Hits Zeus is a high quality black holographic at a low price for a holo ($8). It's simply gorgeous. The holographic is high, under light (but pretty nonexistent indoors and not under light). And it wore like iron. Had on for a week and it had not even started wearing down at the edges!
Julep Daphne is a green-leaning turquoise cream. It wore pretty well, but did start chipping after about 4 days.
Both were super easy to remove and didn't stain the nails.

e.l.f. Desert Haze is one of my favorite e.l.f. nail polish shades. I have found them pretty hit or miss, but I can't complain about the price (approximately $2, though e.l.f.'s website is almost constantly running coupon codes that can cut it down a lot cheaper for a semi-big order). It's a very flattering neutral nude, almost patent-leather like color.
Unfortunately I cannot say that it ended up being a very good match up with Hare Polish in Bury the Hatchetfish.
They just didn't mesh with each other at all. Desert Haze is all class and safe choices and formality, while Bury the Hatchetfish is grunge and dressing down. I like both colors but I won't wear them together again.
e.l.f. Desert Haze was easy to work with, and goes opaque fast. Hare Bury the Hatchetfish is such a fascinating and unique polish, but it went on kind of lumpy and there is just something "off" about the formula that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I sort of felt like I wanted the base color to be either just a little lighter or darker (though perhaps then it would not be an accurate representation of a Hatchetfish). Still, I love the experimentalness of the color. It definitely makes me think of the deep ocean, fish, and mud. I will try it again by itself, and maybe use some Glitter Food to see if it lies more smoothly.
