Strawberry is one of my new favorite shades!! The indoor pictures really show the pink, but I'd say this is a somewhat pink-tinted neon orange.

I wanted to mention that I did have some trouble with this polish chipping after the first day. I'm not sure if I didn't clean my nails well before applying, if work created the issue, or if it was the polish itself, but I thought I should make mention of it. I will update if I continue to have the same issue with future manis.

Sweet Orange is a very good name for this warm, bright neon orange.

Limon is a bright neon yellow-green. The swatches below make it appear more yellow, but in person I think it looks more green.

I kept passing up Silver, and I'm really kicking myself for that!
It's not just your basic silver holo. Aly put some sort of slick silver shimmer in it that looks like flecks of real silver, and it makes the whole look shiny and gorgeous!
