Nerd Lacquer: Dont Panic!...And I'm Back :-)

I can't believe how long its been since I last posted. I went on holiday and then I got the flu, so I haven't painted my nails much. I have got lots of untried though so hopefully I'll get back in to the swing of things and post regularly again. I need to sort of my comments and stuff as it looks like I've been nominated for a few awards - thanks guys x

I wanted to wear Nerd Lacquer: Don't Panic on its own but It just looked a little too thick with more than one coat so I used Zoya Meg as underwear. Zoya Meg is such a great shade of green, its a foil so it dried quickly and applied easily, I didn't think it looked streaky at all but I forgot to take a picture of it on its own. I used one coat of Meg and one coat of Don't Panic.





Normally I'd link to Nerd Lacquers etsy shop or Harlowe and Co. The etsy shop appears to be closed and Harlowe and Co have stopped selling Amanda's polishes for now but I'll update this if they become available again.

I think it looks like a green version of Deborah Lippmanns Mermaid's Dream, what do you think?

NerdLacquer: Hyperspace Bypass

Since the nail challenge I was part of ended I haven't really felt like blogging :-( I think maybe I need to set myself a schedule and stick to it, lol. I've painted my nails plenty but not really felt the need to take pictures until I got out my NerdLacquer Hyperspace Bypass. I ordered this a while back but when I tried to use it, it was too thick and gloopy and I couldn't get it to go on evenly, which may have been due to the travelling it did.
When I tried it this time I had no problems at all, it went on perfectly with 2 coats. I'm a huge fan of Douglas Adams and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which is where the name for this polish was taken and that's how I picked it, I would love to own the whole collection eventually. They can be bought directly from Amanda's Etsy Store, Harlow & Co. and Think Geek.








It dried a little gritty but I'm liking texture at the moment so I left it that way but you could put a topcoat on, one decent layer should smooth it out. I really don't want to take this polish off for two reasons. One, I love it and Two, I know its going to be a complete nightmare to get off :)
