All these shades have pretty much the exact same formula, easy to apply with full opacity on two coats. Most of them have a tinted base color, but one is in a clear base. I didn't really have to scrub to get these off, they are easier to remove than a traditional glitter, but there can be sparkly bits left behind on your skin if you're not careful. These are pictured without top coat, but you only need one layer of top coat to get a completely smooth finish.
Garnet is a deepened brownish red for January. This is a cool interpretation of the garnet stone, more brown than I would have expected, but it works beautifully.
Amethyst is a rich red toned purple for February. Super gorgeous!
Aquamarine is a pale blue for March. This is very lightly tinted, but definitely a blue, as you'll see compared to the silver of the next shade.
Diamond is a bright silver in a clear base for April. BLINGTASTIC!
Emerald is a rich grass green for May. Greens are a weakness of mine, and this is fabulous!
Black Pearl is a dusty black toned shade for June. Love the twist on the pearl, having a dark version. Slight greenish tone which makes it even more complex.
Ruby is a bright cherry red for July. Not my favorite shade of red, but very flattering.
Peridot is a pale lime green for August. This was a surprising favorite of mine, nice and unique.
Sapphire is a rich navy leaning blue for September. Reminds me of a night sky full of stars! Incredible!
Pink Tourmaline is a vibrant pink for October. This would be lovely in any month, so girly!
Citrine is golden yellow for November. I liked this naturally because I love gold, it feels so luxe!
Blue Topaz is an icy blue for December. Beyond sparkly!

What do you think of this collection? I am head over heels! Very cool interpretation of the birthstones. I love that there is the same finish in every color, letting you pick your favorite shade or birth month. These are also perfect for gift giving! My favorite has to be Blue Topaz, but Sapphire, Diamond and Peridot are also tops!
