Today I'm going to share the Monthly Awareness Box for July, which 10% of sales go to Group B Strep International. Group B Strep International promotes "awareness and prevention of group B strep disease in babies during pregnancy through early infancy." As a reminder, all 6 polishes are available for the next 2 weeks - you can also purchase all 6, your favorite 4 or just 1 (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 Sassy Pants Polish called Baby Boy Blue. Baby Boy Blue is a baby blue polish with blue holographic micro flecks, a touch of scattered holo pigment and blue shimmer. Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
I also had to mattify this crelly!
Next is Pretty Beautiful Unlimited's contribution called Hope Support Love. It is a colorful white crelly filled with periwinkle, blue, magenta, pink, navy and green matte hex glitters in various sizes. Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
And of course I had to mattify the crelly.
From 77 Nail Lacquer, GBS Awareness was created. GBS Awareness is a mint green creme with gorgeous copper shimmer and green to blue shifting iridescent glitters. Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
I really love this one mattified.
Next is Poshlish's creation called Be Knowledgeable which is a magenta thermal with purple pearlescent shimmer and magenta -blue iridescent shimmering flakes. It is magenta when cold and more pearlescent when warm. If you are in warmer areas and want this polish, look into finding someone in a cooler area to hold onto it for you. Extreme heat and thermals do not play nice. My bottle still transitioned, but there were visible pigment clumps that I was able to steer clear of while swatching.
Bluebird Lacquer's contribution needs to have a distraction warning along with it! Pause For A Cause is so sparkly! It is a silver linear super holographic polish with a light pink and blue shimmer and a scattering of pink flakies. I couldn't stop staring at this polish. Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
The last polish in the box is another polish from Sassy Pants Polish called B My Baby II. It is described as a very light blush pink crelly (I see it more as a white crelly), with blue and pink matte, metallic and iridescent glitters with a glowing blue shimmer. Photos show 2 coats with glossy top coat.
And mattified - I can't resist a crelly that isn't mattified.
Shiny Top Coat: Glisten and Glow Top Coat
Matte Top Coat: Heather's Hues Heart Of the Matter
Loves: I love the Monthly Awareness Box - a box that gives back always gets a thumbs up in my book. I love that there are different finishes and colors in the box so that there is always a polish for everyone. If I had to pick a favorite...ugh, while I love mattified crellies....that holo from Bluebird Lacquer is pretty amazing.
Wishes: I wish that this box does amazingly well! I hope one or more of these polishes catch your eye, tickle your fancy!
