U-Neek Polish sent me this polish to review. It's for a great cause and 15% of each bottle sold will be donated to the Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation.
What is Chiari? Here is the info from U-Neek's shop:
"Chiari Malformation (kee-AHR-ee mal-for-MAY-shun) is a condition in which brain tissue protrudes into your spinal canal. It occurs when part of your skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on your brain and forcing it downward. Chiari malformation is uncommon, but improved imaging tests have led to more frequent diagnoses.
The adult form, called Chiari malformation type I, develops as the skull and brain are growing. As a result, signs and symptoms may not occur until late childhood or adulthood. The most common pediatric form, called Chiari malformation type II, is present at birth (congenital).
In the past, it was estimated that the condition occurs in about one in every 1,000 births. However, the increased use of diagnostic imaging has shown that CM may be much more common. Complicating this estimation is the fact that some children who are born with the condition may not show symptoms until adolescence or adulthood, if at all. CMs occur more often in women than in men and Type II malformations are more prevalent in certain groups, including people of Celtic descent.
Treatment of Chiari malformation depends on the form, severity and associated symptoms. Regular monitoring, medications and surgery are treatment options. In some cases, no treatment is needed.

Purple is the color of the Chiari Awareness Ribbon. "
Chiari Awareness is made of a pearl purple base with black bar, purple rainbow & micro black glitter.
This polish can be found for sale here for $8/15mL bottle.
Pictured is 3 thin coats.
I felt like I didn't get complete coverage with the polish by itself, so here I layered 2 coats over theBalm Lilac Any Sense.
The black bars are sparse and only a few come out on the nail.
