April Monthly Awareness Box Swatch and Review

Greetings and Nailutations,

*Blogger Discount*
Today I'm going to share the Monthly Awareness Box for April, which 10% of sales go to Paralyzed Veterans of America.  As a reminder, all 6 polishes are available for the next 2 weeks - you can also purchase your favorites (but purchasing all 6 is the best deal).

Let's get to the swatches!  *Picture Heavy Post*
Photos taken in filtered light box and LED light.

First up is the contribution from Rise and Shine Nail Lacquer (this is also my first experience with this brand and I was impressed!).  Rise and Shine created The Price of Courage, which is a blue jelly packed full of blue shimmer, blue micro glitter and silver flakies.  Photos show 3 coats for full opacity topped with glossy top coat.

Next is Baby Girl Lacquer's contribution called Ultimate Sacrifice.  Ultimate Sacrifice is a red jelly with red, white and blue mini star glitters, and white, blue and gold flakies and red squares.  I love a good jelly!  Photos show 3 coats for full opacity with shiny top coat.  There was slight glitter fishing required to retrieve the stars.

Poetry Cowgirl Polish created a colorful glitter bomb called Whatever It Takes.  Whatever It Takes jam packed full of gold micro flakies, red, navy, gold holographic micro glitters and purple metallic micro glitters.  Photos show 2 coats brushed on (which provided good opaque coverage) with shiny top coat..  This polish can also be used as a glitter topper using 1 coat.

Sassy Pants Polish created Because Of the Brave, which is an orange crelly with orange shimmer and red micro glitter.  Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.

And here is the mattified version.

Pretty Beautiful Unlimited contributed a black jelly with purple and gold metallic micro flakies, UCC flakies, color shifting flakies and pink shimmer.  It is called Honor and Valor.  Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.

And the mattified version.

The last polish of the collaboration is from Bees Knees Lacquer and is called All Gave Some.  All Gave Some is a purple jelly with iridescent flakies that change color in the lighting.  Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.

And the mattified version.

I also did some star nail art with all the polishes!
