Comparison Time- All of Time and Space vs. Never Enough of These


Today, I have a comparison of one of my precious polishes, Nerd Lacquer's All of Time and Space, to Pound of Glitter's (a newer indie polish and polish jewelry maker) Never Enough of These.

I saw My Lucid Bubble did a comparison of the two and I couldn't help but want to see the differences for myself. 

All of Time and Space is on my Index and Ring Finger while Never Enough of These is on my Middle and Ring Finger.

I used 3 coats for both polishes in all of these photos. The formulas for both polishes were about the same. They were both a little sheer and even with 3 coats there are empty spots, both of them would be better to layer over a mint green polish.

The big difference between these two polishes is the color. All of Time and Space has a more pigmented base, at 3 coats it is significantly greener than Never Enough of These. Never Enough of These wins in the pink hex glitter department.  All of Time and Space has a lot more silver hex glitter and small magenta pink while Never Enough of These has significantly more pink hex glitter and an equal amount of small glitter.

In conclusion, If you are lemming All of Time and Space than Never Enough of These should do the trick. It is a gorgeous polish with an awesome formula.

You can check out Pound of Glitter polishes on her Facebook page and buy Never Enough of These and her other polishes at Etsy.

Quick swatches

I wanted to swatch my new polishes just so I could I see how pretty they are and I thought I would share.

Starting from the top right to the bottom left is Enchanted Awesomeness, Enchanted Austin Powers, Hare Heat Plague, Hare Magic Mist, Hare Why So Igneous, Hare Dog Day Dream, Hare Asteroid Turf, and Nerd Lacquer Holy Grail.

I'm in love with all of these except Heat Plague, but I might need to layer that one to actually appreciate it. Right now, the glitter just looks a bit too muddy and congested for my taste. I also think I will need to layer Magic Mist and Holy Grail in order to get them to really pop.

I used two coats for all of these swatches.

Nail Mail!!

I came home today to some awesome mail! Actually awesome doesn't describe it, but thanks to preorders, restocks, blog sales, swaps and a hoarder mindset these pretties are mine!!

Hare polishes are so gorgeous, I'm so glad to finally have gotten my hands on a few.


From left to right is Asteroid Turf, Dog Day Dream, Magic Mist, Why so Igneous? and Heat Plague.

Here are some close ups:
It's time to ooh and ahh
I swapped one of my unused Nerd Lacquers for Holy Grail.
I can't wait to find out if it actually glows in the dark!

I've been craving a gold holo, so when Enchanted polishes were restocked I went for Austin Powers and couldn't resist Awesomenes. I'm glad I caved, look at that rainbow!

I can't wait for swatching time! If my nails could drool they would be. Now, I have one problem, which polish should I try first?!?
