This is the second installment of the Fall/Winter collex from Serum No. 5, for Part 1 click here. Samba-dy to Love reminds me of that Jim Carrey movie The Cable Guy, and very few nail polishes remind me of movies, since I'm not much of a movie buff. Anyway, this one is a gorgeous red glittery mix, that I'm sure can be worn alone, but I liked it better layered. The pics probably don't do it justice, it is really gorgeous in real life. It's going to be perfect for X-mas. Rise and Grind is a repromote, I've swatched before here. I think the formula and color haven't changed, I couldn't tell any differences. The color is a subtle brown and the shimmer is gold and sparkly. Best Witches was meant to be for Halloween, I assume. It is really something else, this is a wonderful mix of grays and pinks, the pink glitters are a really unique shade. Second Spring is pretty self explanatory, it looks like a bouquet of flowers. It was a lovely glittery mix on a beige shimmery base. However, both Best Witches and Second Spring required 2 coats of topcoat, they are very gritty and dry very fast and are almost like a textured nail polish. In fact, I suggest to add a coat of basecoat or topcoat in between the two coats of nail polish, because these are both packed 'thirsty' glitters. I honestly liked all of these equally, If I were going to get a couple I would just get the set with all four "mini" bottles instead, because they are a decent size and each come with their box.
