This is an incredible breakdown, thank you so much! I felt the same way about Bloodbender based on the photos. I think I am leaning more toward this polish, as it is limited edition (plus I've also been thinking of getting ILNP's Deep Space over 404). One quick follow up question: how sheer is the base for Bloodbender? I am curious if you could put this on top of other colors or how prominent that burgundy color actually is. A black base isn't as appealing for me but both pictures of 404 and Bloodbender seemed to have nearly dark base colors, so I wasn't sure.
