Dried Out
-03.14.13
Not that anyone is purchasing this anymore in 2013, but it was a cute a little set I bought on clearance for $7 during my Black Friday haul. I liked the idea of the same color just with different finishes: matte, glitter, shimmer. However, when my set arrived, one of them looked like the product had dried out and was separated. While it did only cost $7, I had planned to set it aside for a stocking stuffer if I decided not to use it. Instead, I returned it as damaged. Cute idea, but I didn't get to try it out.

Disapointed
-01.24.13
Quick Take: vibrant runny thin hard to work with, good packaging
The colors were fantastic, when you look at them in the bottle! Loved the packaging. It was so runny! The formula was terrible, it pooled at my cuticle, and I would have had to put at least 4 coats on to achieve even coverage. I returned the set to the store.

-01.08.13
Quick Take: pretty vibrant sparkly
I bought this for my daughter and she really likes it. The colors are bright and the quality seems good, as you don't need to put multiple coats on for the color to be opaque. I got a great deal on this at $7.00 I believe (clearance).

So pretty!
-12.18.12
Orange is one of my favorite colors so I was excited to buy this set. I had been on the hunt for the perfect orange glitter polish and I've finally found it! This tangerine shade is vibrant, beautiful, and garish all at the same time! I wouldn't say that the polish itself is long-lasting, but the colors are perfect!

These colors are pretty and I was excited to try them. One bottle was empty when my package arrived. No mess, no leaking, just empty. No complaints, just a fluke, I'm sure. Sending back.

Not so great
-12.16.12
Quick Take: cheap
I got these for $10 on black friday and I was so excited to get them but they are really poor quality. There is a shiny finish, matte finish, glitter, and glittery shiny finish. They chip off super easy, even with a base and top coat (I used sephora's base and top coat). The glitter nail polish is very pretty and I fel can be used both for December holiday parties and on Halloween. It really is the standout in this bunch. If it is more than $10, I would not suggest buying it. Not worth it.

Mixed-bag, still delightful
-12.13.12
Quick Take: fabulous
At $7 for the set of four it's really hard to complain (they are reasonably large bottles after all). I agree with a few of the other reviews that the "shimmer" one is pretty weak sauce; it may look nicer over another color as an accent. And definitely neither of the sparkly finishes worked with a single coat, but I got great results from three coats of the "glitter" polish. I think it looks amazing.
I tried the creamy, it's lovely also. I did one coat and it was shiny and opaque (sorry girls, I had no trouble with this one). No complaints on that one.
The matte finish is .... well, it's weird. Call me old-fashioned, but I guess I expect nail polish to have... well a shiny polish. It actually looks great aside from my matte-finish aversion, one easy coat for beautiful color.
I haven't had the "matte" or "creamy" on long enough to judge chipping, but I wouldn't be surprised; I always have that problem.
All in all, I'm happy with it. Probably wouldn't have spent $7 on EACH, but at $1.75 each.... totally worth it to have around in my arsenal.

Great colors ... but ...
-12.12.12
I love the matte color, but it chips so fast without a top coat, and once you use a top coat then its not matte. The other colors are lovely too ... just not sure this has the best staying potential. Oh well, was fun to experiment. The price makes it worth it.

Lovely colors, I just wish the brushes were better. Good coverage, and I love the Pantone packaging! My favorite one is the matte.

Disappointing
-12.08.12
Those are really not as great as I hoped for.
The mat is rather see through. not really mat, more dull then mat, and chipped (with base and top coats) after a day.
The cream is OK, not very opaque, takes three coats, chips in 2-3 days (with base and top coat).
The shimmer is really thin, mostly just transparent with a few shimmers.
The glitter is nice, take 3 coats over a couple of coats of the cream one to get nice glittery nails, hard to remove, but that's most glitter polish.
for 7$ it's sort of OK, I guess I'd be better with one polish I'm very happy with then 4 I'm sort of disappointed of.

2 out 4 ain't bad

Quick Take: bright, long-wear
The 2 glittery/sparkly ones are too much. Granted I am a professional young 30-something. The non-sparkly colors are gorgeous, long-lasting & beautiful.

-12.05.12
I got this on sale or $7 but it would've have been worth it full price. All the shades come out very vibrant and it dries fast. It also doesn't chip easily. I would definitely buy other polishes from this brand :)

This stuff goes on like glass. My manicurist said, "You did that?" No like! AMAZING color and gorgeous shiny, glass-like finish. Wish Sephora would team up with Pantone Universe on a more regular basis!

Great Product, Great Value
-11.23.12
Quick Take: fast-drying
The polishes are all the SAME lovely colour. The differences of the TYPE however make the product a delight to use. So far I've tried the matte and creme. I absolutely love the matte, as I've never tried a matte polish before. Try layering them because it's hours of family fun (haha). Dries very fast as well.
