Contrary Polish River Market Swatch and Review!

Hi everyone! Today I have my first ever Contrary Polish blend to share!

My lovely boyfriend is an enabler; he bought me my favourite three polishes from the latest Contrary Polish collection (the No Place Like Home Collection) a few weeks ago! I will definitely be sharing swatches of the other two polishes he picked up for me (The Boulevard and Westport) in the near future! But today I'll be sharing River Market with all you lovely people (if you haven't guessed from the title haha) so let's get to the swatches and review!

River Market is a dark purple jelly polish with orange, pink and purple shimmer! Shown here is two coats and a coat of top coat (as always, Essie Good To Go). Can you believe how deep this polish looks at only two coats? I always show my nails to everyone who's home after I do them, and when I showed these to my dad he immediately commented on the amazing depth. Formula-wise this polish was perfect; a tad bit thick which is just the way I like my polishes!

I tried using my (sister's) camera on the program setting and fiddling with the white balance, and funnily enough I actually took these pictures above my light box! I think if I use these settings, work within the light box, and possibly add another lamp above my light box, my pictures might look like they do here but with less glare. Maybe I've finally figured out my lighting guys!!! What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Onto the photos!

I'll definitely be purchasing some more Contrary Polish polishes in the future, as I am absolutely wowed and in love with this brand already! Check out their shop here or their blog here to see more of their gorgeous polishes!

Thanks so much for reading everyone, I hope you're all having a lovely Wednesday! =)
