Native War Paints | Polish Con Exclusives

The polish in this post was provided for my honest review.

Hi everyone!

Today’s Polish Con post is all about Native War Paints. If you’re attending Polish Con next weekend or plan on having someone pick up a few shades for you, you should also check out my posts for Fair Maiden, Tonic, Sassy Sauce, Bee’s Knees, Blush, and KBShimmer. Today I am sharing no less than 6 different limited edition shades from Native War Paints. All of these will be available at Polish Con at discounted prices, and then will be available online at a later stage. Two of the shades will also be included in some VIP bags.

Let’s start off with the two VIP shades. First up is Niizh.

Niizh is Ojibwe for ‘two’. This is one of two polishes that you may find in your VIP bag if you have a VIP ticket. If not, you will be able to purchase it on the day for $10, or for $11 on the website the day after.

Niizh is a dark teal with a strong golden shimmer. The official description is a deep cerulean with gold to green shimmer. Here I am showing 2 coats of Niizh with top coat. The formula was good and easy to work with.

You can see some of the shift in the shimmer here – it is more gold when viewed straight on, while the green shift blends more with the base colour of the polish.

The gold shimmer complements the teal base really well!

Next up is the other VIP shade, Bezhig. Bezhig is Ojibwe for ‘one’.

Bezhig is a dark orchid shade with strong gold shimmer. The official description is fuchsia with gold to green shimmer.

Here I am showing 2 coats of Bezhig plus top coat. The formula was good and easy to work with.

With their matching shimmers, Bezhig and Niizh seem made to go together, so if you receive one in your VIP bag you may want to pick the other up. Bezhig will also be priced at $10 during Polish Con and $11 on the website the day after.

I liked that Bezhig has that fucshia pull that just keeps it from being a red – it makes it more wearable to me as someone that doesn’t wear red nail polish all that often.

It is packed with that gold shimmer!

Next we have the other four limited edition shades. These will not be included in any VIP bags, but will be available for purchase at the con and the day after.

I’ll start off with Pink Skyline. This one has a lovely shimmer and I’m sure pink lovers will be all over it! Pink Skyline will be priced at $11 at the con and $12 the day after on the website.

Although pink polish isn’t really my personal favourite, I think it looks lovely on me in these pictures. My heart just cries out for the turquoise and purple shades further down the post!

Pink Skyline is a frosty light pink with strong blue shimmer and a holographic effect. The official description is a pink with cyan/blue/red shimmer, lots of holo and holo flakies.

Here I am showing 2 coats of Pink Skyline with top coat. Again, the formula was good and easy to work with.

The shimmer really comes out in that macro! I like the combination of blue shimmer and pink base.

Now we are getting to the shades that would be my personal picks! Next up is My New Sweater.

My New Sweater is a bright blue-green base with magenta microflakies. The official description is a deep teal with red/orange/yellow shifting shimmer. I don’t really think that description is accurate; I see magenta in the large microflake shimmer. It does shift to a sort of golden yellow shade so perhaps it is something to do with the base colour that makes the original red of the shimmer appear more magenta.

This one is more my kind of colour, I’m a sucker for teals! Here I am showing 2 coats of My New Sweater with top coat. The formula was good and easy to work with.

This one was a bit of a chameleon under different lighting conditions. Sometimes it looked like a dark teal, at other times it would appear more blue.

I’ve always liked shimmers and I particularly like the effect of the larger shimmer particles used here.

My New Sweater will be priced at $10 at the con and $11 on the website the day after.

Next up we have a lovely glowy purple called Verbena.

Verbena is a bright purple with magenta microflakes, gold to green shifting microflakes, and magenta to blue shifting shimmer. The official description is a royal purple with blue/purple/orange shifting shimmer, purple/copper/green aurora pigment and a touch of holo.

I love this shade of purple! Add the shimmer that makes it pull more magenta sometimes and more blurple sometimes and you have a winner.

In these pictures, I am showing 2 coats of Verbena with top coat. The formula was good and easy to work with.

I really like this shade of purple – it’s one of my favourite colours – so this polish put a smile on my face each time I looked down at it. Verbena will be available at Polish Con for $12, and then $13 the following day on the website. You can see some of the shimmer shift to blue in that macro! Lastly, we have my favourite shade from Native War Paints: Broke Again.

Broke Again is a dusty navy with red-green shifting shimmer and holo. The official description is an indigo with copper shimmer, copper/green aurora pigment, packed with holo.

I really like more unusual shades like this, and the contrasting red shimmer looks amazing against the base colour. This one is a winner for me and a real stand out shade out of those from Native War Paints.

Here I am showing two coats of Broke Again with top coat. The formula was good and easy to work with. Broke Again will be available for $12 at Polish Con and then $13 the following day on the website. The red shimmer in that macro is exactly what I like about this polish!
