Happy Reviews-Day Tuesday to one and all! Today I have 2 polishes from the indie brand Sinister Benediction – a multichrome, and a color shifting topcoat.
The first polish is “Horse Feathers”, which is “a multichrome peacock teal base color that shifts to blue and violet”.

Although this is a “no undies necessary” polish, I wanted to try using a grey-ish blue base, to see if it would enhance the polish. So let’s see how it turned out!

Next
is “JPG”, and I think the concept for this polish is pretty cool – I’ve
actually never heard of anything like it. Straight from their etsy page,
JPG is a “red color shifting topcoat, made up of tiny pixel-like flakes
which shift from red to gold to green”. Pretty neat, huh?

No swatch here, as it applies pretty clear sans-undies, so I decided to show this topcoat on top of 4 different colours: a dark red creme, a dark purple shimmer, a magenta shimmer, and a bright green creme. Here is a before/after.

My favourite thing about Sinister Benediction, aside from the fun colours, is the mixing balls – I’m so used to having polishes with either no mixing ball, or a mixing ball that barely moves, but with Sinister Benediction, when you shake the bottle, you can hear the mixing ball sing! This makes sure that the polish is well-mixed.
Be sure to check out Sinister Benediction on their etsy page – their polishes retail for $9-$12.
