NO NO NOOOOOOO! *marks calendar anyway while wallet cries

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Noooo I’m sorry 😅

[@deanaskeen6710]

Same 😭😭😭 my wallet is hurting from all the non stop Fall/Halloween launches

[@CandyHearts91]

I watched this video over and over telling myself I didn’t need the whole collection but ended up buying the whole collection. Lol. Luckily I saved for this month. Love your videos as always.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

You’re going to love every polish! Thank you!

[@AugustTien]

'The Man in Red' is the most insane red I've ever seen, how is it cool and warm at the same time? BKL always be going off with their shifts!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Yes! It’s unreal. I love it 🥰

[@blooskies]

The collection is beautiful but I also really appreciate your nail length!!! As someone with a similar nail length, watching your videos has inspired me to be more daring with my polish choices ♥

[@CaitlinSwatches]

That makes me so happy to hear!

[@indie.polish.fiend.]

Omg Puppy People!!! All of them are so gorgeous… goodbye to my moneyyy!!!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Your nails will be so pretty and happy! I need more fingers to wear them all

[@indie.polish.fiend.]

@@CaitlinSwatches I definitely need more fingers and toes! This collection is AMAZING! Every one is just perfect. I’m currently on a mission to stock up on BKL since the shop is closing soon.

That giant peachy shimmer is incredible. I want everything with that shimmer!!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Yes! It’s absolutely amazing!

[@levikiddd]

this collection is so good it goes head to head with lore of Olympus as my favorite from bkl, gorgeous showcase of the polishes!!!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Lore Olympus is my favourite BKL collection ever too. This is a close second!

[@luciditykitty2960]

LOL @ DNF, "Didn't look up what it means, but probably something scary" 🥰 "Turn Back" is a gorgeous fall color! Honestly, I wasn't impressed that much until you went into the sun. 😍 Your comparisons finger next to finger was very helpful! Also, your top is beautiful!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

😂😂 thank you so much!

[@ariana5691]

DNF in Formula 1 means “did not finish”, that’s the first thing that popped into my head 😂

[@Ishani933]

I'm fairly new in the world of indie polishes. Had I known of these polishes during their release date, I would've grabbed them in a heartbeat. So pretty! I'm not always a fan of red polishes on my nails (though they look nice on others), but these reds with the interesting shimmers and shifts look fun.

[@SabinaKozar]

Congratulations on the 5th anniversary, Bee's Knees lacquer! 🥳You are the best, love all your polishes!🥰🥰🥰

[@CaitlinSwatches]

🥰🥰🥰🥰 we love BKL

[@JambolinasWorld]

"Thats how I self identify" I lost it🤣 you are a frigging gem!!!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Haha thank you 😇

[@lightofdawne]

DNF typically stands for Did Not Finish as a placement in races and such, though Radio Rental could certainly be using it to stand for something else.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Ahhh thank you!!

[@katkooiman2850]

It is also in reference to quitting a book you don't like

[@tetra_nel]

I keep telling myself that I don't need all of them, but your swatches make me think otherwise!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I am making it hard for you to narrow down your list!

[@ShannaHart-PaintoPolish]

I think this is the first time I want the entire collection. Loved the comparisons! It's even nice to see ones from the same collection side by side.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I’m so glad you love them!

[@TrinaJulianEdwards]

These are all so beautiful! Magnetics and super sheer polishes aren't usually my thing, but I'll probably end up getting most of the collection as always! 🙈

[@CaitlinSwatches]

BKL can do no wrong! Even if I don’t typically love a certain finish (ahem, reflective glitters) BKL still manages to make me love it.

[@GenericFunName]

obviously the polishes are beautiful too, but omg your top is perfect 😍

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Thank you!! It’s actually a dress LOL It’s a lot of yellow and shininess

[@teebee3110]

There is so many great colors that I want . I would have to say puppy people is my favorite. Definitely want the cuticle oil too. Thanks for the great swatches Caitlin.

I had to stick to 2 polishes this launch but I got puppy people(because your swatch!) and the hurricane charity polish. Also grabbed a LUL in nuts about you. So excited!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Those are great choices!! You’ll love them.

[@Poorstargazer23]

The puppy people is such a mystical witchy color. I can tell it'll be a favorite of mine and with BKL closing idk when or if I'll be able to get a back up later so I I bought 2 and came back to watch the swatch of it again. Plus...sale prices 😈 Have you seen the swatches of the mystery polish you got or are you waiting to be surprised?

I grabbed Pakistan! I saw a spoiler and fell in love.

Thanks for the video and comparisons Caitlin! I like how you showed In Good Sprits next to Lius Remember. I could see myself wearing that as a pretty Red/Pink complimentary combo!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Oh yes that would be beautiful together!

