This collection left me a bit hungry for something sweet.I chose to eat a piece of pecan pie since I have none of the above desserts. LOL OHHHHH,This collection is totally missing pecan pie!!!Maybe that will be another collection. A light brown holo with copper flakies or glitter!!!!That would be my version of the Pecan pie holo polish.
