I've shown them all with glossy and satin topcoats, in natural light, sunlight, and t5 full spectrum lights.
Besides some differences in opacity these all have the same formula. Good viscosity, no flooding or pulling,stays where you put it. removes easily like a creme. The shimmer is very fine and can be difficult to completely remove from skin.

AHOOL

Ahool-a gold to green to blue pastel multichrome with purple at the extremes.

I used 3 coats plus topcoat. The purple shift is subtle but can be seen in the bottle and my satin topcoated photo. The Ahool is a giant bat or flying primate creature believed to be found in Java and Indonesia.

BUNYIP

Bunyip-a pale pink to lime green to gold pastel multichrome with bright blue at the extremes.

3 coats with topcoats, slight visible nail line at some angles. I think this is the most interesting cryptid because it's so obscure. Of Australian Aboriginal origins, it has been described as a water spirit resembling something like an enormous starfish. 19th Century sightings describe it as having a dog-like face, crocodile-like head, dark fur, horse-like tail, flippers, walrus-like tusks, or a duck-like bill.
