Ms Sparkle was inspired by vintage toys to create “Kawaii”, which will be $11.00 with no cap.
Kawaii is a vivid red crelly with holographic microflakies, aurora pigment, and black and white matte glitters. This shade was opaque in 2 coats of polish for me.

Turtle Tootsie created “A Hero in His Own Mind”, inspired by Marvel. This shade will retail for $11.00 and will have no cap.

JReine created “Cajun Wonderland” which was inspired by New Orleans in the winter. This shade will retail for $12.50 and has a cap of 200 bottles.
This polish is a white crelly with a strong red shimmer, red-green aurora shimmer, and red-gold flakies. This polish will really get you in the mood for the holiday season and snow! I used three coats of polish for my swatch photos. I also want to point out that I found the red shimmer to be much stronger in person, but difficult to capture on camera.
Finally, the last shade I have to share for the November pre-order is from My Indie Polish. “Ian is My Hero” is a thermal inspired by Ian from Shameless. This polish will be $13.00 and has a 75 bottle cap.
Ian is My Hero is an an orange to yellow thermal with red shimmer, copper holographic glitter, and holographic pigments. I used three coats for my swatch photos.
Here’s a shot of this shade in its warm state; I want to point out that I found this shade to be a little more peach-toned in person than it ended up appearing in my swatch photos!
