Above the Curve Tardis

One of my favorite nail polish watering holes, Pshiiit Boutique, launched Above the Curve just last week or the week before. While Above the Curve still is largely neglected on my Blog, I absolutely love this Indie Brand and have collected a little herd by now. Tardis is a stunning teal metallic with soft scattered holo particles sparkling mostly in red and blue and the softest tinge of a color shift into purple area.






I applied two coats of Above the Curve Tardis over Butter London Patent-Gel Base Coat. While applying the first coat you might think OMG this is SOOO sheer - you will be proven wrong! When adding the second coat you might think OMG BRUSH-STROKES - again you will be proven wrong, Tardis is perfectly self leveling - gasp!!! Dry time is quick (in case some of you wondered). As you can see this is quite a shade shifter depending on the light. The metallic shimmer that is quite prominent indoors takes some steps back in the sun. The holo effect is slightly stronger IRL.

Final thoughts: Above the Curve Tardis is one spectacular teal number, holy cow, I am floored! As the one or the other reader might guess, my stash is vast and still, Tardis is totally unique :-o!!!

I ordered Above the Curve Tardis with Pshiiit Boutiqe.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for stopping by!!!

      Thank you Ananka, I first hoped for some more holo but with this metallic shine, the color shift and all more holo might have been over the top. And as said, seeing it on my nails left me gaping - LOL

    I'm still waiting on a grand total count of your collection. :D This is really pretty...in the first couple of shots, the color reminded me of Zoya Crystal, but in the last shot, it's obviously teal. I LOVE scattered holos in teal.

      Thank you Melissa - Oh I plead for a veil of mercy over the grand total of my polishes - it is two Helmers and one Alex nearly filled. I was a bit disappointed to not get as much teal in the sun - what a great hint, I think Crystal and Tardis certainly belong to the same family. Note to self: do a comparison. xxx
