Nerd Lacquer – Oi, Spaceman! Trio

Hey everyone! Tonight, I have the first of two Doctor Who sets I’m featuring from Nerd Lacquer. Yeah, I decided all of this week that I would post all of the trios from this talented woman (and I just so happen to own three! Woohoo, blog content!).

This one has got to be my favorite collections, and not just because of where the title originates from. Most people know that Donna Noble is my favorite modern DW companion; she is funny, strong-willed, and doesn’t fall into the new “love trap” that the modern-day series seems to possess. Donna has the biggest heart & brings some humanism into The Doctor, as well as a sharp, witty tongue.

While I’d love to talk about Donna & The Doctor and season 4 more, I’m going to show you the polishes in this trio instead.

EDIT 01/19/2012: I am soooooo sorry for mixing this up! I’ve blundered the two Doctor Who sets and categorized something under the wrong set. This has now been rectified. Thanks for your understanding.

This is three coats of Regeneration, a super awesome orange polish with large gold hexes & gold and black finer glitter. This reminds me of Lynnderella’s Couldron Drippings, except without the bar glitter.

I’d love to layer this over OPI Y’All Come Back, Ya Hear? and/or turn it into a jelly sandwich. How cool would that be? Unfortunately, you will not be exuding matter from your fingertips when you wear this, no matter how much you want to.

Don’t Blink is one of the few NL polishes that is opaque in two coats. This is a beautiful gray polish (a la Zoya Dove), with smaller black glitter & larger white hexes. Check out that honker on my ring finger!

This one might be a little too bright on my skin tone, but I care not. I do what I want! :P I love straight up grays, so this is perfect in my collection. Plus! Glitter! YES!

This one…this one is my favorite. Exterminate is a dark brown polish with black, blue, & gold small glitter, and large gold hexes. This polish embodies the essence of the Daleks, and looks fairly opaque in three coats. You may need a fourth, which is no issue, considering you add extra depth to the polish.

I would not want to cross a Dalek at any given point in time, even while wearing this. Though, if I flipped them the bird, would that mean they were flipping themselves off because Exterminate looks like the thick armoring of a Dalek? Discuss!

What I love about Nerd Lacquer polishes is that the range of depth you can attain from multiple coats is very similar to HARE Polish. You can slap four coats on & not worry about extra thickness. Like with most glitters, you may need a coat of IA or Gelous before your top coat to smooth out the surface, but that’s so routine for me that it’s now become a non-issue.
