Pistol Polish- February Duo Subscription Review

This is the February Duo from the Pistol Polish monthly subscription service.  As stated on their website, "Subscribe to PISTOL and every month you will receive two full-sized bottles of nail polish in colors that have been carefully selected based on the season and color trend studies. Pay either $17.99 USD per month for duration of subscription, or $199.99 USD for a one year subscription (non-renewing). Don't worry - we've got the shipping costs covered."
 
This company is based in the US, FDA approved, never tested on animals, and D4-free.  Not only that but they believe in empowering women to live their dreams; along with making amazing nail polish of course!  Let's take a look at what was in my box.
 Umm..okay first of all do you see the awesome pistol charms on these polishes?  Impressive right?! I loved them the second I saw them.
 Secondly, you have to read these description of the colors.  I love the creative wording and imagery they offer.  So fun!
 
And now the swatches...
 The first color that I wore is called Trouble Hunting.  As you can read in the description above it is their take on the Radiant Orchid Pantone color of the year.  It looks like a nice color in the bottle but I did not truly appreciate the amazingness of this color until I applied it.  This is just one coat of this polish, that when applied has a subtle shimmer that makes this color shimmer and glow on the nails.

  I love this type of color on my skin tone and with it's even, opaque application in one coat I'm going to keep this one close by.  It's a color that can be worn anytime of year but with Spring right around the corner this one will be my go-to color.

 The next one in the duo is called Coppers on the Chase.  This is a "metallurgical copper" if I ever saw one.  Okay, I had to look up metallurgical, but it is a real words that means they extraction of metals from their ores. But to me it means shimmery goodness.
 

 Do you see what I'm talking about?  This is 2 coats of the polish.  It comes out so much more bronzey on the nails than in the bottle.  Again this is a color that can be worn any time of year because it is a kind of kicked-up neutral color as they say.
I am very impressed by these polishes.  The color, formula, brush, bottle, packaging, and the company themselves are all amazing.  You can watch my video below for a few more details on the company and find links to their social media sites.  Check them out friends.  You will not be disappointed!
