Stash Swatch Initiative: NerdLacquer Entirely Unlike Tea

Hello!

I am so excited about this NerdLacquer polish today!!! This is Entirely Unlike Tea!

Nerdlacquer Entirely Unlike Tea. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Entirely Unlike Tea is a neutral-based polish that looks quite like tea with milk. It becomes entirely unlike tea once you notice the awesome purple shimmer! This polish also has two sizes of silver hex glitters AND iridescent hexes hiding inside. The iridescent bits are nearly invisible unless you view them from exactly the right angle. I love it!

Swatches today are base of Duri Rejuvacote and a layer of Elmer's glue. Once that was dry, I only needed two coats of Entirely Unlike Tea, and I finished this with one coat of Gelous plus one coat of Seche Vite. Formula on this polish is superb. I had zero issues with application, and, although this is a glitter polish, I only needed to swipe on the two coats. No dabbing necessary!

I have been a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fan for a long time. I even have a gilt-edged, hardcover edition of the entire collection. This polish is perfectly representative of it's name! Genius!

I was lucky to buy this bottle during NerdLacquer's last restock. She is on Google+, which I admittedly do not use, but thanks to the supremely awesome Accio Lacquer, who announced the restock via her Facebook page, I was clued in to the when and where! Hoping the next restock is soon! I've got three more on my wishlist!

Stash Swatch Initiative: OPI Servin' Up Sparkle

Hello!

This is OPI's Servin' Up Sparkle.

OPI Servin' Up Sparkle. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Servin' Up Sparkle is a glitter topcoat in a clear base. Silver, holographic hexes and silver, holographic micro glitter make a simple but pretty addition to any mani.

Swatches today are one coat coat of Servin' Up Sparkle over yesterday's OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service swatch. I also added one coat of NYC In a New York Minute to smooth the glitter. This is easy to work with and one swiped on coat was enough to add a little sparkle and shine to my nails -- especially in the sun!

I'm not sure the availability of this one. Mine was Christmas gift a few years back!

Stash Swatch Initiative: OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service

Hello!

This is OPI's On Her Majesty's Secret Service from last fall's Skyfall Collection.

OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is a heavy shimmer polish with a greyish-blue jelly base. Like The World is Not Enough, this polish is crazy-complicated. I see shimmer flecks of lime green, periwinkle, pink, and purple. It is very sparkly and hard to focus on. It's a very beautiful, interesting polish.

Swatches today are a base coat of Seche Clear, three coats of On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. Formula was good, if a bit thin, but no issues here.

I found this bottle at a local salon -- on sale!
