Doctor Lacquer Something Spatial: Galaxies Collection Swatches & Review

by Lisa Heath

Press Sample

Forgive me for any typing errors in this post – my motherboard fried on my computer and I’m working on my MacBook which I’m not entirely use to (even though I’ve had it for months, this is probably the 5th time I’ve used it… can we say “unnecessary impulse buy”?) BUT I guess it does come in handy to have it for moments like these!

Tonight I have the Doctor Lacquer Something Spatial: Galaxies collection to show you!  A couple weeks ago I showed you the Something Spatial: Stars Collection and this is the “darker” set in comparison (but no flakies).

What is the Something Spatial: Galaxies collection?  It’s a collection of  4 colorshifting thermal polishes! All the galaxies have a jelly base that transitions from dark and deep when cold, and light and gray to almost white when warm! Dries satin, but I top coated all of them.

Overview

Between Something Spatial: Stars and Something Spatial: Galaxies, while I liked both sets – Galaxies is my favorite.  I love the darker shades with the shifting shimmer within.  They all look really pretty in both the warm and cold state.

Price: $9.99 Each

Great review, lovely collection. I really like the colors when warm, but not a huge fan of the pale shades when cold. Hope your computer gets fixed soon!
