Cuticula Shattered Fantasy Pt. 2 & Black Friday 2023 Swatches

[@BunnySlippers82]

I really don't know which brands to choose from for the Black Friday sales. So many are must haves but I can only afford to pick 2-3 indie companies to buy from this year.

[@mostrawberry9696]

From my experience i would suggest bees knees ( super high quality and the bottle lasts for ages 😂) also polished for days , their shimmers are on a different level!

[@pamelabeth]

Omg me too! I made an order from Glisten and Glow already bc I love their topcoat so may as well get it on sale. But I can afford JUST ONE more brand. I think I'm going for Polished for days this year bc I don't own any of their polishes yet.

[@Pollenoverponds]

It is kind of overwhelming, I’m hoping some brands do restocks!

[@Sonsbitchesall]

Same here. I think I’m going to cave and get some of the K.B. shimmer collection this year.

[@cat_623]

Hi Caitlin, I just want to tell you how much I enjoy your content and your aesthetic here on KZbin. Your calming voice, slower-paced swatching, walking around the house to give us a thorough idea of shifty polishes, and sometimes I hear windchimes. All so relaxing and satisfying!! Thank you!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I'm so glad!

[@lisapierce525]

Thanks for all your dedication on these new releases & BF sales videos. You’ve done a fantastic job!

[@alb91878]

What a beautiful set! Absolutely loved the polishes! There were at least five or six in here that I was really in love with! Also my favorite quote of the video. "Okay so it looks purple, but I was thinking it looked more like a Navy... you know what we don't need to fight about it. This is how it looks!" That had me giggling so much!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

😁😂

[@mindy7783]

Something about "we don't need to fight about it" said in your extremely soothing voice made me laugh so hard!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

😂😂

[@maribellenavarez8767]

Thanks for this and all of your swatching videos, Caitlin! ❤

[@CaitlinSwatches]

You're so welcome!

[@cloche-et-chocolat]

MORE BROWN NAIL POLISH! Yes! Love Burning Embers, Underworld, Moonbow and Kraken's Wrath. Also the names!

[@laurennyack8894]

I knew cuticula wouldn't let me down 🤩

[@m4g0rtz]

Yay! Another video! I was hoping you would be swarching these! 😍😍😍

[@ThePeytonLeigh]

I’m so excited! I’ve been wanting to buy more from cuticula and I’m thinking I have an excuse now.

[@quantquill]

I got the Shattered Glass collection for BF and wore Serpent Venom this week, soooo beautiful. Fantastic formula, easy to apply, easy to remove, and I agree, 3 coats builds to the perfect opacity with that squishy "stained glass" look. Next time I'll use a glitter smoothing top coat. Even with 2 coats of QDTC, it had a little texture -- nothing like you get with glitter, it was smooth but you could feel bumps underneath from the flakes. If anyone is a recovering nail-picker-and-chewer like I am, Cuticula's Quenched is a fantastic product to make everything perfectly smooth and level.

[@michl8379]

Majestic Waters and Kraken's Wrath are sooo pretty. I'm going broke this Black Friday OTL

[@kimj6453]

All so stunning 😊❤

[@littleleslie13]

Thank for you swatching! Stunning as usual! ✨

[@Pollenoverponds]

It is really interesting how many of the door busters are some version of a purple crelly! It’s gotta be a coincidence but it sure is a big one.

[@Pollenoverponds]

I like that these aren’t too full of flakes. It allows for the pond effect and shows off that beautiful jelly base! I wasn’t thinking about getting these but your video convinced me!

[@carolgerstmann4852]

O M G! That moonglow and underworld!!!!

[@hagridcat]

Welp I need them all. 💰

[@queenwein16]

I love me some Cuticula!! Their polishes never disappoint.

[@kris2487]

Doorcrasher is just a pretty purple. Might have to go with that one

[@sierra734]

Glass Slipper is my fav and those Flaky bombs are all amazing tfs❤

[@annagracehow]

That Serpent Venom polish made my jaw DROP, I'm not normally as into dark/vampy colours but those glowy flakes really make them something special

[@jobeaulieu]

Moonbow is amazing ❤

[@jobeaulieu]

Why does Limitless shrink on me? What am I doing wrong?

[@avamarshall1209]

Cuticula limitless is my favorite topcoat as well!

[@shay8502]

ohhhhh my gosh. These are all so so so beautiful 👀

[@evisl3823]

One of the most beautiful BF collections. I definitely need at least 4 of these!! Beautiful swatches ❤

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I agree it’s beautiful!

