I'm back sooner than I thought because I found something to show to you: the Sally Hansen Ultra HD nail polishes. I was out and about running errands and ran into them, so I grabbed them. When I got home, I swatched them for you.
I layered all of them over black. I used one coat of Nubar Black and two coats of the Ultra HD for each. I did the swatches this way because from what I've seen, the Ultra HD's take 4-5 coats to be opaque, and aren't terribly opaque even at that. Given that there are eight colors, I didn't want to be stuck swatching until noon doing five coats of each, and I would not wear them that way anyhow - I'd simply layer them over black, so that's how I'm showing them to you.
The swatches are under artificial light, and the order is numerical - they're numbered 09-16. They start out strong, get a little weak, and then get strong again in this order.
Byte is magenta in the bottle, magenta and purple on the nail over black.

LCD is a light pink in the bottle, far more impressive on the nail.

Wavelength is an orange that's kind of rust over black, and where we start to get a little weak.

Hue is a yellow with a bit of green duochrome over black.

Spectrum is where they start to get strong again, a shimmering sparkly blue.

The last one, Laser, is a sparkly royal blue with pinkish purple duochrome.

Layered over black, I think they're wearable and cool, although I'd pass on Wavelength and Hue if I knew how they'd look on the nail. I might try those two over a matching base to see if they turn out a little better, but I don't care for either over black. Otherwise, I like all of them, especially the really sparkly ones.
That's the update for now, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!
