The collection will feature an exclusive duo that is only available on Gloss48: Rows Her Boat and Sold on Gold You can try Alter Ego duos for $14 (reg $17) for one week here.

But for now, I have six amazing Alter Ego polishes to share with you.

Let's take a look! These polishes have a satin, almost matte finish. I have a top coat on each swatch. Most satin/matte finishes require you to wait until each coat is dry before applying additional coats. Apply thin layers and wait between coats.

Jewelry Box Ballerina is a soft and delicate powder pink polish. It has a textured appearance that gives it depth and dimension. This is two coats with a top coat.
