I’m back one more time time tonight, and this time it’s to share 4 of the items that will be available in the Brain Tumor Awareness Charity Box.
Yeah I tried a new hand pose. Not sure if I will continue with it, but I do kinda like it… we’ll see.
To see all 4 polishes I received swatched, check out my YouTube video:
Dee Na (also known as Deepika5 on IG) gathered several makers together for this charity box. She lost her brother in law to glioblastoma this past year so she wanted to do something productive with her grief. One of the things she decided to do was a Brain Tumor Awareness box and there will be 10 indie makers involved. The goal for the box is to raise money for brain cancer research and scholarships.
Each polish maker in the box will be donating $5 per bottle sold.
This is not a “buy all or nothing” situation – you will be able to buy the polishes individually. This is a beautiful collaboration effort and they wanted to make sure people could buy them all, or buy individually if they wished to.
Like with most charity polishes/boxes – I will be making a private donation to the charities benefitting this box. Those charities are:
The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center (affiliated with Duke University) and The Idrees Danishpajooh Memorial Scholarship.
I have 4 of the 10 polishes to share, so lets jump right in.
Anchor & Heart Lacquer | Always On My Mind
Always On My Mind is a pink leaning lavender crelly base with pearly white hex glitters, as well as a mix of holographic glitters. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
$12.50 | No Cap
Bee’s Knees Lacquer | I Miss You Every Day
I Miss You Every Day is a semi sheer pineapple yellow jelly base with blue to purple shimmer mixed in. I used 3 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
BKL made this polish with their cousin, Michael, in mind. They lost their cousin to childhood brain cancer when he was 14, and he was a huge fan of Spongebob, so this pineapple yellow shade was made with him in mind.
$13.00 | No Cap
Great Lakes Lacquer | A Cure Can’t Wait
A Cure Can’t Wait is a dark dove grey crelly base filled with blue to purple to pink shifting shimmer and soft scattered holo. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
$14.00 | No Cap
LynBDesigns | Never Give Up, Never Give In
Never Give Up, Never Give In is a muted blue tinted jelly base with purple to pink to orange to gold shifting large particle shimmer and scattered holo as well as holo flecks. I used 3 thin coats and a glossy top coat for these photos.
$13.00 | No Cap
