My FIRST Chaos & Crocodiles! Swatches and Review

Nothing to disclose

Dearest readers have I got a treat for you.  If you haven’t taken the leap into the Chaos & Crocodile unknown well then allow me to help you take the plunge!  I have a pair of polishes to show you that will certainly help you make that final decision!

First up is a long time lemming of mine, Narwhals are Unicorns Too!  Now you might be saying “what IS a narwhal anyway?”  If you are then I say you haven’t been on the internet for very long!  Narwhals are a type of whale that live up near Iceland and Greenland and they have a long spiraled tusk not UNLIKE what we visualize Unicorns have!  Narwhals have the extra coolness of not being mythical!

Narwhals is a beautiful tiffany blue creme polish with some subtle glitter thrown into the mix for some extra sparkle and panache.  There are teal, golden, and aqua holographic and metallic glitters.

I thought that the formula was really good.  I have to admit that I was expecting a crelly based polish that went on in sheerer layers that shows off the glitter better but this is definitely leaning more to the creme end of the spectrum, I think next time I use it I might swipe a brush dipped in acetone lightly over the top to reveal the glitters a little more.  I found it very self-leveling and I had no problem with the glitter being textured and these pictures show two coats with a layer of topcoat.

During the restock that I purchased this polish there were some delays and so Chaos & Crocodiles sent out an extra little goodie to those who had to wait and it’s from an upcoming collection.  I’m telling you now that I will probably need all three of the colors in a full size when they are released.  This is Echoes:

Oh.Em.Gee.  While my pictures read red it is actually slightly more magenta in person.  It is definitely a very dark pink and nearly red though so that’s probably why it appears much more of a berry red in the pictures.   This is a magenta jelly based scattered holographic polish.  It is so sparkly and decadent and I think it’s a lovely holiday polish!

The formula on this is just gorgeous.  Pictures show two coats plus topcoat.  I had no problems with the application and it went on smoothly and looks so squishy when it’s finished!
