Fly is a pretty creamy teal color. I wouldn't say that it's a very unique color as I have probably seen a similar teal color multiple times at the drug store and never once picked it up. However, being in THIS collection I had to purchase it! I know that I wouldn't wear this color multiple times but it is still a nice color to have. It's an easy polish to apply and I used 2 coats of polish.

Pink Friday is one of my favorite colors in this collection as I am a creamy pink kind of girl. However, the polish is a little chalky but with 2 thick coats it should even out. This color is also not the most unique color because really how many bubblegum pinks do you see??!! A LOT!

Save Me is my favorite polish in this collection! Mainly because I love glittery polishes! This polish has silver and blue glitter mixed with holographic bar glitter in a clear base. It's very easy to apply, a lot easier than other glitter polishes. Usually when I wear glitter polishes alone I have to use 4-5 coats of  polish to cover my nail but with this one I only used 3 coats which is awesome!

Metallic 4 Life is silver glitter with hexagon shaped glitter mixed in a black opaque base. I don't love this color but I don't hate it either. If you have a black polish and silver glitter polish you can easily create the same look. It goes on thicker than I expected but still very easy to apply, I used 3 coats.

Did It On Em' is a very interesting looking greenish yellow. I didn't purchase this color because it looked so similar to  2 colors in the OPI Shrek Collection. If you have Fiercely Fiona and Who the Shrek Are You? you will understand what I'm talking about. Did It On Em' is almost an exact mixture between these 2 colors. Who the Shrek Are You? is slightly darker  and has more of a greenish tint than Did It On Em'  and Fiercely Fiona is slighty lighter and has a more yellowish tint  than Did It On Em', but in my opinion all 3 colors are not the most attractive polishes on their own.  
Taken with flash and Super Bass Shatter

Super Bass Shatter is a purple shimmery shatter.  Out of all the shatter polishes this is by far my favorite color, I would have loved it more if it were just a normal polish since I'm not a huge shatter fan. However, I do like how Who the Shrek Are You? looks under Super Bass Shatter.  I had no problems applying this shatter and I used a medium coat of polish and since all shatter polished dry with a matte finish I used Seche Vite top coat for shine.

Overall, I'm not as excited about this collection as I thought I would be. Most of colors are dupable and are probably in most nail polish fanatics collection already! If I were to choose 2 colors to purchase I would probably only buy Pink Friday and Save Me as those colors are the ones I would wear most often.
