Happy Monday! It feels like I just did the last Polished Gamers Box post, but then I realized… that was 3 months ago! Time is going so quick this year. For April 2025, the theme is Sports Games!
So the basics… Polished Gamers Box used to be a monthly box, then it was a bi-monthly box, but now it’s moved into being a quarterly box. Basically each box is themed with some sort of gaming – might specifically be a game or it can be broader like board games or retro games or it could be a genre of games. The box is open from the 15th of the month until the 20th. Then it closes – totals are sent to makers and it can take about 3-4 weeks before shipping starts up since makers have to get their total sold to HQ to prep for shipping.
For the fine details – for all photos shown – I used Vapid Lacquer Commitment Issues Peel Off Base, and for the glossy photos I did Monarch Lacquer Hi-Def Shine Top coat (sent as PR and I’ve also purchased, also affiliate link). My nails are clear gel nails as well (Apres Gel X) so VNL doesn’t show much… but if you can see through my nail tip – your VNL will show through the polish.
My lighting set up involves 2 Neatfi XL Lamps from Amazon (affiliate link) as well as this Daylight Company Duo Daylight Lamp (affiliate link). I do use artificial lighting due to my day job and not being around much during daylight hours.
