Notoriously Morbid Rotten-ness and Evil in Me (gwp) shadow. In the future I won't blend it into my crease and keep the flakies confined to my lids only. Also, I'll use shadowbind because I ended up with flakies on my face. 
Lipgloss is NM Dragon Stone.

PRESS SAMPLES, bottom right photo by MTK Design

For August's Polish Pickup them At the Carnival MTK Design and Forty Winks Jewelry both chose carousels as inspiration and have loosely collaborated to offer a coordinating set available separately within PPu. Mary kindly sent me her gorgeous necklace to review and well, Forty Winks is me 😉. We knew each other's general color schemes because of  our inspiration photos and agreed on bronze settings but otherwise each piece was created independently and I CANNOT get over how well they go together. I am thrilled that Mary agreed to collab with me! These will be available August 2-5th and are both limited quantities. Read on for details on each.

  Swatches done with my fingers on bare skin. These are actually little super shocks which is a formula I'm not very used to or good at, I had to keep packing them on my eyes for color payoff. Those of you who are used to them will do fine. I may need some specific brushes that work with them because I don't like using my fingers.

Lacquester La Licorne Bleue

Can you guys believe it took me almost a year to wear this stunning polish? This was made by Lacquester as a group custom and it definitely required ninja fingers to snag it. A beautiful cornflower blue base filled with shifting unicorn pee shimmer in the famous red/green/gold variety. I did not expect this to be as opaque as it is, score! I used 3 coats for the sake of photos because the camera shows visible nail line even when it's not visible in person. Normally I think 2 coats would be fine for me. Very nice formula, easy to use, appropriate dry time, even application. This is not available at this time, you can look in destashes. All of my photos here are taken in my full spectrum t5 bulbs as sadly it was pouring rain and grey.

Ugly pretty polish lovers, pay attention! This is Different Dimension Not In the Loop, a truly perfect mossy yellow with strong red shimmer that appears olive at the edges and in low light. It's a Polish Con LE but over pours will be available at 9 am tomorrow from Different Dimension.
I have it in my grubby hands because at first sight I knew I had to have it to live and an amazing, sweet lady picked it up for since I couldn't risk death, er, I mean.... sell outs. I couldn't control myself, so here's a bunch of pictures. Oh and, it was not easy to capture! I took a video but alas, when I transfer them to my computer I cant find them.I know, it's sad. Anyway, you can check it out on my Instagram . This is really changeable depending on the lighting.

  • 3 coats with topcoat.
  • Nice formula, easy to use, no shimmer ridges.
  • Removal wasn't difficult but yellow gets everywhere.
  • No staining, I wore it for a couple of days.
  • I don't think this brand is 5 free, but I cant find information about this on the site.



Natural light.

Low daylight.
Sorry for the pose that shall not be mentioned
      but it was just so accurate I had to keep it. #SORRYNOTSORRY

Daylight, in the car. The car is always the best, no one knows why.
One of life's big mysteries.

LED daylight bulb.

Full sunlight.
This retails for $10 and won't be available again. What do you think of "ugly pretty" colors, are you wiling to give this a shot? Anyone trying to grab this tomorow? Let me know in the comments.
Thanks for reading!

About me

Hello lovely readers and thank you for visiting my fledgling blog!
I found the indie community at a time my Narcolepsy was at its worst. Polish and makeup gave me something fun and low impact to do and pretty to look at. Pretty makes you feel a little better, ya know? Fast forward 3 years and I was frustrated with the lack of polish swatches available in various and natural light sources. I finally decided to try my hand at blogging and am dedicated to providing accurate swatches in as many light sources as possible. Additionally many indie brands do not provide makeup swatches on a persons face which I find very helpful. I currently post my makeup reviews and looks on Instagram but plan to start including them here too. I am not a writer, unless it's poetry so expect my posts to generally be to the point and full of photos. Oh yeah, about me. I am 26, coming up on my 6th wedding anniversary in a few months and am a fur mom to an adorable ferret who sleeps even more than me.

Disclosure

This blog is a public account of my personal opinions. Anything that is posted is not absolute, products perform differently based on body chemistry, climate,ect and results will be different for everyone.

I am not a licensed nail technician or an expert.
I purchase most of these products myself. If a product was sent for review from a brand or person, I will mention it in the blog post. Any products sent for review will have a link pointing to the brand or where to purchase the product. If I receive an item for review it is considered a gift therefore there is not return. I do not get compensated for my opinion on products; any thoughts on the product are my true opinion. Any product claim made in the blog post should be verified with the provider.

I accepts products for review from brands and public relations representatives. Receipt of a product, whether solicited or unsolicited, does not constitute a contract for a published review of the product or for the substance of any content produced that discusses the product. I does not guarantee favorable reviews and does not do paid positive product reviews. Review content is not pre-approved by PR representatives or brands. All products received are deemed to be gifts/commercial samples that do not form a contract for review.


If you wish to send me a product for review, you may inquire at apolishednarcoleptic@gmail.com. I will try to answer within 24 hours of the inquiry to let you know. I do accept products, however I will always give my honest opinion and if there is a problem with the product, I will report it to my readers.
