Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Inspiration Collection Swatches and Review Part 1

I have pics of half of the Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Inspiration Collection to bring to you today. These polishes, which launched late last year, are all inspired by customers of the brand - what a lovely, personal tribute! Let's have a look...

Because She Danced to Space Jam is a dark teal with magenta-to-green duochrome shimmer, scattered holo, and holo microglitter. It is shown here in three thin coats. This polish is inspired by Alfreda, who also helps out with the brand. What an amazing polish! Great formula. Carpe Noctem Cosmetics Because She Danced to Space Jam

Classy As Fuck is an antique ruby metallic with scattered holo, holo microglitter, and silver flakes, worn here in two thin coats. This one was for none other than me, and I can't say how much I love that! I am crazy for glowing red shimmers, so it is perfect. This one will stain dry skin, so careful polishing is recommended.

Mon Doudou is a cool pastel blue with scattered holo shimmer, holo microglitter, and magenta-to-green duochrome flakes. This is for my dear blogging friend, Schette! This is worn in four very thin coats, though three would do for most. It dries a little on the slow side, so thin coats are recommended.

My Nurse Has Sparkles features a variety of red and purple glitters and scattered holo shimmer in an imperial purple jelly base. This is shown in three thin coats. It has a bit of texture due to the glitter but you don't have to hunt for it. This polish is inspired by Ali, a nurse!
