Stash Swatch Initiative: Color Club Revvvolution

Hello!

Quick post to show you and oldie but goodie. This is Color Club Revvvolution.

Color Club Revvvolution. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.
Revvvolution is a near-black, charcoal polish loaded up with fine holographic shimmer. It does produce a slight linear effect out in direct sunlight.

Swatches today are a base of Seche Clear, two coats of Revvvolution, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute fast dry top coat. Formula is quite nice. It is well pigmented and applies easily.

I'm pretty sure I snagged this from Head2Toe Beauty, where it is still available.

NOTW: London Stamped

Hello! Yay Friday!!!

I used Monday's Zoya London swatch for the base of my Nail-of-the-Week for this week.

Indoors, artificial light, no flash.
Once the base color was completely dry, I used Pure Ice Gossip and Zoya Robyn to stamp the retro squares image from Bundle Monster plate, BM-204. This was a fun, fairly quick mani -- no topcoat needed!

More soon! ^_^

Stash Swatch Initiative: NerdLacquer Entirely Unlike Tea

Hello!

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

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!
