Hiya guys! It's the start of the week, but also the end of the month and that only means one thing around here. Polish Pick Up! I've already posted a few shades and will continue with more through the end of the week. And yes, wallets be quaking this month as the theme voted in is Fandoms. Just when I think Polish Pick Up can't possibly get better the theme is announced and it knocks me out cold. For today I'm sharing swatches for Supernatural Lacquer November contribution to the Polish Pickup Collaboration. Without further ado, let's get to the swatches!
Raccoon Incident by Supernatural Lacquer will be available for purchase through the Polish Pickup Shop November 3rd at 11AM EST through November 6th. This full-size 15mL shade will retail for $12.50 each. This month there is a cap set to 120 bottles before it's gone for good - set those alarms!
If you're not familiar with the concept, the Polish Pickup offers a fun, interactive experience that allows you to submit theme ideas, vote for your favorite theme, and selectively purchase your favorite polishes every month. As I mentioned before, the theme that was voted for November was Fandoms! For this month Stefanie found her inspiration from the Resident Evil franchise and the iconic Raccoon City.
Raccoon Incident can be described as a bluish grey base with orange/red shimmer and orange/pink/red flakies. Like so many others this month, it's all about the flakies and I am indulging to the fullest. Plus I mean the contrasting shimmer is everything. There is nothing like contrasting shimmer to make this polish addict squeal, haha. Aside from that, the hue looks fantastic against my skin tone and doesn't highlight too much warmth like I was expecting. Pretty much another winner this month that needs to make your final cut.
The formula has a sheer application that builds-up with a nice opacity for full coverage. It has a nice balanced consistency, not too thick or too thin. There were plenty of flakes per brush during the application with a great distribution. It dries down to a semi-matte and smooth finish on its own. I experienced no staining on removal to either my cuticles or nail beds. On another note, I ended up having a long dry-time with this shade for some reason. Even after a fast drying topcoat it ended up taking longer than expected. It might be my body chemistry, but I figured it was worth mentioning. Shown in two coats and sealed with a glossy topcoat.
To recap, Raccoon Incident by Supernatural Lacquer will be available for purchase through the Polish Pickup Shop November 3rd at 11AM EST through November 6th. This full-size 15mL shade will retail for $12.50 each. This month there is a cap set to 120 bottles before it's gone for good.
