Since this is the inaugural Polished Gamers Box let’s jump into some Q&A!
What is the Polished Gamers Box?
The Polished Gamers Box is a game themed box featuring several makers each month. Each box will have a gaming related theme and feature different types of indie products that include nail polish, nail care, body care, wax, and other handmade items.
What if I don’t want to order everything in the box?
That’s the beauty of the Polished Gamers Box! You can pick and choose what you want to order. No minimums or maximums, just order what items you want!
When can I get the box?
The box will launch on the 15th of every month and will be available for preorder for a five day period.
Preorders will open at 12:00PM MST / 1:00PM CST / 2:00 EST
The turn around time will be approximately 2-3 weeks after the box preorder ends on the 20th of each month.

Now let’s get to the items!
(Items are listed in alphabetical order based on brand name)
Chirality
Soften Your Tips – Ocarina of Time
A little bit of this cuticle oil goes a looooooooong way! I highly recommend brushing as much off as possible back into the bottle because even just a little bit brought my dry, scaly, you-didn’t-use-a-peel-off-base-coat-for-these-swatches, fingers back to life! It’s like the Triforce of Wisdom with the power to heal your cuticles! Also, to me the scent is somewhat muted and not overbearing at all which is awesome.
Description: Scent – Ocarina of Time. A fruity blend of green apples with a touch of blackberry combine with the iconic smells of open meadows and sage to create an iconic scent that will make you feel like you are Link running through the Sacred Forest Meadow
Inspiration: Ocarina of Time

Heaven Scent Treasure Candles
Looks Like You Could Use a Heart
This fun glittery roll on perfume will have you feeling like you captured an actual fairy in a bottle! The sparkle left after application is a fun addition to the stand-out scent of this perfume.
NOTE: I have what I like to call “sensitive” skin and usually avoid lotions, perfumes, and things like that, but I did not notice any reactions after wearing this. I was able to remove the perfume and glitter with soap and water, and the scent was almost barely noticeable after that.

NOTE: Sadly my perfume leaked in transit and while trying to clean it up, I managed to wash most of the label off…Nailed it. Please bear with these photos and imagine a nice bright white label that I didn’t ruin.

Sheikah Glyphs
These adorable nail vinyls will help you travel back in time to the age of the Sheikah! Perfectly sized for a nail and a perfect thickness, these vinyls will allow for anyone to create some nail art worthy of the protectors of the Royal Family. The nail vinyls decoder sheet will be included.
NOTE: These vinyls will come with the “inside” pieces (the actual letters) still there. I removed each of the vinyls from the sheet and then discarded the inside pieces so that you could see each one’s cutout better. Even after lifting each vinyl off the sheet and reapplying it, while using them on my nails they stayed stuck down.

For the nail art I used:

Red Eyed Lacquer
Shield of Honor
The blurple beauty will blow you away once you put it on. It has a shiny chrome feel to it along with a gorgeous purple/blue shift. While it is a crelly (not usually sheer enough to be a jelly, and not opaque enough to fully be considered a crème), I found that three coats covered my nail line entirely.
Description: Blurple crelly with red shimmer and red/orange UCC flakies

Breath of the Wild
This pink flakie filled polish will have you thinking of the beautiful Breath of the Wild sunsets and alpenglow. It is a one coat wonder and also dries semi matte. The many faces of this polish will leave you in awe!
NOTE: Please if you are able to, try to view these photos on a computer instead of on a mobile device. This polish’s color can change based on lighting conditions and my camera / lighting setup caused a “glow” that I attempted to color correct. Also please keep an eye out for photos from some other amazing swatchers so you can compare! These swatches below are more fuchsia than the polish actually is. Also, adding more coats of the polish will darken it.
Description: Bright pink polish with shifting blue to gold micro flakies, rose to gold micro flakies, plus gold flakes with blue and purple shimmer
