I bought these polishes planning to stamp them over black polish. Unfortunately, the polishes weren't nearly as bright as what's shown on the website. I could barely see them over black, so I'm a little disappointed. I do think Evil Eye and Poison will make great Christmas shades and Cauldron will be nice for snowflake designs. I'll just have to stamp these polishes over light colors, so they show up better.

The Darkest Night: 3-Piece metallic polish set turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The contents of the bottles, with the silvery swirls make the metallic stamping polish look more like a 'Brightest Day" polish, instead of the entitled "Darkest Night" polish. Either way, and whatever it's named, it stamps out into a rich, pigment dense colour.

They work as beautiful base colors as well as fabulous stamping colors. They are great for Halloween and Christmas themes! Only drawback is that the red stains and tends to smudge. So be careful with Evil Eye!

I have to share that I bought this set to accompany the plates Potions 101 and Bewitched and I was not disappointed- when you buy this set, and Daffodil- BOOM! you have all four of the Hogwarts houses to go along with the crests in the picture! SERIOUSLY- any HP fan needs this- if time for Halloween- or at least CHristmas! I will try to post some pics if I can ever do them without messing up my hands like crazy!!

I usually use regular polish to stamp with. I LOVE these colors and quality of this product.
