Basket Case:
DGC description: 'Bright purple with turquoise shift and gold sparkles'This is the shade I bought a petit of instead of a sample and I'm so glad I did - I'm sure I'll be going back for a full size. Its the perfect shade of purple and the turquoise shift is really striking. Also I found I only used a tiny bit of this - the pigmentation is fantastic! I have to confess, I didn't even notice the gold sparkles until I was looking at this pic, but its a beautiful shade anyway.
Ghost Light (spectral shift):

Darling Girl's description sums this shade up really well. Its a gorgeous shade, I love how it appears to glow.
Sultry Siren:

Sigh, I'm going to be poor - this is another one I want in full size! :P I really wish my pics of this one were better, its so much better than it appears here, the shift is much stronger. This pic does show the base well though, which is really unique and pretty.
Midnight Sea:
DGC description: a rich, matte, royal purple base with turquoise shift.Wow, I was amazed how similar this was to Basket Case, however I think if I swatched them without the pixie epoxy Midnight Sea would be a much richer purple than Basket Case due to the matte base. I adore both shades anyway!
Nerpette:
DGC description: deep reddish purple base with strong blue sheen.
Super pigmented shade and a really striking sheen - I really enjoy colors like this.
Hang Loose:
DGC description: Deepish periwinkle blue with pink undertone, gold iridescence and a smattering of color shifting blue iridescence for added depth.
Periwinkle is always a fave of mine, and this one is super sparkly!
Silly Sea Lion:
DGC description: Mid-tone grey base with strong copper sheen and soft silver iridescence.
This is a really interesting color - the combo of greenish grey and the brilliant copper sheen work really well together.
Freedom Rings:
DGC description: Somewhat opaque white with very subtle blue undertone and loaded with color blue and soft red color shifting iridescence.
I love this shade - it looks really ethereal. Super pretty!
Teenage Dream:
DGC description: Frosty warm pink with silvery undertones and purple sparkles.
I have to confess, I didn't love this one. Compared to the other shades I received I just didn't think it was very special - I didn't notice any purple sparkles either. It was a GWP and is still pretty, but its just not really one I'll wear.
Overall I'm really impressed with my first order from Darling Girl and I will be making another one soon :) I noticed a couple of new shades that caught my eye while I was getting descriptions for this post. I'm looking at you Charmed and Leaping Lizards!
