Alter Ego Brite Puppy is a highlighter yellow jelly with iridescent rainbow micro glitter. I wore it in four thin coats and it still had some translucency. It will appear warmer on the nail due to the color of your nail bed. It has a great dry time and needs top coat to smooth.
Inspiration: Rainbow Brite characters
Price: $10 / no cap
Anchor & Heart Lacquer Hawaiian Song is a turquoise jelly with lime/aqua/teal multichrome iridescent flakes and gold metallic flakes. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. It has a nice, quick-drying formula and needs top coat to smooth.
Inspiration: the book The Good Song written by Alexandria Giardino and inspired by the songs "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" and "What A Wonderful World", as performed by Hawaiian native, singer/songwriter and activist Israel Kaʻanoʻi Kamakawiwoʻole. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the nonprofit ALU LIKE, Inc.

Great Lakes Lacquer Rainbow Gardens Galore is a cement gray jelly with holo microflakes and red/pink/orange/yellow/green multichrome iridescent flakes. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. It had a good dry time and needs top coat to smooth due to the flakes.
Inspiration: Animal Crossing New Horizons and the endless iterations of the rainbow garden that everyone seemed to create for their island.

Peachtree Polish Mermaid Hair, Don't Care is a brilliant magenta jelly with teal-to-magenta duochrome iridescent microflakes, green and teal holo shred glitters, and dark purple and navy hex glitters. I wore it in four thin coats, but two or three will cover. It dried quickly and was a tiny bit on the thick side due to the glitters, but was very manageable. It needs a couple layers of top coat to smooth. If you use fewer coats, there is less texture.
Inspiration: The beautiful hair style of large strands of hair colored in rainbow colors.
