NerdLacquer Quasar

Quasar was released by reknowned indie polish maker NerdLacquer as part of the early FROM SPAAAAAACE collection. It is a dark swampy pine green jelly polish packed with holly green, emerald and silver hex glitters, olive and chartreuse microglitters and fine and ultrafine holographic sparkles. The overall effect is of a beautiful Christmas green sparkling mini-mosaic, festive and full of bon vivant (hey, FRENCH!) buoyancy.

Application was dreamy. The consistency is liquid and, though dense with glitters, smoothly applying. An abundance of components accompanies each brushful and disperses fluidly and evenly across the nail. Such formulary skill is one of Amanda's great hallmarks, and it is amazing and delightful to experience. Coverage is excellent. I achieved complete opacity and bottle color in two easy coats. Quasar dries naturally in good time to a slightly textured but still smooth and shiny finish.

Photos show two coats of Quasar over Seche Rebuild treatment and Butter London Nail Foundation basecoat with a topcoat of Seche Vite for added gloss.

Typically I shy away from a green this close to Kelly green, but Quasar is so charming, so easy to wear and light on the nail that it has won me over. I feel perfectly in tune with the season with it on my nails, an unsual sensation that I welcome with a slight but noticeable burgeoning of my Grinchy heart. 

The dark green jelly perfectly showcases all of the fantastically well-apportioned glitter components without overwhelming them. You can see and appreciate them all, and they come together cohesively in a look that is celebratory but not over the top. I can't imagine a better polish for Christmas!