[@MakeupAgain561]

Serpent Venom, Twilight Dragon (❤❤) Burning Embers (😮❤❤) Underworld, Glass Slipper and Moonbow are my favorites! This is a stunning collection. Thank you so much for the beautiful swatches and I ordered the Cuticula top coat because of how you loved it and how gorgeous your nails look. 😊

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Thank you!!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Serpent Venom is stunning ❤

[@jilllandefeld3829]

Let’s hear it for brown polish!

[@chrissyellem7397]

I love flakies. Not too many people do them anymore. I guess it's more like 10 years ago when they were the rage.

[@nickspolish]

i feel like too many brands are just doing shimmer and/or reflective glitter…. I WANT HOLO AND FLAKIES AND GLITTERRRRR

[@fighttheevilrobots3417]

​@@nickspolishme too! Totally! All the things! Magnetic! Thermals! Solars! Glitter in crazy shapes!

[@pnuthead13]

I didn’t keep up with the Black Friday drops because (gratefully) my collection is size-able and I thought I could skip this year. I saw ‘Cuticula’ and it was immediate curiosity. I saw ‘Shattered’ and it was screeching brakes! One hundred percent back to you on the brown polish opinion and that shade in this collection- that’s a soulmate color for me!! ❤🔥❤️‍🔥 Alarm ⏰ set!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Love this comment!!

[@Nursegirl7677]

Thank you for all the Black Friday videos. Very helpful. Is your commission code the same across the board? Thanks again for your time. Underworld was my fav.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

It is but Cuticula doesn’t have an affiliate program. I only have codes with Cirque, Clionadh and Cracked Polish. Thank you!

[@corsicanlulu]

i bought serpent venom from this collection, so pretty. i cant watch your videos cuz i cant afford to buy so much nail polish lol

[@ThatSoundsBoring]

Ahh Cuticula doesn’t ship internationally and it’s not available at any of my stores at the moment. Limitless is the best top coat, hands down. I’ve run out and I only have some Timeless bottles that I have yet to try. Fingers crossed for an exciting scent for PPU!

[@FrOzMOB10]

I LOVE your sweater! 🥰 where is it from if you don’t mind? Also these swatches are beautiful I always appreciate your reviews and videos!!!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Oh gosh it’s ancient! Probably Marshalls a decade ago.

[@pamelarodriguezdiaz4907]

Hi Caitlin! Do you have the other collection to compare the purple and teal?

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I don’t sorry!

[@crissyjayfae]

I wasn’t planning on purchasing any mail polish anytime soon but these are so pretty. Does anyone know if the new collection is permanent?

[@CaitlinSwatches]

It will be restocked again but I’m not sure it will be around forever. At least a few months!

[@TheDressageAddict]

What are the details for the black Friday sale?

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Check the description

[@DESMARAE17]

Do you have a destash page?

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I don’t sorry!

[@emilykinsler9765]

Do you think this is close to All I Want for Christmas from Rogue Lacquer? You have been showing so many beautiful polishes that my head is spinning….and my wallet. Thanks!

[@CaitlinSwatches]

Definitely not close. The rogue is very different.

[@emilykinsler9765]

Compared to Majestic Waters

[@emilykinsler9765]

Thanks!

[@WonderfulHayden]

Hi Caitlin, which of the top coat scents have you tried/would you recommend?

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I love Sugar Coated, Pink Sugar and Lava You!

[@WonderfulHayden]

@@CaitlinSwatches Thank you! And for all the beautiful swatches!

This sucks! They don't do regular credit card payments. Ugh!

They do. It’s not just PayPal. You can pay direct with a cc

[@acetone_loc]

I really miss the days when bloggers would explain how they do things like photos, swatches, nail art, cameras, lighting, and videos. They used to be so much more personable/human and nowadays it's all PR and selling to their viewers. Have you thought about it? When was the last time you did a video with no PR in it? (I also just noticed that you're not disclosing PR - big nono) I would love to see this 'old school' type of video where you show your gear, talk about how you shoot or what software you use and how you use it. Pro photographers do this kind of thing because their PR is cameras, but our nail polish community is so niche that it is rare any of them talk about shooting close-up model's hands or faces.

[@CaitlinSwatches]

I always disclose. I use the built-in KZbin disclosure tool. It pops up at the start of the video. If you’re going to speak condescendingly, at least get your facts straight! 😁
