Trust Fund Beauty doesn't send stuff out to many bloggers, so there's usually an utter dearth of swatches available when you're deciding. The site is full of plain bottle shots +/- "dots" of the paint itself, but
the gorgeous duochrome that came in my first order along with the frequent super coupons was enough to have me rolling the dice on a few others with the swirly look that suggested they were duochromes.

Sigh. Yeah, I'm showing my fails here, too.
Boozy Brunch is not, in fact, a duochrome, and it's not even a contrast or pearlescent shimmer. It's a peachy nude frosty shimmer that flat out did not look well with my skin tone. Did I mention frosty? Because, yeah, there's some 80s type frostiness going on here, which I mitigated by slathering on a thick coating of Girly Bits Shift Happens.

Not even the magic of real and true old-school 230-type shifty topcoat fixes this. If my jaundiced look here wasn't enough to make me sad, the formula was overly thick and sticky, this really didn't wear well for me at all (I'm willing to bet those 2 factors are intimately related), and just to kick me a little more, TFB's bottles are now 2ml smaller than last time I bought.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars. This polish did not work out for me in many ways, but I'm very sure it would look lovely on someone of a much darker and/or somewhat warmer skin tone than me. It's going in the trade & sell pile, so shout out if you want to claim!
