Dandy Nails Bathed in Light Swatch!


I wrote this post a few days ago as I'm currently preparing for my comprehensive oral examination for graduate school which is tomorrow. I have to stand up in front of 5 PhDs who can ask me any question about biology or marine biology for about two hours. The results of this exam determine whether I leave the program or officially become a Master's Degree Candidate. Wish me luck! If I don't post tomorrow it's because I failed and have to re-take the exam... in which case I will probably be too upset to post.

Today is Bathed in Light by Dandy Nails. I'd had Parallel Universe in my Etsy shopping cart for some time, but didn't ever get around to ordering it. Then I saw Bathed in Light, which is basically Parallel Universe with holographic glitter, and I had to have it. Bathed in Light is a pink/grey duochrome with tiny holo glitter in it.

The formula was excellent (which I have come to expect from Dandy Nails) and applied with ease. I used two coats and it was still a touch sheer, but I really like how it looks like this. It's soft and feminine, but with glitter and the duochrome to give it a fun kick.


Dandy Nails retails for $8 and is available from the Dandy Nails store on  Etsy

I expected the polish to be a little bit darker, but I'm still definitely a fan. This has the same glitter as Dandy Nails Look Around. It dries a touch rough but doesn't need any special attention from the top coat to be smooth as glass.

    1. It does kinda "glow" doesn't it? I hadn't noticed that before.

      I didn't know you were in biology as well! Any plans for what you will do after you have a degree?

      Thanks for the support!
