NerdLacquer - Cyance Friction

(**Warning: photo heavy post!**)

Happy Saturday!

A friend of the blog lent NerdLacquer's Cyance Friction for my swatching pleasure.  This was such a fun color to wear, and the formula was easy to apply.

Take a look (all pics are 2 coats):

I found the texture a bit gritty, but I expect a coat of good topcoat would take care of that.

You see the pretty gold glitter?  I couldn't figure out how to get it OFF the side of the bottle and onto my nails without shaking the bottle.

Look what happened when I started to remove the polish:

All these different colors and glitters were revealed!  I saw more glitter and a silvery-purpley shimmer.  I wish more of these colors were visible before removal.

Out of curiosity, I paired Cyance Friction with China Glaze Four Leaf Clover and NYC East Village on alternating fingers to see if it would look any different:

The China Glaze base gave much more of a greenish appearance to the overall color, while NYC didn't alter the look of Cyance Friction too much.

I ended up liking this color much more than I thought I would.  It also made me very curious about their other polishes...and there went an hour of my time searching the Etsy store and looking at other swatches.  I definitely think NerdLacquer has found itself a new fan!
