Urban Decay Apocalyptic set swatches, Part I of II

So, back to what I had had scheduled for this week before the Nubars showed up at my door... :)

The more I think about it, the more PO'ed I am at myself for getting this set. Luckily, it was during Urban Decay's F&F sale but I keep thinking about all the other polishes I could've gotten for that money.

Urban Decay Grunge


I rather liked this darkened blue shimmer. Navy blue with light blue shimmer that just pops! The brushes are a little hard to work with since these are mini bottles but this one went on without too many hitches, although it is slightly brushstroke-y.

Urban Decay Gunmetal


Reminds me of a slightly frostier version of Barielle Misbehaving Mistress and I have the same complaints about it. It's actually a very interesting sort of concept as a color: a cool dark brown jelly with silver shimmer but turns out too sheer and requires more coats than seems necessary for a dark-colored polish.
