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.

Bonus Pic - Cirque Never Nude

This is not a full post, but a omfg this polish is so gorgeous I have to share this crappy cell phone picture of it.

Two coats of Cirque Never Nude is just perfect!

Enjoy!

Sandcastles in the Sand...

Well...there aren't actually any sandcastles here, but I can't help making that HIMYM (How I Met your Mother) reference whenever I think about Pretty & Polished's Sand Art.

In case you don't know Sandcastles in the Sand or just happen to love Robin Sparkles like me, enjoy the music video!

I layered two thick coats of Sand Art over one coat of Sally Hansen's Instra-Dri in Lightening. I wish I had used a more vibrant yellow, but Lightening is the only yellow I own.

Nonetheless, I love this combo and Sand Art was a dream to apply.

Sand Art is comprised of tiny matte glitter in purple, yellow, blue, green and pink.

This is my first matte glitter polish, so I was a bit worried about the amount of top coat that was going to be needed to make it nice and smooth; I've heard they are top coat eaters, but I used one layer of Out the Door and my nails weren't gritty at all.

Pretty & Polished nail polishes are sold on Etsy and Llarowe.

Hare's Heat Plague

I don't know why Heat Plague is failing me. It looks gorgeous in the bottle and the swatches made my eyes go wide, but on my nails...bleh.

Now don't get my wrong, it's not ugly, it's just not what I want. It is just too dark, I tried it over a variety of greens, but nothing really wows me.

It takes two coats of polish to get to the glitter level I enjoy, but then the base is just too dark. The polish itself was wonderful, no glitter fishing or trouble. In fact, it is jam packed full of glitter; so it gets dense very quickly.

Here are a few pictures of my Hare ombre:

Here is what I started with:

Thumb- Orly Jealous Much, Index- China Glaze Gaga for Green, Middle- Sinful Colors Happy Ending, Ring-  Sinful Colors Irish Green, Pinky- Revlon Posh

Just noticed the weird green patch on my index finger, I'm not sure how or when that happened, but sorry about that.

Here are two coats of Heat Plague over the greens: 

My favorite was two coats over SC Kelly Green.

Any suggestions? If not, on the swap list it goes. I know someone will love it!
