It's the Doctor. The same doctor with a new face.

Now it's time for the second installment of the "Oi, Spaceman" polish swatch and review. Moving along at a steady pace, I present Regeneration - an orange polish packed with glitter of different sizes, shapes, and colors which was inspired by Doctor Who and the regeneration process which has allowed the show to carry on over decades.

Behold!!!! A decent picture!!!! WOOOO!!!!

 The formula was right on par with that of Exterminate - easy to apply with full coverage after two coats. Out of the collection, this was the polish that I was most unsure about - in general I'm a blue/green/neutral kind of polish hoarder so a bright orange isn't completely within my comfort range. Despite this, I took the leap. The question then becomes - is this a polish that I would purchase on its own, and do I love it? The answer is "No" and "No."

Regeneration or Kraft Mac'n Cheese?

 Why am I not in love? It must have something to do with my skin tone, but once the polish was actually on me, I kept thinking of processed cheese. Unlike the contrasting and complementary colored glitter in Exterminate, there was just a whole lot of orange... and more orange... did I mention orange? No? Well, there's a lot of orange in this polish. The lack of contrast left something to be desired in my opinion.

All in all, this really is a lovely color (for someone else) with a fantastic formula and an even better source of inspiration. If you like your oranges, this is for you!



Stay tuned, next time I'll be bringing the third and final (for now) installment of the "Oi, Spaceman" swatch-a-paloosa. In anticipation, I leave you with this...
