Other: Like all the best and most dignified indie polishes, Scofflaw Nail Varnish is 3-Free (containing no dibutyl phthalate, toluene, or formaldehyde) because we’re in the business of awesome nail polish, not carcinogens. Only high-quality, cosmetic-grade pigments and glitter are used. Still, don’t eat the nail polish. While all Scofflaw Nail Varnish has been tested before being available to the public, some settling and separation of glitter/pigments over time is normal in all nail polish. So give your bottle a good shake (or use it as a prop in your next jazz-hands routine) before each use. Each bottle contains stainless steel mixing balls to aid you; jazz-hand routine ideas are all on you, sorry.
Application Guide
For best results, apply thin coats of nail polish and wait until each layer is dry before applying the next. The first coat should be streaky and sheer, the second will start to provide full coverage, and the third (which is not always needed) will leave you with full coverage. Sometimes if it’s extra-glittery it helps to ‘dab’ the polish on.
Always use a quality base coat and a top coat such as Seche Vite or Gelous (or both) with your Scofflaw nail polish to guarantee a shiny, smooth, chip-free manicure when you’re out saving the world or changing the cat’s litter box. Unfortunately, clear nail polish doesn’t smooth out glitters and may leave the surface rough.

Elise B (verified owner) –
I grew up watching Creature from the Black Lagoon, so I had to snap this up. A very attractive dirty greyish teal that is opaque in two coats and dries quickly. The glitter pieces range from small to medium, and it is more noticeable in certain lighting than others (natural lighting seems to bring it out best). It is never too “loud” or overpowering. In some light the glitter is hardly visible at all.
I was a little doubtful about the color, but on the nail it is very pretty. The darker base color makes this a suitable fall/winter color. The polish works fine as a summer color as well, since the glitter is tropical-hued. I initially put two top coats on (just some generic brand), but the finish was still a little more uneven/bumpy than I like, so I caved and did a coat of Seche Vive gel top coat. That’s what did the trick.
A pretty and unusual color that works for most of the year, with an awesome namesake. Strongly recommended.
