Tough As Nails Lacquer Assorted Swatches

Good afternoon! This post features four Tough As Nails Lacquer polishes, and I really think you guys are going to like these. They are a lot of fun! Be sure to read on for a coupon code, too...

43 Quintillion is named for the number of possible combinations in a Rubik's Cube. While I never understood the appeal of the Cube, I do like this polish a lot! Made of a mix of bright glitters and white and black accents, 43 Quintillion is sure to stand out. I've shown it here over American Apparel L'Esprit.




Flashbang is a mix of whites, semi-opaque whites, silvers, and micro holographic glitters. The formula on this one is quite easy to work with. I found there were a ton of glitter "goodies" per swipe and I didn't have to spot fill or anything. I imagine this would look good over just about any color, light or dark, vibrant or muted. Shown over Julep Taylor.




Obligatory Xmas Polish is one of my favorites that I tried out. While it functions nicely as a Christmas polish (like a decorated tree!), this beauty has a multitude of shapes and colors in it that make it appropriate for any time of year. I'm not usually drawn to greens, but this polish has really captured my heart. I layered one coat over Essie Mojito Madness.




Finally, we have Teal Me About It, which I've shown over China Glaze Escaping Reality. This glitter topper consists of all teal glitters in diamonds, hexes, and small hexes. I loved wearing this combination a lot and want to try putting it over more contrasting bases!




Which ones are you guys liking the most?
