First off, I don't know how nail bloggers do it. GET SUPREMELY PERFECT PICTURES!
I took about 100 in total in light, out of light, holding stuff, up against a wall and holy hell that was a process. My other freakin hand was hurting trying to hold the camera for that long.
Hopefully these pictures aren't too horrible but I know they could be better somehow. I just have to find that trick!
The first bottle of nail polish I decided to swatch from my Nerd Lacquer group is: It's Just a Flesh Wound. Swatches of Nerd Lacquer will look slightly different with every blogger because each bottle is in a way unique being hand blended and everyone has their technique to get the glitter out. My first coat I wasn't worried about the huge hex glitters because I was going to do two more coats but the last coat I tried to make sure I had a huge piece on the brush each time.
This shade is described as: a fierce black base with small and medium black, red, and copper hexagonal glitter, plus black and charcoal microglitter and big silver hex glitter.
Next 3 pics are 3 coats, no top coat (I didn't have any!)
Then I made a trip to the drugstore for some top coaty goodness.
This is 4 coats with 2 coats clear top coat. The 4th coat was me trying to dig out more big glitter bits :)
That one has 3 coats clear. Just trying to get more detail.
It'll probably take me a week to get all the polish off but so.worth.it
wow love that blackish color! I have the same problem with taking pics :) really nice blog you have here :) x Marina
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deletei think your pictures are great! this polish looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I still need better though! I saw one pic a few days ago, the closeup on the nail was so clear it was like looking at the glitter in the bottle, SO PREFECT! I will get there dammit! :D
DeleteWAAAANT.
ReplyDeleteI know hey! SO PRETTY AND DARK AND AWESOME! getitgetitgetit
DeleteDear god, I NEED this in my life. O_______O
ReplyDeleteJust wait dude, you're gonna want a shitload of these!
DeleteIt's so murky and dusky-looking, like someone threw a shit load of glitter (or gems! whatever gets your noodle going) into an ink-stained lake or something equally poetical.
ReplyDeletelol YOU should have written the description :D I WANNA RE-WRITE!
DeleteYes, it WILL take you a week to get these babies off! They are SO worth it, in my opinion!!
ReplyDeleteJust a Flesh Wound looks so freaking amazing. I'm on a no-buy right now, but I seriously want all the nerdlacquer polishes.
ReplyDeleteAaannnnd...I think this is my first comment on your blog, hahah! De-lurk moment.
These things can ruin ANY NO-BUY! I'm not supposed to be buying anything but I already have a list for a second round :D I NEEDZ MOAR OF THEMZ! :D There's a webstore called Ninja Polish that had a few shades I haven't seen before like THIS ONE! http://www.ninjapolish.com/product.php?productid=17566&cat=281&page=1 It's s good thing it's not in stock or I probably just wrecked your no-buy there :)
DeleteAnd yay!!! I tend to be more of a lurker than a commenter. I can barely remember to reply to comments hahaha
NINJA POLISH. Woah, I'm saving that site. Thank God like everything is out of stock there, because that so would have eaten up all my monies :(
