@gacat123 Unfortunately, I seem to think I need "all the polishes." And, yeah, the more unusual, the more I need.
I bet the DH polish would look beautiful by itself! I can just picture it on a former coworkers nails. Sadly, my nails aren't as perfect as hers and I need a bit more opacity to cover the white free edge, varying length (always seem to have one nail that has to get filed back) and at least one or two nails that are peeling.
I don't recall ever reading or hearing that the original Starry Starry Night had "unicorn pee" in it. The rerelease is definitely not the same. Multiple Youtubers have indicated that Essie should have given the polish a new name since the new version is a pretty polish on its own, just pales in comparison to the original. Honestly, I seem to like these types of polishes better in the bottle than I do on my nails. Here's a blog with a comparison of the two versions. If you scoll down, there's also a comparison of the original version and KB Shimmer Carpe Denim, which I do have and like.
I couldn't find the WSJ article. But I did find at least three articles from early 2014 on discontinued polish hunting. All were using Essie Starry Starry Night and Clarins 230 as examples. All referred to Clarins 230 as the "unicorn pee" polish. Honestly, I've already done the "hunt for collectible" thing with LPs and CDs. Even with them, while I probably paid a bit more that I should have a few times, I passed on lots of items because they just weren't worth the going rate to me. Most of the polish I buy is limited edition. Will any of it end up being worth more than I paid? Who knows. I'm buying what appeals to me, so I don't particularly care.
Let's see...what I took off...Prety and Polished I Have Better Shift To Do. My nails don't show the tri-color shift.

So...Here's a blog link that shows the tri-color shift a bit better.
As far as what I currently have on. Girly Bits King Candy, I'm just going to provide the best link I could find.. I can't capture the beauty of this polish as well (and it's way prettier than shown).
