Hello friends! No point in wasting anyone's time with a paragraph on how long it has been since I last posted (but of course it has been a ridiculously long time). So instead let's just get on to the pretties!

left to right, up to down: Digital Nails Fantastic!/Allons-y+Pahlish The Clock Strikes
Twelve; Smitten Polish Her Name Was Rose+Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Is That a
Technical Term, Jiggery Pokery?; Spellbound Nails Leave The Brakes On |
All of which, as you may have guessed from the title) are polishes inspired by Doctor Who, which is the greatest thing in the world, of course (no room for discussion there, it just is). Since season 8 started a couple weeks ago, I have been in even more of a Whovian groove than usual -- rewatching the new series properly all the way through (even though I am always watching episodes here and there) and actually using some of the dozens of Doctor-inspired polish that I obsessively hoard. Yay for using untrieds!

First up is a gradient mani using a base of 2 coats of
Digital Nails Fantastic!, a dark slate gray creme with bits of graphite mixed in (cool!) which is of course to represent the equally cool Ninth Doctor. I then sponged
Digital Nails Allons-y! (Ten
♥) a charcoal holo with gold shimmer, on the tips. I finally dabbed a little Pahlish The Clock Is Striking Twelve, a gray and black holo glitter, on the middle of the nail. That is three polishes, three doctors, 1 mani! If only I could have worked a Matt Smith (
♥♥♥) polish in there... (like Digital Nails Geronimo! -- will save that for another post)

Next up is a mani I wore this weekend actually, while I was rewatching season 2 - specifically the last episodes of season 2 ;__; We'll call this my "Tribute to Rose Tyler" mani, since both polishes used were inspired by her. I started out with two coats of
Smitten Polish Her Name Was Rose, a rosy (duh) pink holo microglitter. I then used
Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Is that a Technical Term, Jiggery Pokery? a mix of pink and silver glitters in a sheer pink jelly base.

Lastly is the polish I wore to celebrate the start of Season 8 two weeks ago. Instead of being inspired by one of the Doctor's regenerations or companions, it is inspired by none other than the TARDIS herself! Spellbound Nails Leave The Brakes On is a delightfully vibrant bright TARDIS blue holo - I think I used two coats here.

I found an excellent GIF of River telling the Doctor he shouldn't
leave the brakes on, but it was a bit *spoilery* so have
a wink instead ;) just steer clear of her hallucinogenic lipstick! |
Anyway, this was the most fun I've had writing about polish in forever, what with all the GIFs, so don't be surprised if you find another post full of Doctor Who pretties soon! Til next time~
