Literary Lacquers The Ultimate Answer Swatches

One of my favorite brands Literary Lacquers celebrates her birthday each year with a limited edition polish release- the bottles are numbered and they are only sold in her shop for a few days (this year it’s August 28th-30th). I absolutely love her Hitchhiker’s Guide-themed polish Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster so I was excited to see that the Birthday LE this year drew inspiration from the same book (a favorite of mine)!

Literary Lacquers The Ultimate Answer is described as a peacock green/blue light linear holo with tons of silver holo sparkle and glitter and tiny silver holo stars. I used three coats along with Out The Door top coat. The formula was great, not too thick or thin and easy to apply. You do have to fish for the stars if you want more than 1-2 per nail. Amy let me know beforehand that this was intentional so that you don’t end up with a ton of glitter on your nail and a lumpy finish.

I honestly wasn’t sure how I was going to like that (you guys know me- I loooove glitter) but in this case I think it works. The stars really blend in well with the base color so you get a tiny sparkle here or there but it doesn’t overwhelm the base. And the base color is just so gorgeous- it almost reminds me of sea glass.

Overall, this is a sparkly and super awesome shade and will make a great addition to any collection. Again, this will be available in her shop from the 28th-30th ONLY so make sure to set a reminder if you want to grab it for yourself!
