). Xenon: Warrior Princess is the girlier sister of Xena and is named after the 54th element, xenon!
Don't Rad-on My Parade:
Don't Rad-on My Parade is a teal based polish with a fine, gold holographic shimmer that reminds me of mermaids. She's much prettier on the nail than in these pictures--they just don't do her justice. For full opacity 2-3 coats are needed and you'll be left with a lovely teal and gold shimmer to show off to all your rainy-day friends. This polish is to honor my supposed doppelganger, Barbara (my co-workers are crazy), and her song from the musical Funny Girl, "Don't Rain on my Parade." It's also named after the 86th element, radon, discovered by my dear friends Pierre and Marie Curie in 1899.
Ununoctium:
Uunoctium (un-un-ock-tee-um), is another one of those crazy named, recently discovered elements! Number 118 to be exact! The polish it is named for is a bright neon peachy-pink glitter! Ununoctium has a light neon pink jelly base with iridescent neon pink glitters and a few random iridescent flakies hidden inside. This color goes on opaque with only a little bit of visible nail line left after 3 coats, but can also be used as a layering glitter! It's a color that is perfect for summer and would look great with a tan!
The Actinides Collection
89 Actn-ium My Age
92 Yellow Cake
93 King Neptunium
94 Pluto-nium's No Longer a Planet
99 E=mc^2
Actin-ium My Age:
Actin-ium My Age is a purple holographic polish with holographic silver glitter, iridescent glitter, and large and small purple glitters! It looks amazing on the nail in the sun, and provides full coverage in 2 coats (although photograph show polish with 3 coats). It's named for the 89th element: actinium!
Yellow Cake:
Yellow Cake is a yellow-based semi-textured polish that includes some fine yellow and white glitters! And it glows in the dark! This polish goes on opaque in 2-3 coats (photos shown with three and no top coat), and dries a little matte (I wouldn't call it a matte polish, but it's not super shiny either!). This polish is named for a form of uranium oxide nicknamed yellow cake, uranium being the 92nd element!
King Neptunium:
King Neptunium is a teal-based polish that includes fine blue, green, and teal hex glitter along with small silver holographic and large hex silver glitters! This polish goes on opaque in 3 coats (photos shown with three and no top coat). This polish is named for the 93rd element, neptunium, and is a reference to the Roman god of the sea, Neptune. Also if you're a history nerd like me you might have heard of King Neptune, the pig navy mascot used during WW2 to sell war bonds :)
Plutonium's No Longer a Planet :
Plutonium's No Longer a Planet (mouthful name, I know!) is a blue-based semi-textured polish that includes some fine teal and blue hex glitter along with a bit of blue bar glitter! It also glows in the dark! This polish goes on opaque in 2-3 coats (photos shown with three and no top coat), and dries a little matte (I wouldn't call it a matte polish, but it's not super shiny either!). This polish is named for the 94nd element, plutonium, and is a shout-out to our old retired planet, Pluto!
E=mc^2 :
E=mc^2 is a light grey based polish that includes various sizes of black and silver hex glitters! This polish goes on opaque in just 2 coats (first 3 photos show 2 coats, last one on a nail wheel shows 3 coats) and is named for the 99th element einsteinium! Einstein is one my my favorite scientists ever and I wanted to make a cool white/grey based polish with black glitter to honor his crazy hair!
The Halogens Collection
9 Fluorine Green
17 Chlorine Sheen
35 Easy Bro!-Mine
53 Iodine-ing Out
85 Red Queen Astatine
117 Unuseptium
Fluorine Green:
Fluorine Green is a white shimmery polish with a green undertone and a slight duochrome-ness to it. It appears a few shades of green in different lighting, but the duochrome is quite subtle. This polish is named for the 9th element, fluorine. This photo shows one coat of Fluorine Green over black!
Chlorine Sheen:
 |
| You can see a bit of the duochrome-ness here |
Chlorine Sheen is probably my favorite in the collection. It's also a clear/iridescent shimmery polish, but it's got a deep royal purple undertone. The duochrome in this polish is more obvious and ranges from a bright purple to a dark purple, almost blue color. It's very bright and shiny, which is what I like about it! These pictures are without topcoat, over black. Chlorine Sheen is named for chlorine, the 17th element.
Easy Bro!-Mine:

| Booo I messed this one up a little |
Iodine-ing Out:
Iodine-ing Out is a different color, I think! I like yellow a lot, so it's also one of the polishes I like most in this collection. Unfortunately while I thought I got a lot of good pics of this, up close only one really turned out well. This polish is a shimmer with yellow undertones and like Easy Bro-Mine! has a slightly metallic appearance over black. In my chemistry labs, iodine, the 53rd element, that we dealt with was in solution and was yellow, which helped me in naming this polish!
Red Queen Astatine:
Red Queen Astatine is the most duochrome polish in this collection. The color you see in the bottle is generally how the other polishes look, with their respective color undertone (in the other pics, the bottle is tilted so you can see the shimmer). Red Queen Astatine is a white shimmer polish with a reddish-purple undertone. On the nail, Red Queen Astatine changes from orange to red to purple. This polish is named for the 85th element, astatine. This polish is shown swatched over black.
Here are some additional pics I took of my whole hand, I skittled these on my nails because I was too lazy to do a whole mani with each one :)

Iron Man-ia:
Iron Man-ia is a red jelly based polish that consists of both fine red and gold glitter and large holographic gold hex glitter. It needs three coats to become opaque, but there's a decent amount of glitter, so if you were using it as a layering polish, one coat would probably do. Named for iron, the 26th element, and a little bit of comic book nerdiness as well :)
Co-Balt of Lightning:
Co-balt of Lightning is a duochrome polish that changes from teal to blue to navy to purple depending on the lighting. All of the pictures shown above are with one coat of polish over black in window lighting. It goes on pretty smooth and one coat is definitely all you need over a dark polish! You may need to zoom in to see all the colors, I just couldn't capture them with my camera! Co-balt of Lightning is named after the 27th element, cobalt, and was inspired by the color "cobalt blue"!

Fool's Gold:
I wish I had painted my nails with this on a day it was sunny! This is three coats of Fool's Gold in artificial lighting and I just couldn't capture the vibrant gold glitter that's in this polish! It's a metallic gold based polish with various sized gold and holographic gold glitters! I'm not into golds, usually, but this is one of my favorites. And it's appropriately named after the 79th element: gold!
That's it for now! Keep an eye up on my Etsy shop if you're interested in buying any of them! I've got a few random other frankens I've made (specifically for my mom), but they aren't for sale at this time, although they could be in the future!
