Gotta Have Brains

I'll be starting my series of swatches and reviews for Tough As Nails Lacquer today, and first up is It's All Over Now*!

It's All Over Now* contains a mix of lavender, purple, and blue hex glitters in addition to iridescent ones. This one's insanely pretty in the bottle, and it delivers on the nails as well! For the results shown below, I used three coats with a layer of Seche Vite. As you can see, the grey base is opaque enough to go without undies, but I'd recommend adding another layer of top coat to get a completely smooth finish!





Tough As Nails Lacquer It's All Over Now*

The grey base reminded me of brains, which brought this song to mind:

Has anyone heard it before? My bestie introduced it to me a couple years back... it's not exactly one of Trey Songz best hits, but the chorus about brains always gets stuck in my head whenever I think about the song. Oh, before I get distracted by the chorus again, you can keep up with Tough as Nails Lacquer on their blog here, Facebook page here, and pick up some of their polishes here. Yuuuup!

This polish reminds to another one by an "artiste". I see what you did there with the title lol ;)

looks beautiful on you! I haven't ventured too much into indies, all the talk about curling/sinking glitters and discrepancy between online pics an actual product scares me a bit.But they're so pretty~~

Love it! And the fact that the base becomes opaque quite easily is such a PRO :D
Hmmm... I'd think that brains are somehow more pink, you know? More kind of Claire's / Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop, ya know? :p
