Welcome back to Swatch Saturday! Today I’m sharing with you a Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer prototype. I said last week that I’m getting back into the Doctor Who collection, and while this is true, I’m just wearing things in the order that I bought and received them, so the order is going to be a little mixed up. This prototype was purchased during an annual BEGL depression awareness fundraiser. This is Prototype DW 13.4; I’m wearing three coats with one coat of Seche Vite top coat.
Prototype DW 13.4 is a white creme with a pink-to-gold shifting shimmer. Application was good; it’s sometimes hard to get complete coverage with a white creme until the third coat, and this one was no exception. I had streaks and bald spots until the very last coat I applied. Also, the white was a bit thick and completely overpowered the shimmer. You can see the shimmer in the bottle, but it gets completely covered up by the creme, making it look like a plain white creme. On the plus side, it dries quickly and has a really nice glossy finish.
So I like this polish, even though it didn’t really work as intended; I guess this is why it didn’t make it past the prototype stage. This has actually happened to me before with other white cremes with shimmer, indie and mass-market polishes alike. It’s always a shame, but it’s not like a white creme isn’t a good thing to have on hand. Get it, on hand, because nails. This polish will still get lots of love from me.
I took a couple of photos outside in direct sun; the shimmer was really strong in the bottle in the sun, so I thought that if it was going to show up on my nails, this would be the time. It didn’t.
You gotta look really hard.
There is only one bottle of DW 13.4 out there and I have it. Other BEGL polishes are available from their online shop.
Heh I love that indies sell prototypes now! It’s a very pretty color!
I would not have guessed that polish had glitter, if it weren’t for your description and the photo at the end! It does look nice if you’re looking for a plain white colour. But since that wasn’t the intent, definitely back to the drawing board.
This reminds me of a marshmallow!
BeG makes some killer stuff. I will pretty much wear anything she makes, as she has yet to steer me wrong.
I love a good creamy white – and that shimmer makes it all the more interesting!
I actually have a nail art post going live tomorrow featuring something similar! These kinds of polishes are the perfect nail art bases 🙂
This is such a beautiful polish!! White, creamy, and shimmer?! It’s like a triple threat.
This totally reminds me of a marshmallow or s’more… what a beauitful creamy white. I love it.
I love the shiny finish on this color.
Sometimes when the base is too opaque the shimmer hides. It looks like a nice white creme!
Its diff to see the glitter in the pictures but I love this white
Too bad the shimmer wasn’t as prominent, but I love a plain white mani. It really pops on darker skin tones.
Didnt realize it was so hard to create nail polishes, but I guess so. How neat!
So pretty! I’m having all kinda of ideas for nail art right now
I really like the look of the formula of this one it’s such a shame the shimmer wasn’t more prominent on the nail x
