The Glam Goth Collection by Ulta is a limited edition of 5 dark and vampy shades for fall. Each shade is a mini bottle at 0.24 fl oz. I’ve actually never tried an Ulta polish before, so this was my first experience with their nail polishes. At the Ulta I went to, this was the last set they had. I’m not entirely sure when this came out, but you might want to check your local Ulta fairly quickly if you are interested. The collection retails for $9.95 at Ulta.

One thing I didn’t like about this collection – and with many lacquers that have “mini” sets, is that the polishes are not named. You have to look at the back of the packaging to see what the names are, but each individual bottle is not marked.

Black Lace is a charcoal grey creme. It is not black, but is a great dark shade.

Tainted Love is the shade I was most excited about. This is supposedly very similar to a polish called “Project Runway,” from the old salon line by Sally Hansen, before they redid their polish line. I believe that shade was an limited edition shade, exclusive to Canada. Not sure if it’s a dupe to that shade or not, but I love this shade. A beautiful shimmery green, with gold shimmer. Almost looks like it has some glitter in it, but I think it’s still shimmer. I used two coats here, with the first coat being quite sheer. Love it. This is my favorite of the collection.

For Bitten is a red-black with multi-colored glitter. Has very pretty brown, red, pink, and gold glitter. Two coats is a must for this polish. I’m not big on glitter shades, but glitter fans will love this one.

After Hours is a dark purple (almost blurple) with subtle  purple and pink shimmer.

Underground is a dark blue that leans teal with subtle teal shimmer. In the bottle, it looks like it has a greenish tint. You could get away with one coat with a heavy hand, but this is two.
