Broccoli & Chocolate (new to me KL Polishes)

I was thinking I had posted at least the bottle pictures of my new KL Polishes that I got, but I looked back and apparently I haven't. (I've been watching planner videos on YouTube - clearly one kind of planning/recordkeeping I need to work on is to do a better job on keeping up with what I've blogged about and what I haven't!!) A couple of weeks ago KL Polish had a "bundle sale" - I know I've seen that promo before, I think they do them a couple of times a year. They had pre-made-up bundles or you could make your own at a discount. Basically I try not to buy KL Polishes at full price since they do have sales quite a lot. (Plus there's that "ambassador" coupon code which you should be able to find in the description box of various people's channels - here's one on Allie's - if there's no other sale going on.)

So this is my "bundle" - there's not a theme to this, it's just random polishes that I wanted and didn't already have.
Matanzas is from the new summer collection (Havana Heat), MIA is from last year's summer collection (which was Miami-themed, I think this is supposed to mean MIA like the airport code), and then Broccoli & Chocolate, which is apparently a very old Mary-Kate & Ashley song? I looked it up so I'll put it at the bottom for other people who are not familiar with this! (I can't be the only one, right?) Anyway, this was from the first KL collection which was in late 2016.

You can't tell from the picture above about Matanzas - it's super-shimmery and doesn't really look a dark as it does here (you can see the swatch for it at the top of the wheel pictured below, actually). But MIA, especially, does look about like it does in the bottle above. It's almost neon (not quite) and pearlescent and has a blue flash.

Broccoli & Chocolate, OTOH, is just a plain brown creme. I bought it because it seemed like a cool brown rather than a warm one, but I haven't really tried it out yet.

As mentioned above, infant Olsen twins - I can't believe I'm posting this but I've seen the name of this polish for ages and now that I've finally bought it I started to feel like I needed to understand the reference. (Luckily I didn't find it catchy enough that it'll give me earworms, or at least I hope not!!)
