Good Monday, everyone. I wanted to let you know about some changes I’ve made on my blog. You might have noticed that the title of my blog has changed. That is because I have finally started to use the name I’ve wanted to use for my blog, Adventures of a Mad Scientist. You might remember this name from a feature I used to do about frankenpolishes I’ve made. I really liked the name and I think it’s pretty indicative of who I am.

Secondly, please change all your bookmarks to www.adventuresofamadscientist.com. If you still use www.ladyflash.net, it will still forward that address to this page since I technically still own the name, but please don’t freak out if the name changes on your URL bar.

Finally, you can also follow new updates if you like my Facebook page, found here. Please click the Like button & spread the word!

Thank you all for your support, and I hope you will continue to read the blog in the future & beyond! <3

This is two coats of It’s Just A Flesh Wound over two coats of a-england Camelot. Did I mention that Camelot is now my favorite black? More favorite than WnW Black Creme? It’s opaque in one coat, is black as night (or #000000, take your pick), & just wears so well!

Anyway, back to this pretty glitter. I love the large bronze & red hexes and how they work very well with the smaller silver, red, & bronze glitter. I love warmer colors like red & bronze over black (even when it comes to what I wear!). I surprisingly don’t have anything like this, not even a glitter layering combo!

My love of this polish comes from my love of the movie Monty Python & The Holy Grail. I remember watching this movie in an English AP class my senior year in high school. Can you believe I got extra credit for coming early to school to watch this? :D

Hey everyone! I’d like to apologize for mixing up the order of polishes featured in each Doctor Who set from Nerd Lacquer on Wednesday’s post…the blog post has been fixed. My lamp broke while swatching, so I had to stop and go out and get a new bulb before continuing, which put me out of the groove. I accidentally named something it shouldn’t have, so I got mixed up. I should have just had my spreadsheet open, but that would have been too easy. ;)

Anyway! Today I’m featuring the Mad Man With A Box trio. This is a pretty sweet trio of polishes, while still managing to bring out my inner Whovian.

This is one you have seen (because I accidentally put this under the Spaceman trio) recently. This is three coats of All of Space & Time, a shimmery mint green polish with light green glitter & larger pink glitter. I’d love to layer this over a mint green like Illamasqua Milf.

This one has gotta be one of my favorites from Nerd Lacquer as a whole; the green and pink mesh very well together, and it’s definitely got your attention without being too busy.

Home of the Untempered Schism is similar to Exterminate; it is another brown polish with large gold hexes and smaller black & gold glitter. However, this doesn’t have a ton of blue, but small red glitter instead. It’s a warmer brown, and anyone who likes neutral, non-flashy colors would like this a lot.

The glitter isn’t as in your face because the brown is a lot warmer with the red and gold. So pretty, though! This would definitely be a “palate cleanser” for me as well.

This is three coats of I Think You Call Me…Sexy, aka how did this woman get the perfect shade of TARDIS blue in this polish?! And is that scattered holographic glitter I see? With large blue hexes? It’s outta this world! (Sorry, I had to say that. I couldn’t help it. Please groan accordingly.)

The name of the polish comes from a Neil Gaiman episode in season 6, where the essence of the TARDIS makes her home in a woman’s body. I don’t know if I want the TARDIS to take over my body, but I imagine it would be quite interesting.

The collection is great, but my heart definitely favors Oi, Spaceman! because of the Donna Noble references. Mad Man With A Box brings the Whovian out of us all.

Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend! If you’re in Phoenix and looking for something to do this weekend, come out to Jobing.com on Saturday and watch the Coyotes take on the Lightning! Dollar beers + Stamkos = AWESOME!!

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.
