603 has a mix of blue/green and yellow/red mylar flakes in a clear base.

Hmmminnnnah hummmminah hawow! I'm blown away! So much color from just one coat! It goes on beautifully and isn't thick or gloppy like some flakies. I love everything about it, though it is a bit smellier than most polishes. That seems to be a thing with Dance Legend in general. They're just a bit stinky. Not as bad as Nabi or e.l.f. though. 603 could smell like vinegar and I'd still love it!
...and mattified....even better! You can see how the flakes overlap and interact and shift and...just....wow...
I was a tiny bit worried it might be a bit dupey to one of the FingerPaints Special Effect topcoats, so I compared it to Asylum and Twisted. No dupes! Not even close!

607 has holographic microglitter and dense blue-to-purple duochrome microfleck shimmer in a clear base.

I'll admit it, this was a complete whim purchase. I won't say I regret it exactly, but I could easily layer-dupe 607 with a separate flecked topper and glitter. Oh well. It's still awesome, but if I had thought about the order longer I might not have bought it. Then again I might have talked myself out of the order entirely and not have 603...so I don't really mind if 607 tagged along. I do really love it. Not surprising since I have numerous things I could combine to dupe it. Having admitted that, let's simply enjoy how pretty it is....because...it is!
It manages to keep from being too kitchen sinky because you don't get the full effect of the duochrome and holo bits at the same time. They trade off and keep it from looking cluttered. In bright light the microfleck mostly becomes as blue background for holo twinkle.
In the right light and at the right angles, the whole thing goes starts going purple.
At extremes it's very very purple.
Bottom line: Unquestionable and resonating YES to 603! Sure, it's a bit pricey, but all of the interesting flakies out there are spendy. It costs way less than most of the Finger Paints Special Effects flakies run on ebay these days. Awesome flakies will always be a splurge risk for me. 607 though? Well...it's beautiful, but if you have a holo microglitter top coat and a similar duochrome microfleck topper, you can layer dupe it.
I hope Color4Nails gets the rest of these...but I also kinda hope they don't! Major splurge risk!
I love your use "spendy".
