Hello lovely readers!
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it). Mine was okay, I didn't do much. I did go to visit my grandmother, who came from Mexico just recently. I love my grandma, she is just hilarious! I love to spend time with her, especially since unfortunately my other grandmother passed away about a year ago. Anyways, besides that, all my time has been consumed by Skyrim. I am so addicted to that game.
I will start doing the swatches for the Cult Nails Super Powers Collection~ This is Time Traveler (Hello Doctor Who reference!) as well as Time Traveler with Clairvoyant on top. Enjoy :)
Time Traveler is a dark imperial blue with a creme/jelly finish. Honestly, I thought the color was going to be a little brighter, and I am a little disappointed at how dark it turned out. But, I ended up loving how it looked on my nails, so I guess I am not all that sad.
Price and Availability
$10 on the Cult Nails website. I got the entire collection of 4 polishes for $30 during the pre-sale. I am not sure you can get it for $30 still, but you can check.
Formula
This polish applies like a creme, but it has a semi-jelly finish (super glossy). This polish is SUPER opaque (no pun intended), but it is a little bit on the thicker side. It isn't too think, and it is still applies nicely. I just wish it could be a tiny bit less thick, but overall I am very content with the formula.
*I have a base coat, and one thick coat of Time Traveler.
*With one coat of Claivoyant (aka Unicorn Puke) on top. I would advise using a good top coat over top, even though I didn't apply one.
Doesn't it look similar to stained glass!???
My camera freaked out because this polish is just so awesome!
*I will be doing a separate review on Clairvoyant.
Verdict
I don't think Time Traveler is a "must-have" unless you don't own any color like it. I mostly bought it because of the name, and also because I bought the entire collection as a set. I do love this polish, but it is a very basic color and I am sure you can find something similar. I will say that the polish is unique in two ways, because 1) it is a jelly/creme hybrid that is very opaque and 2) for the opacity, it dries very fast.
So yeah, it isn't a must-have (unless you are a crazy nail polish fanatic like me) but it is really nice to have in your collection.

Recommend? Any Doctor Who-nail polish lovers? If yes, then pick this up ;)
Repurchase? I don't think I would buy a back up of TT, Clairvoyant is another mater...
UPDATE: Removal is a little messy. It doesn't stain my nails, but when removing it, it will smudge around your nails.
