I recently purchased Serum N*5's 6ml versions of "Shrinking Violet" and "Day Glow" from their Etsy shop for $5 each. They also sell 15ml bottles for $12. I highly recommend liking their Facebook page to find out when polishes are back in stock, especially "Day Glow", which sells out quickly.
What a treat! I couldn't wait to try them both so I put Day Glow on as an accent nail. Three coats was all I needed. Day Glow dries to a gritty finish, but one coat of Seche Vite made it nice and glossy without minimizing the glow. Day Glow in the light is a pale pastel yellow with a hint of neon yellow, very beautiful, and in the dark it glows just like the plastic glow in the dark stars I used to play with as a kid.
Shrinking Violet is a feminine semi-opaque pastel purple base containing purple hex glitter, and small blue glitter. The pattern it creates is super organic and reminds me of the spots on eggs. I used 3 coats to get full coverage.
Instagram-worthy!

Both polishes had a nice consistency. Not too thick or thin, and the brush worked fine. I would definitely be checking out Serum No. 5's store more in the future. Great polishes, and at $5 for a mini bottle, it's a steal!
