Sweet Treat is the fourth and last polish from the excellent Halloween 2015 collection by Israel-based indie polish maker Superficially Colorful, released this past fall. Creator Jin describes this as "a red leaning orange holographic polish with a jelly-like finish." To my eye, it's a wonderful rich medium-toned, well-saturated tawny or burnt orange, a dark orange with a kiss of sepia that gives it a very earthy, organic quality. It reminds me of kim chee and young chili paste and Heinz 57 and all kinds of delectable spicy, saucy things. Yum! Finely-milled holographic pigment works subtly to give it dimension, depth and a certain glow that is most becoming on the nail.
Application was great! The consistency of Sweet Treat is fluid, creamy and dense with a medium viscosity and a velvety, self-leveling glide over the nail. Pigmentation is excellent with near-wearable coverage in one coat and completely even opacity in two. Cleanup is a little tricky due to pigment travel and trace staining, and I'd strongly advise going for as clean a manicure as possible at the outset to avoid having to deal with this. Sweet Treat dries naturally in very good time to a beautiful glossy finish.

Such a gorgeous bold, dense color and so chic for fall! Of course, it's working on spring now here -- we have daffodils and deciduous magnolia blooming in the yard -- but that doesn't stop me from appreciating this spicy number right now! It's overcast today, but Helena's review photos on Lacky Corner show that Sweet Treat morphs into a burnished, semi-metallic beauty in direct sun. Personally, I'm in love with the intensely creamy look it has here.