[@WildMoonLacquer]

Wow, another stunning collection! I am wearing The Lius Remember right now, and it has shot to my favorite polish of the year! I am contemplating the group custom since it is another Lion sibling, but I also have a bunch from the new collection on my wishlist. Another dangerous month to be a wallet lol! 😹😹💸💸💸💸

This really is a dangerous month! No kidding!

Aww yay! Thank you so much. That polish is incredible 😍

[@christinesteiner7023]

As always beautiful swatches - I wear my nails equally short and appreciate your swatches so much! Glad I skipped PPU this month so the 6 on my wishlist might actually land in my stash 💖

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Team Short nails!!

[@Sonsbitchesall]

I love that everyone is in love with the “Olympic Lore” collection, Because these types of polishes that are sheer with a strong shimmer remind us of opals, ect. They’re truly just gorgeous!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Opals are a great comparison!

[@Sonsbitchesall]

I can’t pick a favorite! That Duochrome with the Emerald Glitter?! No one does polish like that. Also, it’s great that BKL adds different coloured reflective glitters. The catch the light wonderfully and it’s awesome !

I had JUUUUUST used the Apple Of My Eye oil on my nails before watching this! Love it!! Love these colors! I'm not a fan of sheers but theirs apply so well that I'm definitely getting those UPs! One reason I don't tend to like sheers is my VNL are not consistent or even. Plus I have white patches on my nail tips sometimes that just don't look good under sheers.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

[@screamingmimi90]

Caitlin, your videos have inspired me to take better care of my nails and take a break from gel. Your healthy nails also made me want to try some of these gorgeous polishes. But when I saw Turn Back my jaw just dropped. It’s the first polish I’ve seen that made me say “I have to have that!” I’m so glad I’m able to get it in the respawn. I’m new to indie nail polish and I don’t know how PPU works. Can anyone buy stuff? Do I need to register? Is there a central place to buy? How do I make sure you get credit for the sale? Does it even work that way? Sorry for so many questions. If you can direct me to something I can read I’d appreciate it. I haven’t been able to find an explanation anywhere. Thank you for making such beautiful videos. They are extremely soothing and help me relax. Warm wishes from Minnesota! ❤❤❤

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Oh yay! For PPU, it's just that the sale is only open the first friday of the month at 11 am est until Monday at 11:59 p.m. It's best to make an account (which is free to do and you can do it on the site now) because you can save a wishlist so you pick what you want ahead of time and then add it to your cart when the shop opens. The shop is now "loaded" with everything available on Friday so you can peruse it now. They usually load the shop on the Sunday before the sale starts each month. And I don't get any credit - i am not affiliated with PPU. Hope that helps!

[@annagracehow]

I love the colour scheme for this collection but was feeling pretty strong that while gorgeous it wasn't really for Me Personally...And then that Facebook custom oh no. Whelp looks like I won't be taking a pass over on this month after all.

[@evareimer9332]

You’re going to love it!! Wildflower Lacquer has a few but sadly no other ghostly polishes I recommend are currently available 🥲

[@metaljane666]

Hi! Love watching your swatch vids! If you have time, may I ask, how much time you let your nails dry between coats and after the final topcoat? Do you use a dryer or something? I always get some smoosh after finishing bc idk I tried to rush it?

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Thank you! I let my nails dry 5 mins between coats max. Usually 2-3 mins and then top coat. I use quick drying top coat (mentioned in the description of the video) which dries enough for me to go about my day in 5 mins. The key is thin coats to prevent smooshing.

[@laurachapman3157]

Beautiful swatches as always! This is going to be a rough release! The struggle will be real with all these beauties! How does the large particle shimmer compare to the large particle multichromes from last release? I know the colors were different last month, but just wondering how the shimmers compare to the first few, no so much the purple ones, but the orange, red, green, etc. from the first part. 🤔 Thank you again!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

They’re very different. I was going to include them in my comparisons but they were so different, I didn’t end up including. Oops! They have somewhat of a similar visual effect but the colours are all very different.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Hi there! I took them out to compare and they are really nothing alike aside from the fact that they are both in the pink family. Act of Wrath is much lighter with many colour shifts that almost obscure the base. Whereas Earliest Memories is much deeper in tone and only has UP which shifts green and red. Hope that helps.

Caitlin, would you say the Man In Red is more of a pink/magenta ish vs a firetruck red? Or is it my monitor making it look kind of berry-ish?

It’s deeper than a fire truck red but not quite berryish. It’s got some deeper undertones that don’t make it look like a pure red if that makes sense.
