Formula X for Sephora- TNT [Swatch]


Today, I've got a super quick swatch of  Formula X for Sephora- TNT to show you! This is super quick because it's more of a layering than anything else- I didn't take too many photos.

Right now, I'm still having technical problems with my flashes, and it looks like neither is going to be worthwhile to repair...which is a bummer. So, I'm currently shopping around for a replacement. Until then, I can't really take well-lit photos that are up to my standard, so hopefully you guys will understand if my posting schedule slows down or goes out of whack- lol! This post was something I already had in the wings, and I wasn't sure I was going to share it or not.

At any rate, on to the polish! TNT is from Formula X's Xplosives Top Coats line. I've swatched its sister polish, Crash, here.  TNT is a mix of variously-sized cobalt blue hexagonal matte glitters.  This is truly cobalt. Very rich, very beautiful.

Artificial light, one coat over China Glaze- What A Pansy:



I feel like it would look great over so many different colors, and am super happy I decided to add this one to my collection. I don't have anything else like it!


Formula: TNT is identical to Crash in almost every way. It's well-suspended, and you don't have to fish around for the biggest glitters. The density is good for layering, and it paints over the nail surface easily.


Have a great weekend, guys!

    I have the green version of this, if I'm not mistaken it is called maniacal. Fun glitter and I was surprised how easy it was to apply the polish. Too bad about your flash, I hope you can find a replacement soon! Have a relaxed sunday!

    I got the periwinkle version from a friend and I love it too, is so beautiful. This one is amazingly pretty too. I also saw a version with coral matte glitters. NEED. We don't have Sephora in my country, so it's a PITA to get :p

    Coral matte? I must have missed that one- sounds awesome! Sorry it is so hard to get! That can be super frustrating about polish sometimes. :/
