Formula X Swatch Spam

Sooooooooooooo, due to the fact that I'm lazy and busy (I'm busy, therefore I'm lazy the rest of the time.) I don't have anything kewl to post.  So, I dug some old swatch photos out of the dust bin of my computer in order to have something to post.
These are all Formula X polishes, and the brand is available exclusively at Sephora.
First, we have White Matter.  It's a white matte polish.  Funny how that worked out, huh?
Next, we have Majestic- a navy blue jelly.  Ok, so, quick backstory.  I was (and still am) obsessed with Thorin Oakenshield*, and if you spend much time in certain areas of the internet, you've probably seen the #majesticThorin joke.  Well, I saw a polish called Majestic and decided I need it.  I currently have two bottles, and I want to pick up one more.
Just in case.  
Hehe.
*They say if a crush lasts longer than six months, it's love.  If that's true, I'm most definitely in love with more than one fictional character, celebrity, and actual cute guys I know.

Next is Volatile, a silver holographic glitter topcoat.  ðŸ’–  The only problem with this was it was very chunky and dried out fast.
And, lastly, we have Legend.  One word: lame.  This is supposed to be a colorshift, and instead it just sits there looking pathetic.  I didn't like this polish, and ended up using a lot of it on one of my dragon's eggs.
So, there we have it!  Today's moderately boring swatch spam post!
See you all later!  ðŸ’‚💣💤😊💬💫💪😚

Textured nail polish swatch spam

Hello there.  ðŸ˜Š
So, I don't have any finishe projects to post about, so I decided to do a nail polish swatch spam.  Does anyone remember five, six, however many years ago when textured polish was the thing?  It all started with Sally Hansen's "Crackle" polish, and just sort of snowballed from there.  (sidenote: crackle polish is what got me into nails and stuff in the first place)  There was that OPI liquid sand line, the leather effect polishes, Zoya's pixie dust line, and so on.  I'll be focusing on Sally Hansen polishes in this post.  I'll be showing you three crackle polishes, one "sugar coat" polish, and one "fuzzy coat" polish.
Looking through these photos, some of these are nearly two years old now.  And were taken before I knew how to use a camera.  And back when my nails were squares.
Anyway...
Sally Hansen Sugar Coat in "Bubble Plum"
Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat in "Wool-lite"
Sally Hansen Crackle in "Fuchsia Shock"
Sally Hansen Crackle in "Wavebreak"
Sally Hansen Crackle in "Fractured Foil"
There you have it!  Aren't they pretty?  On an interesting sidenote, the Sugar Coat texture is a HUGE hit with kids. They like to feel it, and then they're like "How do you do that??"  So, if you work with kids in a daycare or school, this is a polish they'd think is cool.
Though, do they even still make it????
Anyway, see you all later!👱👯👈👪😼
